The Oblivious Murderer

I love the Banshee but there is always some little kid who takes it and gets it destroyed within 30 seconds of using it but if i can get to it before them I can usually do some significant amount of damage before i die. I love this vehicle and I currently have 250 Banshee kills(ranked+social)

Haha, I always hear stories of how much you own in banshees.

I'll be sure to try some of these out.

thanks for the tips I had been staying away from the halo3 shee because it's so different from the older versions that I'm used to.

Be sure to check out the first thread "Tool of Destruction: The Banshee" too -- it's got some great basic tips for avoiding the early kills as well!

Halo 3 in The Work PLace: Work Hard, Play Hard
Posted By: John Lennon
My mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy." They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didnt understand life.

Great format, it was a pleasure to read. Those are some great tips. I follow most of those on Valhalla, but the Sandtrap ones are news to me! I will have to make sure to do this.

Since Gamevee doesn't have the best upload speeds, I pre-queued everything. Your paragraphs referenced the videos in a strange order, so it took some work to figure out which video you were referencing. Beyond that, it was a great writeup.

Fighting solves everything

Good work Fo. Every time we play together and you are flying, I hear the tag from the ALLSTATE insurance commercial tag in my head...

--Are you in good hands?--

Why yes I am.

The Winning factor

This will surely come in handy for me.I tend to love vehicles during big team games&such.Being that I usually get killed in the banshee early this will be looked over...

The first thread I read from you on this turned me from being sucky with the Banshee to my team actually making it a priority to get me airborn.

This second thread looks to be made of similar gold. I shall study the Gamevee videos at home (can't watch them at work).

Regardless though, thank you for taking the time to write this all out.

Cheers.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Nice work, man. That was really helpful. Nice vids, too. I bow to your superior Banchee-ing skills, haha.

do you have any advice for facing a hornet in sandtrap (with missles), because that is the only place i find it challenging to kill them

Hornet's are beasts on every level but avalanche. I would probably try to avoid it and let your team take it out with missiles or a laser.

  • 09.05.2008 8:54 AM PDT

Awesomeness Fo, and thanks for the call out! I may have more kills but you are a better teacher. With a couple things I picked up I will only be even deadlier. I have to be honest, I thought a couple of those videos were of me!

Props to our teamates, without them we Banshee lovers would be lasered every time.

Come fly the friendly skis!

Yeah, I don't know what to tell you on that one, man. I'm more of a sniper/BR guy, so bancheeing isn't really my thing. I defer to better pilots....Fo? Ghutta?

I haven't had much experience against missile-armed Hornets, since Banshees and Hornets rarely appear on the same map in Matchmaking, except on one-sided Avalanche games. My strategy would likely be a combination of the way you take on a missile pod and a Warthog. Get low, underneath the Hornet's firing range, and then try to fire on him from underneath. To avoid the missiles, either dodge behind cover or, if no cover is available, fly towards the oncoming missiles and do a left- or right-roll (depending on the situation) a few seconds before the missiles would otherwise hit you.

As always, the best strategy is to avoid aerial dogfights entirely -- communicate with your teammates who are better situated on the ground with anti-vehicle weapons, and keep low, fast, and hidden until the enemy is out of the air.

Thanks for the info. I have come back from many games because of the banshee.
