Hey Fo absolutely love these tips. It's just a shame I can't get a team that can communicate they all just rush and it ruins the game. But I have a nice little tip for everyone. Sorry if it has been posted but if you are flying around in a banshee or cruising in a ghost (anything that boosts) hold down A or LB for bumper jumper users =D and it will slow the ghost/banshee down while you are boosting and allow HEAPS more handling and mobility.

It works even when you are not boosting makes turns more sharp and such. But I love this trick to bits when flying around in a banshee i can constantly boost around a map without having to let up on the boost :) and have some really amazing splatters. Thanks again for the post Foman good to see some smart and well thought out posts out there. =D

you are a good translator
Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

What I like to do is when your team controls both banshees on certain maps, fly low in formation and fire a pair of fuel rods at a group of enemies or a vehicle and break off and return fire with the plasma cannons.

Sad face. I really wanted to see those! This is the first time I've seen this thread.

We just need to instigate more elitism and Mythic shenanigans.

Yeah, thats what me and my friend like to do on valhalla. Due to foman's great advice i recently went +33 on a 2 flag ctf on valhalla. The tips and everything worked, especially since i practiced evading the missle pod. Thanks for the great thread foman!

  • 02.22.2009 12:13 PM PDT

And all but 2 of my kills were in the banshee

  • 02.22.2009 12:14 PM PDT

Hehe, im you guys' worst nightmare :)

My opening moves for valhalla team slayer are:
-Grab the banshee, fly to the laser and eject.
-Pickup the laser
-Run to cover
-Laser the opsing teams banshee, and the fool who got in our banshee


I found this works well for two things.

Firstly, i found that nine times out of ten, when playing with random matchmakers, my teamates will grab the banshee and fly out to get missle pod'ed right off the bat. So in a way, i save our team from giving them a free kill. I only do this move at the start of a game, because after the first spawn its easier for my teamates to take the other team off guard with our banshee without any real strategy.

Secondly, 1m t3h pr0 lasz3r3r (lol), and i find that this is the fastest way possible to get to my precious >:)

Wonderful post. Just wondering if theres any way you can get the videos back online? They've all 404'd :(

I can't stand people who waste the banshee. I rarely get killed in the beginning of the match when I get in it, and I can usually help clear the hill and secure the laser. If the other team isn't using the missile pod imediately, you can usually get a few easy kills on the enemies going for the laser. If they do use the missile pod, the only option is to get away.

yeah, they got rid of gamevee. Foman, could you please repost them on the new site for gamvee. I think the new site is video.gotgame.com.

hey i was just wondering .. do you know whether you should go for the banshee in heavy variants like valhalla heavy even though there's a bunch of splasers normally

  • 02.28.2009 11:14 PM PDT

This thread kicks so much ass, and is helpful to all pilots out there.

  • 02.28.2009 11:19 PM PDT

Thanks Foman. Great guide.

It generally isn't a good idea, although you shouldn't ignore the banshee altogether. It can be useful in assisting teammates gain hill controll early on valhalla, and if your team has good vehicle control on sandtrap, it can be good for getting around quickly and spawn kiling. I find it to be pretty effective on standoff heavy, you can hit the enemy snipers and lasers in the back, as well as get people on the spawns, then duck behind the cliffs if the fire gets too heavy.

"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

On Sandtrap, if no one on my team has started to the banshee immediately, I will laser it within 10 seconds of the start of the game.
