Give me a break I haven't been on in a long time

This reminds me when I would have been your daddy, but the dog beat me over the fence.

I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death.

Yeah, I suck so much with the Banshee, I can kill with it, but I always destroy it from crashes and meaningless Banshee tricks.


I was playing some social yesterday, and two banshee's were fighting, and the enemy's banshee blew up, and it flew down and splattered another enemy.

I know, it's been done before, but seeing it in person was fun :)

Yeah, it's happened to me before, once when I shot down an approaching banshee with the missle pod the head flew right at me and splattered me into a fusion coil. It's awesome when you die like that.

Just recently I've been getting in the Banshee a lot more and I've been vetoing maps just cause they don't have the vehicle. I thought this thread was lost but now I found it again :) Thanks Fo, this stuff really does help!

Your sin, is my fuel_
Your life, is my watch_
Your error, is my victory_

Also if you have great team work, throw down a gravity lift in front of the opposing enemy, then the Banshee can swoop down for a splatter easily

Note Before Reading: This thread is very old and most of the videos are no longer working. I am in the process of placing them onto YouTube and will update the thread with new links as videos are placed.

The Banshee is a rare gem: a weapon/vehicle that is found only on a few maps in Halo 3. But when it is in the hands of a skilled operator, the Banshee can be a versatile, destructive, and game-altering tool that can literally turn a loss into a win. Its size, speed, and the instantaneous nature of its killing power gives the Banshee a devastating effect on the opposing team that is unmatched by any other weapon, even if other teammates are getting more kills than the Banshee using weapons like the sniper rifle or BR.

So essentially we should play keep away from AbusedGoat. Congratulations if you understood that last sentence.



Quite the thread Foman.

Nice thread and tips. I actually prefer hit and run attacks rather than splattering.

Go wort wort wort youself.

Recently I've been getting Valhalla a lot more in social slayer and I'm doing much better in the banshee, not only that but I'm having great fun too. Thanks for all the tips, even if I forget to use all of them, only had one banshee splatter recently i think, but I've really seen how the banshee can be used to kill snipers, in a recent game, a sniper kept on killing my teammate, he told me about it, I saw he was shooting from the pelican and so I took him out easily, I can't believe I didn't realise the banshees strength before.

Hm, I just realized that post.

Either I was too pissed at being shot down in the first place to notice your name, or I was too tired.

I truly don't have the time to read all that, but here's a tip.When you hear a beeping sound turn in the direction of you base or team and eject.The beeping sound means the enemy has a missile pod locked on you.
