Very well done. Yes, the Banshee is much harder to effectively use than it looks.

personaly i dont use the banshee that much. but if i use it i always go for the distraction.
cause the banshee most time is the center of attention the people are targeting it wich make it easy for your team to make kills.

but he thanks for tips i try to get some kills now ^^

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.
No!!!!!!

NEVER eject from a Banshee! You are giving up the slowest-respawning and most valuable vehicle (except for a Gauss Hog) on the map because of a missile pod!?!?

The missile pod can be dodged 8 or 9 times out of 10 tries by an experienced Banshee pilot. "Ejecting" from a Banshee should never, ever, ever be an option unless you have a really good reason.

Ejecto presto. :D



Great post though Foman. I'll try using the banshee more, and executing some of those tips.

Here's something I may have missed: Is there any particular way to determine where a missile pod is coming from? I've noted a lot that when I fly, it's either right in front of me... or I'll automatically assume it's directly behind me. But I like to roll to dodge the missiles when I think they're getting close, and whenever I pick the wrong side... eh.

I hate banshees, honestly. I suck with them and die immediatly if I enter one. At the same time, there is nothing that annoys me more than an enemy banshee on the sky.
I have more Plasma Pistol kills than banshee kills. >.>

Somebody showed me the Scarab Gun in Halo 2 once.
I was like WHOA DUDE, WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA
Then I sorta blanked out in a red haze and when I came to, everyone was dead.

I think the only way you can tell is if you see them coming...Or get blown to smithereens by them.

If you cannot see the missiles, then the better option is to dive for cover and wait for the beeping to end. Be sure to keep some situational awareness so you generally know where the missile pods are coming from, which will give you a good idea of where to go for cover.

Waiting until you hear the whoosing sound of the missile pods to do a roll is a bit unreliable. Climbing for altitude can buy you some time, but you're still going to have to time a roll at just the right moment. The best and safest option when you can't see the missiles is always to stay low and fast, and dive behind cover ASAP.

I've given up the banshee

Donte Stallworth could probably drive the banshee drunk better than me.

You gotta practice mayne. You'll be the next spade.

Iv basically never been killed by a missile pod;) The secret to dodging them is to just fly around in a basic circle, not sure how to explain it but boost every couple of seconds, so well...yeah id say its more of a hexagon shape. But then the missiles just follow you around and eventually explode:D

Hi, I am also an avid banshee user, and I try to avoid splattering because I don't like the risk of being jacked, unlike yourself. I also noticed that you seems to prefer the plasma cannons over the fuel rod bomb, is there a reason for this. I have to admit, they are more reliable, but a well placed bomb will nuke any enemy. I prefer the bomb, since Halo 1, I love watching my enemy explode, and I think that the instant kill explosion is more morale decreasing. What is your suggesstion on weapon use?

NEVER NEVER NEEVVVEERRR DO BROLLS you could usew that that time to boost behind a base quickly, and also i keep an eye out bcuzzz im not good at halo but i know the EXACT moment something respawns like the splaser per say? ;) and if your on the team at the waterfall base u can pretty much say, "lazer for us plawkz" becuase that team just man cannons and they are there, for the other team there is still an incline they have to go up so yeah as soon as it runs out of ammo i check that little timer :) cuz it has like a 150second respawn so in 2minutes i rush the enemy team on the hill leaving the lazer wide open :) hope this helped someone

fuel rod 1hit is only morale decreasing if your aim is likes Spot on becuase then they'd be liek," omfg he hit me witha bomb across teh map we are royally screwed guys!" and i also know when their banshee spawns so i fire a bomb like 3seconds before it does so as soon as it spawns BAM no more banshee for you noobs and i ALWAYS have a P-Pistol incase of skyjackers so i can immediatly take it out of the sky :)))

Yes but if the banshee is extremely damaged just eject in plain site near a hiding spot so when someone is like, "omg free banshee, time to own these noob" just stick it as they are hopping in easy Bait N' Kill :)

ive found the best defence for missle pod attack on sandtrap is to fly around either of the two spires... the missles collied with the wall and you survive... only downside is you are then a prime target an have to stay high for a long time.

As in iSpade? He's good, but he is not the best. ManiwithCowX is by far the best, for both ranked and social.

Ah, someone leaked. Now to find the leak and.... plug it.
With justice.

I use coup 5
Never Played halo 1 = Invalid opinion
Bloom isn't whats broken, its your idea of what good is and your opinion
Thats like saying uber nerf armor lock because like 20 percent of the community hates it. Oh wait..................

From my experience never underestimate the amount of damage a few foot soulders can do if they are focusing on you with BR's.
also the worst thing you can do is try to splater someone who is close to something like a rock. you can seriously damage the banshee.

Shut the hell up, Halo is my world

I fail like Magic Johnson's condoms in the banshee.

I don't know what it is. I think it has something to do with me playing BJ and constantly forgetting the BJ banshee controlls.

I think that when you get jacked, you should try to crash into something fast=boosting. This can break the banshee and prevent enemy getting hands on this flying piece of Doom. Right?
