Man, I hate people who kill other teammates for the Banshee. Seriously, if they just disabled the fuel rod cannon, it would be fair. But it has the fuel rod cannon, making it hard to kill on foot.

Get rid of the Banshee, not just the FRC. It lags the game.

Sometimes, when I'm playing Halo online the lag isn't too bad. But then some idiot gets in a Banshee and you notice right away it's lagging horribly. That always happened in the demo too.

I've said this many times before on forums and in the actual game. Should they take out the Banshee?
Lets look at the facts:
-Most people are almost impossable to kill in a banshee.
-Banshee's are highly cheap.
-Nobody likes people who get all their kills from banshees.

On the other hand:
-Banshees are the most fun weapon in the game.
-Without banshees, tanks would roam the land.
-Banshees are good for noobs who suck at snipers and evading snipers.

I always say that there are different types of kills: cheap kills, and honorable kills. In my oppinion, getting more than five kills in a row using the same method is cheap. If you want to avoid this, find a different way of killing people after five turns (unless you die). This makes everyone happy, including banshee haters. I would never kill ten in a row in a banshee (although I am more than capable of it). If you are a honorable player, you will not play cheap and kill everyone using the same weapons. It doesn't bother me when people do this, it only bothers me when I do it because I am taking away the fun for someone else.

In conclusion, it is not the banshees that are the problem; it is the cheapness of those who use them. Don't be a lazy Willard. Get out of the banshee and hop into the back seat of a warthog for a while. Then this will not be an issue. People in tanks are too powerful as well, should we remove them? No. The more resources in the game the better. Keep banshees and enjoy the game!

Heyyo,

tanks raoming the land? nope. They're only really good for 3 things: defence, and spawnkilling, and taking down banshees.

It's not hard to take down a tank anywho, just shoot at the actual guy inside there and end of tank. Tanks are a ton easier to take down than banshees. Banshees is next to impossible (online with elading) to smoke the actual guy inside from the sides, and challenging from the back. What usually I see happening in banshees is they stay far away and just shoot you with that godforsaken fuelrod twice.. pistols take more than 1 clip to take down a shee, and a shotty ain't good when they're just hovering far away. if that wasn't onnit I'd like it x2 more.

I think all heavy vechiles should be taken out the only ones that should saty is the gun turrent, ghost, and both warhogs. Tanks and Banshees should be out.

That wasn't a flame or rudeness at all.

Tanks, I agree, are pretty poor. They are for long range camping and spawnkilling/defense. Anyone who goes to the enemy base with it dies within a minute, I have never seen someone survive. They're just too slow and too big of a target.

the only realy cheap vehical in my opinion is the ghost. just the ease of which you can move left, right as well as foward and backword. to easy to run people over.
also, all other vehicals are easy to take out. i love it when a banshe driver crashes a few feet from me, as i unload a few dozen shotgun rounds into him. then he's like 'OMG!!! WTF!!!!' and stuff. same with hogs and shotguns, and i love beaing able to stand still on top of a base on bloodgultch, and perfectly sniping a driver from his tank with a headshot.....
unless the game is lagging like -blam-. then it's not so fun.

i don't think the shee should be removied yeah it's annoying bbut if you hate it that bad find the servers that don't have them... look for the little halo loop next to the server name, that usually means classic weapons and vehicles so you don't have the cheap cannon either....
