"…especially since we've removed Banshee from CTF and Assault games on Ascension and Headlong. Why? Because griefers will surf the bomb to unreachable places anyway, just to be jackasses. "
This is a biiiiiig no no! Yes, people can be -blam!-s with it... But several of my friends and I love the Banshee... One of our favorate things to do is play CTF, Assault, and Team Slayer on the big maps... And more often than not, the Banshee plays a big part in it... Taking out the Banshee will seriously add another 'today we feel like sucking a -blam!-' item on the grand ol' list of tweeks and changes that I dont like...
Ya, its your game and you can do whatever the hell you want... I've kept my mouth shut on most issues, but X-ing the Banshee is by far the worst thing you've done to me. It was what I looked foreward too most about Halo PC, it was what I enjoyed relearning the most about Halo 2, and it is instraments of destruction to fight with/against...
Taking this out is just as odd and wrong as if you suddenly removed all sniper rifles and rocket launchers from the game claming that people where 'being -blam!-s with them'...
Ya, I dont play assention that much, but I do play Headlong all the time on the matchmaking and such... And taking the banshee away is just... its just WRONG!
This is... *sigh* I just feal (once again) betrayed by Bungie... Every time I learn to love some aspect of the game, it is raped, pillaged, and burned by Bungie...
And personally... I have not once seen anyone try to surf the Objective away on a Banshee... first off, its hard... secondly... I shoot them the -blam!- down... Besides... if people wana be -blam!- like that, just add another feedback option right under cheating... "This guy is being an -blam!-!" damn you! give me back my Banshee!
Nice post! I also love the Banshee, especially in Headlong. I've played a lot of assault and CTF, but haven't seen anyone use it to hide the bomb. I hate cheaters and would rather lose than play with cheaters, so I'm not going to complain too much about any updates that lessen cheating, but I'll definately miss the Banshee.
I really don't understand this at ALL. You take sudden death out, but you're taking the banshee away so they can't surf the bomb? Okay, so they still surf the bomb while sudden death is gone. Who suffers in this scenario? The surfers! So WTF was the point of that???
Also, I have played a LOT of games in the last 4 months. I mean a LOT. And I have yet to see someone surf the bomb. I'm not saying it isn't or can't be done. I'm saying it's not the norm, like the update would have me believe.
There are some serious parts of Headlong that are Banshee-access-only, like the top of the defense's base, that can't be utilized anymore. Want to throw some boxes down on the catwalks to help defend the base a little? Too bad, because the Banshee was the only way to get them down. There are quite a few other examples too. I wouldn't say that this is DESTROYING my game experience, per se, but it just seems like a move that was little more than -blam!- retarded. Without sudden death, the most you could "CHEAT" with the banshee would be to get on top of the level. But since that's the case with EVERY level that the banshee is on, I guess that means we should get rid of it on all maps, huh?
I guess it's kinda depressing, because normally Bungie gives damn good argument for what it does. This time it just seemed like "Well, there we go!"
I mean, I'd like to hear why in a 4 on 4 flag match on Burial Grounds, that there are two Wraiths.........in addition to the ghost and Spectre.......
