Scince L is to boost your vehicle how is that going to be implemented with the banshee? Scince L is to fire the fuel rod gun, what will boost be?

There's an MP screenshot showing the Banshee boosting.

I also don't see a reason you can't press Y to switch weapons in a banshee. It's intuitive with the rest of the UI system.

If it is only the ghost that will be able to "boost", will the ATV be able to? Since it will be the human "equivelent"?

And if so, I think the ATV should have a pouch that has a SMG in it so that you can do drive-by's and the likes.

P.S. It'd be a bit hard to do one with a sniper rifle.

I need a weapon.

i dont think the banshee will have the FRG, it made it too unbalanced, especially in MP on the PC

Well, it shouldn't be too bad now provided you have someone with a rocket launcher. One shot from that and the Banshee will be forced to dodge... and while that's happening the others can come out from under cover and blast it with Battle Rifles.

If they take out the FRG off the banshee,they better replace it with something better.(i don't think there's any other covenant gun more balanced for the banshee with "L" thna the FRG),the boosting will probably be holding down either analog sticks..orby pressing x/b/y/or A.

What kind of cover would they be using? A boulder? Or some kind of tree?

I don't think they could "pop out and "blast" it" with battle rifles.

Why do you need to "boost" anyway?

The banshee will not have the FRC (or FRG) at all. It trades that for boosting. (Which sort of stinks, but I haven't tried boosting yet...flying faster might be more fun anyway.)

One thing that really depressed me in Halo1 was a total lack of cover. Every corridor was at least ten feet wide and the open area maps were really really OPEN! Halo2 is going to have much more cover according to Frankie and the like. You'll need it to avoid getting run down by vehicles every two seconds.

I have a feeling taht teh banshee will jus shoot faster liek the ghost, plus the FRG did unbalance things out when you would jus be looking at a banshee and either get ran over by it or getting fuelrodded. Bungie should make it also if you crash into somethign solid real fast that the banshee loses life.

Anyways I really want to jus take teh FRG away form hunters or grunts and use it, I dont need a banshee to kill, just give me my team, a shotgun and 2 of each nade and Ill be fine :)

Vehicles do take damage from high impact crashes now! That's the beauty of it.
