I tried this post a few weeks ago and got no responses at all, so here i go again. It has been said that the boosting in the banshee works the same way as the ghost, by holding the left trigger. So how will this affect the secondary fire? Will the boost or sec. fire be assigned to a new button, or what do yall think?

The question has already been asked multiple times, the answer is, we don't know, go speculate, your guess is as good as ours.

The banshee has no boost, just because it is on one covie vehicles doesn't mean they all will have it. So far Bungie simply said that the ghost has boost, and that is all.

Edit: People aren't perfect... ignore what I said about the banshee not having boost... ><

It never directly said that the warthog had boost... well sorta, but perhaps they don't know what they are talking about : ) And I personally don't want boost on a warthog... why in the hell would they equip military all-terrain vehicles with NOS... plus I hate NOS. If a care needs NOS, then it is a crappy car.

EDIT: Can you show me where they confirmed the banshee boost?

The Banshee had a boost in the alpha test. Here is a pic. No one from the alpha has talked about the secondary fire of the banshee though.

Also this Game Informer article discusses it.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I never knew that they said it had boost.

Game Informer Issue 133 Page 47 second paragraph (special halo 2 issue)
"...and it was joined by drivable Ghosts and Banshees. Both of these airborne vehicles feature a new boost function: By holding down the left trigger, the engines flare and send you screaming across the level at unheard-of speeds."

the banshee DOES have boost and it IS or WAS assigned to the left trigger. Not to say it might not change, but as of then it was. Maybe the fire got a new button instead.

or maybe if you hold it it boosts and if you tap it it shoots secondary fire!

No, I can not confirm this, but I read that the banshee gives up secondary fire to keep it balanced. What other vehicle has two modes of fire? (Except the tank, but it can't fly anywhere.)

If you read GI, you'd be singing a different tune. They made it clear that the banshee has boost capabilities. There's even a screenshot on this site of one boosting!

it wouldnt bother me if they just killed the secondary fire completely because usually, i get a little overzealous and swoop in for my kills and when i use it... oh well banshees exploding are pretty.

Good question. Lots of Halo PCers claim the Banshee is too powerful. Maybe they'll just remove the FRG.

i like to believe that im as dedicated to this game/developer/website as you possibly can be and id like to know exactly where on this site you read that because i sure havent seen it. the second you supply proof that came from bungie themselves, be prepared for a big fat apology from me.

Yeah, just the horn. The hog's already fast enough, and you might lose control if you use NOS (which just doesn't feel at home in Halo). Imagine running into something on Zanzibar, and a guy with a rocket is right there. Yeah, the hog should be more about control in those kinds of maps. Oh, and all of these pics are right here on this site in the screenshots section of Halo2.
