Wouldn't you love to be able to fly STRAIGHT upwards and downwards. In halo 3 the banshee goes at like a 45 degree angle max. Maybe they could also make the backwards boost a half loop backwards (u-turn) rather than the little flip thing you do now. Also, would it be full purple or purple and green? Any other suggestions?

Halo isn't Starfox.

(As usual, joking, but I like saying things like that.)

I like the purple green armor of the banshee in Halo 3.

And I don't see why you would want to fly straight up or straight down.

Halo should learn from starfox!

Seriously though, there isn't a reason not to be able to fly stright up and straight down.

It has to be FAST not that slow banshees are fast as hell but when on an attack run it has to stop boosting

Seriously? I want to go slow while I'm on an attack run, that way I have more time to shoot my opponents before I get at a poor angle to attack them.

Besides, it would be way too unbalanced if you could boost around on the ground splattering people while firing your main cannon and your plasmas.

I agree that it would be over powered.

Barrel Roll?

Seriously though, there isn't a reason not to be able to fly stright up and straight down.

Other than the fact that you have absolutely no reason to fly straight down because you would plow into the ground and if you could fly straight up you would be able to "turn around" much faster than if you had to do a slow turn, you would fly up, roll, then come back down again, and that would be rather cheap.

What was wrong with the banshee from ODST, in my opinion it worked perfectly, you could hover, fly down and up and do loop the loops and shoot people, what more do you want?
