i dont like the fact that banshees are stupidly slow
they are alien fighter planes

fighter=fast
alien=better
fighter+alien=fast

but seriously dog fights arent realy "epic enough"

edit:
oh although a banshee would be harder to hit it would also be harder to hit with since it will probably encourage people into a hit and run tactic on ground units

plus the unsc probably has tracking rockets, to balance make different types of rockets/anti air stuff

just to get this straight im not a banshee whore,warthog everytime :) but alien fighter planes dont look so cool at 5mph

if it was faster it would take more skill

im aware of boosting but the only thing that works for is when you are escaping the 50 brs/army of rockers/that little red line that people dont like pointed at them, but you cant do anything besides that while boosting

ya and a hornet can easily take out a banshee... even 2 if ur good yes banshees need to be way faster... all I have to do is start using chain gun on hornet and fire missles... banshee dead

What you think is irrelivent. That's a really bad idea btw...do u even realize the banshee has thrusters? If anything the Hornet needs to be faster IN MY OPINION.

  • 11.20.2009 12:31 PM PDT

no because then they would be to hard for ground units to hit. it would also make it easier then it already is to get splatters with the banshee.

bungie just needs to emphasize that the banshee is the fighter jet/bomber of the halo universe and that the hornet is the fast attack helicopter.

you should actually be able to fly the the banshee upside down or side ways.

lol boost is useless in a banshee if anything the banshee is good for a get away vehicle and thats it... but by the time they can get away they are dead.... now if the banshee could disrupt homing missiles while boosting then maybe... that or remove homing from hornet... ya remove missiles from hornet... problem solved

SO basically you are a banshee whore and tired of getting rocked by laser, missile pod etc? Take a seat the banshee does not need to be faster.

Why are you reading my signature? Who actually opens these things and reads them!

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

Bungie just needs to remove the Banshee's inability to rotate. You could dodge rockets so much easy if you could fall and turn, that would give the banshee an extra edge in a dog fight too, since it would counter the Hornets relative slowness.

It doesn't really make any sense that the Banshee can't turn upside down, it floats but it is stuck upright by some invisible force.

your an idiot, they are already 10 times faster than a mongoose and can dodge missiles, and on top of that they have a plasma cannon and a fuel rod on it, WHAT ELSE DO THEY NEED?!

How about instead of a banshee going faster all the time, why not a banshee going faster when missle pods are chasing it? Like a backup generator that activates when your being chased by heat seakers. But it might screw up gameplay aspects because it's already hard enough to turn a banshee when your boosting.

the hornet is a helicopter type vehicle.its speed is fine.banshees are alien fighter jets.they need to be faster,or have better mobility and shooting when boosting

The banchee has been tweaked but apperantly not tweaked enough. It needs to be faster along with more mobility control. The hornet is suppost to be a highly armord attack helocopter. The only perk that the hornet is it needs a stronger glass on the cotpit. It is way too easy to take out somone with a snipe. The banchee needs to have more boost and needs to have 35% more armor. There is not a single advantage that the banchee holds over the hornet. The hornet holds three people which can carry a heavy wepon like a spartan laser thus making it a killing machine, it is also VERY mobal and can strafe side to side, making banchees way too easy to kill.

What we need is the banchee to be stronger, faster, and way more mobile. The covenet needs anouther flying vihical and so do the humans. The game would be so much fun if we could experiance a new level of airial combat. There is a few ground vihicals and two flying vihicals that we can partisipate in. We need to use the pellican and a new small vihical, the phantom would be easly used in multiplayer games because of the turrets. My idea on anouther post is that we need a plasma flak cannon. The cannon would fire many large plasma fragments. this would not replace any or the guns because it is innaccurate like a shotgun. the problem that bungie has with pellicans and phantoms on multiplayer games is that they are too hard to take out. But if we added a few more vehicals alonge with my iea with the flak cannon it would work out fine

Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

What I would suggest is that the Banshee has a dramatically improved cannon, one that could kill a warthog within 5 seconds, but amp up the speed ALOT and remove the ability to hover or sink in the air. Fuel rod should also be removed.

It would make the Banshee more of a strike fighter, instead of a hunk of flying -blam!-.

thats the idea- but the fuelrod makes it more of a bomber which i like

also even tho halo wars attacked halo i like it how in the cutseen the banshees had lights (Lolz)

  • 11.20.2009 2:44 PM PDT

let me make this clear YOUR GEUSS IS AS GOOD AS MINE.basically you might think my guess its dump but i might think yours is dump but your chance of getting it right is the same as anybody else unless you know what happens

This isn't a flight simulator. You wanna flight simulator get either "Flightgear" or "X-Plane." Are both free. Use LT! Do Banshee tricks! Jesus don't you already know this! You might as well rename your account "XXXretardwithweedl337XXX." Good day.

Banshees are way too overpowered so as it is. If your team controls the laser, you can't be killed unless you absolutely suck.

impossible is just a word

No improved cannon
No improved speed
Yes Improved strafing and mobility

Now the banshee is fast enough and if you press and hold the a button whilst in flight the banshee drops drastically
The banshee is no fighter thats the Seraph the banshee is a light anti-infantry and recognizance craft yes it does need to be able to tackle the hornet better but still im sure (or at least hope) that there are more aircraft in reach which may balance out this problem with a covenant hornet and UNSC Banshee (please for the love of god dont say but the banshee is the covenant hornet because i mean
exactly the same so it hovers carry's troop and so on

  • 11.20.2009 3:23 PM PDT

the smghas to be in reach, it just has to.

Oh ya, banshees need to be waaay faster, I mean, humanity is suposed to be facing of against a faaaar superiour race, the lest they could have is a faster arial assault viecle
