Subject: y banshee boarding would even out everthing

if u have ever played the pc halo online you would know that when people get into a banshee they do the diving crap and take out like 15 people in 5 minutes in halo 2 the boarding the banshee would make it easier not to get rammed by a banshee.

I think the way you will probally board the banshee is by jumping on the wing poping the hatch open pull the guy out by his feet and jump inside and to make it a little more fair the guy that your boarding still has controll of the bashee so he can land it or he can suicide mission into the enemys base so he takes the boarder with him. another way i think would make sense boarding is from the back because you just grab the guys foot and pull him out and then slide in. does any one else think that banshee boarding would make it a little fairer

Yeah I played it on my Mac; the banshee was way too powerful, crazy amount of spawn kills, etc. Then I would get it, get shot down, and not want to play anymore. heheh

You know how to fire a gun? Plus you can destroy the Banshee so that would even everything out without having to bored it. All you have to do is put a grenade on it, or shoot it in the wings so it can't fly anymore.

it already is evened out cause now they take vehicle damage, whenever someone does that, its almost always a noob, and most of the time they miss you and dive srtaight into the ground or drag across the top of your base in Blood Gulch and hit the other side. With vehicle damage they will blow up before they get ebough people.

You dont have plasma nades in the game that often unless you have unlimited grenades which is -blam!-. im guessing you have halo for xbox cause you dont really know what its like. they almost never use the Plasma Cannons and FRG unless its a banshee to banshee fight, all they do is nose dive straight into the ground, but with vehicle damage they cant do that without taking damage.

....Things can blow up now. Think about it. Why jack a banshee that will explode as soon as you get it off the ground. Plus Halo ce was horrible when people were whoring with banshees. Im glad they can blow up now :-)

"The way of the warrior is the path of shadow. The gift of the warrior is to percieve that which cannot be seen. The spirit of the warrior is to strike in a single moment. The destiny of the warrior is balance in all things. And when balance is lost... all that is left is the reckoning."

Being a person who likes to use the Banshee, It does seem a little strong compared to other vehicles. But someone said to just throw a plasma at it, rarely, rarely has it hit me, let alone kill me. We just jump out and then jump ina s it falls down.

I would like to be able too take the banshee down with two well placed shots:

If I can clip both wings with a BR round, then I want the banshee to not be able to turn, and come down to the ground. (Note, not destroying the banshee, but it's control surfaces...if it has any. This force the pilot to the ground.)
