The way I see boarding a banshee possible is if you have one of your own. Perhaps you jump out to grap the wing, rip the pilot out by the leg and grab the controls inside to close the hatch. Maybe the banshee loses flight control and plunges during the animation, and the possibiblity of you both dying are present.


I think it will almost be impossible for a Banshee to be boarded on multiplayer (unless the pc does somthing stupid), but on single player it might happen alot, remember when the banshee does a dive bomb for the MC, trying to crush him?

And if a player does somehow manage to get on a flying banshee you can do a barrel roll.

The Directional Pad can be used for Tricks in combination with the A button.

??? What does he mean by that ???


My good guess is that it coincides with the leaning feature. EGM's last november special issue said that leaning around corners was set to the D-pad. This could be a hint that leaning isn't out just yet. The A button is probably a quick switch for flight controls. Such as left control simply makes you twist left and pulling up or down (based on your looking pitch) makes you pull up or nose down.


I think I'm kind hoping they take out leaning, but I won't really mind, any way, about that A button... it sounds too silly for me, I like Banshee flying how it was before, I sorta hope they won't add that... but I'll have to wait and see.

According to the write up, done by one of the Mountain Dew contest winners, three burst shots in the head will kill someone. So it only makes sense that nine zoomed shots will kill someone.

I think it fires as fast as you can pull the trigger, however.

Cumbersome over silly.

We'll just have to wait and see for ourselves how it fires. Either way, I'm going to be using Mr.BR a lot.

Not necessarily... because to fire 8 shots unzoomed, you have to pull the trigger 3 times... and waste one bullet.

Im sure bungie will balance out the BR to fit our needs, and they can always update the game too. and new content also! woo hoo!

Guys you shouldnt worry about pistol n stuff so much. Remember what bungie said many many months back? "We didnt expect Halo 1's multiplayer to be such a sucess" they hadnt really 'configured' the pistol to be balanced against other humans playing. Now bungie is focusing a lot on multiplayer and will definatley balance out everything. Despite the flaws of Halo multiplayer we still loved it, now imagine a near flawless halo 2 multiplayer!!! kick@ss!!!

what do you guys think of being able to download single player levels off downloadable content like splinter cell? It probably wouldnt happen since everyone is so excited about multiplayer, but i think it would be cool to play that one new mombasa level at E3 2003 maybe, or maybe a level where you are just a regular marine fighting in a squad n stuff with cool scripted sequences! just a thought, what you guys think?

It's not like an individual string of shots. In a MP video the 3 shots come out in such a quick fassion that it feels like a single shot.

What kind of combos with A + Dpad can there be?

Lazy Link

That was an interesting read btw...

I'm realling looking forward to the Battle Rifle/Sniper Rifle Combonation now... and the fact that in that link it mentions that spawn killing possibly won't be a problem any more excites me even more =]

They could jack a banshee by falling onto it or because MC jumps alot higher as the banshee passes over where he is you just jump up and grab the wing. LOVE the pistol it was the perfect balance between power and ROF, accuracy and the ablity to hit things close range, plus the new magnums will be awesome, "BANG BANG haha your "

Don't get your hopes up, because nothing has technically be stated official by bungie. For all we know that source could be fake...
