It's for Banshee too. Not that Banshee needs it, but OH WELL, the cheapest vehicle in the game can BOOST.

yes i read in a fourm in game informer that the left trigger could accelerate both the ghost and banshee. By doing that it doubles your top speed.

How will you fire the Banshee's feul rod gun then?

Nope just Ghost and Banshe. I don't think the Shadow, Phantom, Creep, or Seraph would need it.

I hate those damn purple mobiles. I hope plasma doesn't stun you in Halo 2.

I heard the Banshee lost its Fuel Rod Cannon, for balancing reasons...

I don't see why the shadow wouldn't need one. But all of the other vehicles probably don't. But, on the other hand I also thought that the Banshee wouldn't need it before they said it.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

From a German magazine.

[color="pink"]Banshee - The Banshee can do "Loopings" and it can spin around if you hold down A + Directional Buttons. A Banshee can be boarded while it is flying.

And don't think that the Banshee will be cheap this time. Then enemy can't just fly off refill their shields and return. The Banshee takes damage and will eventuall explode. Also remember that the rocket can track them. Hence the new moves so that experienced players can avoid them.

Well if this game is realistic to a real war thenn the banshee will be pointless just imagine that slow aircraft against an F-18 no competition the F would run circles at mach 3 while the banshee hovers at 350km/h

You do realize that F-18's don't get into dogfights at Mach 3 or Mach anything for that matter. They have to slow down.

F18s cannot reach Mach 3, nor can they do circles at their top speed. The turning radii of any anycraft increases with it's speed. Banshees cannot "hover" at 350km/h, nor can they fly at that speed.

Halo is not meant to be realistic. It's meant to be fun.

but....but you cant manuever all that well at mach 3 . trying to do a loop at that speed could snap the wings like a twig....beside if the shee evr get chased it can stop in mid flight make the Fighter pass it, then tear a hole in its backside

Yea how will the banshee fire its fuel rod gun. I hope they haven't taken it out, the plasma cannons are too weak to be its only weapon, also bungie needs to worry more about keeping to the Halo universe and not as much about balancing.

The F18 has missiles, so it doesn't even have to get close to the banshee to destroy it. So speed and turning ability don't even apply to the situation. Modern military aircraft are many times more advanced than the banshee.

The banshee can operate in space, however.

yes they are in terms of speed, armerment, but u have to remember the banshee wasn't supposed to be thwir equivelent, it is just a light recon vehicle. The covie need to have some kind of equivelent to the skyhawk (i think thats the name).
