I recently made a poll like this about hunters, so I figured, why not a few other things too?

Halo:Combat Evolved- No boost but fastest regular speed. Fast fuel rod with big arch. Makes a loud terrifying sound when flying. Has the ability to slowly fly backwards. No tricks.

Halo 2-Slower regular speed than in Halo 1 but speeds up with boost. Fast fuel rod with a slightly smaller arch. Fuel rod disabled in multiplayer. Can slow down to almost a standstill before descending. Smooth fluid tricks.

Halo 3-Max speed similar to in Halo 2, but cannot slow down very well. Slow fuel rod with small arch. Fuel rod enabled in multiplayer. Smooth fluid tricks.

Halo 3:ODST-Works like a combination of the Halo 3 and Halo 2 banshees. Halo 3 weapons and tricks. Halo 2 speed.

Halo:Reach-Different look from rest of series. Slow fuel rod with almost no arch. Button has to be pressed to switch between plasma cannons and fuel rod. Fuel rod has massive blast radius and can lock on to vehicles. Rapid awkward tricks.

Halo Wars-Covenant standard aircraft. Costs 200 supplies to make and I believe 2 population. Effective against most vehicles. Weaknesses include vampires, wolverines, and standard infantry.

The one in Halo Reach had the best maneuverability, it was quick and nimble, it just took a little to get used to. Before, when you tried to do tricks or w/e, you would be doing it for like 3 seconds, almost not even worth bothering to do.

The Reach one was so powerful. It's only weakness was the vehicle health system of Reach. Other than that it is the greatest, unless you were on the ground.

I agree, the vehicle health system in Reach was ridiculous, I mean, killing a tank with like 10 rounds from the sniper. Really? It did kind of even out the power of vehicles and checked them a bit, the health was still way too low though.

Halo 3 and ODST. The ODST one was cool because it could stop and not lose altitude.

  • 07.15.2011 8:52 PM PDT

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

ODST was great. It had a neutral so you didn't have to lose altitude. It was awesome.

This one. It looked the best visually. I don't know what the hell Bungie was thinking when they radically altered the Banshee's appearance (Perhaps the Reach banshee is a variant? Heavy Banshee maybe?)


It makes sense if you think of how vast the covenant navy was. The different fleets having diffrent units, munitions, vehicles, and ships makes sense.

The Fleet of Particular Justice hit reach knowing it was a heavily defended human world. They could've had a better banshee variant or just had better resources to build their banshees.

I like the Reach banshees, especially the Type 27 XMF banshees you see in the level Long Night of Solace.

Scandinavian Master Race!

Halo CE because of the sound.

ODST.


Agreed. I liked that when it was idle, it flew extremely slow, almost like it was hovering, but it was still fast when you were boosting.

The cold ghost has come, the sorrow forgotten will be remembered...

Reach....due to the complicated matter of the controlls only good or foolish piolets get in them, making the battlefield safer from idiots trying to run you over with aircraft...

I know! Everyone seems to forget them :(

Halo 3 because they're not over powered, but they are effective when someone with skill uses them.

  • 07.16.2011 9:51 AM PDT

I'm not sure what you're looking for.

"Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing" -- Proverbs 12:18

Halo 1.

Sounds the best and the highest skill gap. You couldn't spam flips like in Reach. In multiplayer you focused on tactics, not spamming flips.

  • 07.16.2011 11:26 AM PDT

Halo Wars. Same sound, good speed, good firepower, but the thing that put it at the top for me is the fact that they can suicide onto enemy units causing large damage at death.

We got to in Kikowani Station, infact the entire mission was based on flying a banshee. :P

Reach banshee, with odst's and halo ce's versions in second place.

  • 07.16.2011 1:33 PM PDT

The Halo 3 Banshee was very balanced. It had a decent amount of health and firepower, but wasn't overpowered in either department. The Reach Banshee is way too powerful firepower wise. Honestly I'd like to see the ODST banshee apear in matchmaking.

Halo 2 as it was actually balanced for MP.

But what ever happened to the awesome sound it used to make in CE?
