Banshee is only overpowered against retards.

Vehicles are your crutch, this is why in playlists without your vehicles your KD plummets. This just goes to show how the banshee needs a nerf. Vehicles are too overpowered now, I remember the old days where the banshee didnt have a banshee bomb; bet it wasn't your top weapon back then?

The banshee bomb was in H3 matchmaking.


I stand corrected, so howcome it worked in the halo 3 yet does not in halo reach?
The banshee in H3 was better for splattering. You didn't need the banshee bomb.

Missle pods my good sir even a retard could shoot them. Now they are making you work for your power weapons.


hmmm...do you really think jumping into a banshee and banshee bombing everyone with no real worry of death is skillful? I didn't have a problem dealing with banshees in old halo installments, but now I do.......which suggests something is wrong as I am not the only one.

There was nothing wrong with the old banshee, IMO the reach banshee ruins big team. By no means should anyone have the banshee bomb as a TOD....and lets face it, with one spartan laser to fight over in most maps there really is no point in playing big team.

And team shooting is great until you have an entire team of vehicles to compete against with nothing but a mongoose and a ghost.....

Nerf it? Hell no. Remove the extreme weapon damage to it and learn to team shoot. This game caters to retards like you enough already.

I just want to reiterate that I was talking about reach here and there are no heavy vehicles in slayer, thus leaving a high KD down to good play rather then sniping from the rocks invisible whilst your team mops up with a wraith.

My KD has always been higher in slayer because big team is all about the guys sitting back and shooting from afar...less deaths = higher KD. I prefer to go against and enemy head-on.

Im sure this isnt the case ALL the time, but a large part of big team IMO is:
weapon abuse, lag, running forwards then dying, banshee bummers, snipers who hide in rocks and pick off kills.

To nerf something is to make it weaker.

So you dont want a nerfing you just want the weapon damage to be...weaker...?!?!

retard is such a strong word

Why is hypocrite spelled with an E at the end?
The I in crite is not pronounce as eye.

So, on the one hand I spell it out exactly as it should be.
You follow the standard set before you by fools who can't even get a handle on the rules of their own language.

Why is it so hard to look up and shoot a big -blam!- purple thing?

It dies in 44 shots, people.

The AOE on the banshee bomb is way too large. The banshee is just ridiculously powerful. Make the AOE smaller, remove the homing in on vehicles and it would be fairer.

The vast majority of games played online are played where no one knows each other so there is little or no teamwork involved. I cannot learn to team DMR, my team would have to learn to.

So essentially, people saying "learn to team DMR" are admitting that the game dynamics (with a banshee on the map) when there are no teams who work together are broken. This is a big problem as in most games there is no team work. Just join MM alone. See the lack of team work and communication. Barely anyone ever speaks.

"The banshee isn't overpowered because if you get your entire team together and simultaneously attack it, you might be able to defeat it." <- This is not a good argument. It doesn't make for a competitive game where it takes an entire team to kill one guy who was lucky enough to get the banshee first.

Dont be shy...
Im sorry for my coup changes but Im new at this.

yes, the banshee is for noobs

The Banshee is fine.
People just need to adapt.

Knowing where the power weapons are helps too.

The only time its overpowered is when the person flying it does the backflip trick over and over, and its laggy. And you're playing as a random. And a scrub took the sniper/power weapons.

I wouldn't miss it if it was nerfed, but its not OP.

Banshee needs a complete re-balance(I'm thinking H3). Until it gets that, it needs to be removed.

The only people who complain about weapons the likes of Banshee are those who get owned by them, and I don't have an issue with the Banshee.

The Banshee is fine. It is harder to take down in Halo: Reach because it is faster and there aren't missile pods as aids, like in H3. In actuality, the banshee is too weak. It goes down way too fast when team shot by DMRs or snipers. The AOE of the bomb is fine as it is comparable to the wraith bomb. Remember, the banshee is a power weapon, like the scorpion and wraith. I don't hear people complaining about the wraith or rockets. Realize and exploit the potential that the banshee provides.

  • 11.09.2011 11:42 AM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Buff it's bullet resistance, being taken down by DMR fire is an embarassment to the Covies.

My K/D with it 4.10. It needs to be rebalanced or removed.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Posted by: Sentox6
Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

I think it takes 44 DMR shots to destroy a banshee(I know it's in the 40s, but feel free to correct me if you know the exact number). That's about 3 clips of DMR.

~ Videogames are my favorite videogames ~

Reduce damage of fuel rod bombs against on foot targets (Vehicle damage stays the same).
Increase damage of plasma cannons against foot targets. Or keep same since it's still fairly deadly.
Make banshee tricks use up energy.

Bam, something more balanced than what we currently got at least.

I like OP's idea here a lot, since the bomb won't be as good against little spartans while still being useful for cracking open armored vehicles.
Makes sense to me.
