If you're not here to bash Campaign Hero, then your opinion is void.

So I've been getting messages recently about my Banshee stats, and I would like to say that it does indeed take skill. How many times do you see someone get in a banshee and get an unfrig? Not often unless you play with good people. Also banshee is a pretty weak vehicle (armor wise). Just throwing that out there.

Flame on.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

A Banshee pilot is only as good as his teammates on the ground.

Love playing custom games?

Well come join Customs Evolved

We are group dedicated to playing custom games, map testing, game nights, etc. Anyone is welcomed to join, and we hope to have as much fun as possible!

It doesn't take skill to kill. It takes skill to stay alive.

I think I understand what you are saying, but that really isn't what I was trying to say. I just believe that the banshee gets hate because of its strength, but many do not look at its weak armor. Many pilots will be dead in mere minutes, but a good pilot will last a while.

Yes, but it's really not that difficult to be good in a Banshee. Once you get the fast backflip down then you're good to go. That's all you need to know.

Shoot, fast-flip, shoot, fast-flip, hide when shields are getting low. Repeat.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Using Elite Slayer as an example with a straight face? I hope not. Also, your team was stacked. It supports my theory.

ThankszsS.

Finally someone who agrees that the Banshee takes skill to use. I've gotten 20 unfrigs in the Banshee (Not trying to gloat) and you do not know how much hate mail I get after each game. People say stuff to me like "DERP YOU'RE A NOOB WHO ONLY USES VEHICLES", or "THE BANSHEE TAKES NO SKILL YOU F**KING TRYHARD". Like I said I would get this all the time.

  • 12.09.2011 7:20 PM PDT

Yes it does and if I knew how to use the damn thing I would have more than 4 kills with it but I suck with it like bad.

Not my Main, i don't play Reach MM on this account so don't judge tryhard pro's :)

If your playing by your self and you get the Unfrig's with the banshee then i might think that it takeks skill but if your playing with a full party then i dont see much skill there since your team mates are the one's taking out your biggest threats.

Your opinion is invalid.

I don't care what all the good banshee pilots say, that thing is hard as hell to drive. I almost always kill myself in it.

Unless the opposing team control spartan laser/tank/sniper. Mainly tank and sniper though, since laser has only 4 shots and has the fire rate of a sloth. Hence the team mate theory.

I agree it does take skill to survive in a banshee.However, I do not believe it takes much skill to get kills in a banshee anymore. Simply flipping and bombing can do large, permanent damage in a slayer game or any others for that matter.

It only takes skill to use a Banshee because the rest of your team is whoring the power weapons/tanks/etc to limit the other team to DMR'ing the Banshee down, which is countered by Banshee spam flipping and spam bombing.

Put simply, any 'tard can use a Banshee, but not all can use it as effectively as other players can (as Gamesager does), but it still is much easier to be good in a Banshee than it is to be good with any firearm available to ground units such as Spartans and Elites.
