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.
I kinda find your post too be invalid because DMR shots go though a Banshees' hull like butter and it's extremely hard to counter

Invalid (in it's entirety? What?) yet Gamesager does perfectly fine? Haha, you're funny.

Can I have a pursuit warthog? (red&blue flashing lights, siren, black and white paint job, gull-wing doors, no turret but a truckbed cap where the turret assembly should be, and the ability to arrest players :)

A police falcon would be great as well... (Black&white paint job, flashing red & blue lights on the wing struts and tail, no turrets and doors that open and close similar to the republic gunships in Star Wars. Kick... Ass.)

Police pelican would be cool too!!!

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

This actually applies more to the falcon rather than a banshee.

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

I didn't, that's why I was laughing.

the only skill a banshee takes is the skill it takes away from the player (ab-)using it.

  • 12.09.2011 10:41 PM PDT

It does take skill, just much less skill than all other vehicles because it dodges everything and has fuel rods.

Banshee is underpowered health wise and resistance wise. It takes skill to stay alive in it for more than 5 minutes when a team or vehicle targets it.

It's one weapon, the fuel rod is overpowered, and as such takes no skill whatsoever. Point at them and shoot, anything in a 10ft radius is dead.

If the other team don't want you get a unfrigg, you can't

With a simple connection, almost, if not all serious Halo players are now considered dumb.

It applies to most vehicles in Reach considering the change to the health system from Halo 3. Without good ground support vehicles are asking to get blown up in my experience.
Even a Scorpion tank isn't capable of staying alive for long if it's attacked from multiple angles due to a lack of support, and I kind of like that aspect of Reach. I do however wish the Warthog and Ghost were just a little bit less fragile.

It doesn't take skill to kill. It takes skill to stay alive.
Ya that's mostly it.

Coming from a guy who played H2 vista for two years, it isn't really that hard to get the hang of. Most games I play my banshee takes me +30.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

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.


I'm much much worse


Can't be much worse then me. Walls are my biggest enemy in that thing.

i do agree with you there, anyone can get 25 kills in a game BTB, but it only takes one tank or laser shot to bring it all down

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.
almost 200 of my unfrigs are searching solo.
