Subject: Is the banshee overpowered?

Besides the banshee bomb's absolutely retarded area of affect, it is fairly balanced on all maps but Spire. Yet even there, it can be taken down with a hiding spot and a DMR.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

The Banshee's bomb AOE could be toned down a little bit, but taking one down doesn't take much effort. Team DMR solves the problem easily.

If anything it's underpowered.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Easy Fix for the Banshee, have flips drian its power, 2 or 3 flips and it needs to recharge.

This would till make the Banshee good, but if trying to Spawn Trap, with only 2 or 3 flips, it would have to retreat or it would easily be shot down br DMR fire.

Also make it alot easier to target with rockets, you could sit back and watch, and when it had done it 2 or 3 flips, you know you would get the kill, because it had no more flips left.

I think this is the easiest and best possible fix. If it can be done.

I wouldn't call it overpowered. With the right pilot, it can be a pain, but with a few decent players on your team, you can take it down with just DMRs fairly easily. People just need to realize that shooting vehicles with anything does damage. What happened was you went against a full team with randoms, and you got raped. That's what happens. That's what you should be pissed about.

Banshee is fine the way it is. Its literally a glass cannon. Has a hell of a bomb, but can easily be destroyed.


This. It doesn't take all that much to bring one down. They are very powerful though if the team isn't working together to bring it down. That's when they start raping and spawn trapping, because they aren't brought down right away. If a banshee is in the air, work as a team to bring it down quickly before it can be allowed to start doing some real damage.

My only issue is with the blast radius from the bomb. Or, I guess I'm fine with the blast radius. Just make it larger, visually. Like the wraith's blast.

Yes it is over powered. It doesn't bother me though.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

Where's the "no" option?
The banshee bomb is no worse than in any other Halo, in my opinion. The actual banshee is ridiculously weak and can be killed with little effort.

lmao

The Banshee is the weakest vehicle in the game. A mongoose can take more Sniper rounds than a Banshee.
You spawn with the weapon that destroys vehicles, use it.

Posted by: THOMSY99Yeah what a great idea, let's take away it's prime defense and make the Banshee an easy target for DMR's and Snipers.
