Does anyone else miss the intense dogfights with banshees from halo PC?
The banshee physics in the first halo were so much better than halo 2's. In halo 2 it was all just hover and shoot at eachother, or do a barrel roll. It lacked almost all of the H1 banshee's strategic elements, like the fuel rod cannon, and timing your attacking and elevation control. Battles on maps such as gyrophobia were so much fun, with the exception of murderous lag. I very much want to see the old banshees return

Halo 2 banshee was the best talk about dogfights

I don't think it's the banshees that have changed, but perhaps something in the gameplay itself.

That's what I am asking, make them fly differently than they do in halo 2.

-They did too change alot in the banshee's controls. They added an auto hover, added boost and rolls, removed the frg, totally changed how it fires, added strafing, and completely overhauled its whole conrol scheme.

One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

They spin and turn like that so they can avoid Rocket blasts.

I loved Halo: CE's Banshee's too, but Halo 2's had them like that for a reason.

They won't return.

The thing I hated about the old banshees is when you got into a tight spin,so you could never catch the other guy, and you both seemed to break off at the same time. >.<

That is why it was all about strategy. You couldn't just face someone and shoot til one of you died. You would have to break away and come back and time your shots perfectly. It was an art.

it might make it funner if they just go forward and forward faster, no hovering, that would make it so you will get mmore dog fights and not just hovering in front of each other floating to the side and shooting

lol

Which is exactly what I said, just lowered a few mental steps.
