Kinda curious...

It does take a certain amount of skill to effectively use it for elongated periods of time.

Not every one can get in a banshee and get an Unfrig.

I think I managed to rack up an Untouchable today, but that's against idiots. And I thought getting Killtacs and above was easy, but damn...

This. As much as people think it's super easy to use it's really not as easy as you think, some people will get into the banshee and die within 2-5 kills while another player same game vs the same team can get 30+ kills with it.

That being said it doesn't take a great amount of skill to use but it takes skill to get big sprees and a lot of kills, unless you're spawn killing which doesn't take a lot of skill.

want to see if I can train my dog to fly a banshee. I will stick my controller in his mouth so that when he bites down he pushes the bomb and flip buttons. I will have someone scream "Yee-Haw" every time I see an enemy, making him bite down, and rack up the kills. In order to steer I will have two ropes tied to the thumb sticks and I will have them coming back like reigns on a horse. I will put a saddle on the back of my dog so that my two-year-old nephew can ride him around the living room like a pony while utterly dominating the other team. Once I am done with that I will teach them both not to pee on my bed.

Prepare to be owned.

Edit: he is three now, he might be getting too big. Maybe I can throw my 4 month old on the top and switch the channel to play barney. He can clap along and get all excited causing steering to happen while the dog bears down on the controller out of hate for barney. Good dog.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

Seeing as how it has unlimited dodge, a fast reloading rocket launcher, and a long lasting boost capability, I would say no. As long as you can keep track of power weapons aimed your way, you won't die.

Which is why I hate the banshee.

It takes only 44 DMR shots to destroy the banshee.

just keep doing that Johny and you'll get yourself an unfrig in no time at all! It's got a nuclear bomb and unlimited flip. And if you get shot at just boost away to safety, regain your shields, and bomb flip bomb flip bomb flip bomb flip bomb flip

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

there is an art to banshee flying

  • 01.12.2012 10:54 AM PDT

Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for.

It varies, If your playing against in-experienced players it doesn't take much skill, Although if your playing against experienced players it does some skill.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

I'd say the Banshee has the lowest skill requirement out of all Reach vehicles, but it does require some amount of skill to be effective with it.

How to blow up the Banshee: By burchie

1. Grab sniper
2. Shoot it 4 times at the most (depending on how much it has been damaged).

Damn, that was difficult.

No it really does not.
Yes it does. If you are in the banshee and get killed not 3 seconds into use, you suck at using the banshee.

Warthog unfrigg > Banshee unfrigg

no, if the hog driver is decent then I would put them on almost the same level. The banshee has mobility, but the hog is a lot tougher. A banshee is a flying ghost with a bomb.

here, I will order them from easiest to hardest IMO

Scorpion
Ghost
Revy
Hog & Banshee
Wraith
mongoose

Hard to get a sniper when you keep getting spawn killed.

You're learning a lot today, aren't you?
