Subject: Does the Banshee actually require skill to use?

"You are who you dare"

You owe it to yourself to get out and be someone. Get to work!

-Leader of The Citadel

It takes very little skill.

The credit goes to the team for securing all weapons capable of taking it down and keeping the enemy busy enough to not focus DMR fire onto the vehicle.

Don't lecture me boys.

However, if both teams know what they are doing, and weapon control is split even, then flying a Banshee takes a large understanding of how the map works, where to avoid, and how long you should spend in each attack run.

Seeing I have like 4 kills with it I would say yes it does take skill. I can't use that thing to save my life.

  • 01.12.2012 1:55 PM PDT

Yes.



H3 Banshee takes more skill when compared to Reach's.

It takes skill to stay alive in it for long periods of time and actually be useful to your team, but it takes very little to kill people.

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

It's more knowledge than actual skill. Once you get the fast black-flip down and you know when to take cover it's not difficult to use.

This. I used the banshee a lot in H3 and there was a much bigger difference between someone who was good and someone who sucked. The ones who sucked usually got sky-jacked, power drained, and missile podded very easily.

hmmm, touche Cruckeyee. Falcon beats all.

Yes, it does take skill.

That's why players like Krusty Pigeon and Gamesager can get over a hundred kills a game while most people would struggle to get 20.

How to use the Banshee: By Leon Kennedy85

bomb flip bomb flip bomb flip bomb flip bomb flip bomb flip bomb flip bomb flip bomb flip bomb flip bomb flip bomb flip

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


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.

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


THEN YOU DESERVE TO GET SPAWN R.APED.

Christ, how much do you need handed to you in a game?

  • 01.12.2012 2:26 PM PDT

Stop arguing over imaginary -blam!-. May as well argue over Santa Claus. There will never be proof that there is/was a god - and before people start saying "HERP DERP PROVE THERE WASN'T ONE ROFLOLOL" well, you are the people who made it up in the first place so we know there isn't one
What created the big bang then? A coalition of genetically modified TR-909s with extra distortion?

It requires common sense.

1 vs how ever many banshees are allowed banshee fight. let me prove it to you.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

I just like how the kid on the first page had this whole idea that getting an Unfrig was super-easy, and yet he has none.

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.


Learn to snipe and you'll be able to kill it fairly easy.

I was in this Invasion game on spire and this guy in a banshee just kept on spawn killing me and my teammates and all we could do is just run and hope for the best.

not really, people who usually get 30+ kills in the thing usually are up against people who dont shoot the damn thing.

Even against retards I struggle to stay alive in that thing. How do people flip so much and still shoot accurately?

Shoot the Fuel rod a fraction of a second after activating the flip and it goes much faster to its target.

Don't you know that already?
Lots of people dont know this. Gamesager told me that a few months ago and it made me loads better in the banshee. Im pretty good in it now. Every time I get in one I get at least a Frenzy.

  • 01.12.2012 3:13 PM PDT

Using a banshee takes alot of skill when you are constantly being shot at, in my opinion. Using a hit and run tactic helps me a lot.

  • 01.12.2012 3:31 PM PDT

To get in it and kill -blam!-es no.
To get in and manage to survive the whole game yes.

I always go kill the sniper.
When I go after the tank I take one bomb shot from behind, come back and do it again until it dies.

  • 01.12.2012 3:40 PM PDT

You want a sandwich? Sure. As long as you don't mind me putting poison in it.

Yeah. I use the AR, so what? All you can do is scream and rage about me using the weapon.

I believe it takes some skill to an extent.
