smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

Honestly, it baffles me. Whenever I see somebody get into a Falcon, they either crash or get shot down 10 seconds later. But whenever I get into a Falcon, the other team hides in a cave and just empty their DMRs on me. If they see me walking towards a Falcon, they tru their hardest to make sure that thing gets blown up. I've had my own team shoot me down because my gunners get so many kills. Look at this game:

15 assists, want to guess where that game from? Only reason I died was because some lucky sniper got a hit on me. The Falcon is my specialty. Which brings me to the point of this topic:

What is YOUR specialty vehicle? Which vehicle do you dominate with? And to add some more discussion value, which vehicle do you despise the most? Which one makes your skin crawl? You hand me a Falcon and a good gunner, I'll dominate the map. You hand me a Ghost, and I'll wreak some havoc. You give me a Wraith, and I'll destroy. Give me a Banshee, and I'll get a good few bombing runs in. I can recon the map with a Mongoose or provide a good distraction. But the Scorpion, I HATE the Scorpion.

I prefer driving the warthog.. 15 wheelmen is semi-impressive, but I've gotten 30+ with a good turret-er.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

The only hazard to falcons is the banshee, in my opinion (that is, if there are no scorpions or splasers, but those can kill anything).

A competent Falcon pilot will always beat a Banshee. Falcon's are a hazard for Banshee's, not the other way around.

Still... 40 kills in a row. No small accomplishment, even with a Banshee.

...Unless the Banshee gets the drop on the Falcon. Which is kind of what the Banshee is best used for: ambushes, not direct combat.

Obviously, this isn't to say the Banshee cannot be used for direct combat.

Now that I think about that, I agree. If the falcon driver has good gunmen, it's a challenge for the banshee, which I've experienced in Invasion on Spire.

Yes, but what if im flying the Banshee? Wouldn't that mean the Banshee is a hazard for the Falcon?

Yeah, if the Falcon pilot is an idiot.

lol maybe.
But if there's one thing i've learned, is that you never engage a Falcon head on with the Banshee. Most, if not all the time, the Falcon is always going to shoot you down first. You have to ambush the Falcon. Like you have hit it hard when the pilot's not paying attention. Just my 2 cents.

It's a banshee.. Honestly? Play with a full party on any map with a banshee, and an unfrig is kindof mediocre.

Try doing it as a random. Yea its easy to get kills in the banshee, but it takes skill to stay alive for that long.

  • 01.21.2012 1:58 PM PDT

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

I love the Falcon. Probably my...3rd fav vehicle. Pilot here.

  • 01.21.2012 1:59 PM PDT

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

If you get shot down in a falcon by a banshee....you do not deserve to fly it

Without full party, yes, it's decent. But I'm almost positive Junior Exec plays with a party. I've played against them.

Umm no. When I got those 20 unfriggs, I was playing as a random.

I'm not bashing.. This is more me letting go of some rage from earlier. Me and 7 thumbless warrant officers vs. a full party on spire one flag. Two people had unfrigs from banshees. I went +7 and only because I hid.
