RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

A good Falcon pilot can easily avoid banshee bombs while giving his gunners good firing angles.

You probably let it get right next to you by being unaware.

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

My specialty is the gauss turret.

Mine is a Falcon/Banshee...I just hate the gunners who have aim akin to that of henchman from Bond movies

warthog or falcon

Falcon and Banshee.

Not so good with the Banshee, but I am decent with the Falcon.

It helps that I prefer to be an airman.

Banshee bombs arent the only things that banshee pilots use. They use the guns to which have quite a bit of power. Im a good pilot but I almost never have good gunners but when I do i destroy and that includes banshees. I was just stating that sometimes if you are in a falcon and against a really good banshhe pilot and have terrible gunners.....than your screwed


Most banshee pilots will only use their bombs due to tracking and damage caused per hit (srs). Plus a good gunner + pilot can wreck banshees before a banshee can wreck the former.

Im a top rate warthog driver. I wont confess to being extraordinary at any part of this game besides driving the hog.

I simply cant stand it when other people try to drive, they only have two speeds. way too f-ing fast to accurately gun, and so slow you get melted by enemy fire. they never have mics, and never use the horn to warn of enemies in front, while your addressing a different target.

feels so bad man.

edit: thats not even mentioning just how plain awful they are at driving period. they flip the hog first chance they get. ALWAYS

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

hornet was better. even when they nerfed it at least the driver had something. the falcon forces people to use teamwork, do you have any idea how hard that is with randoms?

me and my mate are the best falcon pilots out there, we can go about 30+ most games

I fly the Falcon pretty well. Was trying to find the game i went 100+ wheelman but i think ive taken this a little far now :)

  • 01.22.2012 3:14 AM PDT

No point to it, when you think about it.

Huh. I'd say the banshee or maybe the revenant. Still, I prefer being on the ground where everything around me usually can't spontaneously explode.

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.

You need luck, not skill in Reach. You have to get lucky and not get host migrations. Now if unfriggs were available in H3, that would take skill.

Anyone who claims the AR takes skill ought to shoot himself in the head. Preferably with the AR because they'll most likely miss with any other weapon.

I don't know which vehicles I'm best at technically, but the ones I enjoy the most and feel I perform best with are the Wraith and Banshee.

I'd be happy to use the Falcon, but haven't bothered learning to fly it properly. What's the point when your teammates shoot infantry whilst a banshee's tailing you, or press the wrong button sending them to their deaths from the top of the Spire?

But the Scorpion, I HATE the Scorpion.


Irony right there because that's the second-easiest vehicle to use.

Personally, I find the Falcon incredibly easy to fly, and I can do so with tact skill. I find it incredibly difficult, however, to coordinate it's usage, because when I play, I play with Randoms and without a microphone, with players who do likewise.

My personal favorite vehicle is, in fact, the Scorpion, and sadly most maps are designed such that heavy vehicles like the scorpion are choked into alleys and courtyards, which can prove a tremendous force, assuming it has infantry support, which it usually does not.

Honestly, I enjoy the challenge of taking down vehicles more than flying them. I enjoy destroying or even hijacking some high-roller's banshee. I don't understand people's complaints about it being OP when, frankly, anyone who knows what they're doing can dispatch it easily, particularly if you know how to aim a spartan laser.
