A strong gust of wind will destroy the banshee.

If you're on a team that isn't prioritizing destruction of the banshee then just quit.

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

It's like that because Bungie figured out the Halo 3 Banshee doesn't work with Reach vehicle health.

IMO, banshee flips should cost a chunk of energy out of the boost meter/armor ability bar so that the thing can't flip every second.


Win.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Posted by: Sentox6
Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

Oh my god, it's too difficult to hit ~48 shots from my starting weapon on a flying vehicle! I should just give up!

Team DMR it.

This. Nerfing the banshee would just render it useless due to the almighty weapon wrecking DMR. A competent team shoots banshee down in the course of few seconds.

lol@useless banshee

True, it's easy to team shot it, but should I remind you that in halo reach, randoms CAN'T DO -blam!-

Assuming the entire team is intact, it takes 4 DMR shots from each player to destroy a banshee. 4 shots, from a weapon you spawn with. Let that sink in.

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

the banshee sucks on that map compared to other maps, that is probably one of the hardest maps to banshee on hands down

Haha, No.

If you can't efficiently operate an M6 G/GNR you deserve to get plasma bombed. If your entire team lacks this ability, you all deserve it. And if your collective selves cannot focus enough fire to shoot it down, God help you all.

Tutorial on piloting a banshee:
>Immediately switch to the banshee bomb upon entering the vehicle. The plasma cannons are useless so don't even bother.
>Boost constantly, especially when you're going downwards.
>Backflip every other second.
>Do the boost + backflip combo constantly
>If you're weak, just chill out behind a wall for a sec, then just rinse and repeat.

Halo 2 didn't have a Fuel Rod on the Banshee.

  • 01.28.2012 1:32 PM PDT

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Solution: Get the Banshee first.

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

Funny thing, DMR's actually wreck vehicles. If you don't spawn out in the open, make the most of it by putting shots into the Banshee. Alternatively, search with a full-party.

Thats how I could afford halo!

The real question is, does the banshee annoy you:
a) More than MR E0S
b) The same amount as MR E0S
c) Less than MR E0S

Please...stop getting butthurt when I noscope you from the passenger seat of the vehicle I'm riding in :D


Posted by: Killer VVhale
I agree with OP. Good Banshee drivers can be frustratingly hard to hit. Jut hope I'm on the other team. I get in a Banshee and I'll be dead in about fifteen seconds.


Lol. This. I find that the only good thing is the there's so many corners to avoid, that being EMP'd is virtually impossible to avoid even for a seasoned driver. It's perfect on this map.

  • 01.29.2012 9:02 AM PDT

So many banshee counters.. its harder to get kills with it vs a decent team than you think..

shutup op
If he did, he'd be complaining about the amount of black screens in btb.

Lol, So true.

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.

Halo PC banshee was cool.

Fuel rod was not an insta-kill. But it was a stronger vehicle.

Are you retarded? No player can Team DMR, the team can, so that means you need a good team. The vast majority of MM games are random people bundled together, so it's impossible to do.

Just like the scorpion would ruin games due to its power, the banshee does. Sure, the scorpion isn't invincible - it's just very tough and takes a lot of teamwork to destroy it. However, it doesn't belong in MM because of its power.
