Subject: Banshee is too OP in Reach

Anyone else agree? I think to even it up, either it can only do so many evades, then has to recharge, like an armor ability, or they llower the power of the bomb so you can survive anything but a direct hit.

Also the banshee has no decent counter vehicle if you like, the scorpion is a sitting duck, the falcon is useless, even with two gunners, because one banshee bomb will kill them,etc, etc

The perfect counter to a banshee.

8 DMR's.

The Scorpion can take down the Banshee if you know what you're doing, so can a Warthog if you have a decent gunner and a decent driver. Not too mention that a Falcon can take down a Banshee if you're a decent pilot and you don't have idiotic gunners.

Personally I wouldn't say that's the best way to counter a Banshee unless you're in a party of 8 and have good communication skills.
If you're on your own then you always the the rocket launcher, sniper rifle, spartan laser ...
There are many ways of countering a Banshee attack.

If you are matching against gamesager then the problem isn't with the banshee, it's with the matchmaking system.

There's always room for you, If you want to be my friend.

The Banshee is UP, 4 shots with sniper = dead.

Bungie created the host-selection system.

And you know this how?


LOL, Mains kids

The best counter to a banshee is 8 DMRs just like faceripper said.

That is, 8 DMRs right off your initial spawn and every time the Banshee spawns. Destroy it before anyone gets in it - that's the tactic for every BTB.net game.

  • 07.19.2012 5:54 AM PDT

You don't even need 8 DMRs.

Banshee bomb has too little homing ability. It should be like shooting a sniper out of a revy. The vehicle is way under powered.

Also, OP, you've really got to tell me who this Banshee pilot is so I can FR him. I've only come across so many Banshees who have won a dogfight with the Falcon, and trust me, it wasn't because the Banshee pilot was a prodigy.

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

It might be OP if it wasn't made out of cardboard.

Here's to hoping Halo 4 vehicles aren't made out of cardboard and paper mache.

What it lacks in defensive capabilities it makes up for in offensive power.

You spawn with a weapon that tears through it.

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

I think when you pit 16 randoms or small parties into teams of 8 and they're all decent players making a fairly competitive match, the Banshee fits perfectly into the sandbox on a map like Renegade. The problem isn't so much the banshee, but the way teams are made. Say at at average time in a Renegade CTF game there is an enemy banshee over your base and you have 2 dead, 2 in battles with enemies, and 4 teammates on the move. If just those 4 shoot the banshee, it'll be down with little more than one magazine spent per player.

TLDR: The banshee isn't overpowered. You just DMR it with even one teammate and the pilot will be forced to retreat or take heavy damage.
