Most Major leuage gamers dont use banshee thoughs. I was going to join the -=NN=- clan or something, and one of the things they take into account is "how often do u use the Banshee?"

So im pretty sure that they dont want you to be using banshees in Major leauge Gaming clans.

Thats just my opinion though

I don't think that this program qualifies you as a pro, but I found the link on Halo-Pro(home of TheHaloGod video(Halo 2)).

From what I have read, you join a server with other people in the program, and win or lose money depending on your position. You're gambling/making a bet on yourself.

If being paid is all that makes someone a pro, then I suppose this would qualify you. If skill is required, it wouldn't do it alone.

You have to be eighteen to use it, sorry Master Kim. You could probably make a lot with this.

I'll see if I can find the link.

Wow i have never heard of that. but i bet you gotta be good to play there, or well be able to make money. But still being pro probley means:

1) A highly skilled player with all weapons
2)Highly skilled with vehicals
3)Is a well mannered player
4)Knows good tactics
5)Is a teamplayer

These ae just 5 characteristics that i think would make up a "Pro" player.

any weapon is point and shoot, you can't just point, and you can't just shoot, to kill someone. it goes together

people are pros with a pistol, they get really good with the ping and get 3 headshot kills, I got taken down when I strafed good, and I'm not talking where I go in a line.

any weapon actually takes skill.

no dip -blam!- there is oint and shoot and aim and shhot. there IS a difference

Guys, what is with these random raging opinions? Seriously. If the pistol works, then you've got every right to use it. Maybe you should pick up a pistol some day and use it. It's just possible that it's a good idea... So, swallow your pride, cut the crap, it's just a game, go play.

apparently pros have a "code of honour" i mean its a game theres no such thing as honour in a game of multiplayer and because someone does something once is not a noob.
with this type of argument no one wins because everyone has there own opinions.
oh what would getting a double kill with one assault rifle shot count as?

A double kill with one assault rifle shot count as? Cheating. :D

To tell you the truth the assault rifle, although is horribly imbalanced and underwhelming, makes up for the fact that you can take a little piece of someone's shield with a quick burst of bullets, and then finish them off with a double melee.

you ar ethe biggest noob i have ever heard ever, if it is so easy to use, why not 1v1 me on halo pc, pistols only, no nades or other weapons, if it is so easy and skilless surely we would have about even scores?

For the record all the best clans will play these games often:

CTF: BG, SW, DC, IF, RR

TS: BG, HEH, RR, CO, DERELICT

Banshees are NEVER used, NN is a -blam!- clan, and tanks are never used. get some skill, use the pistol and the sniper, if you think its easy play a good player then eat your words.

How bad the players on bungie forums are appearing to be are embarrassing

Ya, the only "major league" we have for Halo PC is Kl-an Wars. No one, I repeat, NO ONE, uses Shees in any game. You can just forget about using it, period. That is, unless you like using them in pubs.

How many times do we have to argue on the topic of heavies? They take a certain amount of skill, but not as much as a sniper rifle or pistol. You have to worry about splash damage, accuracy while having a VERY slow rate of fire (unless you LIKE overheating on the frg), etc. To be honest, everyone on Kl-an Wars uses heavies, but for CTF purposes of course.

To sum this whole thing up (I bet the forum morons won't even read this sentence), it does make more sense to rely on the pistol because it's more universal, spawns more quickly, and makes quick work of your opponents if you're good at it.

thats the key, getting good at it, im releasing my halo montage in a few weeks, there you will be able to see what the difference is between the skill that not every1 can master in halo 1, to something in halo 2 that everyone can do, such as using the sword rockets and super auto aim sniper.

I dunno dude, I find the sniper rifle and pistol easier to use than the RL or FRG. When I use heavies, it's 50-50 that I'll kill myself instead of my enemy. With bullets, it's a 60-70% chance I'll win.

Why don't you shut the -blam!- up? You come here, insult us about our playing styles. And have the nerve to challenge us to a match? Why don't you let some of the hot air out from between you're ears, grow up a few years, then come back.

It sickens me to have to listen to you're "I'm the best" -blam!- kiddo.

And for the record, the word "noob" is considered an inapropriate word here. And the amount that I've seen it tossed around in this thread is equally sickening.

Shees are only "noobish" if you use them to camp, teleblock, and just run people over when they spawn. Other than that, I dunno how else a shee can be a noob. It was Obi-Wan that taught me sheewhoring is not complete noobishness.

Nessy, let's see, you go to our forums, just joined. And then you flame people that have been here much longer than you. If you don't want to be banned, I suggest you keep your flaming to yourself.

Thanks, I think...

Still sore about that 10-1 banshee battle?

Yes there are some tactics that would be considered "low" by others. But c'mon, can anyone here say in all honesty that they haven't run someone over? Or killed infantry with rockets?

That's like saying the US shouldn't use the M2 Bradley to kill infantry because they have an unfair advantage... Guess what! It's war! Use what you got!

When someone calls me a noob after I kill them I say "Wow, You got killed by a noob. What does that say about your skills? Ubernoob...

I've been thinking about it...

I think I might know what's really the problem… people who shoot you twice while you are spawning in, and then once when you start to move for a cheap "3-shot-kill"? I've come across them. Then they boast about their "skills."

This thread is about pros pissing people off? Are you kidding me? look whats being posted here, im allowed to be an ass when you guys start talking about banshee battles. I expected such a large community to atleast understand that pros are better than them and not say the pistol is easy to use. banshees versus a person 99 times out of 100 the banshee wins, thats what makes it noobish. it is too good.

Oh, so you're "allowed" to be an ass here while the rest of us follow the rules?
You're not allowed to be an ass just because we're discussing banshee battles.

Oh and for the record; Pro's = People with no lives who spend all thier time playing a -blam!- video game.

You're not "pro". You're not even a "good" player. The real players in Halo and in the Maw are the people who play the game for fun, they laugh and poke fun at each other but are more often than not polite and humble. Not people like you with poor sportsmanship and bad attitudes toward people who have been here much longer, and are more respected in the community than you.

I don't care what "skills" you have. It's a players attitude and character online that defines them as a good player. I could sit here and list dozens of people online who are better than you.

So take your "holier than thou"attitude and shove it up next to the gerbil in ur ass.

Why doesn't everyone get it? There is NOTHING wrong with using any object in the game for any purpose. A kill is a kill. A capture is a capture.

You can scream shee noob, frg noob, anything noob all you want. That doesn't change the fact that you are losing against whatever they have.

You must adapt to what they do, or you will lose. Heavies in the tunnels on Danger Canyon? Send the whole team in and whipe them out, or just go around outside.

Why were certain weapons and vehicles defined as noob anyway? There isn't anything wrong with using the banshee to run people over, even when they are totally vulnerable such as when spawning. There are other members of the team that is spawning on the map. Pistol that thing and take it for yourself.

Do you know why it's ok to do all this? It's because everyone has the opportunity, but they think themselves too "honorable" to use weapons that could win the game for them. They have found themselves above using cheap weapons by conforming to the idea that certain items and vehicles are noobish.

I don't conform. I use whatever I can find, usually pistol and a rocket. When I'm on defense, I always have my flame thrower. I get called a noob for it, but we'll let the Post Game Carnage Report show who the noobs are.

My server only has banshees on Infinity, and nobody whines about them there. Everyone has the opportunity to get one, as long as they are fast enough. Those that don't have starting plasma grenades, so banshees shouldn't be a problem.

I remember the early days of Halo PC, when there was no noob-calling. It seems it happened overnight when vehicles, rockets, and especially frg's were designated noobish. I don't know why it happened. Things are taboo this day that weren't a week ago. The taboos are completely unnecessary, and all they do is hurt people trying to enjoy the game in all of its aspects.

How about instead of saying that certain weapons and vehicles take no skill and whining that you get owned by some noob with them every day, you realize that person has it figured out and knows how to win, and you evidently don't? Like I said, don't wear your keyboard calling names, wear your wasd keys finding a way to beat those who have these so-called noob weapons. Work and communicate with your team to kill the camper with the frg and take it for your team, and then win with it.

It doesn't take a lot of thought, you just have to get over the prejudice. If you want to dominate every day, learn to adapt and learn to use the taboo weapons and the banshee. Get those power weapons before the other team does, and go pwn. Learn to type quickly for team chat as well. If you communicate, you can work together and win. And most of all, don't let what other people say discourage you.

I am not a pro, but I hope to someday be one in Halo 2(Halo 3, if it takes too long). I'm going for a legit level 50, no standbying, no boosting, no bridging. I'm at thirteen now and only started Saturday. I was fourteen until we lost a match. I'm going to go see if I can get to twenty today.

One final thought: If Bungie/Gearbox/the server host put it on the map, how can you justify not using it to its full potential?

its one thing about people being shee noobs, it is quite another when someone complains about someone killing them skillfully. And suddenly if you are good at a game you have no life? Interesting, I must make sure never to get good at any games then.

So if i was the best footballer on earth, then i wud have no life, just playing this game? I amazingly enough do have a life, through playing halo, the only thing you know about the people that own you with the pistol is that they are better than you. Nothing about their life at all.

I Agree! I don't know how many times I get stuck on a team of people who consider 'shees and heavies "noobish", they refuse to use them and we get base-raped by by those who do use theirs AND OURS against us. Even if I get a 'shee and go against them, I have 3 enemy 'shees against me. I'm good but not great and I don't last long against 3 other 'shees. If you don't use it your enemy will use it against you!
