i'm not sure if bungei sai anything about this so...

in boosting with the banshee, you have to pull the left trigger. i can already see a problem with this. where will the Fuel Rod Gun go? i liked that thing. it was pretty funny to throw one of those into a group af covies and watch them fly. i'm assumiung that it will just get assigned to another button but o'm not sure.

can either a bungie employee or mod answer this for me? or even anyone who knows what i'm talking about, and/or has seen something concering this?

Boosting seems only to be on the Ghost at the moment.

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!


Boosting are for Ghost Only so far and I think the ATV will have one too!!

yep, it appears you can boost in banshees. I guess they'll eitehr drop the fuel rod cannon or plasma cannon or assign the fuel rod to another button...

if you read the whole article, it says that the left trigger will be assigned to boost for both the ghost and banshee.

Yeh there is a Banshee its in the fourth row down, second from the right! (big yellow guy with rocket launcher picture) Maybe its spilling plasma or sommat cos it got battered in a fight?? But hey I doubt you got anything to worry about the Bungie boys will figure out a way to keep the Fuel Rod Cannon!

Ahh, saw the text after actually reading it. But this may not make it in the final version.

First of all, why in hell would they give the banshee a boost. You can fly as high as you want. If you're just using it as transport, you'll never have to fly extremely fast to get away from anything. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind a boost on the banshee. But why would they waste time on that. Second of all, I don't think that banshee is boosting in that picture. If you watch the ghost in the videos, it has a stream of blue, not a couple of puffy clouds. Also, I don't think that ditching the fuel rod cannon would neccesarily be a bad thing. The banshee is tough enough as it is, it can fly and shoot and go way out of the range of most guns. It doesn't need a gun that has almost the same effect as a rocket launcher.

it actually mentions in the preview that the banshee can boost.

i would say they should just drop the fuel rod cannon the banshee is already cheap enough, if the fuel rod cannon isnt dropped they should at least make a way to shoot the pilot in the banshee easy
