Back in Halo Reach i liked very very much the banshee. The design was perfect and the way you manage it was more easy than halo 3.
Now 343i seems to adopt halo 3 banshee style which i kinda hate it because when you turn around in ‘RB’ banshee kinda boosts a bit to the front and then he turns around kinda slow.
Now, scorpion, gauss turret and mantis are my choice.

The Banshee in Reach was the most OP vehicle besides the Tank plus it went down way too quick. They did it right in Halo 4 and made the Banshee tolerable like it was in Halo 3. The Halo 3 Banshee was the most balanced. Not to mention the Fuel Rod blast radius was huge as hell.
It’s movement may be slower, but it’s health and damage have been increased.
I agree, the slow turning makes things less strategic! 
People say the Banshee in Halo Reach was OP and I disagree. There were a lot of ways to take it down, and it wasn’t easy to go 20+ in it, but I did.
I hated the Reach Banshee, the only thing that balanced the fact that It was so OP was that it was made of paper mache, And thats only if your using actual bullets. Try shooting down the Banshe in invasion afer the spartans take it. Everything except the focus rifle is largely useless. Needle rifle didn’t do anything against it. And the bomb was rediculoussly op compared to Halo 3. And those flips. Those were just stupidly fast it made the thing even harder to hit with emps and such.

Yes, there were a lot of ways to take it down, the only problem was that you couldn’t take it down because it fried your face before you could shoot.
It seems more akin to the Banshee of Halo 2 or 3 as it seems 343 is trying to fix the problems that were rampant in Reach.

Wasn’t easy to go 20+ in it? LOL I’ve gotten a couple Rampages and an Invincible in it. The only way to take it down without and power weapons was to Team DMR it to death which if you have not very good teammates is very hard to do. I’ve had a friend get a Unfrig in the Banshee.
No. The Banshee in 4 is balanced.
Being able to blow up every vehicle known to man in one Banshee bomb, that’s just overpowered.

I disagree. I think it was VERY easy to go 20+ in a banshee with only an inkling of skill. I had numerous occasions in Reach where I’d survive the whole game in the banshee just because of that fuel rod blast. If you snipe out the tanks from a distance as they spawn, it’s very easy to stay alive so long as you don’t fly directly into an open firefight. I’m glad they’re nerfing it in Halo 4. It was an easy win in Reach to just hop in the banshee.

Indeed, of course I can get an Unfrigginbelievable every time in a Banshee when I’m playing against a terrible team. But you only need like 3 or 4 people to shoot at it with DMR’s and it will get destroyed in seconds.
But I also love how nobody can ever be happy.
It’s always Overpowered or else Underpowered, it’s never good enough!

I don’t care about the damage or what so ever… I was talking about the way it moves, turns around etc…

If people think it’s hard to get +20 with the Banshee, then clearly they’re playing the wrong game.
The Banshee in Reach was SO EASY to get kills in, it’s laughable.
Those who say that it is not OP, clearly have not played on Renegade.

not only that but what also made it hard to take down was the fast speed of its evade manoeuvres, well its was hard for me anyway.
The Banshee sucks in Halo 4. A Banshee that sucks, means it’s balanced, so I’m glad you think that 
Halo 4 destroyed meaning of “flip your banshee”
Thumbs down
Seems pretty balanced. It’s more of a defensive vehicle, certainly when I’ve played it. You can’t just fly over the enemy team and expect to be ok (I’m looking at you, Reach) :P.
I kick -Yoink- with the Banshee in Halo 4, you’re doing it wrong.
The halo 4 banshee is a joke. Paper thin, outclassed by many vehicles, and since everyone and their mother has a power weapon on this game, you won’t be lasting long with it.
You gotta Fly low. Only come out to shoot then go back to cover.
