Banshee Suicide Protocol Idea

Don’t say you’ve never tired to get that one last kill out of your banshee by crashing into the enemy while your banshee is on fire and about to explode. But when you actually crash into your enemy, your banshee is still alive and in an even worse condition then before. And what if you were trying to do it to a scorpion or a wraith? you might as well kiss your life goodbye… well, only yours and not theirs.

Imagine if this was an actual built in function for the banshee. sorta like the doomed state of titans in Titanfall, when your banshee gets damaged so much to the point that a single grenade or sniper rifle round would take it down. When your banshee gets super low and heavily damaged, you get a popup display telling you or warning you of your vehicles state, telling you you need to bail or give your life to kill another. All you would do is simply activate the suicide protocol and the banshee would get a sudden jump in speed, even faster then it’s normal boost, and take a nose dive. You would still be able to control the angle of it, but the moment the from hits something hard, it will explode.

Please, give your thoughts, I loved trying to suicide banshee kill my enemies in Reach and I want it to make a big comeback.

Edit: Also, don’t forget that Halo has already done something like this in Halo Wars.

What if when the banchee has super low health it automatically just blows like the ghost did in Halo 2?

No.
No suicidebombers allowed.

This is a good idea.

Sounds like an interesting feature

I can imagine it.:grin:

explosion
Jeff Stietzer: “Kamikaze!”

You have no idea how many times I’ve tried this only to get jacked in the end. Then some how the enemy gets a killing spree with a banshee that if sneezed on will blow up. Lol

I’ve always wanted the option of self-destructing my vehicles to take a bunch of people with me.

Count me in!

Banshees are already op enough not having a weak spot to shoot at thank you very much. And let’s not forget about ultra/temple banshees having a 2 sec recharge time on banshee bombs and super fast usage of banshee tricks so no to this

It’d be cool if it also self-destructed on impact when there is no pilot. Aim, bail, and hopefully chuckle at the carnage.

Banshees do have a weak point. The area between the main thrusters at the tail is where you should aim.

I really like the idea. I wouldn’t say no to it. But I feel like it would make a lot of Spartans mad.

This sounds like so much fun but I feel like it would enable trolls

No, I dont want any kamikaze coming into game.

introducing the new banshee variant, allahu ackshee

It’s a good idea and I would like to see this feature in the game BUT don’t forget that american citizens make Halo and they don’t have joyful memories about suicide aircrafts (1941 Pearl Harbor ; 2001 World Trade Center). I’m sorry to tell you this, but forget your dream, it will never be.

I don’t at all intend to detract from what you are saying but there were no “intended” kamikaze attacks at Pearl Harbour, the Japanese first used “official” Kamikazes at the Battle of Leyte Gulf. :relaxed:

I’m a WW2 history buff.

I’m surprised no one here mentioned Halo Wars. That was the last upgrade for banshee and it was called sacrifice.

Me being a Banshee, I LOVE THIS IDEA
