Halo 3 Banshees Return!

<mark>http://i.minus.com/ifS51PfbFd8zo.jpg</mark>

After seeing this image of Halo 4, I noticed that the two banshees resemble the more classical banshee seen in Halo 1/2/3/odst and boy, I’m glad to see it. The reach banshee looks terrible and clunky in design and I loved the old styles much more.

Is anyone else glad to see the former design making a return in halo 4?

I did prefer the classic stlye, but I hope it makes the same sound that the one in Halo CE did when you flew it.

I was fine with both designs

You don’t need to highlight the link, it doesn’t turn white any more.
As for the image, that’s concept art, we don’t know what the Halo 4 Banshee will look like on release.

I really do hope 343 balances the banshee right.

I wouldn’t put too much faith in a concept art piece.
And I much prefer the more functional Reach version but would love the hover mode to return too… Two modes of possible flight similar to switching between the cannons and cannon.

It looks like a hybrid of the classic and new designs. Which I find rather nice.
I just hope it is as maneuverable as the Banshee in the first Halo. Man that thing was awesome. It just lacked boost.

Yeah I like it but all I hope is that they really balance out the banshee this time around. At least have like a meter drain whenever you use the evasive maneuver.

Thank God… I hated the Reach look… Too odd looking.

I’m very glad. I hate that hideous monstrosity in Reach.

I kind of liked the way it looked in Reach and Anniverary, but I’m sure it will look fine in Halo 4.

Same sound? I hope it flies like CE’s! That banshee was epic.

NO MOAR REACH BANSHEE! TOO MUCH OP!

Seriously though, reach banshee=more abused than AL

I like it :slight_smile:
Sure, it’s only concept art but it looks sweet and aerial, the one in Reach looks and flies like a turtle, or a cargo ship from freelancer, and is not a worthy foe. Sure, it got some unserious firepower, but it’s no fun to use (unlike Halo 3 banshee which didn’t have awesome firepower, but was fun to use)

The Banshees in the concept art do look awesome, and they do resemble older-style Halo 3-esque Banshees. However, the key words here are “concept art”, nothing is set in stone, and this certainly doesn’t reflect what they’ll look like in-game.

same

Technically Halo Reach had the first banshee. Then Halo CE, 2, and then 3. So the one on Reach was the old model and thus the one in Halo 3 was the newest one we saw. So that only means that the one in Halo 4 will look different but somewhat similar to Halo 3.

At least I hope it will work like that.

As long as it functions like the Halo 3 banshee as well, it will be good.

As long as 343 takes out those ridiculous Banshee bombs, I’m cool with whatever they do to the Banshee.

I preferred the Reach/CEA design banshee. It looked more slick, faster and more maneuverable than the Halo 1-3 banshee. They were slow and harder to do stunts on. I hope this new Halo 4 one is more maneuverable and can fly faster.
