Has there been any news released on the new firefight map regarding the ability to hijack banshees? I have checked many of the videos, but have found nothing about this. On the map “holdout” you are able to knock the banshee down, but it blows up when you try to hijack it. I hope this is not the case with Installation 04.
Do we even have Banshees on Installation 04?
It’ll probably be the same as Holdout, if I had to hedge a guess.
I appreciate your time. I guess we will find out in a few weeks right.
From what I remember about HaloFest, you couldn’t hijack them. Most flew out over the cliff and barely ever made their way across land. And when they did, they blew up like in Holdout.

Yes, the Covenant will use Banshees against you just like they do on Holdout. It’s in on the trailers showing off Installation 04.
Just like Holdout however, this one doesn’t believe you can hijack them.
I doubt it, as a Banshee in Firefight would be almost unstoppable. I don’t imagine they’ll be much of a threat anyway, considering how poor the programming for the Banshee is in Reach.
I suppose there is always an upside. If we are unable to use them to get the vehicular commendation, just shooting them down will help the grounded commendation.
MAYBE…
There will be hijacking like Halo CE,
NONE. This would make more sense, considering it is a remake of the original map…

Actually, since the map is made for Reach and has nothing more to do with Anniversary campaign than the location and layout, its a perfectly reasonable point to consider.
I still think its the same deal as Holdout, though.

If Banshees actually fought we’d get wrecked.
The banshees actually do fire at you. If you refer to the halo anniversary video that waypoint put out, the banshees come in low enough to hijack and they come in guns blazing. This might be interesting. I also think the ODST’s will make a good addition as well.
There might not be hijacking in this map, like Holdout, and maybe because there is a kill area mid way in the Forerunner Structure.

Probably not. But hopefully Halo 4 expands on Firefight and A.I gametypes in general.

Yeah, that would be fantastic.
Firefight needs some marines.
Otherwise you would die millions upon billions of times.
So good idea there, Viper Skills
