anyone who has spent a game in renegade getting spawn killed would agree with me.
It’s not that hard to take down. It’s made out of cardboard.
For Example:
-Team DMR it.
A good player can easily take down a Banshee. All the vehicles in Reach seem to be made of paper mache, so just DMR it to death.
The banshee is too easy to take down to warrant a nerf. It’s literally 90% offense, 10% defense.
Honestly, it’s one of the few vehicles that are worth getting into. If I have a DMR, I don’t even bother getting into a ghost or warthog anymore.
If you’re getting pooped on by a banshee, make it your sole goal upon spawn to take it out. High-tail it to the nearest sniper rifle, or pick armor lock and just spam at it with your DMR. It’ll come down with a little bit of patience.
yes. Team DMR that naughty boy. gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It’s easy to take down if you DMR it, but the infinite ability to flip is really annoying when you’re firing a rocket at it…

While i agree with this, most of the time, people seem to forget they are carrying a gun they can shoot.
So the banshee goes on a rampage.
Flipping and flopping all over the place.
Give the banshee a cooldown at least.

True, if the pilot is evading like a BOSS then it can be more difficult to take down, but teamwork and communication can easily take it out. Most people forget that a DMR can do a LOT of damage to vehicles, Banshees included.
Most of the time, if people see a Banshee, they will try to hijack it or run away from it. These two tactics barely ever work.
The best way to get rid of a Banshee, is shoot it with something. Most weapons do a hell of a lot of damage to vehicles, even the pistol does as much damage as a DMR.
It’s really not that hard to take down. Just keep shooting it with everything you have, it will pay off, trust me.
The only thing I’m still trying to figure out, is how paper mache can fly and fire green plasma blobs at you.
lolwut? Banshees need a buff if anything. You can take one down with a DMR. I don’t even go for the banshie, the fact that any long range rifle can beat it, and with all the lazers and stuff on the map, you’re putting yourself at a risk getting inside one.
> No.
Thanks, that YouTube video made my day. Anyway, as for the topic at hand, the DMR, Sniper Rifle and intelligent use of the Jet Pack can neturalize a Banshee.
Isn’t it a little late to be jumping on the ‘Banshee is op’ bandwagon?
ugg we should remove it’s fuel rod gun and increase the damage that it’s plasma canons do.
@SameTheWeebo: I agree. As Far as I can tell the Plasma Cannons don’t exsist, there a myth. The last time I saw them deployed was… I can’t even remember.
The Banshee is annoying yes. But, it doesn’t need to be nerfed, it’s pretty weak as it is. I also, agree with every-one else on the vehicles thing. There to weedie. The Tanks can even be wrecked by DMRs, that is utterly ridiculous. A Tank is a TANK! The idea behind the Tank was that it was to be invulnerable to small arms fire, in here however it is vulnerable to small arms fire making it a complete contradiction of it’s purpose.

Haha yep. Made my day first time I saw it.

Indeed.
I would also add that I wouldn’t mind a reduction in the blast radius. I miss jumping to avoid death from the Banshee. It seems in Reach you are dead no matter what if the Banshee fires at you and it is at least in your general direction.
I also agree that the vehicles overall in Halo: Reach are a bit too weak for my taste.
It should be nerved- by making its “evade” maneuver take away from the booster meter.
Lets see
>Spartan laser
>Rocket launcher
>Tank
>Armor lock/Drop shield
>Active camo
>Sniper
All those things can either get past or kill a banshee. Learn to kill stuff.
The gauss hog is more of a pain to deal with. On headlong or breakneck, whichever has the banshee on it, I always take it down with the lock on with the rocket launcher. The gauss hog on the other hand is harder to take down since it has practically no cool down rate and has a killer spread - sorry for the pun 
If it’s not flip flopping around remember it is susceptible to more than just bullets and rockets, if you can emp it with a fully charged plasma pistol, or if you hold down the trigger after firing a grenade out of the grenade launcher, it won’t explode right away and can be used as an emp as well as a bomb. When it goes down, if it lands on ground and not in water, jump down and hijack it.

So just because you and your team mates aren’t smart enough to actually shoot at the banshee it should be nerfed? No.
