Does anyone else think that the wraith and banshee are overpowered? I hate dying over and over when I’m playing more skillfully than the other guy, just because he’s in the vehicle.
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-what? Every single vehicle in the game can be ripped to shreds by any bullet weapon. The Banshee shouldn’t be able to backflip and banshee bomb at the same time and the wraith shouldn’t be able to shoot a player who’s boarded them…those are the only things OP about them.
The vehicles are nowhere near overpowered. The banshee bomb in spawn trap circumstances maybe, but definately not the wraith, and when not spawn trapping, not the banshee. The vehicles are underpowered if anything and if you’re on foot and they’re in a vehicle, 9/10 times, they SHOULD win.

The Wraith is definately a problem just because it has the ability to kill people attached to the front of it. Other than that Every vehicle is just as formidable as they always have been. The only thing you can do about Banshees would be to switch them with Falcons.
Well the vehicles have a very different health system in Reach than they did in Halo 3 as it no longer uses the players shields. And the warthog is much lighter meaning it will be thrown around by bullets and flip when driving over slightly uneven terrain. It’s pretty much fact they are less formidable.
Yeah, I know that but it’s Obvious that hopping on a Wraith is harder than a Scorpion since the driver can just shoot you off. Thats what I was pointing out. Not how the vehicles health has changed.
That part’s true, the thing about how vehicles are as formidable as they always were isn’t…
True, what I ment to say was they are just about as powerful as in H3.
How many clips does it take to kill the wraith with a dmr or ar? More than several. An entire team can have trouble putting it down, unless they have a rocket launcher. The sniper rifle takes most of its bullet supply to kill it. It takes how many grenades to destroy the wraith? Too many. It can barely move, slowly, and get a splatter. As been said, it can shoot itself to kill a boarder without blowing up. It has unlimited ammo. Even if you emp blast it, it recovers before you can reload/recharge. It even takes four rockets to kill. If you haven’t noticed how overpowered the wraith is, then you are either one of those people overusing/hogging it because it makes you powerful, or you are lying in an attempt to prevent anyone convincing 343 to fix the problem. Otherwise, you are either delusional or a cheater.
As for the banshee: it has unlimited flips, the recharge for the flip is too short, and the only weapon that can RELIABLY kill it (rocket) is rendered useless by spamming the flip.
the banshee fine is insanely irritating… maybe not OP but definately a nuisance
the wraith is fine, if you think thats OP never go up agaisnt a scorpion

If you’re playing more skillfully, then why did he get the vehicle? And why are you dying over and over again?

A team can take out a wraith in a few seconds with the DMR with enough concentrated fire and grenades (Around 4-5 people). Its ridiculously weak.
Yes, I also believe that the Banshee is alittle over powered, espcially when your team believes that the one guy with a DMR is more of an important kill than an extremely mobile vehical with something that’s superior to rockets and can easily take out snipers, other vehicals and huge groups of infantry.
The wraith? atleast it’s better than having a twelve ton sniper instakilling you from the back of the enemy team’s base (hemmorage) Thank god they changed that.
Wraith is ok, Banshee on the other hand makes me rage.

The wraiths disadvantage is it’s slow turning speed. Either board it from behind, or just hang back with a DMR, believe me they’re easy to take down compared to H3.
The banshee is definately screwed up w/too little armor and too much bomb power and ‘evade’ tricks.
The hog is too bouncy and too weak in armor.
The Banshee’s fuel rod should take longer to recharge so Banshee doesn’t equal instant carnage for one team and there will be an incentive to use the long-forgotten plasma turret. As for the Wraith, I suppose the radius on the mortar is a bit much but keep in mind that it is a tank
Agreed, the banshee bomb is ridiculous, and the fact that you can dodge rockets with the banshee pisses me off. The wraith, is annoying, but I usually just try to avoid enemy wraiths.

If the entire team uses their entire weapons supply on one player, ignoring the entire rest of the opposing team, THEN the wraith is ridiculously weak? If we meet a ridiculous expectation, the wraith is ridiculously weak? Are we supposed let the rest of the team attack us while we are attacking one man? Besides, that only creates the same problem the other way, players not letting others have a fair chance to play. I don’t want to not let people use vehicles, I want to have the game be fair and balanced while people use vehicles. You come up with the only situation that it’s not overpowered in, and that’s supposed to make me wrong? Nevermind that in every other situation you’re wrong. Is your point supposed to make any damn sense? You’re ridiculous, and you completely miss the point. I don’t want to fight over what team has the unfair advantage, I want to play a fair and balanced game. Like Halo is supposed to be, so says Bungie.

It turns fast enough to kill you, while starting its turn when you are at sprinting distance and you’re running. Or it can just barely inch towards you, to get a splatter. And it can kill you with two close glancing blows from it’s gun.
