Halo 1 was the only Halo game to actually get the banshee right. Remember when it made that “woosh” sound effect when it turned mid-air? Isn’t that part of the reason why it’s even called a banshee?
In Halo 2, the banshee sound effects were replaced with more generic ones that didn’t sound anything like a banshee.
Halo 3 kept those sound effects.
So did Halo: Reach.
It was that epic sound effect that made the banshee so awesome. And Halo 1 is the only game to actually have it. If the banshee is in Halo 4, please give it banshee sounds.
