They needed my baby! 343 what the hell were you thinking?! The Banshee was fine the way it was!

There’s a cooldown or greater cooldown after performing flips.
You cant flip continuously over and over. Pretty much breaks any sort of tracking from anti-air weapons, making it almost impossible to EMP, and even harder to get rockets/hydra to even lock on let alone time to shoot afterwards.
Now it actually requires you to skillfully evade incoming heavy weapons.
I don’t remember hearing that this was going to happen 
Whaaaaat??? Really?
Good change, imo.
Now instead of spamming the evade, you have to time it. Good pilots will still be effective while ground forces will have a bit more leeway to destroy them.
Banshee was definitely not fine as it was, and I’m really glad they changed it. They were incredibly hard to destroy before because they were always moving erratically and way too many players exploited it.
Its so stupid how they changed it. If you were skilled enough with AA Power Weapons, you could still down the Banshee. Now 343 made it way too easy for people with power weapons to take down the Banshee.
All 343 had to do was make the tracking of the Rocket Launcher and Hydra Launcher not break when the Banshee does a flip. That was literally all 343 had to do. But no. They nerfed the Banshee completely to the point its pretty much useless now.

The Banshee is absolutely not useless now. They just remedied a massive crutch that many solely relied on when piloting a Banshee. People just need to find new playstyles and maneuvers when piloting, and I’m sure it’ll be no time at all when we see someone destroying with it again.
Good, I can actually shoot at it for once without it Barrel rolling every second
I love the change. Well done 343

Hear, hear.
Couldn’t tell you how many times I used to solo queue and in a WZ or BTB game just get totally massacred by someone spamming the flip button in a banshee, while none of my teammates bothered to shoot at it.
The Halo 5 Banshee, and all its variants (which really goes without saying), were the most powerful iteration yet for multiplayer.
Spartan Thruster evade has a cooldown, Phaeton evade has a cooldown. Why NOT the Banshee? That needed to be done from day one.
the only frustration i have here, they wait 2 years after launch to change all these things in the game. why do that? it just seems so stupid to me. its like they are say well we messed up from the beginning. all these new changes are definitely going to take some time to get use to
I had fun yesterday. Arclight, Banshee nerf = Skeet shooting.
well then. nice job catering to bad players. banshees were already easy to kill. i would know ive destroyed more banshees than everyone in this thread combined. really disappointing as banshee is really the main reason i even play halo
I used a banshee in FF this morni,g and it didnt feel much different honestly. So you have to wait 1 or 2 seconds between spins. Not a big deal to me.
