Halo 2/Vehicles: Difference between revisions

In [[Halo 2]], the Banshee's controls are much less realistic than they were in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] (which operated like an airplane). However, it is much easier to aim and navigate in [[Halo 2]]. The Banshee has two plasma guns mounted on its nose which fire at about the same rate as a [[../Weapons#Plasma Rifle|Plasma Rifle]]. The banshee still has its Fuel Rod Cannon, useable by pressing the B button. However, it can only be used in campaign. While firing the Banshee, speed is temporarily limited. Ordinarily, the vehicle is very slow and a very easy target to [[../Weapons#Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]] fire, but the Banshee also come equipped with two thrusting mechanisms, one on each wing. When activated, the Banshee's speed doubles, but turning and aiming becomes more difficult. The biggest drawback to the thrusters is the fact that the plasma turrets cannot be fired while boosting. The thrusters can also be used for barrel roll moves, which makes the vehicle capable of rolling upside down from side-to-side, and elevate higher.
