I think I saw this somewhere (Being played, I mean.). I think what you should do is not eliminate heavy weapons... simply make them do less. In my opinion, that rocket launcher is not nooby at all... just the people who whine about it. If you think about it, fighting a guy with a rocket launcher is alot easier than you think. I'll leave you to think about it now...

"A weapon is defined by it's wielder."

I very much agree with Shadow's statement. If you find something annoying (like a weapon or vehicle), practice and learn how to kill the user of that weapon. Don't just take it out of the map. In taking it out of the map, you're using the easy way to eliminate the problem.

As an example, I'll take the Banshee. Very simple procedure to kill such a pilot (without a turret, mind you).

This process works best with a shotgun, a pistol and some Frag Grenades, all of which are within reach of the spawn points.

1. At long-range, Use your pistol (NEVER SNIPER, unless the guy has his shields down) and fire at the vehicle in controlled, one-shot bursts. Hopefully, this will grab the attention of the pilot. If it doesn't, continue firing and reloading until the Banshee is out of range.

2. If the pilot comes towards you, continue firing at the Banshee until it's relatively close to you. Whip out your short-range secondary (AR or Shotgun). Fire CONTINUOUSLY on the Banshee with the short range weapon. If the Banshee was close to start with, substitute the pistol with your short-range.

3. If the pilot lunges at you and tries to run you over, side-jump left or right when the Banshee is about 2 meters away. This means that you jump sideways to the left or right. Usually, the pilot won't be able to compensate, and you'll jump over it's wing. CONTINUE FIRING.

4. If the pilot manages to get the Banshee stuck, quickly throw a frag grenade. It should land close, but not right under the vehicle. This is so that it'll get the Banshee if it's still stuck, but will also hit the Banshee in the event it frees itself and lunges at you.

So, to sum up:

Pistol at long range, Shottie at short, frag if it's stuck, jump constantly, and never cease firing unless you must reload/vent heat.

P.S. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

"A weapon is defined by it's wielder." Blablablayadayadayada etc.

Well, not many people know it.
Okay, 1/2 maybe. Of the above-average people.
So , if noobs make up 1/2 of the total Halo-ers, average people 1/4, and the rest (above average, pro, gods, lalalala) 1/4...

noobs: 2/4
average: 1/4
Above average: 1/4

That would be..1/2 of 1/4.
1/8 of the Halo community.
WOOT!

Maybe, next time I should post an anti-shee tut for the 7/8 of the Halo community. *srsly*
But 4 parts out of 7 probably wouldn't read it.
Meh.

i'm sorry but
using sniper at long range owns it >_>
then use pistol at medium to close

but of course you must own with the sniper to do that

[xxxshooter]

it'd be good if you could be able to kill the driver with one sniper shot to the open part in the back

(like in the book!)

[Shodos]

I take slight offense at the "metal-heads" comment, but I'm pretty sure you likely weren't talking about my mod.

Nice work, Veen!

You know.."metal-heads"..MJOLNIR..armor...d-uh..

hey um... slight problemo
map crashes when I attempt to host, but works fine if I join an internet game. wut?

Does anyone else have this problem?
I'll test it out. You sure you don't have some other corrupted bitmaps file inside your maps folder or something? o.O

bitmaps are fine, I do believe hm.

eh, den't matter it makes no sense that it'd crash.

Ehehe.

The sniper, (Lisa if I'm not mistaken) is a freaking hardcore, nitrogen-cold, imba-haxzorz sniper that can outstare you in a staring contest, pwn your ass in hide and seek, and probably save that same ass sniping pilots out of banshees in mid-flight.

TRY DOING THAT! HAH!
XD

[>Shadow<]

You should see the sniper AI I've made in my "Timberland Siege" mod. Those badasses are so damn smart and function well in units.

[Fuel]

yea the ai i made of the spartans O_o
way too good Lol

Under combined fire from multiple Sniper Rifles, or when the pilot has their shields down, you're correct in your statement. In practically any other event (excluding the rare shots to the feet of the pilot), however, you'll just waste ammo. Every Sniper Rifle shot at the fuselage of the Banshee takes about 1/4 of the pilot's shield. This means that you'd waste one clip out of 3 just taking the shields down. Then, it takes another four shots to actually kill the person.

Using the Pistol with short, controlled bursts is usually your best long-to-medium range weapon against the Banshee.

Listen to the Green Beret.

[Shodos]

plasma rifle and shotgun :]
if you don't have a pistol handy

the shotgun when they try and ram you.

but you all know this! lets think of more creative ways to kill a banshee, as opposed to the tried and true functional ways.

such as making an exploding flashlight, and kamikaze.

[Fuel]

one clip of sniper
then switch to pistol >_>
1 clip is worth it

[SilentChaos16]

*meh* the shee is good but taking out the rocket wtf. rocket = skill cuz u hafe to kill to get it the run over thing is good
