Halo: Reach Discussion

Is it just me, or do the wings (if you can even call them that...stabilizers?) look like they're on adjustable joints? Maybe they move into the horizontal position when you get a certain height off the ground

If you look, the Banshee have had those in one form or another since halo 1, they just never actually served much use before.

At first I fucking hated the new look, now I love it. Though I'd like the wings longer and thinner.

no joints here

It looks like the bastard child of a Banshee and a Ghost.
Maybe it's the angle.

The new look makes WAY more sense to me. I always wondered how those pairs of twigs/wings from the original games actually carried anything. Also, actual guns on the front! Woo!

The top... door, thing, does look a bit goofy though. Wonder why they de-smoothed it?

Well don't Banshees still use anti-gravity technology like the Ghost and literally every ship? My bet is that they are just stabilizers, like Kornman said.

The only thing confusing me is...where's the thrusters?

He showed a screenshot of the Halo 3 banshee. I don't think you can compare it to Halo 1's banshee diffuse..

Stfu before i mention 'water'.

I think the new 'old' banshee design is KICK ASS. Although i dont get it in the whole scheme of things... as time has illegedely progressed in the Halo-verse.... shits got alot more dumbed down over time.
Like all the halo reach assets are kick ass complicated detail-wise and Halo 1 is starting to look more 'nintendo' than a game set before its later release prequal.

Of course the Reach assets have more detail, they couldn't do that back in Halo 1. If they could have they would have. The covenant and human technology definitely looks like it progresses chronologically even if there were different engine limitations.
