This weekend was pretty fun. I spent Saturday evening playing Halo 2 with one of my good friends. Together I’d say we can inflict some pain on other online gamers playing Halo.

I have to admit, there is no greater compliment from the opposing team after a match than hearing them yell “Banshee Bitch!!!!” into the mic. They’re so aggravated and its so gratifying. The Banshee is a hovering plane of sorts that shoots laser blasts. Ascension is a level that lets EmpoweredAxis and I take advantage of the Banshee and the potential mayhem it will cause in our hands. From the skies of the level we can call out the location of the opposing team members and hit them from all angles distracting them from our teammates on the ground gunning them down. The rain of lasers acts like tracer rounds painting our target for our teammates.

The energy weapons on the Banshee disable shields rather quickly and a gunshot to the head seals the coffin and reinforces aggravation.

Considering EmpoweredAxis and I get “teambaits” as we affectionately call them 80% of the time, putting the smack down with Banshee tactics every 100 matches or so is really really gratifying.
