Yes before my very eyes a guy flying a Banshee actually landed and gave the flag carrier his Banshee to make the run to home. WOW! I actually saw team play! A BIG  to the team minded Banshee flyer whoever you were.

I do that all the time. It is only the polite thing to do.

Yeah, it's happened to me a few times as well and I do it as a matter of course myself. Although, one guy just stood there with the flag and we both got killed before he could jump in the banshee. Maybe he thought I was gonna TK him for the flag or something.

Maybe. But then you would have just run him down.

Anyway, what is with people tking to get a vehicle? One person who was especially bad at this attempted to do so to me but I decided to prevent him from doing so. He then claims he wasn't shooting me. What is wrong with these people?

You know what's truly evil? Crouching under the front of a Banshee, and tossing a plasma nade on the bottom. They'll never know what hit 'em

I am still working on the ducking part. But yeah, people who try to run you down are usually to lazy to avoid plas nades.

If you get one on you though the best way to survive is to get out before the explosion and back in before you hit the ground unless you happen to be close enough not to die.

Sometimes, the person isn't trying to get the vehicle, just get a ride
I often take pot shots at warthogs that are driving away w/out a passenger/gunner to get a ride, and the driver usually stops.  the dual/triple load on a warthog is more efficient anyway, and its just not nice to let someone go into the opposite field without support

Yeah but how do you give a ride to some one in a banshee that you are running towards?

This makes me think that perhaps, until online manners improve (/hell freezes, apparently), it might be better to just fly CAP for the FC, at least if you don't know your teammates.

wow, seems like we'd all have a lot of fun playing on our future, as yet unnamed [MA] server(s), with lots of strategery and whatnot.

and yeah, people online can be pretty dumb/rude. just wish the team chat function had bindable sayings and stuff.

One time I actually ran into our flag carriers vehicle to stop it going off a cliff, it was on gephyrophobia and his truck or ghost (cant remember) kinda crashed and was leaning off the edge, I was in a banshee and came at it from the side, ran into it and set it back on course. That was funny.

Once this division takes off, I think [MA] will have a reputation of having the nicest people playing Halo I gave the flag carrier the first day I got Halo. Death Island, he was warding off attackers from the turret in the enemy base, and I landed right next to him and manned the turret, what a great cap.

Nice. Although I swear if one more "friendly" turret shoots me down trying to get a banshee that I am in a fight with, I will explode.

i would imagine that exploding would play havoc with your online gaming, and thus must strongly suggest that you avoid said explosion at all costs.

I believe we can rely on this nugget o' wisdom... every time I have seen a turret shoot down a Banshee, it has exploded, even before hitting the ground. NAG's oath has the ring of truth.

Apparently NAG's ears are also ringing with the sound of too many Banshees exploding around him...

Wha?

that would greatly aid the [MA] clan in our quest to dominate the world's cookie supply.

cookies? YES!

just when I thought I was playing for fun...
