Maybe due to grenade chasing?
Posted By: RocksliderDate: 10/18/12 2:08 p.m.

In Response To: So that's no accident (scarab)


: Some bright spark took the time to put in this feature that only a few people
: ever noticed.

I'm not yet convinced that Banshees are purposefully snuffing out plasmas, despite how much it looks like it. Rather than being a feature deliberately added, it might be a consequence of something else, as follows. In some situations a Banshee will chase a grenade you threw, and suicidally go up close, nose down, as if to investigate it. With a snuff-out, perhaps the Banshee is simply engaging in such grenade chasing behaviour; and the subseqent disappearance of the grenade might be due to some glitch.

I've never been sure why grenade chasing happens, but Narcogen thought about it once.

: And Banshees will push your vehicle around until you are
: ejected. Do they still do that? I can't remember it happening outside of
: the original game.

I can't recall experiencing it in H3. And Reach Banshees are just awful, but that's another story. Quite apart from their ugly stubby appearance, they wander around semi-aimlessly and don't even seem to have pilots. Are they actually meant to be unmanned (i.e. a covie drone design), or was the lack of pilots some sort of technical failing on Bungie's part?
