Reach Banshees | |

In Response To: Re: Maybe due to grenade chasing? (JonnyOThan) : A full-blown biped represents a LOT of object memory. But presumably it represented a lot of memory also in H1. And yet, there we had the splendid satisfaction of seeing an Elite go flying out of the destroyed Banshee. : We were way over budget with real banshee pilots on Exodus. I forget how many Banshees play an integral (rather than cosmetic) part in Exodus, but in Winter Contingency (a level I'm properly familiar with) and Firefight maps, Banshees don't occur in high numbers, and I wouldn't have thought there would be a pressing need to omit pilots, when weighed up against all the other personnel about the place. If an unusually Banshee-rich level triggered a decision to omit pilots completely, that just wouldn't seem a good decision to me. And as for such a level, perhaps something could've been done to fix things acceptably, though that's another matter of course. From your answer, I take it that Reach Banshees were not meant to be a covie drone design then, and pilots were omitted purely out of memory concerns. But in that case, the lack of a pilot flying out on destruction doesn't just reduce the satisfaction level, it also badly damages realism. Every time you blow one of those things up, you get the discrepancy of a missing pilot.
