In Response To: Mad Banshees (Rockslider) Heh. Fun stuff as always, Rockslider. :) : Have you ever seen Banshees go squash-crazy or chase after a grenade like a : dog after a stick? You soon will when you lead them into areas outside the : valley in the latter part of Halo's level 2. By letting them chase your : Warthog, you can lead them into any of the three survivor areas, the : interior waterfall area, or down the underground tunnel all the way back : to the light-bridge area. They seem to lose their normal attacking style. : They tend to stay at ground level and skim along trying to squash you; and : they'll push your Warthog around if you're in it. Throw a grenade and they : go chasing after it for a closer look! Not a good idea. : Read all about this weird behaviour and the fun you can have with it, in Mad : Banshees , the latest chunk of level 2 fun at Bad Cyborg . : I'm at a loss to explain these behaviours (which can also be seen in level 5 : if you lead a Banshee to the underground bridge area) and I find the : grenade-chasing thing especially baffling. Any ideas? : I bumped into all this weirdness when developing the Banshee battle : engineering I posted about recently. In that piece you'll find two : changes, now that I've posted about the weirdness. The section 'Off the : beaten track' has been expanded, and there's an extra paragraph in the bit : where I describe battling inside the underground tunnel.
