"Replaced Banshees with Falcons in all non-Invasion gametypes on Breakpoint."

I am so excited! I loved the Warthog action on Breakpoint, but now there's Falcons? What am I going to choose?

As if we didn't see that coming. Nice job, Black Knight.

Am pleased.

Yay! Another Falcon map! Yay!

Another Falcon map!

YAY! ::falcon::

I don't mind the switch to Falcons and least I'll be able to pilot them instead of failing in the banshee.

Man that would be fun to fly the Falcon but might make it even easier to hog on which would be cool. Wish they would change out the Scorpion and Banshee on Pardeso (sp) to make it a little easier to hog on.

Can they at least take out some of the two plasma launchers, two sniper rifles, laser, grenade launcher, three sets of rockets, focus rifle and plasma pistols? Seems like a falcon is just going to be a high flying triple kill.

Better than having a banshee flying around that can dodge all of that & grease our spawns to an Unfrigginbelievable, IMHO.

Plasma Launcher

I'm really glad the Banshee is gone, but that's the easiest Triple Kill of all time

What's the matter with the guys designing weapon layouts?

Easy triple kill? I think not!

I'm with RJ. There's wayyyyy to many power weapons on maps in Reach. And the vehicles are too easy to kill.

I am glad for the change though, I'll enjoy it. I hope we find a way to track falcon stats.

I think this is a good change. The Falcon is just as deadly but requires at least two people to work. It's not as maneuverable as the banshee so you still have to rely on your friends on the ground to take out things like rockets or laser or plasma launcher, but is not such a one man terror that one person can just go nuts and carry the rest of the team.

Also with two or three sets of eyes it still has a very good chance of dodging or evading issues, and if smartly flown can still be a force to be reckoned with. See Spire (which has just as many power weapons) for details.
