The banshee is a one-man flying assault vehicle that can fly like an airplane and hover like helicopter. It carries two armaments; dual plasma cannons, similar to those on the Ghost, and a Fuel Rod Gun similar to those carried by Spec Ops grunts and molded into the arms of Hunters.
The Banshee is supposedly powered by "anti gravity pods" located on the ends of the wings. From footage in recent television advertisements, it seems likely that the handling characteristics of Banshees have been somewhat altered since Halo 1.

Aerial Manuevers
Also, the banshee is capable of in-flight barrel rolls and flips, but the "banshee bomb" or fuel rod cannon is not available in multiplayer.

Are you sure?
In reply to: Aerial ManueversHow do you know this?
I didn't think anyone had played (or even seen) a Banshee in any Halo 2 multiplayer demos, aside from the one Ascension screenshot and the journalists who visited Bungie earlier this month.

fuel rod cannon
We have accidently had the banshee fire the fuel rod cannon a few times in multiplayer, but can't figure out how we did it. Is this a glich that we should not be able to fire it, or is there a trick to firing it?

Firing fuel rod cannons on Banshee
In reply to: fuel rod cannonIf I am not mistaken you have to press the "b" button to fire the fuel rod cannons in the Banshee.

banshee boarding
if a banshee swoops down you can board from under the "wing". a more complicated manuever is "park" on top of the other banshee so it doesn't fall off and exit then board. another way is to be in front and higher. then you drop out and land on top not falling off unless they do an aerial manuever and then you board. from the side you just look like you hold onm then open the top and jump in replacing the person and from the back, you hang onto the wing flip up then board

its to balance out things so someone in a banshee doesn't come along and fuel rod opponents to death and kill wraiths and scorpions so easy
