No.

No it wouldn't.

Not ever.


What's wrong with killing Banshees? Phantoms go down like nothing. Banshees can be a challenge.


Nothing as a rule, but it gets annoying when I have to use up one of my precious cobra missiles just to save a suicidal Krogan because he thought it was a good idea to headbutt the damn thing.



maybe this krogan's name was Beavis?


but seriously, the idiotic krogan players that thing they can melee a banshee end up ruining extraction or making the odds in the enemy's favor. I don't know why people have to be so stupid >.<



Tell me about it, has there been an influx of idiots this past week? Cus I seemed to have been teamed up with them. At the start of the week I had 45 Medi Gel, 180 Cobra missiles and 80 Ops survival pack things, now I have 0 Medi Gel, 0 Ops packs and 15 missiles. I've ended up fighting waves single handedly (only on silver, on gold - no way), teamates die in stupid places, other stupid teamates try to revive them also getting killed in the process and as you said, trying to melee armoured things and being suprised when they get killed. I was playing a game the other day on Gold and, I swear to God, this guy (playing as a Salarian engineer) was firing at this Geth Prime then he decides to get out of cover, puposfully run towards the thing and try to melee it to death, what I was thinking is not repeatable on here. I've also had a person yell at me for stealing kills when the Phantom in question was just about to kill the guy.
I am by no means amazing at the game but if these people just played with some common sense I would be very happy.


The Krogan who dies in melee with a banshee is doing it wrong. I make a policy of not charging until 1/2 armor bar or less. And that's ALWAYS in rage, with a Claymore + Melee attachment, usually with an inferno grenade to initiate. Krogan Soldier Urdnot Rekk has a quad. Do you?

P.S. Never been OHK by a Banshee doing this.

such as the "stealing money" glitch

the "host player left and instead of restarting the current wave we just exit you from the match" glitch

the "relocking items" glitch

the "doing the animation for throwing a grenade but not actually throwing the grenade" glitch

the "your host exited the match so you lost all of your consumables" thing that everyone hates

the "banshee grabs you from halfway across the map and kills you" glitch

oh and let's not forget the "brute knocks you under the map" glitch that happens every now and then.


- The Banshee long-distance grab? Lag.
- Brute knockdown below map? Never heard of it, but that does sound like a bug not connected to lag.
- Doing animation but not throwing grenade? Most probably lag.
- Host exits and you get kicked out? You lost connection to server, nothing else. Possibly on EA's end, but most probably your end.
- Glitched buying of packs? Yeah, a big glitch, that one.
- Host exited match and you lost all consumables? Never heard of that one, but it does sound like a big one.

Some of those you listed are problems on your end, with your internet. Not BioWare/EA.


Banshee grabbing you from the other side of the map is NOT lag...
How can it be lag if you're on giant, at the TOP of the ramp next to the control room and it spawns next to the LZ...you shoot...next thing you know you're accross the map getting her hand inserted into your gut...not lag...mega glitch...mega bad glitch...

I personally enjoy unsing a krogan sent, w/ Claymore and blade with rage and taking down a brute on my own in gold...but if there's ANYTHING else around...i'm screwed as soon as the thing falls...so i stay back instead.
Grenade, melee, shotgun, melee, he's dead. but a SALARIAN?!? Not even meant to melee in the first place... >,>

Yes, it is lag. Unless it happens when you host. But then it might still be lag.
What you see on the screen and what really happens isn't always the same. Lag is the reason that Banshee grabs you from far away. Unless you have documented proof that it isn't lag (Which I doubt you have).
Ever shot an enemy in the head, but he hasn't taken any damage and then proceeds to rip you to pieces even though you were in cover? Also lag, since the server knows the enemy is beside you, while you think the enemy is on the other side of the cover.

I don't think it would be Phantoms because they're not as creepy or demonic. Banshees are also much more annoying and harder to kill. Also, why are people complaining, it's kind of good that this is happening because now the missions will be more in depth and the rewards will be that much sweeter... hopefully.

Two adepts working together can take down a banshee in 10-15 secs.....no missiles are necessary :)

1 really lucky batarian can take out a banshee. The bal. blades stun when it tries to chrage up or go in for the insta kill. 

I had to do that by myself with a non modifed revenant.....GG

With a Krogan or Batarian, I will melee a banshee if it is grabbing one of my teammates. Phantoms and banshees should not be melee'd unless you have no other choice.

On topic, maybe we could fight a Harvestor?

Nah... they're not in the MP, bro.

And on bronze, meleeing phantoms with Krogan and Banshees at the LAST POSSIBLE second is FUN!

I know, I am just hoping for something interesting.

Also, were those "cool new features" on masseffect.com and the Alliance News Network every released? Beside the Batarian medi-gel update; It was funny, but not what I was hoping for..

So, you're trying to tell me...that when i'm on bronze...solo, and a banshee spawns on the OPPOSITE END OF THE MAP on giant...i shoot with a sniper...and then my character suddenly is flying across the map right onto a banshee's arm...thats lag?
Are you stupid? Or are you too stuck up to admit you are mistaken?
I know they've had issues with lag, like the situation you mentioned, THAT is lag. but when YOUR character goes flying across a map...thats not lag...its called a glitch.

There, I bolded a part of my original message. Where I'm saying it might not be lag. I added that it might still be lag, because I've never heard of it before and have never encountered it before. So naturally I assume it is lag.
Also, just because you are host doesn't mean there won't be lag. But if the Banshee is the only enemy able to to something like that, then yes, it is a glitch.
I am sorry if I came across as nonchalant. I've never heard of this happening before, so I assumed it was lag (worse things has happened during lag), but since it wasn't I apologize.

I only said it might be lag, not that it wasn't anything else. :P Just that lag was the most reasonable (to me), because I assumed you were exagerating when saying it was from the other side of the map.
So, again, I kind of apologize for not believing you.

Well...just because you never heard of it...doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

A few decades ago people had never heard of communicating through something called an internet...doesn't mean it didn't happen. ;)

Word to the wise, don't assume....cuz as one of my favorite jokes goes...when you A-S-S-U-M-E-, you make an A-S-S- out of U and M-E

It's easier for an adept. Stasis + headshot = Head pops like exploding fruit.

EDIT (Yajuu Omoi): Asari Adept**


Okay, true. so its not the EASIEST way to kill it,..
but the point being, on bronze, you don't need to wait to melee a phantom...you just need to know what your characters strenghts are, Krogans and batatians have very effective melees when on bronze.

you people out there complaining about this do realize that they really don't have to do any of this. All these extras are a BONUS, and you should be glad that they support the game so well. I've seen other companys that don't go half as far to keep their fans happy.


Going to have to agree with this one. Even other EA owned companies do not do this this for their MP. The only other game that I am aware of is Halo Reach.

I like the whole PVE and weekly challenges but can we get something like a PVP N7 Arena type. Just throwing it out there may be good for business.
