For me;

1) Banshees are so weak once you take down their barriers. They just stand there going herp derp. If you have a team that concentrates fire on them they go down so quickly. Gotta say this event has lessened my fear of Banshees. 

2) How few people know how to execute a hack circle objective against Reapers when Banshees are in the Wave (especially wave 10). Most of the groups I've been in have tried to hold the circle while the Banshees come in instead of trying to kite the Banshees around the map. Now the former approach may work if you have some real heavy hitting classes on your squad, but most of the time (from what I've seen) it just leads to rocket spamming.

Actually, I've found the opposite with Banshees thanks to Broadside.

Previously, I believed as you put. Be rid of their Barrier & they're a laughing stock but now?

Step 1) Get rid of their Barrier.
Step 2) Start working on their Armour.
Step 3) Realise that no matter what I press, their armour isn't going past the 40% remaining mark.
Step 4) Keep wailing on her until, finally, her immortality runs out & she dies soon after.

I don't know what's been happening but for the life of me I wish it wouldn't...

I learned not to use medi-gel if banshee is near you. She will insta-kill as soon as you get up. While you are immune to the damage.

- Tactical geniuses aren't.
- A team of biotics doesn't help you if 3/4 of them are idiots without mics.

I didn't learn anything new, but the event has been a reaffirmation that the majority of the Gold community on 360 really should be playing Bronze.

Where you playing as a Biotic? Can't say I experienced this. On the teams where we had focused fire on Banshees, their armour went down pretty quickly. Although I guess stuff like equipment and debuffs like Tactical Scan and Prox Mines played a part as well.

Phoenix Adept, yeah.

GSMG with AP Ammo - no damage;
Smash with Armour Damage - no damage;
Lash - no damage;
In total - no damage.

It seemed no one else was damaging them either (despite everyone focusing them) once they got to about 40%, as they stayed there, carried on fighting, getting wailed on, until eventually they dropped below the mark & started to die again.

That even though you're playing Reapers, people still try to camp the bottom room in firebase white as if they're fighting Geth...then they panic when the banshees teleport in... :-p

 Noobs don't know how to camp on certain maps. And they just made me lose on wave 9. that little L pipe is NOT a good place to camp.

I think they buffed the banshees for this operation, theyre usually easier to take down than that geth prime.

1) I am far luckier than I assumed (First game and I got a full extraction)
2) When playing a class that lacks a dodge, stay as far away from Banshees as possilbe
3) Don't get pissed off at the Asari that won't detonate my primed targets chooses to prime them his/herself
4) Try to protect the weaker teammates while using them as decoys
5) A lot of Infiltrators suck... bad

I think you can tell pretty early on whether your team is going to get an extraction or not against Reapers.

If your squad-mates are running away from the first Banshee that appears, your probably not getting very far.

I find that an interesting comment.  Who "deserves" it more, the gold player who does this everyday or the bronze/silver player who is working way out of their comfort zone and contributes to the victory.  I'm not arguing, just sayin'....

To be honest though.. I got stabbed (sync-killed) 3 or 4 times in that one game. I've never gotten magnetized, I just got too close.
