Early Banshee: Difference between revisions

It is possible to fly a [[Covenant]] [[Banshee]] in the level [[Assault on the Control Room (Level)|Assault on the Control Room]]. First of all, make sure you have both the [[SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle|Sniper Rifle]] and the [[M19 SSM (SPNKr) Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]]. Then, when you reach the area where the [[Scorpion Tank|Sporpion]] tank is, finish off all of the [[Covenant]] forces. After clearing the area of all hostiles, leave the Scorpion alone or get out of it if you used it in the clearing effort. Next, walk down the small hill and look up while doing so. You should then notice a small rock bridge followed by a small platform coming out from the canyon wall. Keep walking slowly until you get a perfectly clear view of the platform. Take out your Sniper Rifle, zoom in all the way, and try to aim at the middle part of the platform. Then, without moving, switch to your Rocket Launcher and fire. The end result (if your aim was perfect) is the Banshee that would have been used against you by a Covenant [[Elites (Sangheili)|Elite]] should tumble to the canyon floor. This may take a few tries and some re-aiming, but this can work. You can actually use the Banshee, so have a blast and take advantage of a time saving hint later on. This trick can really come in handy in a CO-OP [[Campaign]]. Imagine it: your buddy and four [[Marine|Marines]] in the Scorpion and you in the Banshee providing air support (or vice-versa).
