*Banshees are seen in the three part series [[Halo: Landfall]]. They seem to fly much faster than in ''Halo 3'', often performing strafing runs, and its weapons seem to do more damage. The plasma projectiles seem to also travel much faster. This may be to add the illusion of fast-paced action, similar to how camera movements appear to add realism to visual media, mostly in battlefield-themed media. This could also be a gameplay measure. | *Banshees are seen in the three part series [[Halo: Landfall]].

*A lightly recurring theme throughout the series is players ''almost'' dying in vehicle crashes, mainly in the Banshee. In [[The Maw]], when the [[John-117]] enters the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, the Banshee he is riding crashes into the side of the ship, much to [[Cortana]]'s annoyance. Midway through ''[[Halo 2]]'''s [[The Oracle]], the [[Thel 'Vadamee|Arbiter]] crashes his Banshee into a platform, only to climb up unscathed, just as the Chief did. | *A lightly recurring theme throughout the series is players ''almost'' dying in vehicle crashes, mainly in the Banshee.

*In the novel ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', a Banshee is capable of carrying [[Master Chief]] and a second [[SPARTAN-II]], [[Linda-058]]; this Banshee is incorrectly referred to as having "cockpit seats". In addition, [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] and [[Yayap]] rode in a Banshee together in [[Halo: The Flood]], whilst escaping the battle for [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]]. In all the games, a Banshee can only carry one person. | *In the novel ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', a Banshee is capable of carrying [[John-117|Master Chief]] and a second [[SPARTAN-II]], [[Linda-058]]; this Banshee is incorrectly referred to as having "cockpit seats".
