I was playing The Great Journey today, and I was up to that bit where you are guiding the Scarab. We'd gotten to the control room, and you know how that Elite in the Banshee lands on the shore? Well the Banshee had gold plates on it! It wasn't a Heretic Banshee. It had these Forerunner-ish golden plates all over it.
It was pretty cool = )

You can't tell he's obviously lying so you need pics?

It is a Heretic Banshee. It just looks a little different because you aren't in the middle of a storm. The contrast between the Banshee color and the landscape is much different so you can see the Banshee with more detail.

Shameless plug for my blog:

Check it!

yea ive found a heretic banshee in the great journey as well, accept it was down at the part at the end where the two wraiths attack. Underneath the cliff. I have no idea why the thing appeared but this guy isnt lying. I saw it at a different part though.... At the time i was pushing one of the hunters who is your ally in that level so that it would help me with the fight lol. Hehehe, also in that level you can push the first two hunters to the second pair of hunters and you can have all four hunters help you fight. You can totally kick the crap out of the brutes with them lol.

Don't be too swift to accuse him of lying; not in this case anyway.

Using the object overload (O.O) process, it's possible to browse, or scan, through an object's textures like characters, vehicles, boxes etcetera. You change, or see, a different colour design by changing your viewing angle.

I won't going into detail about how to see other textures, however, I will say that, on The Great Journey map, there is a fire light texture for the Banshee; there is fire inside the Control Room after the entrance door is destroyed, and, that texture exists on the map for that reason. If you manage to see this light effect outside, or anywhere bright, it'll look like the Banshee is gold. It's not only the Banshee that has that light effect, it's the Wraith, Phantom, Brutes and pretty much anything else.

It's rare, however, sometimes you'll experience light or texture glitches during the game without an object overload; a dirty or damaged disc may be the cause of this. Perhaps, your sighting, occured for this reason. Interestingly aswell, the only place the fire light texture can be seen is, outside of the Control Room; this is where you were.

If were experiencing any colour glitches during the game, this'll explain why you saw a gold Banshee; it isn't exactly gold however, it's a fire orange, yellowish colour.

Noteworthy: If you use the object overload to browse textures, you can change a Covenant Banshee into a Heretic one; not permanently though. Other, unseen colour schemes can be witnessed aswell.

Anywise, Digi7, was the Banshee more of a fire glowing light effect rather than gold?

I did that before its real ...


If you're being sarcastic, then you're knowledge of glitches is lacking. Go check out HIH.
Posted by:Havok Se7en
It's there. All you have to do is ride the Scarab all the way over there (once it startts moving) and will be there once you've stopped.

Huh?

There's no gold Banshee. What Digi7 saw, if he was telling the truth, was a lighting glitch.

It's not a glitch, it's there. I've seen it before.

I can't actually visit HIH anymore. An idiotic administrator made a really poor decision and permanently banned my IP address from the site.

It's probably the Heretic Banshee anyway.

In the Heretic Journey place, that gold stuff probably came from all the dust from the storm. If not then I don't believe the topic starter.

  • 07.19.2007 12:16 PM PDT

Through my vague memories, yes I remember a heretic banshee in this level.

Yeah, if you do wait for awhile at the beach then elites start to pop-up. Also more banshees come up.

Also, if you rush the Great Journey mission and just quickly try to get everything over with, then when the scarab stops at the beach, you get in your banshee and star the fly around the left mountain and you'll see the coventent ship still fighting the hunters.

Cool.

Now how about those gold plated spinners on my warthog?

But seriously, cool find. I'm working through the game again and I plan to finish the Great Journey soon. Looking forward to trying this.

Dude, it's one of those egg sort of things in the game. Get over it. It's been found. Head over to HIH and check it out. Not a texture error. That should be solved now. If you missed it,

Bungie put that in there on purpose. Old news, but still, good job finding it.
