Just wondering...does anyone know how to get them without using the warthog/grenade pile way? I'll post it if anyone is interested

I have gotten three alltogether. You jump off the first bridge and there is a way to get down on co-op without dieing. If you do this there are no enemies for the rest of the level and there is one banshee on the ground near were all those turrets are. You can then use that one to get one on top of that huge tower thing and one on the last platform of Two Betrayals.

o yeah there are also two on the natural bridge. Just kill elites so there are no pilots for them

It's not that hard, really. You just need to have the right timing. My nephew and I were playing not so long ago, and we were able to get both on the bridge after a couple of tries. I had to run ahead and get into the first banshee while my nephew followed behind and took out the Covenant forces. As soon as I could, I would spin around and shoot the other Elite pilot with the fuel rod cannons, or at least that was how the plan was supposed to go.

What actually happened was that I shot the banshee itself off the bridge, and my nephew fell off and died, so I landed near the other banshee and let him respawn and hop in. Lol. Hey, it worked. ;)

if you get the active camo in the tunnel you can grenade the elite and no one will see you then you jump in the banshee and fly away. This can be done on one player. OR in the large outdoor area where threre are two wraith tanks if you shoot rockets at the little platform way up there it is possible to knock a banshee down and then no more enemies.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

I never play Co-Op. But to get both of them on the bridge, you just need good timing as some have already said, I prefer to use the S2 Sniper Rifle, and head shot the pilots just before they get into them.

Go to where you first get the tank, get a rocket launcher, and go into the next area with the covie tanks. Dont Go into that area through the cave, use the passage to the left of the cave's opening. Anyway when you look up ( while in the middle of that passage ) and youll see a very high up platform; on that platform is an elite and a banshee. pull out your nifty rocket launcher and shoot the bottom of the platform, perhaps a little to the right of the middle. That will cause the banshee to fall down giving one of you a banshee. Keep the banshee and together kill the tank, hunters, go to the next area with the canyon in the middle and the 2 sides with bridges linking them, kill everyone, then when you get to the part where it's a large slope upward ( and when you get to the top a dropship descends on you ) the guy in the banshee is to fly straight up until you get to the top of the middle mountain-thingy where there is another banshee. Get that and push it off the edge for Player2. Ta Da!!

Note: Fly high to the the nest area and land on the farthest bidge on the right hand side, you will have flown over a checkpoint so the enemies for this area will not have spawned in. You can walk through the rest of the level not fighting a single guy. ; )

Kilk's way does work but the shooting the underside of that platform is a bit messy and is quite ard to do because you can't see the Banshee so you don't know where to fire next. Is it ever going to come off? Bit of a waste of rockets too.

The other way is to come into the chasm in your Scorpion where the 2 Wraiths are. Blow up the first with the tank, take out any immediate threat (like Elites in Ghosts). Go up onto the ledge that looks onto the opening of the tunnel (where the 2 Hunters are). Park the tank on the right and as for off the ledge without falling. Look up to the platform using the Sniper Rifle and you'll see the Banshee. Switch to rocket launcher and fire. It will knock it to the side. Look at the tunnel and you'll see an arrangement of rocks near to the left. Get up there (possible without jumping Scorpion in a Ghost). Look (using sniper rifle) and you'll see the Banshee close to the edge. Fire a rocket at it. Banshee falls off, collect your prize.

From this go through the tunnels with the Banshee and whatever. When you come out of the tunnels (Covenant Dropship) get the Banshee pilot to fly up to the top of the central structure (a reachable area in 'Two Betrayals'). There will be a Banshee nested on the top. Either get the pilot to stop on top and other player die (and respawn on top) or get Banshee pilot to knock the other Banshee off the edge.

Once that is done, both players fly to the end of that Chasm (2 bridges high above). One player stays on the ground (in his Banshee) while the other goes up onto the furthest away bridge, righthand side (in respect to looking at the bridges as you go towards them in the flow of the game). Then he jumps off the edge, dies and respawns on the ground next to the remaining Banshee pilot. The last Banshee pilot does the same and will respawn next to his partner. Now you have 2 Banshees read to use on the bridge. This method can also be used to put the Banshees on the other bridge (after the first bridge battle) so you can use them on the way back.

To carry on the game you may have to walk back a little to trigger the normal flow of the game.

All you have to do is kill the second elete with the first banshee. But you don't have kill the eletes if you get the other three.

Do you mean that you've managed to kill all the pilots so it is possible to fly 5 Banshees or that you've actually managed to get all 5 Banshees together?

I can do AotCR so I kill all the elites so there is 5 pilotable Banshees but I have managed to colect 3 Banshees. I thought getting 2 of the Banshees with the other 3 is quite impossible due to the huge indoor part in the mountainside. Well all together I've managed to collect:

* 1 Warthog
* 1 Scorpion
* 3 Banshees
* 13 Ghosts

All drivable and intact by the way

How ya goin?

in the first couple of entries at the start of this it says that you can get down safe in co-op
but i did it in single as well it took me about 2 hours two do it perfecting it and all i have only done it twice its that hard
its on the other side you do the first cheat and you need the shade(gunturret)
very hard to explain you would have to come over for me to actually explain it typing it is too hard any its an easy way to do AONTCR on legendary
