Halo not just a game but a way of life

i actually did it once but i am sure i cant do it again. just use the sniper rifle and you need a lot of patience.

yes it is. i was trying to knock it off the cliff in assault on the control room, but i was on a small screen so i couldn't see it, so i just went ahead and lett the elite get in. so i started shooting it with my pistol and it suddenly fell, unharmed to the ground right next to the dead elites body. i've only done it twice but just aim for the back and you might get lucky.

Shooting an Elite out of a Banshee [color=white] IS [/color] possible but extremely hard to pull off.

I managed to do it twice in Halo (level 2) and once in Assault on the Control Room

With all due respect for your opinions, I don't think it's possible. I tried it multiple times with the sniper rifle and it didn't work, so I thought my aim was just off. Then I froze a Banshee on Assault On Control Room and tried it. The bullet hit the Elite's foot but didn't hurt him at all. Same when I tried it on co-op.

I once shot one of the elites out of the banshee on the second mission but it landed in the river and rolled of the waterfall i was so damn pissed.

I had the same thing happen as Fallen Seraph... right at the beginning of the Halo mission. My situation was in multiplayer, though that had nothing to do with how I did it. It was pretty much by accident, with the "kill" shot happening with a pistol. I don't remember if I had a plasma pistol to use first or not.

In theory, I think the best way would be hitting the rear of a banshee with a charged plasma shot then finishing off with pistol.

I was unable to get into the banshee for the same reason as Fallen Seraph.

I've never been able to repeat it.
