A couple of weeks ago I was playing AotCR on legendary. I was closing in on the last part of the level were you have to make it across the bridge that has the two banshees parked on it while the Wraith fires at you. My health and ammo were sucking so after a few deaths I decided to have some balls and make a run for the banshee. I mange to steal the 'shee and fly off to cause destruction. After about, oh, 10 minutes of flying around, destorying absolutly EVERYTHING ( Tank, ghosts, turrets, everything that moved) I circled back to the bridge and doubled checked to make sure everything was dead. All clear.

Here's the strange part. And keep in mind my Banshee had only lost one health bar. I decided to pick up some ammo off the bridge. I landed my banshee down and hopped out. The second my feet hit the ground, the damn banshee exploded for no reason I could see, killing me.

Yeah.. Was that just a glitch or what?

Land mine? Lol. There were times when I would survive a blast from a wraith tank while in a banshee only to fall out when gently (well, sort of) bumping into a wall and dying. Airbags so strong they knock you out of the vehicle . . . Either that or the plasma left a large hole in the floorboard. ;)

I could understand why you would fall out of a banshee if you collided into something at an angle, similar to being thrown out of a warthog when rolling too hard, but exploding as soon as you land . . . ? Hmmmm . . .

Maybe someone was watching you? Like The Gaurdians or something, maybe they just wanted you dead. lol

Well the Tank was destoryed and I landed the banshee to a stop on the bridge before jumping out. I'm still baffled by it. I guess the guardians really don't like me. But then I got past that part the old fashion way and found it much more fun snipping from the long post that leads up to the middle of the pyramid structure.
