This is one of the few things I haven't been able to pull off. We all know what you're "supposed to do," but I can't get it to work. The moment I think I've got it, the load eliminates the Banshee. Has anyone lapped this trick; figured out a fool-proof way to ensure success ?

You have to get in the banshee which starts the load. Not just have the banshee go through and load and then get on

No company that uses terms like, head-to-head, man-on-man, action-sack, and mancannon is homophobic.
I supposed that teabagging is.... what, a representation of a new form of colonoscopy?

Ya, board it the second you see the load message.

Yeah, I know a way you don't have to worry about the loadzone at all. All you have to do is make sure you don't damage the wings then just tuck one wing into the tunnel and get in. Here's my YT tut for it: Easy Banshee
And use a Ghost for luring, it's much easier and faster.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.

So you got the Outskirts Scarab gun? Do tell how you got it.

You say there's one on the last level, did you get that one to?

You didn't explain how you got the one on Outskirts.

There is no gun on The Great Journey. That vid has been proven as a modded vid for a long time now, although it still fools people.

It is actually quite simple just keep a Ghost alive when you get to the part with the wraiths and after all the enemys are dead park the Ghost at the 1st door you see after entering the building and as soon as you hit the loading pointupstairs run downstairs get in the Ghost and boost to the Scorpion and get the driver out and get in and move it and sometimes if done perfectly the scarab won`t shoot,The driver marine thinks he has a gun and if he gets on the side seat of the scorpion he will hold a imaginary gun

Yeah, that's a good one. You can also just drive the Ghost up the steps and go straight to the tank, then you have to make the driver get out and then MC enters the tank. That saves the tank.

Another way to save the tank is to kill the driver, then you don't have to race to get in the tank. The best way is to take a rocket launcher and shoot just once at the tank after you go up the steps. This will kill the driver but the tank will survive and the Scarab will not shoot. This one works every time. I think if you drive to the tank, make the driver get out and then kill him, the Scarab will never shoot.

Fun stuff.
