Subject: Banshee glitch?

I was playing on the second mission, right after you crash land on Halo. I disposed of the ground forces and crossed the brige, the two Banshees flew over the mountain. After destroying the first one that attacked me, I looks at the second one, and for no reason, the Elite died and fell out of the cockpit. The Banshee was still intact. I ran over to it and was able to flip it, but not fly it.

It's funny how I just discovered this new glitch for myself after eight years. Has it happened to anyone else too?

Happened to me just once. Thought I won the lottery and coud fly up to the highest tower and scope everything with the Sniper rifle. Damned thing was totall intact, but inert. I spent a good ten minutes hitting the X-button trying to board the damned thing. I was disgusted.

I think in Halo once an enemy boards and flies a banshee it becomes impossible to fly by you... do not quote me however. I am just assuming.

It really pissed me off. I was thinking about just flying the Banshee all over the place, killing all Covenant in sight. I even thought you had to drive the Warthog first. So I went down to the first band of marines, killed the Covenant, drove back to the Banshee, and I still couldn't fly it.

I was also playing on Legendary so it took me a good twenty minutes just to be disappointed.

Yep. Happened to me years ago. After spending a ton of time trying to snipe the driver's visible hoofs, he somehow killed himself by running into trees. Wasn't nearly as disappointing as the unboardable Banshees on "Delta Halo" or "Covenant," though.

I can't remember how many times I tried to sucker Banshees in close on Delta Halo and be disappointed to not being able to jack the pilots out of their rides. Seriously wasted hours on that gambit.
