There's been a few people that have had a tough time with getting the Banshee through the tunnel. Let's face it, most want to get that gun in Single Player, get back down with the gun and get a save for it, forever. Now there's a different way and it's almost too easy. You just ride an elevator up and then ride it back down while holding the gun. All you need is Sputnik and 2 frags.

A text tut is really hard too explain because getting up involves attaching a Ghost to the second Headquarters Pelican (w/tank) and riding up to the bridge, then jumping off and getting the gun and then hop back on the elevator to go down (then save) and create mayhem.

You would not believe me if I just told you that in order to do this Ghost trick you have to park the Ghost on the Pelican, then jump up and down 4 or 5 times on the nose of the Ghost to make it stick. You will know it is stuck/attached to the Pelican because the Pelican will automatically start to rise when you get in. There are a few people here who know all about the Ghost/Pelican trick thing so they can back me up.

For the novice to launching, the Ghost launch you attempt is only a 1 frag grenade to the roof of HQ and it's not very high. The other Ghost launch is also a 1 frag grenade to land on the parked Pelican and that is not very high either. This will be a good opportunity to learn the easiest launch because you will have a checkpoint at each launch so you can launch over and over real quick like.

Here's a tutorial to clarify the details:

I'll explain more if anyone asks and have fun.

Sweet mother of pearl.
I have to laugh at the "Very Easy" description, cause I can see myself careening in all directions and failing massively. Please tell me you've got a website or some storage location for all your stuff, Grumpy.
Ridiculously great.

The Sputnik skull allows you to launch higher and further. Less gravity or something.

Nestegg, all my vids are either on Filefront (Grumpy1) or YouTube (ZGrumpy2). There's about 250 all together.

Thanks for the comps guys, I hope the new players will mess with this. Just get a CP just before you launch like I show, then you can launch every 5 seconds or so and just keep reverting each time a launch does not work.

One thing I forgot to say is sometimes the Pelican will refuse to budge so if that happens you will haver to start over. It happens maybe 1 time out of 10.

OMG

Stosh <3's me vicariously... at least someone does...

I'm pretty sure most people could figure out how to get the Banshee through in the amount of time it took your pelican to move up and down.

Yeah and I'm pretty sure some people have given up on the Banshee and written to me asking for help. So I obliged.

Nice job. I like your method.

Thanks man, the Ghost thing is a killer trick thought up by my good friend RandomCTG at HIH. It can be used anywhere there is a Ghost and a Pelican that you can freeze. All I did was raise it up to get the gun.

On Outskirts, if you freeze Sarge and the Pelican, you can raise it up a little, then knock the Ghost off (so it doesn't make the Pelican sink). Then run around past the Hotel Zanzibar to the tunnel, jump up on the tunnel roof and turn left and go down to where enemies have been spotted. The Pelican will be sitting there by the enemies because the first map overlaps the second map in that area.

Wow, that is one cool trick, is it possible to "ghost pilot" other pelicans? Or do they have to be frozen/still?

You can freeze other Pelicans. On DH you can freeze the Pelican that drops off the tank and the one that comes when you are on the Envy map. I'll have to do some research to remember how to do the freezing. I know it has to do with going back through loadzones and such. I'll try and remember other levels also.

Good work Grumpy. I've always wanted to fly a Pelican.
