Subject: Impossible to save the Pelican on first bridge of AotCR

I was hoping that maybe, if I could down the Banshee before it crippled the Pelican dropping Johnson and company off at the bottom of the gorge, I could significantly alter gameplay.
It's pretty easy to affix a sticky on the nose of the Banshee when it dives on you and kill it before it can attack the Pelican, but the Pelican still does its thing and crashes after dropping off the marines. I've also tried to alter the position of the warthog by fragging it from the bridge above to change gameplay, No matter what I do, it always ends up on its side behind the grove of trees at the end of the gorge.
The shade can be turned over with frags and the grunt will be standing next to it when you come out of the doorway though.
Anybody able to change gameplay or done things to try with this or other areas?

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

The banshees don't spawn as in-game units they are there for show. You can't kill them because they don't exist as far as the game is concerned.

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!

find a way down and explore or you could ghost slide through some locked doors

The Pelican doesn't actually end up crashing there. It's a different ship. The working dropship flies off into the sky somewhere or something. But I still haven't been able to get down there without following the linear path.

Apparently there is a way to go down the cliff face without dying. I have tried many times and never been able to do it. From what I understand it comes in very handy if you want to do some major changing of how the rest of the level plays out. If you can manage to get down, I know you can get all the way to the next entrance back up into the cliffs and all the vehicles will be there. This allows you to move all of the vehicles to different spots and they will stay where you left them. It does not change spawning patterns. Once you have moved things and created general chaos, you can go back up to the bridge and start playing again. I have not attempted it in a long time, and seeing as my CE disk wont load now, I do not see me trying it any time soon!

If your on pc just activate the deathless code in Dev and then you cant die but once the pelican goes down so far it disapears.

There is a way down the cliff face, it's done when you get to the first bridge and Cortana mentions something about the snow and weather on Halo.
You have to fall down off the left side of the bridge (your left as you come out of the door onto the bridge). There is a small ledge which is your first landing, from there it is very difficult to fall down correctly and land such that you end up sliding down and taking almost no damage. If you don't hug the wall and slide down you will die from falling too far. You actually want to take a little damage because it means that you are hitting enough flat surfaces to keep from dieing.
