In the first part of the level where the dropship comes and searches your life boat, there are 2 banshees that fly around as support and shoot at you. And today I somehow managed to shoot the Elite out of the banshee and still keep the banshee working. I was able to "Press X to flip Banshee" and after that I couldn't get into the Banshee to fly around. If anyone has done this or has any thoughts, they'd be greatly appreciated.

YES!!!! It happened again! :) yes that can happen, my friend did it once but as usual, you can't get into it. What weapon were you using? Pistol I guess? I wonder if Bungie has an explanation for this error because it only seems to happen on that level.

Another time there was only one banshee, I went up the hill and the dumbasse crashed into a rock, fell out and crushed himself with it. Very funny, there was just a lot of gore and a dead body.

That happens sometimes in Halo 2 during the campaign as well. You won't be able to board the banshee but if you manage to kill just the pilot and preserve the banshee, you can only flip it and not drive.
But interesting, I've never been able to keep a banshee alive on Halo 1 and still kill the elite piloting.

maybe it has something to do with the programming. perhaps the game somehow doesn't register that the banshee is empty, thinking that it is still occupied by the elite, thus not letting you pilot it. i dunno, it's just a guess.

That happens everywhere you arent sopposed to have a banshee (happens in the second too)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not an error but pretty much an anti-glitch. The error is that you managed to kill the elite and not blow up the banshee. The banshee was then made so you cannot get in it and fly around a level you were meant to walk on.
