I have been trying to find new ways to challenge myself and I recently came up with another one:

On legendary, of course, at the end of the level where you have to defeat the covie and flood mix in the "bowl" and get the banshee to fly to the last pulse generator it is not that hard to steal 1 banshee. Now try this, go back and try to get the second one as well! It is much more difficult to get the second one, you may get into the seat but good luck getting it out of the area. Oh, and one other thing (you didn't think this would be that easy did you?), you are not allowed to kill anything before you steal either banshee, all enemies and wraiths have to be untouched by your weapons.

If you accomplish this, I have another version of the same idea. Do the first banshee without killing anything, but you cannot try for the second banshee until you have killed just enough enemies to spawn the wave of Covies that incluedes the gold elite and the hunters. This version is not for the impatient or weak hearted!

My weapon combo is plasma pistol and shotty only, no other weapons, and only used if I for defense if I get my ghost turned over by a wraith blast near someone who needs killing.

Yeah, This actually sounds rediculously hard. I may try this later.

So I'm guessing we can't use the banshee to obtain the other banshee?

This engagement is super easy if you're able to sneak a banshee out and then lob fuel rods down on them from high altitude (all you have to do is dodge the wraith plasma mortars.)

You would be correct! If possible, I also try not to use grenades to move the second banshee out of it's original position. I am a moron, I try to make the game as hard as it can be at times, just to make it different and see if I can figure a way out of some jam of my own making.

Now, if the 2 Wraiths that are lobbing rounds your way just happen to move the banshee around, well that is not your fault is it, and would be fine to take advantage of, seeing as they were so kind to make it more "stealable".

Deaths are allowed right? Ima try to vid it but there's bound to be a bunch of deaths.

Assuming we survive to this part of the level on legendary.

Aww man that brings back some memories, I remember doing this on co-op, it was never a good thing to be the guy going for the second Banshee lol.

Trust me on one thing, you will die, you will die often, you will die quickly, you will die so near to your goal it will make you throw your controller, you will die, die, die, die, die trying to get that second banshee, which is what makes it so much fun trying to do this!

I'm in it 4 teh lulz.

Man, this is like trying to do assault on the control room while walking backwards.

You bet you can. You will find they can be helpful, and at times they can just be a magnet for drawing the ire of the covies defending against you. Getting the first "shee is easy with a ghost, getting the second, well not so easy....... have fun!

Yea, it's kind of odd, like the AI doesn't turn on until you go for the second one. That thing has a target painted on the back lol.

It's because of the Flood, they're a really useful diversion.
