In co-op heroic (we were bored), my friend shot a banshee with a sniper rifle (like Linda) and neither one of us could get in.

that happens to me alot for some reason. its cool cause it still makes noise sometimes and you can flip it, but you cant get in it cause it would really mess up the level im sure. theres a reason they wont let you in it

I blew up the first banshee at the start then as the second started to fly away i started shooting at it with an asault rifle then the guy just fell out lucky i did it in single player cause i got a checkpoint and just saved it.

There's a simple reason why: you can't ever ride a banshee or a ghost once an Elite's been in it.

you cant get in the banshee bacause the game is made that you can only ride the banshees in the levels you are supposed to ride them. so its like the banshee program isnt loaded into that level.

This is NOT true at all, in the maw u were not meant to ride a banshee but i have , because if u stay behind long enough, instead of 2 banshees shooting echo 419 there is only 1 with no elite in it, if u jump on the worthog u get next to it while it flies by u and u can hop in! and the banshee in halo, same thing happened to me

the way i see it there are 3 different type of banshees. the first banshee is the one you see in halo but you can't ride them. the second banshee is the one in T&R, these banshees are super boosted and they can fly through certain things. the third banshee is the one you see in AotCR and you can ride them normally.

Well listen to this for a story:
I was playing Halo (2nd level) and was at the beginning. I made the pilot of the Banshee crash into a tree and he bailed. I killed him, but the Banshee fell off the edge and landed right at the very end of the waterfall. When I got down there I was so excited because it sprang up ideas of being ablt to fly on the entire level and I thought my dreams were coming true when I saw "Press X to flip the Banshee".

When next to it I carefully began planning how I'd flip the thing without making it fall. I came to the conclusion that I couldn't and just tried anyway. It fell and I was so disappointed.

I tried again and again for about an hour. Restarting the level and trying to get the Banshee pilot to crash and bail. I couldn't do it and forgot about it.

I came back to try it again in a week and actually did it, without trying. I went to go get in it and that's when I found out you can't; I was so pissed off.
