Remember on assualt on the control room where after like 10 times beating it you found out you could about half way through the level could ride a banshee for the first time and not have to wait.
So you make it to the top and look at the jackals and the blue elite and say to yourself, ha I'll beat you and throw grenades at them and boom! Then all that was standing in your way was a red elite and you think oh I don't think so.
You may have tried to shoot him but thats a challenge so you race to the banshee failure after failure. Then one moment, yes one moment you beat the stupid thing to the banshee and the menu screen showing you how to drive it gets in the way.
Ahhhh, move and you fly and land, open the big door listening to the song Covenant dance and kicking butt.
Whew I'm glad I got that off my chest.

You cant beat it unless theres a glitch. Otherwise you have to blow it sideways or off the edge to get it.

When you turn the difficulty up it gets harder each time. Hell its pretty hard on normal to get into it IMO. On easy I don't see how you couldn't get it though. If you can't you suck a boat load of ass. The first time I was playing Halo and this was on easy I thought that you had to get into it but I realized that there's a door at the other end. Now I throw grenades/open up on my AR/open up on my pistol(most effective due to scope and it makes him stop when he gets hit).

I always save a few shots with the rocket lancher for that part. I love it, but watch out for the Wraith!

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

I don't grab the banshee anymore...I like fighting through the mess of aliens!
