On the natural rock bridge overlooking the control room, there is a banshee with an elite next to it. Now, depending on the layout of the map (there are a couple of variations, the one you get is randomly picked out of two, and you may not have a clear shot) you can snipe / RL / whatever the elite before he gets into the banshee, and then steal it.

Practice playing GTA and you'll probably have a better chance.

Is it after the wordings below "rolling thunders" ... after you get the tank...and when you go up the underground where there rocks laying around...then when you reach up a covenant drop ship and drop covenants....then after that there's a few rock which go upwards and there turret there....? Or is it after you lose your tank....and the marines dont help you no more after that part? Please tell me the correct timing and position of the banshee area

It's on the land bridge, you know. If you want me to be specific, it's the one where there's a bunch of elites, grunts, and jackals on the bridge where below there is two elites roaming around and two ghosts and one wraith. The land bridge is right in front of the control room. There'll be two banshees on it, and depending on the lay out of the enemies that spawn, you may or may not kill the first elite before it gets into the banshee and get inside it yourself. I'm quite surprised you've never gotten in the banshee in Assault on the Control Room. If you still can't find it and you want some banshee action, go play Two Betrayals.

It's quite simple.

The only way to get a banshee in Canyon B is if your lucky and the elit crashs into a wall or somehting. Like in Level 2 Halo i got one of those banshees

You're a bad liar. The banshees on the second level can't be flown by the player.

At the end of the level, or near it, when you exit a structure onto a bridge overlooking the hugeass pyramid that has the control room in it, there is a banshee sitting there with an elite close by. Kill the elite and get in the banshee.

After it says "If I had a Super Weapon..." or something like that.

Okay, marines, listen up: Make sure you have a savepoint right before this, so that if you screw up you can try over again.

Before reaching that point in the game, you should've had a fight with two hunters. If you were smart, you would've killed the two hunters WITHOUT picking up that Active Camo lying there in the corner. After finishing off the two hunters, reload all weapons and grab the camo, then run for the exit. You should have a fully loaded pistol and RL, and your path for the exit should be a beeline...you don't want to waste precious Active Camo time.

Depending on the randomization of the map, a few placements and schtuff should change every so often. But some things generally remain the same. According to my memory, there should be two elites next to two banshees, they will jump into them regardless of if they see you or not. There should also be a cluster of jackals and grunts.

Now, once you see the first banshee, fire a rocket at the base of it, that should take care of the elite about to board the shee. If you're quick enough, the rocket will kill the Elite before he jumps in, leaving the shee all to you. Next thing is to aim a little in front of the empty shee and fire another rocket...if timed right, it'll take down the other banshee as it takes off, leaving you to fire a few more rockets at the cluster of jackals/grunts, and claim the shee as your own.

The most important part is firing a rocket at the base of the banshee. Preferably straight at the Elite himself if you can muster it. After that, you're welcome to choose my method, or just beelining it for the shee and using that to take everything else down, or to pop a few rounds into some aliens using the pistol, whatever.

Good luck.

Well put, me15ter.

After it says "If I had a Super Weapon..." or something like that.
Aha! That's the one! I was trying to find out what the text said when the screen letter-boxed but I couldn't remember.
