i got bored and started to look at HBO, i noticed on the site that you can get a banshee on AOTCR before you enter the tunnels. i warn you now, its long, because it explains how i did it.
so i tried it (on easy to save time getting there), i took the tank to the hill (go through the cave when you first get the tank, its right infront of you), killed everythin in site, positioned the tank onto the right (not left) side of the hill. got ontop of the tank, walked along its barrel, scoped the platform where the banshee was (its the way you can reach the area you are in, without entering the cave), i zoomed in on the left most part of the banshee (you cant see all of it) with a SR, switched to RL and fired. i had hit my target.....but couldnt see it because it move further down the platform.
so i moved my tank to the left side of the enterance to the tunnels (making sure the hunters were dead). when i say left side, i mean near the rocks, not going down into the tunnels themselves. i make the tank half drive up the ice wall, half up the big rock untill i can let go of the tumbstick and the tank is stuck at a 45 degree angle. i climb up the tank, onto the big rock, and again scope out the platform with a SR. found my target near the edge and fired the RL to knock the banshee off (it took a few rockets but i eventually got it)
the rest of the level i so much easier with a banshee, because if you go far enough, no covies appear, but their drivable vehicles do appear.
but it does have its down sides, if you go too far away form your marines and trigger a checkpoint when they are far away, then they will freeze (they just stand there and you can blast the weapons out of their hands). the level also becomes boring with no covies to fight.
if you want to reach the pyrimid with no enemys but you cant find which door leads to it on the two bridges, its the bridge with the red door, just go to the other side of the bridge and enter the green door. note: when you do come to the pyrimid, you will enter through the wrong door on the natural bridge, normally the pyrimid is on the right hand side, but for some reason it is on the left side.
and that one event of getting the banshee is what i am proud of
