For those of you asking why didnt the Banshees fire on the MC, take a second look at the trailer, at 1:27.5 to be exact...

The second banshee that does a flyby the MC (or whoever it was) was perfectly aligned to fire the fuil rod gun. He was standing on the edge of a cliff, at point blank range, if the pilot had wanted to kill him, he could have.

Some of you will say that what ever was being activated was more important, good point, but think about the mentality of the elites, even if they knew they would die, do you not think the pilot would have fired the shot anyways, I mean they have been chaising the MC around the galexy for how meny years? An elite would have taken the shot just for the hell of it, and died seconds later knowing he had killed the demond.

He didnt have to worry about hitting anything of any importance, like the ark or structure, the only thing under the cliff was forest so even if he missed he wouldnt have hit anything of any importance.

So that means that ether it wasnt an elite flying that banshee, or the elites are now allies. But dont take my word for it, check the video and pause it right at 127.5 and you will see the banshee was perfectly aligned to take the MC out, but didnt.

Good point. I think the Elite (if there was one in there =) ) was too excited about seeing the structure operating...

It did, he flew directly over him. You can see that he banks away from the Master Chief (to the right).

How could he not have seen the MC, he was flying right towards him, check the angle, if you pause it right when I said, as soon as you can see the banshee its going towards the MC but vears off to tuck in behind the first banshee. And he was close, well within range to fire the fuil rod and hit him or atleast knock him off the ledge...

1. The elites, as simple deductive logic dictates, are now probably allied with the humans.
2. Brutes look too big to fit in banshees.
3. If the elites are still fighting the humans, then that particular elite may have wanted to get to the forerunner structure quickly, to go on the path of the Great Journey faster.

"You must face the truth squarely and without flinching from duty. Our enemies are mortal no longer. Mercy for such as they is a chimera, self-deception is its only ally. Dedicate this weapon, given unto your hand at the behest of the Emperor, to their destruction. Regard its function as your only duty: you live only to bring cleansing fire."

first off, i think the elites are cool with the humans now, and second, maybe whoever was in command ordered all covenant troops to hold fire cause, even if far away, should they dmage anything...

better safe then sorry

Don't be stupid. Brutes can't fit in Banshees. Only Elites, Jackles, or Grunts (maybe) would be able to fly it (and MC). If you DO want to put that much thought into it, I'll go ahead and put my ideas about it. First of all, do you know WHY the Covenant are on Earth? They could have just glassed it, and ran the hell out of there. But, no.... they didn't. Do you want to know why? The goddamn FLOOD are on Earth, and they apparantly have something the Covvie's want.

I dont think the flood is there yet, the most likely reason they didnt glass over Earth is becuase of the "Artifact" which is most likely the Ark. Or Bungie just wants us to think this.

I notice that now that you point it out to me. I think that they're just more concerned with the artifact. I mean, they know the artifact will kill them all, including MC, so why bother?
