The Banshees in the Halo 3 trailer dont attack MC because they just saw a -blam!- hole/chasm appear that shot out a blue light beam and i think they think that that might be more important!
In the halo 2 teaser do the covenant dropships attack? no they fly over !!!

I think its because they have no reason to touch him. I mean, the mother of all Forerunner objects has just been fully uncovered and activated. Why worry about a flea like the Master Chief when The Great Journey is just within their grasp? [or so it seems ^ ^]

But considering all the trouble he's caused the Covenant, the destruction of Halo, the rescue of the survivors and the relic found on Reach, and the destruction of an entire battle fleet of Covenant cruisers and a space station; I would assume that they would go after him as soon as he was identified. But, yeah I guess the Great Journey thing works too. The Covies do tend to get cocky.

Not cocky, I mean like. Desperate. THey have worked so long and have built up so much in this last second of activating this incredible tool left behind by their gods. The anticipation in this last second that they have built up to in their thousands of years of searching.

It's already been said. They don't attack because AI isn't present in the trailer. They just wanted to show off some of the effects. It says it right in main post about it.

Well, there could be several reasons:

A) they are on an escort mission, not an attack/scout mission
B) That huge whole in the ground is more improtant than one measly spartan with an AR
C) What is the point of killing MC if the great journey has already begun?

You know, since the Elites now know the truth about the Halos, they're not going to fight for the Covenant no more. So, maybe they were on MC's side.

That is an interesting point. Maybe the old, Truth and Reconciliation ship was an Elite/grunt controlled ship, and the banshees and phantom were also. They might have been heading in to stop the great journey. The silver ships near it might have been the Brute/jackal/prophet ships, and they had activated it before the Eltires could stop them.

i dont think ive seen brutes flying banshies, but im probably wrong there

if they were attacking MC, i would of had them dive bomb him, they have a perfect opertunity, i mean, they have how many capital ships there? last time i remmember that cortona said something like "run now" at which point the ships shot up the instalation he was at

so my guess is that the brutes have control of whatever it is, and the elites and master cheif are trying to stop them

Thats a nice idea and all but you must not have watched the video before making this thread.

Because anyone that actualy watched the trailer, would have noticed that the banshees fly over him, one flys right towards him and then tucks in behind the other one who flew past him, long before the structure begins to open up.

They fly towards the structure only until it begins to open up...and then they break off, because they know there in trouble.

So you (the person who made yet another retarded thread about this) and all the other people here who havent watched the trailer and are just jumping on the ban wagon with this "oh the structure opening up is why they didnt shoot" can grab a bowl of corn flakes and sit down. Because if you arnt even going to watch the trailer first before you post up your theories, then you are just making this section (for Halo 3) even more bogged down with your useless gumble.

This has already be figured out in another thread, (atleast one) but you'll have to go look for it threw the 90 pages of other dumb topics just like this one. So congrajulations or whatever it is you say to people when they do a good job, you da man.

They don't attack because they have bigger fish to fry.
