Subject: Never before seen banshee or a common spawn?

So I was trying to get the levels for Catch unlocked and I see a banshee laying on the ground. I go closer to it, noticing its odd colors, and I presume its of heretic origin. But upon closure inspection, I notice it is not covenant or heretic, it is simply its own.

Has this been found or not? Am I actually this late to the punch?

BTW here is a video showing it.

Yeah, the "Heretic" Banshee, been around for a long time. BTW, isn't the Catch skull on Metropolis?

It doesn't look like it though.

EDIT: I loaded GJ up and if it isn't damaged it does look like a heretic banshee,

I'm an idiot...

It's not, actually. It doesn't have the same textures... At least I don't think it does.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

But why is there a heretic banshee on great journey?

Because the Elites are now allies and the Elites that were Heretics are still using them. They bring extra banshees to the beach to make sure you can get up to the door.

So heretics did survive threshold

How come you never get to see heretics as allies though

Technically heretic armor is just modified covenant issued armor made for environments with lots of gas. Heretics would probably ditch the armor for better suited armor.

According to what I've read, the Elite that drops it off is near death. IIRC, he's a Elite regular Minor or Major. So yes, the Heretics have joined the Separatists. Either that or they are providing stuff for the Separatists rather than actively fighting.

I figured this out seconds after I had typed this post. Apparently it is more popular than I thought.
