Stuff required for this to work:

-Scorpion
-Rochet Louncher

Level: Assualt on the Control Room

The secret banshee is near the beginning of Assualt of the Control Room. When you go outside into the open for the first time, where the wraith and marines are, pick up a Rocket loncher. Go to where you get the scorpion and drive up the tunnel to the right. On top of the hill, jump out and destroy the wraith with one of your rockets. Once all the Covenant in the area are gone, go to the corner right of the hill. DONT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THE TUNNEL INTRANCE BELOW. Now zoom in with your rochet to where the Banshee would fligh off. (To the uper left of the hill) and shoot a rochet at the Banshee trying to knock it to the right. Now go to the big rock to the far right of the tunnel and stand on top of the scropion. Now shoot rochets up at the legde where you shot the rochet earlier. If your low on rochets, use the scorpions rochet louncher. It could take about 20min. and a ton of rochets to knock the banshee off. When it falls off, ride the scorpion over to it. You now be able to fligh the banshee anywhere you want.

Sorry if this was confussing, it was hard to explain. Also sorry if this is old.

I've got that to work about 4 times. But I've only tried it for the PC version of the game, but im sure it'll work for the Xbox version.

Or, you could steal the banshee from the land bridge. It's pretty simple, all you need to have is a quick trigger finger and a rocket launcher, and you'll be able to blast an elite before it gets into the banshee and then you can fly into it yourself. Playing campaign on PC and on the Xbox is virtually identical, so it will probably work. Also, tanks do not fire "rochets".

Dang it, I gotta be me!

Anyways, I'm going to remember this when I play the Campaign sometime. It's quite an interesting hint.

Rocket launcher O.o

The elite, when trying to get to the banshee turns away from you, revealing a nice expanse of back to whack with a rifle. ^^

But with the Banshee in the beginning off the level, you can skip about the entire level. You know the part were you meat your Marines for the second time before you enter the structure? Well, you could just fly straight up to the two bridges and go through one of the doors up there, skipping most of the level. Also the enemies wont spawn below.

and if u can save both banshees that are by the parimid u can get through the lvl without all that running around AND u can also save lots f fighting. like when u open those doors to get to the control room there wont be any body there.i like when u go to the cut scene and when he is walking to the big keyboard thingy to put the key thingy in there u can see the banshee barely setting down to the floor as u walk away.
