They did this so that they would not give any secrets about any more of the game. And there's always a possibility that there was a new character that they don't want to show yet.

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Maybe grunts were flying them. Grunts can drive ghost. Also grunts are short so maybe thats why you cant see their feet.

I am...whimsical today.

It's also possible that the rides have not been fully rendered yet, and so were not suitable to use in the teaser. However I agree that, had the identity of the riders been known, it would have given much away regarding the alliance of the excavation force around the Artifact, or at least the Phantom.

The pilots of the banshees would most likely be brutes, right? I mean, they are the prophets guards and such and not the elites. Who else would fly them?

Or maybe it's a human alliance group of covenant in the midst of attacking the brutes/prophet in the ark.

The trailer is like a short movie. Not in-game play, no AI, so there doesn't have to be any pilots visible in the Banshees nor do they have to shoot at MC(not to mention it's for dramatic effect, and what can MC do to stop them now?).

Are they friend or foe? I'd say the latter.
