alright when your going to the control room and it says "the gun pointed at the head of the universe" it might help if you snipe the elites standing there.

When cortona says "this might be the control room, suttle" there will be a land brige with two banshee's on it. If you have a sniper rifle, snipe any elite that trys to snag a banshee, if you don't, try plowing through the first row of guards and then using some form of grenade to turn the banshee on it's side so the elite's can't steel it. After your finished with the elits and you get the chance, snag it and fly right twords the control center, saves you 10-30 minutes.

You know you don't need the banshee to get to the control room fast. You can run of the ledge and land on the angled wall near the base of the control center. Then get behind a rock and take out the wraith then go up the ramos and bam your there. Oooor you could blow past the first elite and grunts ignoring them. Rocket the elite running for the banshee. admire his glorious spewing guts everywhere and hop in. its rather easy really.

What my cousin does is get the sniper rifle and rocket and tell me to protect him. We then get to a point with a mini snow hill (at the bottom of the map). (I cant remember if he gets the tank or not). He then looks through his sniper scope and sees a banshee on a ledge. He then aims below it and switches to his rockets. then he shots the rocket making the banshee fall of the ledge.

Sorry if its very vague but we last done this like 3 - 4 years ago and even then i never paid much attention.

Burst out fo the hallway, and stick the Elite with a plasma grenade. The run as fast as you can past everybody and simultaniously take out the pilot with your pistol scope. Run to the banshee and get in. It may take a few tries to get it right.

get a sniper and a RL and go to the ice pond but dont cross it. if you look behind you and up theres a platform high on the cliff wall. just use the sniper to aim at a certain area carefully and switch and fire rockets on it till a banshee falls

  • 11.18.2006 9:01 AM PDT

or, you can go to where you meet the second marines and the tank. Look to your left behind the bridge high up, and shoot thr middle of it with rockets and tank to get banshee down.

  • 11.18.2006 2:57 PM PDT

just when i thought you couldnt mess things up anymore than you already have, you go and do something like this... AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!!!

there is an earlier banshee that you can get before you go up the elevator. ask me about it and i will reveal all. dont want to type it if no one is interested...

Please explain... I am interested. I know of the Banshee locations that mentioned here that are not part of the "usual" sequence of events.

Please let us know of the banshee you know about

Or...... you could just run there and grab it before the Elite does. Whatever works I suppose.

OK when you first get outside there will be lots of covi attaaking some marines who have landed, take em out yada yada, when you get to the second part ,you know, where the tank is, kill the covi there then pick up a rocket launcher ( it should be next to the fallen pelican) then look there should be 2 ways to go a tunnel and an open way. Go the open way and look up there is a platform realy high up. Shoot your Rocket launcher in the middle of the bottem of the platform and a banshee should come tumbling down( it may take a few shots but no matter there is a banshee). after that you will find other banshees all across the level. just go up with your banshee and look for em Enjoy.

Lol, I know exactly how to get the banshee at the control room because when I first played halo, I thoough you where supposed to get the banshee. In fact, I didn't even realyse there was anything on the other side of the bridge at first. What I do is take the camo powerup in the hallway with the cloaked eliets, run past the hunters and any other enemyis, and I usualy still have a few seconds of cammo when I get to the bridge. I just run towards the banshee and my camo runs out just as I get into the banshee.

How do you get a banshee on the assault and the control room?

Well after you meet up with Stg. Johnson, go left of the cave/tunnel, look up and you'll see a platform, shoot the bottom of it with the RL a few times to knock the banshee off the platform, and wa-la!

If I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good nite.

I like to take a RL and the sniper rifle. Snipe the Elite walking towards you and then the one dashing for the banshee. Throw a frag grenade at the grunts and jackals while you snipe the banshee elite. I then kill the other banshee in an easy dog fight and go to the first pulse generator door you go to for Two Betrayals. I just stand up there and snipe whoever is left. I also take out the Wraith with my rockets. Nice sniping practice.

To play or not to play....

and another point is you can continue your sniping joy if you jump onto that traingular/diangle sort of large struct that runs mor eor less through the middle of the area. You can walk on top of it. Just go down to the hole and pick up all the goodies there (including a sniper gun if you don't have one already) and then walk up to the end of the platform and jump on top.

Then you walk up and snipe everyone in sight. Go near the end and jump down and you save yourself a heap of time and effort.

But alas you miss many a fine battle doing this so it is not always the most fun to do.
