i was playing and noticed that the bugs weren’t fixed since i was able to get 3 guns on the first level. i was pretty happy about that. but when i got to assault on the control room, you can no longer shoot down the Banshee when you get the scorpion tank.
skip to the 40 second mark in this video (and mute the volume cuz the song is brutal): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkmquKxuwa4
i tried with 7 shots of my RL and reloaded, tried 7 more and reloaded, and then tried the tank and it still didn’t come down.
is it just me? has anyone else been able to do this? i LOVED doing this in the original, so i hope i’m just having bad luck.
To the best of my knowledge, they used a largely-unaltered Halo PC build as the basis for Halo Annie. If it was fixed between the Xbox version and the PC port by Gearbox, it will be fixed in Anniversary.
Of course, I don’t know any of the specifics when it comes to Halo 1 bugs, so I don’t know if this specific glitch had been fixed for PC… It’s a possibility.
ahh interesting. well, if they did patch it (gearbox or 343), why not fix the 3 weapon glitch for example? doesn’t make sense in my eyes. i’m going to try halo pc and see if its patched
EDIT: i actually can’t test it since i only have the first level unlocked D:
While I REALLY hope they didn’t fix that ‘glitch’, I doubt they would have. If they DID fix any glitches, then it would’ve been very minor or game-breaking. The banshee glitch on Assault is pretty well-known, so I doubt they would’ve patched it…
I would RAGE.
lol yeah if it truly is fixed then i think some of my childhood just died. i still love the game, its just kind of a bummer.
if anyone else has managed to do it, please post!
theres even an achievement for flying one in this level, but i think thats more for the very end of the level, where you just run across the bridge and beat the elite to the banshee
God if they fixed that then the dropship glitch on Halo is definitely gone
> God if they fixed that then the dropship glitch on Halo is definitely gone
speaking of dropships, you can still sit in this one if you press X right away…still fly down to your death though 
which glitch are you talking about?

They most certainly did use the PC version. I know for sure because in the PC version, unlike in the original Xbox version, the music at the end of the game glitches up. The song that begins when you start the level plays on top of the song that is supposed to be playing during the ending cutscene. This same thing happens in the remake.
Also, did anyone else noticed that the marine’s response to being trapped in Truth and Reconciliation was different? In the original, he says, “We’re trapped in here, were screwed, we’re screwed man!” It’s similar in this one, but not the same.
A new glitch I noticed that wasn’t in either the PC version of the game or the Xbox version happened In Two Betrayals, where you first encounter the Flood again. The music that plays at the moment for some reason did not. As weird as it sounds, I have such a vivid memory of that particular part of the level and it sort of bothered me.
And one other minor thing. They added sound to the explosions during the end cutscene, and that was something in the original I specifically remember seeing and thinking, “Wow, this feels perfect with it being so silent in space.”
Overall though, I don’t think 343 could have done a much better job. This campaign is exactly the kind of remake I always wanted (but don’t even get me started on the missed opportunity with multiplayer.)
hmm i thought i one of the docs they showed a clip of someone shooting down the banshie, also there is an achievement for flying a banshie in that level. i know there is another banshie you can pilot but why make a achievement based on something you removed?
What I don’t understand is why they used the pc version. It’s basically taking the console version, porting it to pc, then porting it back to console. So many bugs can happen because of that.

maybe it was easier to work with when they were using the new visuals compared to the xbox version
Tried shooting a the bridge in both remastered and classic mode for about 10 minutes, nothing. Not sure if I was doing it wrong but didn’t work when I tried it.

And I thought it was for that as well, but I got the achievement when I boarded the banshee right after the chapter title, “If I had a super weapon” on the natural bridge.

I DEMAND 343 TO ANSWER FOR THIS HERESY!!!
i’m joking, but damn that sucks

Here’s a better vid… music is still rubbish, go to 0:26 to see the banshee drop:
This better still be in there this is my favorite part of Halo, there was so much elevation to fly around, this really is a deal breaker for me.
i tried doing that from the exit of the cave tunnel thing but 14 RL shots and tank rounds did nothing…gonna try again tonight from underneath it like these guys did (but i never had a problem doing it from the tunnel exit :\ )

Sorry for not replying sooner but the one im talking about is the one where you go to the rocky area in halo first wait for the first dropship to come down leave before finishing, go do the others and once you get back every enemy that would have been dropped is already there without having to use a ship to come… usually like 50 people on the ground
Wonder if anyone had tried doing Tower to Tower on Halo and it worked?

I’m pretty sure it still works on Halo PC.

You have to hit an exact location.
Instead of using that video, use this one. Then you can see the exact location where to hit.
If it’s still difficult, try flipping the Banshee by hitting it directly then going to where the Wraith is (the one on the roof above the Hunters). If the geometry allows you to go up to the Wraith easily, then you can take out the Wraith then zoom in with the sniper and hit the Banshee with a rocket.
Here’s what I mean.
I actually got the Banshee down from the platform on AotCR on my very first try last night.
It was never a glitch anyway; it’s a trick and its not fixed because I did it.
yayyyyy good! well at least it works. thanks for the info Ultimate RC
i’ll try what you posted tomorrow Sliding Ghost
