''The Great Banshee Switch'' is a trick performed in [[Halo]] gameplay using two airborne, piloted Banshees. It involves players switching their respective vehicles in mid-air. | |||
==Process== | |||
The stunt requires great skill, faultless timing, and sometimes just pure luck. First, both players must be flying in the same direction, ''and'' at the same speed. The first player must position and situate his [[Banshee]] '''directly''' above the second player's Banshee, and just a few feet forward. At this point, the Banshees should be touching. Now, both players must get out at the same time, and when they are close enough, they must hold X (the Right Bumper in Halo 3) to get in the other player's Banshee. If done correctly, you will switch Banshees in mid-air. | The stunt requires great skill, faultless timing, and sometimes just pure luck.

This technique can be used if your Banshee is about to be hijacked. Just barrel-roll upwards as you are about to be kicked out and you will be flung upwards. You may then fall down on the Banshee and hold X/RB to [[Boarding|reboard]], also giving you the [[Maybe Next Time Buddy]] Acheivment. A way to counteract this is, when you get in the banshee immediately boost away, then they will not fall back to the banshee and re-board it. | This technique can be used if your Banshee is about to be hijacked.

This trick is also useful for players in campaign. When you are in a fight with other Banshees, simply fly over an enemy's Banshee, hold X/RB, try to fall onto the enemy's Banshee, and then board it. This, however, is the most difficult method, as the enemy will often turn and flip a lot as to get in position to shoot you. | This trick is also useful for players in campaign.
