*Another anti-hijacking trick, if you are boarded, exit the Banshee just before your opponent would usually throw you out, and then hold X/RB really soon after. This makes it so that when your opponent hops into the vehicle in the appropriate part of the boarding animation, you will board your recently stolen vehicle before they have a chance to move, taking it back and allowing you to fly away. This will also catch them off guard so that they won't repeat the trick on you. Practice this to get the timing down, even though it doesn't need to be too exact. In Halo 3, this counts towards an achievement. | *Another anti-hijacking trick, if you are boarded, exit the Banshee just before your opponent would usually throw you out, and then hold X/RB really soon after.

*When flying the Banshee in Halo 3, hold A + Forward on the Control Stick. If done right, the Banshee will drop quickly straight down, belly first. If you land the Banshee belly-first, then it will explode, and you will still have full shields. Useful if there is a lot of pressure on you, if you are being Missile-Podded, or just for fun. Landing on top of another vehicle or the Elephant will kill nearby enemies, and since it miraculously does no shield damage to you, you can clean up survivors no problem. Also, sometimes when this happens, you can be flung out, occasionally a long way. | *When flying the Banshee in Halo 3, hold A + Forward on the Control Stick.
