The searchlight was used in the cutscene after finding the last clue on Mombasa Streets. You see a Phantom with this searchlight while Dare radios to you.
The ambient banshee variant is probably for missions where you're not supposed to drive or hijack them for gameplay reasons but the devs still wanted to add them in the game... like in kizingo boulevard where you can't hijack them unless you do the famous glitch
Kizingo Boulevard has hijackable Banshees that don’t require a glitch at all. It’s just very specific conditions that need to be met to hijack them like normal. A glitch implies it’s not meant to happen, but that achievement is completely intentional because they aren’t meant to be EASILY hijacked. The banshees in Uplift Reserve, however, even if they get close enough to you, are not hijackable at all.
@@unreal727I assume that's also the case with the ones on Oni Alpha Site (the ones hover over you as you blow up the bridge) and the NMPD HQ ones that fly over the crane
Hey GeneralHeed, I love your videos. By the way, halo:ce the warthogs on the maw are a different hog with slightly higher speed, but look the same. So maybe, similarly, the reserve wraiths have different stats compared to the normal wraith? Or have a special texture that was cut? Just throwing some ideas out there.
You forgot the Prowler Btw. It is the only base/normal vehicle from 3 not in Base/normal ODST. I wonder if Dare can ride in the side seats with the Energy Sword, and weapons that Marines can't normally use.
Imagine if they added the covenant and odst drop podcast for a multiplayer option in MCC where you drop down from the sky. Game mode could be similar to Invasion but you get to drop down from a Carrier or a Frigate in Halo 3 🔥
Its sad the snow variant skins became missing in Halo 3 MCC when they added skins. Only the snow variant for Scorpion away available but the others went missing. They are there in forge and stuff as the spawned variant but if you get in it replaces with the skin you select. And if you use default it goes to a regular warthog. So the legacy variant on avalanche is basically no longer usable for the warthog, mongoose, and hornet
Next can you do weapons? There is a leftover H3 SMG and H3 Magnum on every map that has a Firefight level. Meaning we could get those weapons on Xbox sometime.
Hornet Lite shares the same color as the NMPD Pelican, probably Bungie was going to make a NMPD Hornet but it was cut at the final version. Still Mega Construx made the NMPD Hornet years later, weird part is that no one has made a NPMD Mongoose when theres actually a Concept Art about it.
The ending on KEYES when you pilot the banshee out of the ship! For the first time in 20 years, I actually gained control for about 5 seconds!!!! It was bizarre and caught me by surprise so flew around for a few seconds before the cutscene finally kicked in!! Has this ever happened to anyone else? I haven’t heard of such glitches 🧐
3:40 in early days of halo 3 on the second level there's a phantom that flies into the level and destroying the turret while offline would give you the achievement for killing 3 players that were riding a vehicle, the one that gives you the scout helmet I think? Bungie said it was a bug and removed it eventually because you were supposed to only get that achievement in online multiplayer but that's probably your phantom chin gun right there.
nope thats the used car salesman achievement that gives the helmet and you can get that in campaign it can be ai enemys IF they patched it it would be because the player isnt meant to see/kill the pilot of phantom turrets (i also think destroying a phantom in general doesnt count) maybe youre thinking of the chest plate from to close to the sun... but you need a spartan lazer for that and i think the first spartan lazer is on the 4th mission the storm
@@GGG_gamingnope, no splazers on The Storm, in campaign it's only on The Covenant and Halo unless there's a hidden one somewhere I've never found, although I've played Halo 3 exactly 2401 times
Park wraith and ambient banshee are definitely just non-drivable versions that cannot be taken by the player. Like in Uplift Reserve you can’t take the wraiths
Wonder why the devs never made the pelicans and phantoms drivable in forge or multiplayer maps and campaign, bullshit the AIs can drive but players can't lol. Also weird the pelicans don't use weapons expect in that first halo 3 mission or that back turret while the phantoms can use turrets and side gunners lol.
Back then, they were concerned that including an unpolished vehicle not intended for player use would leave a way worse mark on the game than if they had just excluded it entirely. Nowadays, 343 knows there's a lot of demand for these special vehicles in Forge, so they're retroactively adding them, but it's a way different situation than what Bungie was dealing with back then.

it's also used in the drop pod cutscene at the start of mombasa streets if i remember right

I was thinking the same thing lol
probably the same for the wraiths, if I recall don’t they autodestruct like the AA wraith on uplift reserve?

Pretty cool vehicles. The Police Pelican is my favorite of them all.

@@inductivegrunt94 17 hours ago 🤡 definitely a bot
I thought the ghosts were different in ODST because they would overload and split into to pieces when destroyed. Like in Halo 2
The parked version of the wraith exists because they used to normally explode without a driver present
The ODST Phantom Search light was used in the cutscene where dare was talking on the radio before Data Hive
I had fun helping out and hitting a fat dab in front of the OAST Drop Pod.

truly leaving no stone unturned in halo. I love it. keep up the good work General Heed/kidd
Anything police NMPD themed looks cool
You can find the lite hornet in h3 forge, cant remember what its called but theres two varients, the normal then the silver one
Park wraith and ambient banshee are definitely just non-drivable versions that cannot be taken by the player. Like in Uplift Reserve you can’t take the wraiths
I'm pretty sure the searchlight chin-gun Is used a few times for the phantoms that fly around on Mombasa streets
The way how kidds friend just blows up the warthog when Kidd was showing us the wraith
3:06 Haha! You mean the ONIphant?
6:38 can someone please get this to RejectedShotgun to use in Ultimate Forge
So the Pelican Rocket Pods are separate vehicles? That's funny.
Heck yea new general kidd let’s go
So Lite Hornet is what the new Halo Mega hornet is
park wraith explodes if pilot is killed.
Fun fact: you can't drive a wraith in odst
I love the look of the police pelican
