How to unlock the I’ll Be Taking That! achievement in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary - Definitive Guide
When Cortana says, "Analyzing. This must be the control room," you are there. You'll pass SEVERAL Banshees throughout the level (which is a long one), but don't try to take them out and enter, just wait until this final part. Either snipe out the Elite or rocket the whole bunch (Elite, two Grunts, two Jackals), and a final Elite will pop up behind the Banshee. If you don't get it, "revert to last save."
This video was done by Nowise10 on the original Xbox. It works exactly the same, just with all the more glory (happy anniversary!):
Before the room with the Hunters that comes right before the bridge where the Banshee is sitting, there's a hallway with an Active Camo powerup. Leave it there, kill the 2 Hunters and the Grunts that come in from the bridge, then backtrack to the Active Camo. Once invisible, all you have to do is run by all the Covenant on the bridge and hop in the Banshee before the Elite does. Easy.
Now you will be able to see the banshee in plain sight you need to kill the elite before he manages to get into it. He starts right at the back of everyone else i recommend carrying the rocket launcher, you can pick up last time i remember where you enter the canyon for the tank next to the warthog or on the way to the banshee there is another on the left path before you get there next to a med pack and keep it till you need it. simply fire it at him he will die and you can jump in.
If you do fail you can revert the save and you will be back just before the event.
as stated by quickdraw, if you do blow the banshee off the ledge or if the elite gets it simply revert to the last check point or jump of the ledge to your death. Good luck
note: i used this method while going through the game on legendary. the elite just wouldn't die with bullets.
NOTE: The second video is motivation music! =)
Doing this glitch will help you get the achievements I'll Be Taking That!, Assault on The Control Room, and you can also work towards completing the game on Legendary. This glitch may take a few tries and you have to be playing on classic mode for it to work.
You can knock the Banshee down using various methods, there are a few youtube solutions available and I have linked the best one I could see. The advantage of getting this one is that you can bypass the vast majority of the level using it, so on higher difficulties and speed runs it is a pretty useful option.
Toward the end of the level, you'll come to a snow-covered bridge crossing another canyon. Two banshees will be parked in the distance. There are any number of options you could use. A normal run n' gun might work if you can kill the Elite fast enough. If you've got a sniper rifle, you can casually snipe the Elites before they enter the banshee. With careful aim, a rocket launcher or grenade will flip the banshee or knock it off the edge, allow you to pick it up when you get to the ground floor.
On Co-op, there's an easier trick. Don't use the camo found in the corridor before the final room preceding the bridge. Instead, go into the room and kill the hunters and grunts. Have the player that needs the cheevo go back to the camo and have the other player wait next to the teleport point in the hallway before the bridge. Right as the player picks up the camo, teleport him and have the invisible player run out and head straight for the banshee.
Here's a video for further assistance:
