Apparently, those pesky Covenant drop ships (named Phantoms) are now destructible in [tag]Halo 3[/tag]… As seen from some leaked Halo 3 Epsilon Beta footage, two players in co-op mode take down a Phantom in a fairly short amount of time.
Phantoms were originally introduced in Halo 2, replacing the “Tuning fork” drop ship from Halo 1. These new vehicles had several powerful plasma turrets, making battles very difficult in some instances (especially while fighting off the enemies coming down from the ship). Now we can get the drop on them first!
Finally… We can actually take them out before they hit the ground!

Yeah, there are several areas in the game when you can shoot’em out of the sky! It’s quite satisfying really =)

Yes, I did this on “The Ark” Whenever you get the missile warthog, you can easily shoot the Phantom out of the sky.
