Yea, this is complety rediculous. Hard to get... Just had a pal of mine type this all out so I could do it. So far other guides online are not comprehensive enough.

Metropolis level
1. Start Coop game. Same controls.
2. Kill all of the marines at the start point or they will kill the banshees
3. Jump into the tank with one player, while the other rides on the side (you can just stand on it and he wont fall off)
4. Work your way across the bridge. Kill EVERYTHING except for the banshees. The more checkpoints you can get, the better. Kill the marines that show up later on the bridge.
5. Once you get to the entrance of the tunnel (everything but the banshees killed now), the banshees should be hovering around above (3 of them) and then have one player stand at the entrance and just look up so that the banshees wont fly away. They are not powerful enough to kill that guy on easy so don’t worry about it.
The other person needs to go into the tunnel and kill everything. The end of the tunnel = after you go through the reddish lit area door on the right. Go up to the tubular looking tunnel but DONT GO INSIDE IT.
About 1 ft inside that tunnel is the loading point.
Now that everything inside is dead, use the other player to lure one of the banshees all the way in. you will need to get it all the way into that tubular shaped tunnel.
Be careful not to board it while doing this either. The second you board it it will explode.
You can run and it will follow you as long as it is pointing at you/shooting sort of. As soon as it turns around, stop. If you keep running when it’s not facing you, it will fly away
If it gets stuck in a corner, don’t get impatient and try and melee or grenade it out. Simply walk a little ways behind it and wait a second and it will turn around and remove itself without you touching it
7. Finally, while trying to get it into that doorway that it wont quite fit. Shoot ONE of its wings off and it will fit. Its important you shoot only ONE off or it will be more difficult to control once you get it in the doorway
Once it’s in there stand on the entrance of the tunnel, and get the banshee to push you through. It will push you past the loading point and after you see that yellow flash and the loading thing, you can go ahead and board the banshee
If it explodes, you did it too soon, but hopefully you had a checkpoint relatively close
If it doesn’t explode, you did it right. Now just fly the banshee out of the tunnel and up to the huge bridge in the sky. It’s right in the middle of the first bridge.
Pick it up, DO NOT DESTROY YOUR BANSHEE... be careful because the splash radius is even larger than the rocket so its easy to kill yourself.
Then jump in the banshee, and fly back down to where you were and have fun destroying ****ing everything.
And make sure you use the tunnel on the LEFT and not the one on the right side that goes straight up to the sky... it doesn’t have a loading thing and I don’t know where it leads

I assume this is for Halo 2... and I am compelled to go check it out... But it seems like it would be really hard to pull off.... Am I wrong in that assessment?

It can be done with only one person. And if you do it with two, the other guy (so long as it's a human playing and not a standby) can take the half busted hog straight across the bridge.

Anyway, I tried to get it about two weeks ago. No success. Part of that was due to total frustration. The other part was me having loads of fun getting thrown out of the tunnel everytime I boarded the banshee early. It doesn't always blow up. Alot of the time if you board at the right moment, it's like getting launched by a slingshot. From everything I've read, finding it is trivial. The tough part is getting the banshee.
