5. Weapons, Enemies n' Stuff :WEPNENEMSTF:
-*****0000001111112222222111111000000******-
This section is designed to tell you about the weapons and stuff in Halo. Here
I will speak out about weapons, vehicles, etc. and give ratings too.
WEAPON STATS
Assault Rifle
Accuracy Rating - 4/10 *when held fuul autoe)
Range Rating - Short/Medium
Damage Rating - 8/10
Melee Rating - 10
Overall Rating - 8/10
Every man's dream is to wrap their hands around this baby. MAN, it is sweet!
I used this on Legendary to take down a swarm of Flood when I held it full
automatic!!! I know, that SEEMS impossible, but....
Human Pistol
Accuracy Rating - 10
Range Rating - All Around
Damage Rating - 9.9/10
Melee Rating - 4/10
Overall Rating - 7/10
The equalizer. On a multiplayer game, if you have it, USE IT. You can drop a
target with headshots in 2-5 seconds. Overshield problems? Fuhgedaboutit. 1
clip will kill any mofoes bothering you. Overshield/active camo? Screw that,
RUN!
Plasma Pistol
Accuracy Rating - 6/10
Range Rating - All Around
Damage Rating - 5/10
Melee Rating - 7/10
Overall Rating - 6.4/10
MY baby. *makes a cat hissing sound* STAY AWAY!!!! Seriously, this weapon can
drop a target before they realize it.
Plasma Rifle
Accuracy Rating - 3/10
Range Rating - Short/Medium
Damage Rating - 6/10
Melee Rating - 4/10
Overall Rating - 4.5/10
This weapon is almost crap. I swear. If I see another Plasma Rifle, it will be
TOO SOON. Bad firing rate, the cool-off time is slow, I could go on for hours,
but I won't.
Rocket Launcher
Accuracy Rating - 1/10
Range Rating - Medium/Long
Damage Rating - 9/10
Melee Rating - 7/10
Overall Rating - 4/10
When you see a rocket come after you, here's what you do:
oo
o  o                II
o  o                 II
oo                   II
iiiIIiiii                II
II        IIIIIIIIIIIIII
II                    II
IIII                  II
II  II                II

Sniper Rifle
Accuracy Rating - 10
Range Rating - Medium/Long
Damage Rating - 9/10
Melee Rating - 8/10
Overall Rating - 9/10
When you see this thing not kill something in at least 3 clips, tell me.
Needler
Accuracy Rating - 5/10
Range Rating - All Around
Damage Rating - 2/10 for individual rounds- a perfect 10 for the Needle
Explosion
Melee Rating - 6/10
Overall Rating - 9/10
The Needler is a GREAT all around weapon, especially if you empty out the
whole magazine. It's funny to shoot out an entire thing onto one Elite and
watch him run to his buddies. Most entertaining thing EVER.
Shotgun
Accuracy Rating - 3/10
Range Rating - Short/Medium
Damage Rating - 9/10
Melee Rating - 6/10
Overall Rating - 8/10
The shotgun is a good all around weapon, most useful on Blue Elites,
Grunts, and the Flood. Bullets spread, lowering the accuracy rating.
Energy Sword
Rate of fire - Only takes one swipe to kill
Accuracy Rating - Sharp
Range Rating - Lethal
Damage Rating - Lethal
Melee Rating - Lethal
Overall Rating - Lethal
RUN. That's all I can say to beginners. Run your ass. this thing is the most
deadly of them all. Thank god we get it in Halo 2.
Plasma Grenade
Rate of fire - One every 3-4 seconds
Accuracy Rating - 5/10
Range Rating - 10
Damage Rating - 10 if stuck to someone/7 splash damage
Melee Rating - WTF? Can't melee someone with it, so None
Overall Rating - 8/10
Get this sucker stuck to your head and you are mincemeat.
Fragmentation Grenade
Rate of fire - One every 2-4 seconds
Accuracy Rating - 7/10
Range Rating - 10
Damage Rating - 10 if thrown under someone's feet/9 splash damage
Melee Rating - WTF? Can't melee someone with it, so None
Overall Rating - 9/10
Slightly better than plasma grenades, mainly because i've seen the videos of
cool stuff being done with these suckers.
VEHICLE STATS
Warthog
Speed Rating - 8/10
Maneuverability - 7/10
Weapon Rating - 10
Chance of Roll over - Severe
Overall Rating - 6/10
Actually, I have to change my opinions about the 'Hog. Why I hated it before is
completely unknown.
Ghost
Speed Rating - 4/10
Maneuverability - 9/10
Weapon Rating - 6/10
Chance of Roll over - Moderate to Huge
Overall Rating - 8/10
An all around vehicle.
Scorpion Tank
Speed Rating - 2/10
Maneuverability - 6/10
Weapon Rating - Almost Lethal
Chance of Roll over - Close to None
Overall Rating - 9/10
Who needs a speedy vehicle when you have a badass weapon with a machine gun? I
shure don't.
ENEMIES-
The Covenant
Elites-
The Different Types:
Blue Elite (Rank: Minor): This is the most common Elite, you'll see
them the most out of the Elite. They are fairly strong (on Easy, if you
forgot what I'm referring to), and shoot well. Once you take off their
shield, they yell, and you'll know you've pretty much finished them off
(this last sentance goes for all Elite!).
Red Elite (Rank: Major): Less common than Blue, but still fairly
common. They are stronger than the Blue considerbly, so watch out for
them! Just remember they aren't as common as Blue, so don't get
scared!!
Gold Elite: Rare, but VERY powerful. They take a lot of shots to kill,
but nothing a close range shotgun blast will take care of (EASY
difficulty!). They are quite rare, but you'll see them a few times in
the game. Besides having a gun, there are Golden Sword Elite! These
things can kill you in one hit (Normal and above), or 2 on Easy! Watch
out, and keep your distance!
Black Elite (Rank: Spec Ops): I almost missed this one! It is found in
Level 9, Keyes, and is quite powerful. Not as strong as silver, but not
as weak as red. They are highly skilled, and your best bet is to hide
and shoot, hide and shoot.
Silver Elite (Rank: Spec Ops): The rarest of them all! These are only
found on Level 10 amd Level 9, luckily. There are very strong, and are
tough even on Easy! They take a lot of hits, can deal damage well,
throw grenades, and melee good! No sword versions, thank god!
Invisible Elite: The most annoying of all, they are totally invisible from
long distance, and hard to see even up close! Your best bet is to use
an Assault Rifle to guess where they are because when you hit them, you
can see them for a few seconds.
NOTE: If you use 2x Magnification on the Sniper Rifle, you can see the
ripples that they make. You can shoot them then.
Strength: Elite are very powerful in their shield and physical body.
They take a lot of hits to kill, but on Easy the Blue Elite are still
pretty easy. They shoot good, powerful, watch out! Plasma weapons work
great against them, so pick one up!
When fighting the Elites, a good way of dealing with them is to run at
them and shoot them with an entire clip of the assualt rifle, and if
they're not dead, either switch to a second gun while reloading the
assault rifle, or continue towards them and sidestep when they attack
with melee and punch their back.
To know where the invisible Elites are, look for the ripples they make.
Fortunately, the plasma sword wielders are very conspicious, so they
can't kill you without you seeing their sword.
Difficulty Rating: 5.75/10
Legendary Note: Elites are incredibly tough on Legendary, even the Blue
ones! They shoot VERY quickly, and take a full clip (60 shots) of an
assault rifle! Red, Gold and Silver are insanely tough to kill (just
takes a while). Best bet is to hide to reload, and don't get close!
Legendary Rating: 9.0/10
Grunts-
What they look like: Grunts are the smallest Covenant. They come in
several different colors, but the most common body armor color you'll
see is orange. They are roughly 5 feet tall.
What weapons they use: Grunts most commonly use Plasma Pistols, Plasma
Grenades, Plasma Rifles, and Needlers. They aren't that good of a shot,
so you don't have to worry too much.
The Different Types:
Orange Grunts (Rank: Minor Grunt): The most common, they are seen on
every level with Covenant. They are fairly easy to kill, one or two
shots with the Pistol will take them down.
Red Grunts (Rank: Major Grunt): There are usually one or two of these
around where there are groups of Grunts. My guess is they are Captain
Grunts. They can take more damage than normal (orange) Grunts, but
still should be nothing to worry about.
Silver Grunts: These Grunts appear on Level 10, The Maw, as well as
Level 9, Keyes. They have Silver colored body armor, purple colored
skin, and carry a big gun (not anything you can use, the fuel rod
cannon that are on Banshees and Hunters). They take more shots to kill,
but nothing a well placed head shot can do :).
Black Grunts: Supposedly appear on Level 9 and 10 as well. They more
than likely use the same weapons as the Silver ones, but I'll get
back to you all on this one.
Strength: The overall strength of the Grunt is very weak, just a couple
of shot with any gun will take them down (excluding the Rocket
Launcher, it'll kill pratically anything in one hit). Useless, weak,
pathetic, sucky, they're just annoying.
Difficulty Rating: 1.25/10
Legendary Note: These little pests can hold their own in groups on
Legendary. With groups, I recommend that you use a grenade, or hide by
a wall, peek out, shoot, hide, or sidestep like crazy.
Legendary Rating: 3/10
Jackals-
What they look like: Jackal are blue Covenant hiding behind their
shields. Their shields come in different colors (explained later), and
are fairly common. About 5'8" tall.
What weapons they use: Jackals are seen only using Plasma Pistols. They
can shoot fairly well, so be careful! (Fast on Legendary too!)
The Different Types:
Blue Shield Jackals (Rank: Minor): This is the most common type of
Jackal. Whenever there is a Jackal, it's usually this one. They are
weaker than the Gold Shield Jackals (in terms of Body Strength AND
Shield Strength), but should still be treated with caution.
Gold Shield Jackals (Rank: Major): This Jackal is not as common as the
Blue Shield Jackals, as they are stronger in Body Strength, and take 2
melee attacks to kill (on Easy). Tougher, but still nothing to get
scared about!
Strength: As mentioned above, Jackals are good shots, take a few hits
to kill, and to hurt them you have to shoot that little spot where
their gun is, otherwise a grenade or melee attack will do. You can't
destroy their shield with human weapons, but plasma weapons will do
nicely to wear it off.
Against the Jackals, an effective way of the beating them is to keep
shooting them with the assualt rifle and run towards them. It seems
that they usually hide behind their shields and stop firing. When your
close enough, you can melee them to death. The only problem with this
tactic is that it uses a lot of ammo. But if you're lucky, you could
have hit his arm by the side holes and have killed him after you
unbalanced him.
Difficulty Rating: 4.25/10
Legendary Note: Jackals can be a real problem when well positioned on
Legendary (like up high and far away). They shoot quick and accurate,
so you can't use a scope to hit them up close (which is a good
technique on Easy and Normal). Tough!
Legendary Rating: 6.5/10
Hunters-
What they look like: Hunters are about 8 feet tall. They have spike
like things on their back, and have blue armor, a grey unkown alloy
shield, and their orange skin. If you look at their visor, it's green
underneath.
What weapons they use: Hunters only use one weapon: The Fuel Rod Cannon
(which are found on Banshees, used by pressing the L trigger, explained
later!). They will use their shield to melee attack you when you're up
close, so stay far away!
The Different Types:
Blue Armor Hunters: This is the only type of Hunter in the game (to my
best of knowledge). I've explained what it looks like before. They are
quite powerful, as if you don't hit them in the right spot(s), they
will only take about 1/8th of the damage! (explained below!)
Strength: Hunters are very strong, as they will use their shield to
block your attacks. If you have a rocket launcher, by all means use it!
Otherwise, hit the orange parts, that seems to do more damage to them.
It only took me one shot with the pistol to kill it by hitting it in
the orange spot!
Against hunters, I use an ammo conserving way. Usually, you find them
in twos with no other enemies around, so it's easier to kill them. You
can use a pistol, sniper rifle, needler or plasma pistol. If you don't
happen to have those, you can use a plasma grenade, but it's harder.
This is very simple, run up to one of the hunters, whilst dodging the
fuel rod shots, and sidestep when they charge. This should cause them
to have their backs facing you and you just basically shoot their
orange spot. Or plant a plasma grenade on it and run like hell. Another
way of fighting them without firing a single bullet is to do the same
thing, but melee his orange spot instead.
Difficulty Rating: 4.5/10
Legendary Note: Hunters aren't much different on Legendary than the
other difficulties. They do more damage when they hit, so stay back,
use a scope weapon to pick off their weak spots. Not too hard, stay
back and dodge!
Legendary Rating: 5.25/10

"Revielle"
Watch the cutscene. A good cutscene. When you get control of your view, follow
the instructions that the instructors give you. When you get out of the
cryotube, follow these instructions. When the Covenant raid the lookout room,
wait until the guy gets there, and then when he says, "This way!", leave the
room, but do not follow him to the door. Instead, head forward until about
halfway through the hall, then look left. You should see a pipe barricade.
Jump over that and continue going right. Once you get through the second door,
crouch-walk under the half-closed blast door. Go right, and once you get to a
blast door, turn around. You will see a door on your right. Head through that,
and when you get to the Elite, ignore him and run left. At the end of this
hallway, turn right. Run to the marine standing at the other side of this
hallway. Just jump over him, then continue through this room until you reach
the door, then turn left. Go to the end and turn right. Keep following this
VERY linear hallway. When you get to a right turn, go that way. You are now
on the bridge. Go to the end of the bridge and trigger the cutscene (skip if
you want).
"AI Construct Cyborgs First"
Keyes doesn't keep his gun loaded? WE'RE SCREWED!!!!!1!!!!!!1!!!!!
Now time to start backtracking. Once you get the pistol ammo, (it triggers
itself, so don't bother looking) head into the cafeteria. Kill all and
anything you see in the cafeteria, and then head to where they poured out
the second time. Kill these grunts, then head to the middle of the small room
outside of the cafeteria and head through the hallway. Damned Covie bastards
are everywhere. Head to the Marines, then the PoA will shake. One of the
Marines says something, then head right, then left. Head left at the end of
this hallway, then walk to the airlock door. Kill these Covenant that come out
then go into the covenant ship to get an overshield. Walk out then head right.
Go left from there and look for a door. Head into it and kill these Covenant.
Go right at the end then go left. You should see Marines WAY further down the
hallway. Mid way down the hallway, there will be another fork in the road.
Head right down this hallway, then go left. Kill these Covenant, then go right.
Go left, then straight. Kill all the Covenant after going left again. If your
overshield ran out, go into this Covenant ship to get a new one. Head left if
you didn't go to the lifeboat. Head right, then crouch-walk under this
barricade.
Kill all the Covies in this area (and the Marines too, if you feel
evil.), then head left at the intersection facing the same direction you came
in. Go right, then straight. Go left, then right. Hike up the stairs then kill
all these Covenant also. Go through the opening with '2' marked on the side.
Head right then straight. Kill the Covenant,  then head right. Kill these
Grunts then head left. Kill everything in this area, then head right. Go right
at the end of this hallway. Head left then use your pistol (if you got one) to
snipe these Grunts. Head straight through this hallway, then go right. Wait
until Cortana stops talking, then go through the door on your right. Go about
3 feet, then head left. Head right, then left. head right again, then go
straight, then more than halfway down this hall, go right. Go straight, and
through this door. Go to the half-bent door and melee it open. Go left, then
straight. Go left again, then melee the grunt in the back if the game spawned
it. Go through the first entrance on the left. Turn right, then kill these
Covenant. Go to the second entrance on your right, then it's pretty simple.
When you see an Elite in the distance, if you kept your pistol, shoot it
enough until an explosion happens. Go to the end of this hallway then go right
Kill these Grunts if the next explosion fails to wipe them all out. Go left
near the burning barrels. Once you go through this door, go right at the
end, then kill these grunts. Go left then straight. Go right at the end, then
just keep going. Go through this door, then kill these Covenant. Head left,
straight, then left again. Kill these grunts, then head right. Kill everything
you see, then go left. This is where you learn how to use grenades. Kill the
Covenant here then head through the third shuttle bay door on your right (if
you stayed near the grenades). Con-freakin'-gratulations! You finished the
first level out of the ten in the game. Levels will get harder from here; be
prepared.

"Flawless Cowboy"
You start out in a downed lifeboat. Step out and just look at the excellent
scenery. Beautiful, ain't it? Head to the bridge on your left, then go across.
Go right up this hill. You may want to blow up the Banshees that show up. Go
over the hill and kill every Covie you see here. Go through the gap and kill
these Covenant around the next bend at the large structure. Wait here at the
structure. You now will have to fight off 5-9 waves of Covenant, depending on
the difficulty. Once Foe Hammer drops off the Warthog, get in and drive to a
tunnel. Wait for a few seconds and a NAV Point will show up. When it does,
drive to it and through the tunnel. It is straightforward, so don't worry.
When you reach the big area, get out of your Warthog and head right
through a gap in the wall. There will be a red Elite in there. Kill it
and head forward to a switch. Flip it and you will see a mini cutscene. Head
back the same way you came, but go over the bridge. Head through this tunnel
all the way outside.
"Reunion Tour"
There are three ways to take this. Go to the entrance on the cliff directly in
front of you. Kill ALL of the Covies in this area and rescue the Marines. They
are in the first structure you go by. When Foe Hammer comes (you will know
when after Cortana calls her with the radio), get back to your Warthog. Now you
will have to go to one of the following areas first:
'The Rockslide Area'
Head out the same way you came and head forward, the opposite way of the
tunnel. Head right at the first gap in the wall. Here you will have to fend
off 5-8 waves of Covenant (depending on which difficulty you chose).
When you do, leave when the dropship comes.
'The Hillside Area'
Head out of the same gap then go further right. You will see a gap in the left
wall. Go in there and fend off 5-7 waves of Covies. This time, don't leave
when the dropship comes. Get in the dropship. Piece of cake.

"Truth and Reconciliation"
You get dropped off on a cliffside with several other Marines. You now have to
covertly kill the Covenant in the next area. When you do, or if you do, head
over to the next cliffside. Kill all of the grunts and jackals here. Now head
over to the next area and kill all of the covies here. Here's a beginner's
tip:
From where you entered this area, go straight. Go around the mini-cliff. Go
into that enclosed area on your right. Go through the gap in the wall.
Finish off all waves of the Covies in this area. Get into the lift.
"Into the Belly of the Beast"
In here, you will have to fend off 8-12 waves of Covenant. End their miserable
lives for them. Now head through a white marked door. You will know what I'm
talking about when you look at the rest of the doors. Well, it should be
marked with a NAV Point. When it shows up, go through the door and make your
way to the end of the hallway. Kill all of the Covies that you can. Go through
the NAVPoint marked door and follow the hallway. The only way I can remember
how I did this is, as long as you are fighting Covies, you are going in the
right direction. Use that to make your way to the control room of the ship.
Once you get there, use the first doorway on your right to snipe the Gold
Elite in the head. Stand in the doorway and crouch when you do this so you
aren't seen and so you don't alert the rest. Once they all have lead in their
goddamn heads, head into the door that was straight across from the way you
came in. Head through this way and continue heading to the cellblock. When you
get there, stand in the door and surprise them. *joke*I swear, I saw the
grunts wearing skirts!*end joke* Release the doorlocks and run to the
captain's block on the right.
"Shut Up and Get Behind Me... Sir"
You now have to find a way off the ship. Wait for the cloaked Elites to come
through the door. Pump their asses full'a lead. Head through the same door
and end these Grunts' and Jackals' lives fast and painful. Head left. Make
your way though this hallway until you make it to the control room. Cortana
will initiate a radio conversation with Foe Hammer. She can't get in because
of two Banshees. You now have to get to the ship bay. Follow the NAVPoint.
You will make it there after a kinda-long hallway. Release the locks on the
dropship. The switch is behind it, on the third floor. Watch the cutscene.
Now to find the Silent Cartographer.

"Silent Cartographer"
You get dropped along with 4 Marines and another Pelican on a beach which
now you kill all of these Covenant. When you get the Warthog, go forward
to the next area. Have your Marines lay waste to the Covies here. Go up the
hill. Fight your way into the structure. When you get to the door, it will
automatically shut, preventing all access into the building. **** ***damn
mother****ing son of a *****. ****in' Covie bastards slammed the door on us.
Head back out.
Take your Warthog to the right and keep driving until you see
a gap in the cliffside. Get out and run in. Kill everything you see along
this path. Run into the next area and kill these two Hunters. Now head forward
into the next area and kill all of the Covenant. Now head into the next area
and kill these Grunts. Run into the structure and head left at the bottom.
Two Hunters will show up at the other end of the room. I think you know what
to do here. After they're dead, run either left or right around this wall and
head forward. Deactivate the security system.
"It's Quiet"
After shutting down the secutrity system, head back out to the room. There
will be two to five invisible Elites. Snuff them and head out. Now head back
to the Marines. Now drive back to the place where they slammed the door on us.
Drive up the hill and over the Jackals. Head in the structure and run through
the tunnel.
"Shafted"
Head right after it says the chapter name to see a cutscene. Head through the
left way this time. Melee the Elite in the back, then head up the ramp on the
right. Run into the room and kill the Covenant in here. There will be a door
somewhere in this room. Go through it and kill the Jackals in here and head
down. Now kill the Hunters as well as the other Covenant. Find a hole in the
wall. Go down to the lower level. Kill all Covenant. You'll see why in a
moment. Now, find your way to the map room. I'll give you a hint - look for
the outside part on the lowermost level. It's on the right facing the outside.
Now head back the same way you came. Run outside to the edge, be sure to take
care of the invisible Elites. When you do, the Pelican will come. Jump in and
watch the cutscene. Now comes a particularly easier level, if you're good
enough.

"I Would Have Been Your Daddy..."
As soon as you jump out of the Dropship, a few enemies will make their way
through the door on the right. To cliff on the left leads to death, so try not
to fall off while fighting. There are multiple ways of dealing with the
Covenants that come: you can always use those shields that are set up for
protection and take them out by standard fire, or you can even jump on one of
those Shade guns and start killing Covenants, concentrating on the Elites
first. After dealing with the Covenants, make your way through the door on the
right. At the entrance, take note of that white arrow on the floor. These arrow
will become useful later on if you are having trouble finding the right exit in
a particular room. Make your way through the corridor and you will soon meet a
Grunt. The best course of action might be to take it out with a melee attack.
Beyond the Grunt, there is a door that leads into a room filled with Covenants.
This circular room has an outer pathway, with a room in the middle. Covenants
will be strategically positioned all around, so use the structures and walls
for cover. Also, you might eventually want to trade your Assault Rifle for a
covenant weapon. Use plasma grenades liberally, as they can be found around
almost every dead Covenant. After the Covenants are dead, you should find a
door on the other side of the room. In case you are not sure which door to
take, use the arrows on the floor (in front of each door) as reference points.
Go through the door and follow the corridor. You will soon come to another
door; behold, the snow. Beautious as it may be, this is no tourist spot. You
will see a Dropship as you approach the door leading outside. The Dropship is
requesting help. Ahead is a bridge that leads to the next area. You have a few
options here:
(A)If you wait for the entire message from the Dropship, Grunts will wake up
and start using the Shade guns to the left and right of the door you are coming
out of. You will have to take them out while they are shooting at you, which
can be risky.
(B)If you go immediately out the door, even before the Dropship is in site, the
Grunts will be asleep. There are two just behind the Shade guns, and two a
little bit further along the bridge. If you use melee attacks, the Grunts will
not wake up and will instantly die. This is much safer.
After the Dropship lands, however, all enemies on the bridge will be alerted.
One thing to note, this bridge has two levels. On the left and right sides of
the bridge, you will find ramps leading down to a lower level of the bridge.
There are Covenants here as well. Make your way across the bridge, taking out
the Covenant forces as you go. There are a few Elites, several Grunts and
several Jackals. There is also an Elite with a plasma sword. Those structures
in the middle of the bridge make for good cover spots. You don't have to take
out the Covenants below, but if you do not, they could sneak up on you from
behind. If you happen to look over the side of the bridge, you will see a nice
valley below. You will be here soon, but you can't simply jump down as the fall
would kill you. On the other side of the bridge, you will find two more Shade
guns. Most likely, Grunts will be using them so take them out quickly. Exit the
door at the end of the bridge. Follow the corridor to another circular room.
The exit to this room is just to the right of the entrance, but a solid wall
blocks your path and you must travel almost all the way around to reach it. So,
travel around this room in a clockwise direction to reach the exit. Almost half
way around the room, on the left side, you will find a First Aid kit, some
ammo, and a few fragmentation grenades, lying right next to the dead Marines.
Continue in a clockwise direction, taking out the Covenants as you see them.
Some Covenants are in the center of the room while others are at a higher
elevation, so just be careful. When you are through, find the exit and follow
the path. This path will lead to a lift. Get on it, and press the switch to go
down.
At the bottom of the lift, follow the corridor and you should see some sleeping
Grunts in the new hall. Take them out using melee attacks, and enter the large,
circular room. This room can be confusing during chaotic fights. The room has a
circular path around the outside, with an inner room. The left side of the path
is blocked off, so you will have to travel in a counter-clockwise direction. As
you make your way around the room, continue using melee attacks until the
Covenants have been alerted of your presence. There are a few Elite in the
room, along with several Jackals and Grunts. Use the structures that litter the
path to dodge incoming fire, and remember to take out the enemies in the center
room. The exit is marked by a white arrow and is located almost all the way
around the room. Leave the room and follow the corridor. You will emerge at the
bottom of a snow-covered canyon; the very canyon you might have seen from the
bridge above.
This new snow-covered area can be daunting at first. As you enter this area,
you should notice a battle raging on to the left; these are the Marines, and
they are using Covenant weapons! If you take out the Shade gunner on the left,
you can use the Shade gun to take out another Shade gun turret across from the
Marines. There is a small group of Covenants fighting the Marines, so go help
them out. An Elite will board one of those Ghost vehicles parked near the
canyon wall, opposite the side you entered. Stick a plasma grenade to it and
his ride will end. Or, if you do not wish to damage the Ghost, you can shoot
the Elite directly since he is exposed. Now you can drive the Ghost around and
run over and/or shoot any remaining Covenants to help out the Marines. There
should be another Ghost, unused, parked near the area the Elite found his. You
should also notice the large, blue, plasmatic energy balls landing near your
area. This is from the Covenant tank, however, you will not be able to pilot
this vehicle. This vehicle is quite dangerous, so use a few grenades to take it
out quickly. Near the overturned Warthog you will find a First Aid kit, ammo, a
Sniper Rifle, and a Rocket Launcher. You can also find additional rockets
behind a rock near the area where the two Ghosts were parked. After taking out
the Covenants, get what you need and head in the direction that the Marines
were firing. (If there are any surviving Marines, I would take the Warthog for
the extra firepower. If the Marines are dead, however, the Ghost vehicle will
work better because you can drive and shoot at the same time.) As you make your
way through the canyon, be sure to take out all of the Covenants as quickly as
possible. There are a few groups of Jackals up ahead, but running over them
will take them out quickly. Just before the canyon curvs to the right, there is
a semi-steep drop-off that you must drive down. Just keep enough speed so that
you don't flip when you go over the edge.
After the drop-off, you will notice a few things: there are more Marines
