Forerunner is the third campaign level of Halo 4.[1] Completing the level earns the player the Forerunner achievement. The level-exclusive achievement This is my Rifle, this is my Gun is awarded for carrying a UNSC weapon all the way through the level on Heroic or harder.[2]
The level is mainly set in a rocky region on the surface of the shield world Requiem and eventually moves to a series of Forerunner structures, including a satellite station inside the shell enveloping the shield world. The prototype UNSC warship UNSC Infinity has arrived near Requiem to investigate Cortana's distress beacon, and the Master Chief must disable a beam array that is causing communications interference preventing Cortana from contacting the Infinity in order to warn the ship about Requiem's defenses. On the way to the main objective, the player faces opposition from both the Prometheans occupying the shield world as well as Storm forces. After deactivating the beam tower, the Chief uses a series of translocation portals to reach what Cortana assumes to be a relay satellite, while Storm warships converge on the same location; instead of a communications relay, however, the satellite turns out to house the Didact's Cryptum.[3]
