'''Nightfall''' is the fourth [[campaign]] level of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/haloreach/video/6272121/halo-reach-interview--campaign '''Gamespot''' - ''Halo: Reach'' Interview]</ref>

 

*'''[[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Kat-B320]] (COM)''': "Then we're closing in. Report any Covenant structures or devices. Direct action may be necessary."

''Noble Six slides down the ledge to the ground below. Cuts to his/her point of view as he/she reaches the ground.''

''They advance further, engaging more Covenant troops and a [[Type-26 Shade|Shade]] turret.''

''As they advance further in, they encounter more Covenant troops and several more Shades. Soon, a {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} is seen holding position on the other side of the rock wall.''

''Jun and Six go prone and crawl forward towards a cliff edge. A Covenant [[Type-38 Tyrant|Tyrant]] is standing in front of a massive Covenant landing zone. Two Covenant corvettes hold position nearby. Additionally, two [[Covenant Spire]]s are seen far away.''

|Beat Nightfall on [[Normal]] difficulty or harder.

*Jun is known to accidentally shoot the player if he/she assassinates the target he is firing at, causing the player health to go down or even die. That is because the friendly AI regards the enemies that are assassinated as being alive until the player finishes the animation, and Sniper Rifle rounds can penetrate opponents.

*By [[Nightfall forklift glitch|exiting a Forklift]] when it is parked next to the locked gate at the Stealth Pylon, a player can jump straight through the gate after a few tries, skipping the Hunter encounter. The next area will be entirely devoid of enemies; the player can then simply sprint to the end of the level. This is a very useful glitch when playing on Legendary. The ending cutscene will also feature two different tracks being played at once. Furthermore, the [[Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon|Tyrant]] will not be seen in the area. Note that this will not work on [[Cooperative Play]].

*The chapter "I'll Just Leave This Here..." is a reference to the internet meme "i'm just going to leave this here", which is "commonly used as a title or intro to a blog/forum post, followed by an image or video (usually of a humorous nature)",<ref>[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/im-just-going-to-leave-this-here '''Know Your Meme''': ''I'm just going to leave this here'']</ref> and in the game, Jun leaves an explosive charge on the pylon.

*The Sniper Rifle given to Noble Six at the start of the mission has more ammunition capacity than normal. This is mission-specific only, as Nightfall is primarily a sniper mission. This is similar to the mission ''[[Truth and Reconciliation (level)|Truth and Reconciliation]]'' from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', in which [[John-117]] uses a Sniper Rifle with above-normal ammunition capacity. The player's secondary weapon also has increased capacity, though this is often overlooked. But in Co-op the ammunition is at normal capacity.
