| | ==Summary== |
| | '''343 Guilty Spark''' is a campaign level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. It takes place at the Battle of the [[Alpha Halo]] Containment Facility. This is the first time we see the [[Flood]] in the Halo trilogy. It is also the first level you'll use the [[shotgun]], the last level where you will be aided by [[Marines]] which are at the end of the level, and the only level where you fight Covenant enemies without fighting the [[Elites]]. |
| | The first chapter of the level is set in a rainforest, and the second chapter, "The Flood" is set in the Containment Facility. Many players regard this as the scariest level in the game, and some regard it as the scariest level in ''any'' game.{{Fact}} |
|
| |
|
| '''343 Guilty Spark''' is the sixth [[campaign]] level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.

| In the swamps near a [[Flood containment facility]] on the surface of Installation 04, John-117 is dropped from ''[[Echo 419]]'' to search for [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] who has been out of contact for over 12 hours. Soon, the Master Chief stumbles upon a structure and ventures within it, only to find out that the Marines accompanying the Captain have been slaughtered by [[Flood|an unknown force]]. After realizing the fate of the Marines, John fights his way out to the swamp and encounters [[343 Guilty Spark|a questionable ally]].

| ''John-117 quickly finds the crashed dropship sending the message. There are weapons and supplies piled nearby, but no signs of life. An explosion in the distance throws the bodies of an Unggoy and a Kig-Yar through the air. He heads off to investigate and finds a crashed Covenant [[Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit]].''

| ''The Chief also encounters a small group of Unggoy and Kig-Yar, which he quickly eliminates, before crossing a log bridge. As he moves across the bridge, he sees several [[Flood combat form|shadowy figures]] running around on the top of the cliff to the right. Also, his [[motion tracker]] shows seemingly friendly units in the swamp not too far from his location, but they suddenly disappear off radar.''

|
| ''John-117 passes through several large rooms and many smaller ones inside the structure, filled with Unggoy, Kig-Yar, empty Shade turrets, discarded weapons, and dead bodies - both Marine and Covenant. Curiously there is no sign of any [[Sangheili]], alive or dead. In some rooms, Kig-Yar and Unggoy gather at the doorways as if expecting an attack. In one room, the Chief discovers a strange green-yellow substance falling from the ceiling.'' | | '''[[Sergeant Johnson]]:''' "Watch your mouth, son. This "stuff" is your history.

| ''John-117 leaves him, and makes his way into the room, which is covered in dead Covenant bodies, blood, bullet holes and plasma scoring. Some areas of the floor are blackened with blasts from explosions. In some areas, small flecks of a greenish substance are found on the floor. The Chief finds a partially shattered walkway and ascends to the second floor. An assault rifle lies on the ground, pointing like an arrow towards the entrance of a room marked with ominous red Forerunner glyphs. The door appears to have been forced open. The Chief goes in, passes a dead Marine, and walks down a ramp.'' | | '''Sergeant Johnson:''' "Mendoza! Move it up!" |

He turns around, gun ready to shoot, but sees nothing. After a moment, he turns back to the door, places his gun on his shoulder and opens the door. When it opens, the body of a Marine falls into his arms. He advances a few paces, places the body on the floor gently while making sure nobody follows him through. He sweeps his assault rifle about the room.'' | | '''Sergeant Johnson:''' "Okay, let's move!" |
|
| |
|
| ''The floor is covered in [[human]] [[blood]]. Discarded UNSC weapons litter the floor. John-117 also notices a helmet lying on the floor, and, crouching, moves swiftly towards it. Once there, he surveys the room one more time, places his rifle on the floor, and picks up the helmet. The name "JENKINS" is stamped across it. There is a large, jagged hole punched through the top of it. The Master Chief shakes his head. He then examines the helmet more closely and notices that the [[helmet recorder]], near the [[Heads-up display]], is still intact. He retrieves the [[M4 field disk]] and inserts it into a socket in his helmet.''

| *'''Kappus''': "Sarge! Listen!"
| | This is a lot vaguer place than any level in all the rest of the Halo series, keep your calm, nothing will attack you, just keep track on your motion tracker, use your flashlight sparingly. |
| | |
| ''The odd hissing noise grows louder and louder. Everyone scans the room, trying to find the source of the strange sounds.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Jenkins''': "What is ''that''?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Johnson''': "Where's that coming from, Mendoza?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Mendoza''': "Everywhere... I don't - there! ''(Spanish) ¡Mira!''" ''(Look!)''

| ''Mendoza points to a nearby door, which has just exploded outwards. Small [[Pod infector|squid-like creatures]] swarm from it.''

| |

| ''Riley lies on the ground, one of the Pod infectors attached to his chest. Bisenti tries to pull it off him.''

| [[File:KeyesJohnsonCEA.png|thumb|300px|Sergeant Johnson and Captain Keyes fight back-to-back as their squad is overrun by the Flood.]]
| |
| | |
| *'''Johnson''': "Let 'em have it!"
| |
| | |
| ''The Marines and Captain Keyes open fire, to little effect. Pod infectors swarm them with overwhelming numbers.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Keyes''': "Sergeant, we're surrounded!"
| |
|
| |
|
| *'''Johnson''': "God ''dammit'', Jenkins! Fire your weapon!"
| | Walk over to the downed [[Pelican]]. Fill up with the ammo, on Easy you will always acquire a [[Shotgun]], but in Normal play through, Bungie have removed it so just fill up the ammo and continue. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Mendoza''': "There are too many, Sarge!"
| | Move down the path through the big puddle. A little up ahead, you will find a couple of dead Covenant with two [[Plasma Pistol]]s and one [[Needler]]. Ignore it; its dead empty. On the other hand, those [[Plasma Pistol]]s are fully charged. Ditch your [[Assault Rifle]] for one of them. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Johnson''': "Don't even ''think'' about it, Marine!"
| | There is a path leading up towards the ramp right up the Pelican Hill, there you would get an Active Camo, but it's practically useless unless you like to ambush some Grunts. |
|
| |
|
| ''As the chaotic firefight continues, Mendoza dashes for the exit, abandoning his fireteam.''
| | Aww, the fresh scent of a fully charged directed energy weapon. Move ahead, and you should see another downed covenant dropship, the [[Brilliant Gift]]. There is a small group of Grunts and Jackals (about six total). The Grunts are stupid enough to charge straight at you, so switch to your Human Pistol and pump each one a headshot. The Jackals tend to stay back, so time to get that [[Plasma Pistol]] ready. Feed each one an Overcharge, and melee them dead (to save Pistol ammo). |
| | Once they're gone, keep moving till you reach this sort of ramp made of a large tree root. There is a Jackal nestled in a crook on the other side, so feel free to feed him an Overcharge and a melee. Now go back for your other Fresh [[Plasma Pistol]]. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Mendoza''': "Yo, this is loco!"
| | Go across the tree bridge, and you should see a Shade on the other side.(When you are on the center of the tree bridge, look to your right. You should see a large metal pipe. Jump toward it and hike up along it's left side. Here, you will find one unit of Active Camo.) Keep moving, and you should see an explosion, and another group of Grunts/Jackals getting their alien asses kicked by (what I hope to be) Marines. Feel free to start unloading Overcharges on anything that moves. Once the main faction has been fried, go in and melee anything that remains. Now go back for your Assault Rifle (chill, you critics, i know what I'm doing!) |
|
| |
|
| *'''Keyes''': "Get back here, Marine! ''That's an order!''"
| | Well, if there were any Marines in the first place, they sure bugged out really quickly. Ah, well, you need to get used to being alone. Thats how its going to be from now on. Get on that lift and get down into this creepy structure. |
|
| |
|
| ''The Marine squad is overtaken, still firing, while their blood sprays as Pod infectors continue to crawl onto them. Another group of infectors drop from the ceiling, right between Johnson, Keyes and Jenkins.''
| | When you stop, switch to your AR and get ready to have some fun. In the little antechamber, there is another squad of Grunts/Jackals (where are the Elites?) Newbies prefer to toss a frag grenade among them, but I like to blow away the nearest Grunt to get their attention, then move through the other end of the antechamber and melee the first enemy in front of you, and repeat/rinse until their all dead. Serious fun.Or if you want to hear them scream toss a frag grenade in there. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Johnson''': "Jenkins!"
| | In the next room, grab a [[Plasma Pistol]] and send some Overcharges over to the Covenant on the floor. Once most of them are RIPing, grab your AR and get on the floor and beat the rest to death. Moving on to the next room, you'll see three Jackals; proceed to beat their brains out. In the next hallway, you should see a dead Jackal, a lot of Covie blood, and a small room full of mangled Covenant corpses. Obviously, this place has something thats lurking in its dark corners. Lets hope we don't run into it on a bad day. The next couple of rooms are just as creepy. |
|
| |
|
| ''Several infectors attack Jenkins, blocking out his helmet cam. The screen cuts to black.'' | | Eventually, you'll come to a room that has seen some serious combat. Bullet holes, plasma scoring, blood, mangled bodies, flaming wreckage, complete with one scared-out-of-his-mind Marine. That poor guy obviously saw some bad things going down, and he gives me the creeps even today. I sure hate to say it, but put him out of his misery. Just go in and melee him. After that grim job, go to the other side. You should probably find a fully charged [[Plasma Rifle]] (cooler than Fully charged [[Plasma Pistol]]!)Ditch your Pistol for it (yes, the Pistol!). Afterwards, get onto the second level, into the next room, and activate the light bridge and down the ramp into... |

|
| ===The Flood=== | | ===The Flood=== |
| '''{''Gameplay''}''' | | [[Image:Flood_attack.jpg|thumb|right|The Master Chief combats the Flood.]] |
| | After a you're ready, load your game and take a good look around the room. There are four doors on the ground level: behind you, in front of you, and on either side of you. To your left, there is a supply of Pistol and AR ammo (guess who its from?) Fill up on AR ammo, then go to the door in front of you. |
|
| |
|
| ''The door John-117 came through is now locked. Three doors holding dozens of Pod infectors break open one at a time, their inhabitants attacking him.''
| | Right about now, that door will bust open and a wave of those little squid things you saw in the cinematic (Flood Infection Forms) will come for you. A word to the wise: if one catches you with your shields down, you're in trouble. But just slowly unload a few dozen Assault Rifle rounds into the main faction and melee the survivors (No need to waste ammo). |
|
| |
|
| ''The entrance breaks open. Massive amounts of infectors skitter inside, followed by unarmed Sangheili combat forms.''
| | As you finish off the main portion, the door on your right is going to bust open too. Feel free to unload the rest of your AR clip into that swarm. |
|
| |
|
| ''John-117 escapes the facility, encountering Flood forms and some Covenant infantry struggling to survive.''
| | The door on your left is going bust open now, and this wave is pretty big, so I prefer to toss a Frag Grenade to clear out the first couple dozen, and unload on the rest with your automatic weapon. |
|
| |
|
| [[File:Scrn 036.jpg|thumb|250px|John is about to be attacked by [[Pod infector]]s that broke quarantine in the containment facility.]]
| | Now, the door you came through is going to bust open, revealing a bunch of Infection Forms and a couple of infected Elites. Tip for Pros: pause the game if you are hyperventilating. Once you're back to normal, unleash the pistol on them. The [[Flood]] don't have shields, but they pack one hell of a punch, and you want to stay pretty far away from them. Use the pistol on the general area of their chest, as they don't really have a head to aim at. The tentacles make a good target. |
|
| |
|
| ''John-117 tries to take the elevator he entered with, but while he waits for it to come down, it suddenly falls down and crashes down to the bottom of the facility.''
| | After a few seconds, all those nasty Flood should be dead. Head up the ramp you came in by, but watch out for more Combat Forms just waiting to ambush you. If you see them, you could always neatly blast them in the chest with your M6D, but it's more satisfying, in my opinion, to unload the MA5B on full auto. Ah, the joy of 7.62 mm rounds. |
|
| |
|
| ''After some fighting, John-117 arrives at another elevator, but it goes deeper underground and Unggoy blood is seen painted on the elevator's shaft. At the bottom of the shaft, he's attacked by armed combat forms - both infected Sangheili and humans. This detour forces him to fight his way back up.''
| | In the next room, a pack of Flood are taking on the [[Covenant]]. Stay on the upper level and exit through the door to the right. Head through the hallway to find yourself in another roomful of Flood, and this time there are no Covenant to distract them from you. Oh noes! Well, actually, this isn't as dire a situation as it looks like. Stay on the upper level and back into a corner. Fire a few shots to get the attention of the Flood. They'll all gather into your corner, but not one of them will have the brains to try and jump up onto your upper level. Now, between the wall and the upper level, there is a tiny crack. Just big enough for a frag grenade! Well, well! I don't think I have to tell you what to do here. Exit Flood. Drop down, clear out any survivors, and head through the door below the one you entered by. Follow the hall back to the previous room. |
|
| |
|
| ''John-117 eventually sees two (three on Easy/Normal difficulty) Marines armed with [[M90 shotgun|shotguns]] and assault rifles fighting the Flood.''
| | The Flood should be done with the Covenant here by now. Peek out of the hall, gun down anything close by with the M6D, and then retreat into the doorway. When the Flood come for you, unleash the AR on them, and rinse and repeat as necessary. Yes, you fools! Chew full metal jacket death! Ahem. Head back through the disgustingly blood-spattered hall to the door on the right. This next room has Covenant and Flood again. Wait a while for all the Covenant to die, then use the same strategy as before on the remaining Flood. Once everything is dead, jump up the stack of Covenant crates to get to the upper level. There might be a few Jackals or Grunts that hid from the Flood up here. Get them with the MA5B. |
|
| |
|
| ''Although their weapons give them a distinct advantage, a single Pod infector or a single combat form attack can kill them.'' | | There's two doors up here. One is near where the Covenant were. We'll go through there eventually, but right now, we want to power up the [[Bridges|Energy bridge]] and head directly across. Hey, the elevator you got down here on! Fancy that! Well, the Flood fancy it, anyway. They come at you in droves, but you can use the same strategy you've been using. Hold the doorway with the AR and grenades, then finish things up with a pistol. This is one of the reasons I dislike the Flood: they make most strategies ineffective, so that there's only one or two ways you can play each fight. Now, get on the elevator and press go! Shoot! I guess the Flood broke it. |
|
| |
|
| ''If they survive, they hold their position inside the room, saying the following in random order:'' | | Now, go back through the door the Covenant were at. Here we have no enemies (for once), a load of ammo and health (for once) and the M90 Shotgun (4EVAR!). The M90 is your prize; for the rest of the game, it'll be your go-to gun, as the pistol becomes gradually less effective. So, time to make use of the 8-gauge. This reduces the Flood from evil alien space zombies to playthings before your awesome might. |
|
| |
|
| *"This is suicide (man)!"
| | After the next hall, we come to another elevator room. This time, though, you don't need to camp in the doorway! Turn that shotgun on and blaze a path through the Flood. Once you're done, hop on the elevator and—well, sometimes you have to sink before you rise. Right? Well, you're going down. In more ways than one. |
|
| |
|
| *"I'm gone, man!"
| | The elevator shaft's bottom can be a bit tricky. The Flood have really got you surrounded here. Luckily, a bit of jumping around and M90-ing will see you through the danger. Head to the right side of the door, climb up on the crates, and grab the overshield as soon as those Flood are all dead. Amazingly, in the next room, there's a couple of Marines left. If you are able, you can save them, but mostly, you should just worry about yourself and let them eat the path. By "worry about yourself" I mean "be a cowardly fool". Grab one of the camouflages and start firing some shotgun rounds into the Flood down below, coupled with grenades whenever you feel one is needed. The shotgun, despite its reputation as a close-range nightmare, is actually pretty decent at long ranges too; you just need to aim carefully. After about a clip from it, those Flood should be dead. Once they're all cold, grab the other active camo and head down onto the lower level. Exit through the blown-out door. The next split-path hallway has Flood hiding on either side, so be careful. If you get surrounded, you're pretty much hosed. |
|
| |
|
| *"I'm not sticking around to get killed!"
| | The next room is pretty normal. Flood are on the lower and upper levels, but there aren't too many of them. Jump up on the flaming pile of rubble. Grab the ammo and health, then jump up onto the upper floor. Leave through the only open door. Keep going straight across the next room. Enter the next room. You're on top with Flood below. Luckily, you can use the "grenade through the wall gap" trick again, killing most of the Flood here. Drop down and blow away the survivors, then leave through the broken door. The next room is more or less the same as the last one, only now you're on the bottom. A shotgun shell for each Flood form, and you're on your way again. Directly across the room from the door you came in by is an exit. You'll run into a load of Flood in this hall, so open up with the shotgun. You're about to get a chance to refill on ammo, so don't worry about conservation. In the next room is a fallen pillar with health and a lot of needles and shells on top. Stock up, then jump from there to the upper level. The next hall is clear of Flood. |
|
| |
|
| *"We/I can't stop them!"
| | There is a [[Bridges|Energy bridge]] switch in this next area, as well as a bunch of Flood on the ground floor. You could try and clean them out, but I wouldn't recommend it. Extend the [[Bridges|Energy bridge]] and go across to the door. A LOT of Flood will come out—there's at least ten of them in the doorway, they're so bunched up that a couple of grenades can kill them all. Mop up the stragglers with the shotty. Head on through once you're sure everything is dead. Finally, another elevator. The first time I played this, I decided that if this elevator went down too, I would kill myself. |
|
| |
|
| *"Forget this!"
| | Luckily for you (and me) it goes up. There are a LOT of Marines up here—I count thirteen—and about half of them have shotguns. For a real challenge, try to kill them all. You might as well. They'll just die anyway, and it's good practice for multiplayer. |
|
| |
|
| *"Later, dude!"
| | Anyway, if you aren't a treacherous swine who kills his soldiers, stock up on ammo and health one more time and move out of the base. The Marines know where to go, but they won't last very long. Rule of thumb: stick to the left. When you see a structure with big blinking lights, get close to it and stay close. The Marines, if they aren't already dead, will be soon. Then a flying blue ball, actually [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] will show up. He will then teleport you to the next level. |
|
| |
|
| *"I've had enough of this crap!"
| | Interesting to note, by the way: it is possible for two 343 Guilty Sparks to appear in the cutscene—the one who's talking to the Chief and one floating aimlessly in the background. Probably just a glitch. |
|
| |
|
| *"I'm outta here!"
| | Another "glitch" is the event is when one of the Marines aiding you is Sgt. Johnson, despite the fact that he is canonically believed dead for some time after. This has happened on a couple of occasions, and is probably because he his character model is counted as a normal Marine in Halo: CE. Privates Bisenti, Jenkins and Mendoza can also appear, despite having been taken over by the Flood. |
| | |
| ''John-117 reaches the final elevator and rises to an exit from the structure.''
| |

| *'''Rawley (COM)''': "This is ''Echo 419''. Chief, is that you? I lost your signal when you disappeared inside the structure. What's going on down there? I'm tracking movement all over the place!"

| ''John-117 reaches the top where a trapped group of 10 Marines are holding out.''

| ==Production notes==
| |
| {{Main|Development of Halo: Combat Evolved}}
| |
| The design of ''343 Guilty Spark'' was initially developed by [[Bungie]] designer [[Paul Bertone]], but it was eventually given to fellow designer [[Jaime Griesemer]], who also addded splattered blood decals and the barricaded rooms.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=IGN|9ndZbg8Mr-Q|IGN|Halo: Combat Evolved Devs React to Speedrun (Martin O’Donnell, Marcus Lehto)}} Artists [[Justin Hayward]],{{Ref/Reuse|IGN}} [[Michael Wu]], and Eric Arroyo were responsible for the external environment; artist [[Shi Kai Wang]] also created concept art for the exterior swamp area.{{Ref/Book|AoH|Page=82-83}}
| |
| | |
| There was an idea for the Paranoid Marine earlier in the development of this level in which he will stay alive, and when the player walks a distance away from him there was going to be a loud bang. If the player comes back, he would be found dead on the floor.{{Ref/Film|Id=Commentary|[[Halo 3 Legendary Edition|''Halo 3'' Legendary Edition]], Halo: Combat Evolved developer commentary}}
| |
| | |
| According to Director of Cinematics [[Joseph Staten]], the creation of the mid-level cinematic was very time-consuming, as he needed to record every character's movement separately. The music playing during the Pelican ride with Sergeant Johnson and the Marines known as "[[flip music]]" is titled [[Shreddin']]. It was previously planned to license the song "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones. The pilot of the Pelican was voiced by [[Lorraine McLees]].{{Ref/Reuse|Commentary}} The dead Sangheili seen in the recording was specifically made for the cutscene due to it having its own file and model. Similarly, there is a unique Flood Pod infector used for Jenkin's recording cutscene. In the game's code, it is called a "nopop" and is specifically designed not to pop in the cutscene.
| |
| | |
| The events of the level were later expanded in the novel ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'':
| |
| *The Pelican, ''Victor 933'' have been only one of the many UNSC forces sent to investigate the alleged "weapons cache," thus explaining the reason for the large numbers of human [[Combat Forms]].
| |
| *John-117 took away the Crazed Marine's pistol and ordering him to calm down before returning the pistol to him. Although, the Marine never followed the orders.
| |
| *After encountering the Crazed Marine, John-117 also found the Elite later seen in Jenkins' helmet recording.
| |
| *The Corporal calling to Johnson and Keyes for help (voiced by [[Chris Carney]]) was identified as Corporal [[Lovik]].
| |
| *In the novel, Jenkins was the one who tried to run instead of Mendoza.
| |
| *John-117's initial encounter with human combat forms had the Spartan meeting an infected Mendoza and trying to communicate with the combat form, before being forced to defend himself from the aggressive combat form.
| |
| *When escaping from the facility, John-117 was noted to have been amazed to see that two to three marines were actually still present inside of the facility.
| |
| | |
| Avery Johnson's escape from the facility was depicted in ''[[Breaking Quarantine]]'' from the ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', while ''[[The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor]]'' briefly depicted John-117 in the swamp during the events of this level.

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| {{Cleanup|section}}
| | *The swamps are covered by some kind of glowing plants. Similar plants may be seen in [[High Charity]] in ''[[Halo 2]]''. |
| ===Glitches===
| | *At the start of the level, the [[Flood]] which runs into the mist at the big tree and the hill will appear as yellow blips, indicating that they are allies. This may be an error by the motion sensor as later on in the game, they become enemies. Another possible explanation is that the Friend-Or-Foe tags that are still embedded inside the [[Flood]] forms, which could possibly be mutated [[Marines]] They are not invincible, if you hit them with enough pistol shots, they go down. This adds to the mystery and tension of the setting, creating an atmosphere of fear in the player. |
| {{Main|Glitches}}
| | *Originally there was going to be a licensed song that was played in cutscene during the [[pelican]] ride with [[Johnson]] and the [[marines]] but it was replaced with the flip music. The licensed song was going to be Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones. [[Marty O'Donnell]] stated this on the Halo 3 Legendary Edition bonus disk. |
| *If the players play in co-op and use the [[Riding a Pelican#343 Guilty Spark|stay on Pelican]] glitch, then leave one player in the upper swamp and the other player walks along the tree trunk, then the player that is above can see the Flood up close and kill them easier. | | *On the cutscene of the [[Jenkins]] Helmet, you can see that the [[Infection Forms]] have holes in them. |
| *When the Covenant run away from the structure early in the level, there are [[MA5B assault rifle|assault rifle]] shots coming from the structure. To see this fully, use the "Stay in Pelican Trick" to get to the higher level of the swamp. Walk towards the entrance and slide down. They will see three MA5Bs floating in the air pointing at different angles firing wildly for a few seconds before disappearing.
| | *If you at any point of the first chapter reach the upper level of the swamp, you will find Pvt. [[Mendoza]] comfortably standing at attention in the middle of nowhere. |
| *If look closely at the dead Marine before John-117 lays him on the floor in the cutscene, one can see that the Marine will blink about two to four times despite the fact that he's supposed to be dead. | | *During the first chapter of the level, dead corpses will spawn in the swamp when you are at some point of the inside of the installation. If you dare, walk back outside before the Pvt. [[Jenkins]] cutscene and bodies of [[marines]] will be scattered through the lower level of the swamp. If you can make it to the upper level of the swamp (around Mendoza and such), you will find corpses of [[Covenant]] and [[human]] [[Flood]] forms. |
| *If the player pushes the Shade turret in the way of Jenkins's scripted walk path prior to entering structure beforehand, he will get stuck in the spot where the turret was placed but continue his scripted movement while the rest of the squad moves ahead of him into the structure due to the fact that the recording takes place in the exact same places that the player previously traveled. This is because the game doesn't "clear out" the room and return it to the state that it was in when Jenkins and his companions were in it. | | *If you throw a grenade when you're still on the [[Pelican]] in the beginning, you will be able to stay in it, eventually landing and you'll get to explore the outside of the map. Also, the [[Pelican]] can be moved with melees. |
| *It is possible to skip the entire Flood reveal and progress through the level directly from the first room after the first elevator. To do this when the player first enters the room they must drop down to the lower level and go left to the column with a light past the locked door. There the player must grenade jump and move back but stop moving just in time; this allows the player to end up in the floor above and if done correctly the player should land on the beam. The player must then move past a bit of geometry (there is a line in the floor) but taking care not to move too far towards the wall or else the player will fall back down. From here the player must crouch, quickly release crouch and jump forward, then time the release of forward and crouch again; done correctly the player will land on another beam. The player must then move straight towards the back wall (where the door that later allows the player to progress is). Finally near the wall the player needs to jump diagonally through the wall and possibly crouch, avoiding the glass window at the right but not going too far left. From here the level can be continued as normal as despite the door to get in being locked the door to the electric room and the door after are not. | | *In the ''[[Halo 3]]'' level, [[Floodgate (Level)|Floodgate]] there is another [[Crazed Marine]], though this one won't shoot at you. Instead he points the [[M6G Pistol|pistol]] at his head occasionally, contemplating suicide. There is also a crazed [[marine]] in [[Halo 2]] on the level [[Sacred Icon (level)|Sacred Icon]] who is hidden. |
| *It is possible to return to the room where the Paranoid Marine was after watching Jenkin's helmet recording.{{Ref/YouTube|S1fm41ouBfI&t=700s|Generalkidd|Secret Mangled Elite Bodies}} | | *There was idea for the [[Crazy Marine]] earlier in the development of this level in which he would stay alive, and when you walked a distance away from him there was going to be a bang sound. If you came back, you would find him dead on the ground. This was revealed by [[Joseph Staten]] on the [[Halo 3]] Legendary Edition bonus disk. |
| *Sometimes, if the player moves through the swamp at the end of the mission too quickly, the Marines will get stuck near the exit of the containment facility and not follow any further.
| | *When the [[Covenant]] run away from the structure early in the level, there are [[MA5B Assault Rifle|Assault Rifle]] shots coming from the structure. To see this fully use the "Stay in [[Pelican]] Trick" to get to the higher level of the swamp. Walk towards the entrance and slide down. You will see three MA5Bs pointing at different angles firing wildly for 5 seconds. In HMT (Halo Mod Tools) and HHT (Halo Hacker Tools) they appear under the scenery tag. |
| *On rare occasions, the player can encounter [[Flood Infection Form||Flood Infection Forms]] in the room where the Crazed Marine is located. They will not attack the player, but they will despawn fairly quickly.
| | *If you don't kill any of the [[Grunts]] or [[Jackals]] outside in the swamp, when you meet up with your [[Marine]] allies, one of them will have a fully charged [[Plasma Rifle]]. |
| | | *The elevator you use to get inside the structure explodes if you try to use it to escape later on. |
| ===Mistakes===
| | *There is a third elevator shaft which requires a mod to reach. There is no lift in it, just a fire where the panel to activate the lift would be. |
| *Sometimes, after the Master Chief has left dropship V933's crash site, the emergency distress call will start again prematurely, causing the message to overlap on itself.
| | *This is the last level that [[Marines]] make their appearance to assist you in both cinematic and gameplay, although there are still some surviving ones on the Installation. |
| *The door that the Flood breaks open during the helmet camera cutscene is closed before triggering that cutscene. This can be seen through a window from the room before the cutscene triggers. If the player skips the cutscene before it gets to the part where the infection forms burst out, it will still be intact.
| | *During the Jenkins Helmet Cam cutscene, Mendoza says "I've got a bad feeling about this", to which Johnson replies "You always got a bad feeling about somethin'." This is nearly identical to a Grunts' conversation during the Halo 2 campaign level The Oracle, one [[grunt]] says "Me have a bad feeling about this", another [[grunt]] replies "You always had bad feeling, you had bad feeling about this morning's food nipple!". The situations in which these conversations take place are nearly the same as well, as Flood infection forms begin to pour into the room after both conversations. |
| *The dead Marine in the recording cutscene has a boonie hat on during the cutscene, though during gameplay he doesn't. | | *The Helmet Cam cutscene in the Pelican where a [[marine]] says "Hey Sarge, why do we have to listen to this old stuff?" is likely a nod to a cutscene in StarCraft where a Terran [[Marine]] says to his superior, "Hey Sarge, why do we have to listen to this old shit?" At which point the Sergeant's response is the same. Also, the Zerg and Flood are both found at this point. |
| *The date on the timestamp of [[Private Jenkins]]' footage is May 27, 2552; months before the game actually takes place, which is September. This is due to the Private not calibrating his helmet cam.{{Ref/Site|id=BWU4/7/06|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=updateqaapril|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update 4/7/2006|Quote=When the Pillar of Autumn makes a jump, to adjust for normalized Earth time it will recalibrate equipment once position and relative position have been established. However, since the Autumn made a blind jump and straight into combat, no battle or field equipment was recalibrated. For that same reason, "north" on an assault rifle's built-in compass simply defaulted (per instructions from Keyes) to the largest visible source of gravity and magnetism - Threshold. The Earth-normal date was in fact September, in spite of what local equipment displayed. If poor old Jenkins had survived, his equipment would have been reset on the next (deliberate) jump.|D=07|M=02|Y=2021}}
| | *During the Pvt. [[Jenkins]] cutscene, when the pelican dropship lands you will see a crashed pelican in the background. |
| *In Jenkins' helmet cam, the Marines exit the Pelican from at least 10 feet off the ground. | | *There is a hidden [[Invisibility]] in this level. After you kill the Jackals on the tree trunk that goes to the next part of the level, get onto the tree trunk. Once in the middle you must stop. Turn right. Jump down. There is a pipe leading up to a small ledge that is too high to jump. There is a ramp. Go up it. Go as far back as you can on the ledge, and inside a bush there is an [[Active Camouflage]] power-up. |
| *The spoofer, which the Master Chief uses to open the door, only appears in the cutscene and not during actual gameplay.
| | *At some point in the Level, after the 'The Helmet Cam cutscene', in an open area (like the ones with Energy Bridges) you will find a few Marines. There are also [[Flood]] combat and [[Infection Forms]] in this room, if any attack the [[Marines]], they will die. |
| *Sometimes, Sergeant Johnson will be in the surviving second squad, even though he escaped the structure by himself.{{Ref/Comic|HGN|Story=Breaking Quarantine}}
| | *If you look closely at the dead Marine before [[Master Chief]] lays him on the floor in the cutscene, you can see that the [[Marine]] will blink about 2 to 4 times despite the fact that he's dead. |
| *During the ending cutscene, the Monitor can be seen flying around the tower as well as talking to the Chief. Similar to the previous error, this is because the Monitor is in the level before the cutscene, but isn't removed when the cutscene starts.
| | *If you skip the Jenkin's cam cutscene, the door the [[Infection Forms]] break out of in the cut scene is closed, not broken. |
| *A flashing red light can be seen attached to one of the trees surrounding the tower where the mission ends at. It is identical to the same red lights on the tower itself. This appears to be a placement mistake.
| | *This is the only level in the entire Halo trilogy where you can see and use [[Needler]] ammo clips. |
| | | *The Room where you first fight the [[Flood]] can be visible before entering if you stay on the upper level. |
| ===Easter eggs===
| | *The date on the timestamp of Jenkins' footage is May 27, 2552, months before the game takes place. |
| {{Main|Easter eggs}}
| | *The infection forms you see in Jenkins' cam are special. With HMT ( Halo Mapping Tools ) there are two type of infection forms, flood/infection_form and flood/infection_form/nopop. The nopop infect form is most likely the ones in the video. |
| *There is a hidden [[Active Camouflage]] in this level. After killing the Kig-yar on the tree trunk that goes to the next part of the level, get onto the tree trunk. Once in the middle, stop and turn right. Jump down. There is a pipe leading up to a small ledge that is too high to jump to. There is a ramp. Go up it. Go as far back as one can on the ledge, and inside a bush there is an Active Camouflage power-up. | | *The Assault Rifle used when the Covenant flee from the structure has a special projectile. If this projectile is changed, the rifles do not appear. |
| *Private Jenkins' chip says "Do Not Eat". However it is only visible if the map is opened with HMT and look at the Bitmaps tab. | | *An interesting animation issue, the marines cannot crouch when wielding a Plasma Rifle. |
| *Sangheili Combat Forms can occasionally be seen up in the cliffs, and on top of fallen tree trunks during the initial outdoor part of the level. They cannot be killed, but body parts can be shot off, and they show as friendly on the radar.
| | {{levels}} |
| *This level makes several references to the movie ''Aliens'', such as the banter between the marines witnessed by observing Jenkin's recording. | |
| *Inside the structure, in the room with the Shade turrets, throw a plasma grenade under one of the turrets. If you get it just right it will blast up to the higher level of the room. After you've gotten past the Crazed Marine and you're on the higher level, melee the turret over to the door that you just came out of and get the back leg in the door. Proceed with the level. When you come back, the door you meleed the Shade turret into will be partially opened. Give the Shade one more melee and it will start shaking. Get into the turret and turn it so that the right is facing the door, then exit it and you will be in a hallway (this might take a few tries). Go through the hallway to enter the room that contains the unique dead Sangheili model. (Warning: there are Flood Combat Forms in here).
| |
| * The [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary skulls#Recession skull|Recession skull]] is located to the left of the facility in a little drop behind a shade turret. When the player crosses the fallen tree, they'll see a shade turret blow up and assault rifle fire coming from the structure. Instead of going inside, immediately go to the left and keep against the back wall. You will come to a turret with a small drop behind it. Slide down the drop carefully; the skull is at the bottom. | |
| * The [[Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#The Terminals|sixth Terminal]] is found while riding the third elevator that leads out of the underground facility. The terminal is above the doorway leading into the elevator room. It can be reached by activating the elevator, then timing it correctly and jumping off onto the platform below (there is only one possible attempt due to the lack of elevator controls on the top floor). | |
| | |
| ===References===
| |
| *In the ''[[Halo 3]]'' level, [[Floodgate]], there is [[Suicidal Marine|another]] [[Crazed Marine]], though this one won't shoot at the player. Instead, he points the [[M6G magnum|pistol]] at his head occasionally, contemplating suicide.
| |
| *The line "I have a bad feeling about this" is another homage to ''Aliens'' or ''Star Wars''.
| |
| *The swamps are covered by some kind of glowing plants. Similar plants may be seen in ''[[High Charity]]'' in ''[[Halo 2]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===Miscellaneous===
| |
| [[File:MarinePicture.jpg|thumb|150px|Mendoza standing in the upper area of the swamp.]]
| |
| *Mendoza can be found as a [[Hidden Marine]] in the upper area of the swamp if the player prevents the scripted exit from the Pelican by continuously throwing grenades out of the Pelican.
| |
| *This is one of three levels in the entire Halo trilogy where Needler ammunition magazines can be seen and used, the others being the ''Halo 2'' [[multiplayer]] map ''[[Uplift]]'', and the level ''[[Quarantine Zone]]''.
| |
| *At the start of the level, the [[Flood]] that run into the mist at the big tree and the hill will appear as yellow blips, indicating that they are allies. This may be an error by the motion sensor, as later on in the game, they become enemies. Another possible explanation is that the Friend-Or-Foe tags that are still embedded inside the [[Flood]] forms, which could possibly be mutated [[Marines]], however on closer inspection, all of the [[Flood]] forms encountered are [[Elite]] [[Combat Forms]]. This adds to the mystery and tension of the setting, creating an atmosphere of fear in the player, as well as a foreshadowing of things to come. Of course, it could also have been made that way so they would not attack the player.
| |
| *During the first chapter of the level, corpses will spawn in the swamp when the player is at some point of the inside of the installation. Walk back outside before the Private Jenkins helmet cam cutscene and bodies of Marines will be scattered through the lower level of the swamp. If one can make it to the upper level of the swamp (around Mendoza and such), one will find corpses of Covenant and Human Flood Combat Forms.
| |
| *If players examine the floor to the right of the unlocked containment door, the player can find the neural chip that the Master Chief tossed aside after the "last recording" cutscene. However, it will disappear as if it was a particle over a short period of time.
| |
| *If the player doesn't enter the installation in this level and choose to linger in the swamps, they can hear in the background Flood gurgles and howls.
| |
| *This level is one of the few rare campaign levels with red team and blue team [[List of Forerunner Symbols|symbols]]. They can be found near the first Flood encounter area and at any similar areas in the level.
| |
| *If the player returns to the elevator they entered the structure after meeting the Flood, looking up to where the elevator is, the player can clearly observe that it is on fire and damaged. Activating it will result in debris of it falling down to the shaft, and the Halo soundtrack [[Lament for Pvt. Jenkins]] will play again.
| |
| **If the player is using Acrophobia Skull, the player can get out of the facility only to find corpses almost everywhere, mainly Grunts. Upon reaching the Landing Zone, the player can find a Pelican is holding position at where the Pelican carrying Sergeant Johnson stops before fast-forwarding. The player can board it as a passenger, but the Pelican won't move.
| |
| *It is possible to save the marines at the facility's bottom level from being killed. However, they will not follow the player any further. Instead, they will run in circles, occasionally dropping to one knee for a moment, and repeat the phrases: "I'm not sticking around to get killed.", "I'm gone, man!", "I'm out of here!", "You can't stop them!", "Forget this!", "Later, dude." and "This is suicide, man!" These lines are said by the Crewmen on {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. On a rare occasion, the surviving Marines will follow the player into the next room, but immediately retreat following a brief moment.
| |
| *This is the final level of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' in which Marines are seen alive (with the exception of the non-canon Legendary ending on [[The Maw]] featuring [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]]).
| |
| *The swamp area in the end of the level was later re-used for the multiplayer map ''[[Backwash]]'' in ''Halo 2''.
| |
| *Playing the level with the [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary skulls#Grunt Funeral skull|Grunt Funeral Skull]] active in ''Halo Anniversary'' causes the Grunt corpses to detonate immediately after they spawn. This results in the player hearing explosions as they proceed further into the complex.
| |
| *This, and the subsequent level ''[[The Library]]'', are the only levels where the player will not encounter any Covenant Elites.
