This is a walkthrough for [[Arcadia City]]. It is written for play at the [[Legendary]] difficulty.  


For this mission you take on the role of [[John Forge|Sergeant Forge]] and his squad to evacuate the civilians of [[Arcadia]] from three Cargo Ships. Your starting resources are Four [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornets]]. Note that in this mission you are on the defensive but sometimes the polices will call for 'military help'. To earn [[The Real Winner]] achievement, save the civilian child named [[Adam Andrews|Adam]].

You start off landing in Arcadia's Downtown area. The Arcadian Patrols will ask for support to clear out the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] guards trying to kill the civilians. Immediately have your units take out the nearby Covenant patrols before they can kill all of the civilians. Once you are clear of all enemies, the patrols will thank you. Then, a patrol will ask to your assistance for a Wraith problem. Then,you will notice the ship Cargo 3 attempt to evacuate, but in a scripted event it is destroyed by Covenant [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]].

You will then have the opportunity to construct a base in a nearby area. Immediately take the opportunity to build one and construct a few [[UNSC Supply Pad|supply pads]], a [[UNSC Barracks|barracks]], a [[UNSC Vehicle Depot|Vehicle Depot]] and an [[UNSC airpad|airpad]], and train a good amount of units, but also keep in mind that ships Cargo 1 and 2 are still being loaded and attacked by the Covenant. Have a few marines to take out Jackals and Elites around the base and take their lookout towers.

==General strategies==
*The third cargo carrier is scripted to be destroyed. Protect the other two transports whatever happens.
*On higher difficulties, a Covenant Mega-Turret will be established near the end of the countdown. Pay attention to Serina; she will warn you when this happens. The chances of this occurring are higher on Heroic and Legendary but it may also come online during a Normal run-through.
*A large, heavily fortified Covenant base is near the second base building area. Keep in mind destroying it is at the player's discretion and only an option but it will pose a danger later on in the mission.
*Fortify Marines in the watchtowers to snipe enemies who pursue the civilians running for the transports.
*Banshees are common and their bombs will damage the cargo ships significantly. Destroy them as soon as possible.
*If possible, upgrade to ODSTs as soon as possible. This will provide quick response.
*When the mission begins, order the Hornets to the transports for they are swift and lethal.


*Its possible on lower difficulties to win the level without spawning additional units. Sending your existing units to protect Cargo 1 works well as it comes under the heaviest attack and Cargo 2 usually appears to do okay without additional support, albeit while taking on less passengers. Playing this way you can also focus on saving just the civilians approaching Cargo 1 which usually allows you to save around 200 civilians with that particular ship.
