| '''Arrival''' is the first [[campaign]] level of ''[[Halo 3]]''. It does not contain actual gameplay, consisting instead of a look inversion test on lower difficulties, and the game's opening cutscenes.
| |
|
| |
|
| In [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]], the only point in playing this level is because players cannot get the Campaign Complete for the Heroic and Legendary Achievements without doing so.
| | '''Arrival''' <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAASM944nTo</ref> is the tutorial level of Halo 3. It contains no actual gameplay, consisting instead of a tutorial (on lower difficulties) and the game's opening cutscene. |
|
| |
|
| ==Summary== | | ==Plot== |
| The Master Chief crashes in an African jungle near [[Mount Kilimanjaro]] and is eventually recovered by [[Thel 'Vadam]] (the [[Arbiter]]), [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Major Avery Johnson]], and several [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]]. After a brief confrontation with 'Vadam, the Chief arms himself and prepares to move out. | | The Master Chief crashes in the jungles and is subsequently recovered by Johnson, the Arbiter and several marines. This level consists of no gameplay''(save on Easy and Normal, see above)'', only a cinematic cutscene. |

| ==Production Notes==
| |
| Early paper sketch design documents suggests the first section of the mission [[Sierra 117]] would function as a separate, small tutorial mission with the working title of "Kilimanjaro Jungle". After a short engagement with some Grunts, the player would then enter a Warthog that would transition to the full gameplay mission with the working title of "River". While this "training course" mission was dropped, the idea evidently evolved into what is in the final game, with the intro cutscene and look inversion tutorial being in this separate mission.{{Ref/Site

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| ===Glitches===
| | *Arrival is the name of the first level in [[Marathon]], an earlier Bungie game. |
| {{Main|Glitches}}
| | *Arrival is quite bluntly the easiest level in Halo 3 on any difficulty, since it requires either cinematics and look settings or simply all cinematics. |
| *As soon as one can move, go forward and press the '''Y''' button about one second before the border fades out. The M6G pistol will just randomly appear on the screen. | | *It's odd that Sgt. Johnson places his hand on the '''Right''' side of [[John-117|Cheif]]'s chest, when the human heart is on the '''Left''' side of the chest. He possibly could have had his heart moved, due to his extensive augmentations and cybernetic implants. |
| *Sometimes on Heroic or Legendary, the words, "Your armor is still in partial lockdown," appear during the loading screen of Sierra 117.
| | {{Ref}} |
| | |
| ===References===
| |
| *The name may be a reference to Halo's predecessor, ''[[Marathon]]'', an earlier [[Bungie]] game, in which "Arrival" is also the name of the [[marathongame:Arrival (Level)|first level]].
| |
| *The ''[[Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack]]'' [[Bits and Pieces]] is a reference to a quote by Johnson during this level: "''And I don't do bits and pieces!''"
| |
| | |
| ===Miscellaneous===
| |
| *Arrival is the first tutorial level in the [[Halo universe|Halo Trilogy]] not to take place on a [[human]] space vessel orbiting a celestial body. ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'s'' very first level was on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} orbiting the [[Installation 04|Halo]] mega-structure and ''[[Halo 2]]'s'' first level was set on the UNSC [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] defense platform [[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo]] in a geosynchronous orbit around [[Earth]]. | |
| *At the data pad the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] carries, one can see an X-Ray of Master Chief's helmet revealing his skull. To the left of the Master Chief's skull, there is a photo of what could be the Master Chief's face. However, the picture could be the Corpsman's for object identification purposes. | |
| *Contrary to what players might think, the Master Chief did ''not'' land on Earth using just his [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR]] armor as protection. At the other end of the crater is a metallic object, suggesting the Chief ripped it out of the Forerunner Dreadnought and rode it down to [[Earth]]. A page in ''[[The Art of Halo 3]]'' supports this theory. Also, the metallic object appears to be a Forerunner door of some sort due to the support bracing on one side, as many Forerunner doors do seen in ''Halo 2''. And in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' it shows the Master Chief using a piece of metal for protection as he enters the atmosphere.
| |
| *The Master Chief appears for the first time in ''Halo 3'' at precisely 1 minute and 17 seconds into the cutscene, when the camera descends to reveal his outstretched arm. This is both a reference to his number (117) and to [[seven]] because it is 77 seconds in.
| |
| *It should be noted that in ''Arrival'', re-entry occurs before sunrise, and in the Landfall miniseries, re-entry occurs after sunrise (though they ''are'' in different places). The Landfall miniseries takes place in Pakistan, accounting for the time difference.
| |
| *When the corpsman is inspecting John-117, Johnson addresses the corpsman as corporal. This is possibly an error as corpsman are Navy units, and the rank of corporal is Army/Marines. It is known that both Marine and Navy ranks are included in the game as John-117 is a Master Chief Petty Officer, and several other characters from the game also have Navy ranks (such as those about any UNSC ships like Lt. Commander Miranda Keyes.)
