The Covenant are deployed in greater numbers and in a more superior force than previously seen in the game, using [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]], [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghosts]] and [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]]. The majority of the level is set in a snowy, outdoor environment. Although the level seems to be natural, there are networks of tunnels and [[elevator]]s built by the [[Forerunner]] that connect sections of the constructs into the Control Room. | ||
The level is known for its variety and well roundness. It allows the player to use every weapon and vehicle in the game (except the [[M90 | The level is known for its variety and well roundness. It allows the player to use every weapon and vehicle in the game (except the [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|Shotgun]]), and is the only level in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' that allows the Master Chief to use a [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion]] tank. Although the level is famous for its snowy outdoor battles and large bridges, there are also a variety of indoor skirmishes, including standoffs with [[Sangheili Zealot]]s. There is a mix of vehicle, long-range, and close quarters combat. The player is assisted by a handful of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] after their [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] crashes, but the level is mostly a solitary experience. | ||

She is horrified to learn that [[Installation 04|Halo]] houses the [[The Flood|Flood]], and the weapons cache that [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]] is looking for will lead him straight to the parasite. Cortana elects to stay behind, while the Chief rushes off to find the Captain. | ||
