| ==Plot==
| |
| The level begins with the [[John-117|Master Chief]], the [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], and [[Sergeant Major|Sergeant]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]] landing in an underground UNSC base. When they disembark, several Marines are amazed to see a [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan II]]. As they walk through hallways littered with wounded [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] soldiers, [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes|Keyes]] informs the Chief and Johnson that [[Prophet of Truth|Truth]] has almost destroyed the [[UNSC Home Fleet]], and only a few ships are left. They soon reach the command center and speak with [[Terrence Hood|Lord Hood]], discussing a plan for an all out attack on Truth's army.
| |
|
| |
|
| Unfortunately, the Covenant then jam the [[Human]] communications network along with the rest of the base, shutting off the power. Truth appears on the main view screen, telling the Humans that their world will [[Glassing|burn]]. The base is then attacked by a large contingent of [[Covenant Empire|Covenant troops]]. The Master Chief first clears the south hangar, allowing the UNSC personnel to evacuate. Unable to fight off the invaders, Keyes orders a [[Improvised UNSC bomb|bomb]] placed in the operations center. Meanwhile, Jiralhanae capture the barracks and take many Marines prisoner. The Chief and the Arbiter retake the barracks and rescue as many Marines as they can. They then bring the survivors up to the landing pad where Keyes is waiting with a Pelican. After fighting off another group of Jiralhanae, they meet up with Johnson who informs them that Jiralhanae have seized the Ops Center and disarmed the bomb. Keyes orders the Chief to retake the Ops Centers while the others evacuate. The Chief clears out the Covenant inside the Ops Center and rearms the bomb. He then makes his way back to the south hangar, where he finds a service elevator. Moments later, the bomb detonates, sending the elevator into free fall and causing the Chief to black out.

| | ==Background== |
| | The level begins with the Chief and [[Johnson]] escaping from the African jungle and landing in an underground UNSC base. As they disembark, several Marines are amazed to see a [[Spartan]]. [[Miranda Keyes|Commander Keyes]] then informs The Chief and Johnson of the current situation (that Truth has destroyed the UNSC Fleet, and only a few ships are left), all the while walking through hallways littered with wounded [[UNSC]] soldiers. They soon reach the Command Center and speak with [[Lord Hood]], discussing a plan for an all out attack on [[Truth]]'s army. However, the Covenant then jam the [[Human]]s communications network along with the rest of the base, shutting off the power. Truth then appears on the main viewscreen, threatening the Humans and telling them their world will [[Glassing|burn]]. |
| | |
| | The Covenant then attack and the base "comes under heavy fire" from the [[Covenant Loyalists]]. Unable to sufficiently fight off the invaders, [[Miranda Keyes]] has a bomb placed in the operations center. Despite an attempt by the Covenant to disable the bomb, it goes off successfully, and all remaining troops, including the [[Master Chief]] escape into the base's garage where they survive the explosion. |

| | == Walkthrough == |
|
| |
|
| ''If the player takes their time:'' | | As the level starts off, listen to the dialogue, then move down to the weapon lockers for some ammo. Grab a Battle Rifle and two SMGs. After a marine opens the door, go all the way to the top, where you'll meet two marines telling you about a hangar. Go to the panel and open this door. From here, find your way and be sure to open the doors you encounter (only those doors with a green light can be opened). Soon, you'll approach a big area with a warthog. Draw out your BR and begin sniping out the grunts and jackals, hiding if necessary.when you come to the next door, a brute and several grunts will come out. Kill the brute first, then kill the remaining grunts. Now, do NOT eagerly go through the door yet! Several jackals are at the end of the hallway sniping with their carbines. Using your battle rifle, snipe each one out, then kill the grunts. Once the area is clear, proceed. You'll arrive at a hangar, where there are grunts and jackals on the deck. Kill every one of them. By this time, a phantom would have arrived. Pick up a deployable cover that can be found on the deck, then go to one of the Machinegun Turrets.Place the cover at the side of your turret, so that if any enemy gets on the deck, they can't shoot you. Okay, now use the turret to shoot everyone on the hangar bay. DON'T detach the turret yet until the pelican comes out (Just come out of the turret and use your weapons to shoot those enemies that managed to get on the deck). That is, after you have cleared several troops deployed by the phantoms. Now, having cleared the hangar, detach the turret and get back to the ops center exactly the same way you got to the hangar. Beware, on your way there, you'll encounter lots of drones in the cave. Remain in the bunker and use your turret to kill the drones, and hide whenever your shield is down. After clearing the area, proceed on to the ops center. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Sergeant Johnson (COM)''': "Bomb's about to blow! Go, go, go!"
| | From the ops center, go to the other door where you can find a green light and a marine standing next to the door. Open the door, and proceed to the barracks. Here, use the shield as cover and shoot through the hole. Kill the brutes one by one. Soon, the chieftain will go in to kill you. Dodge his attacks and don't shoot if he activates his Invincibility. Try to lure him to a corner, then throw a spike grenade, and that should finish him. If any brutes are still there kill them. Take the chieftains hammer with you and proceed to the next area. |
|
| |
|
| ''If the player continues to linger around:'' | | Here, you'll encounter the Arbiter, and he will help you through the cave and the next area (the second barracks). The Gravity Hammer works very well here. Snipe out some of the brutes first, then use your gravity hammer to kill the rest. Kill the others before facing the gold chieftain. Rush toward him, and blast him directly with your hammer. That should kill him.After clearing this area, you will go to a cave with an elevator. Get into it and activate the controls. You'll soon come to a landing pad, with lots of Jumppack Brutes. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Sergeant Johnson (COM)''': "Get on the elevator, Chief! You're out of time!"
| | After killing all of them, proceed down the stairs to an area will you will encounter drones. You can ignore them or fight them if you want. |
|
| |
|
| ''The Master Chief makes it to the service elevator, and activates it. The door doesn't fully shut. Something explodes and flames flicker through the gap.'' | | At the next area, you will encounter lots of gunner grunts with their plasma cannons. Be sure to hide frequently here, as your shield will go down frequently too. Feel free to use your own tactic here, but I suggest detaching the turrets. If one turret runs out of ammo, you can aways detach another. After you've cleared this area, you'll come to another area with loads of grunts and two jackal snipers up on the upper level, carrying beam rifles. Take them out first, as they are the most dangerous. It takes practise, but after you've killed them, kill the remaining grunts. From here, open the last door, and you're back again at the ops center. Arm the bomb, and proceed to the hangar the same way as when you first went to the hangar. Most covenant are now disoriented, and you can feel free to ignore them. After arriving to the hangar, you'll notice that at the right side of the hangar, a hangar door has opened. Get through it, dash to the elevator, and activate it. The bomb explodes and you've finished Halo 3's second level. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Cortana (Cortana Moment)''': "This place will become your home."
| | ==Trivia== |
|
| |
|
| ''The elevator descends. The Master Chief hears a massive boom. He looks up and sees the flames roar through the open door. The violent shaking disconnects the elevator and sends it plummeting down. It crashes and the Chief blacks out.''
| | *There is a argument between two marines voiced by various [[Red vs Blue]] actors, which changes depending on difficulty level. See [[Password-Lacking Marine]]. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Cortana (Cortana Moment)''': "This place will become your tomb." | | *It is seen in the Halo 3 ViDoc ''[[ViDoc: Et Tu Brute|Et Tu Brute]]'' around the 5 minute mark. |
|
| |
|
| ''The screen goes black.''
| | *The words spoken by the [[Prophet of Truth]] in the E3 2007 trailer of [[Halo 3]] are heard in the cut-scene when the [[Covenant]] get on the [[Human]] communications network. |
|
| |
|
| ''Level ends.''
| | *Also, when Truth says: "...your destruction is the will of the gods. And I? I AM their instrument!" is the same line a Major Elite says in [[The Fall of Reach]] and [[Halo E3 2000 Trailer]] |
|
| |
|
| | *On the boxes in the part of the room farthest from the monitors is the number 2401, the number of Installation 5's [[2401 Penitent Tangent|Monitor]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Achievements==
| | *There is a latrine with old rusty toilets that is a good place for taking snapshots... although you might have to ask for a "courtesy flush" |
| The following [[achievement]]s can be unlocked on this mission on the [[Xbox 360]] edition of ''Halo 3''.

| ==Trivia==
| | *The "Seven Pillars" icon appears in the opening cinematic. Immediately after Commander Keyes says "Give the order, we're closing shop," the screen cuts to a bearded marine who says "Ma'am?" The screen in back of him shows a map of the base, with the Seven Pillars icon appearing in the middle of the lower-right quadrant. [[Image:Seven_Pillars.png|right|thumb|250px|The "Seven Pillars" icon on the computer readout.]] |
| ===Glitches===
| |
| {{Main|Glitches}}
| |
| *On this level, it is possible to find Gunnery Sergeant Stacker or Reynolds in three different places in a short amount of time, although they did not accompany the player throughout the base. They can be found holding position after killing the swarm of Drones outside the Ops Center, then operating the bomb, then being held prisoner in the barracks. | |
| *The [[Arbiter eye glitch|Arbiter Eye Glitch]] occurs at the beginning of this level.
| |
| *Occasionally, [[List of animals|rats]] can be seen scurrying across the floor in some parts of the level. They appear on the player's [[Motion tracker]] as small yellow dots — friendlies. Players can kill them and even melee their dead bodies around. If the player turns against the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], the rats will be shown as red dots on the Motion tracker.
| |
| *Players can get into the hangar where the Pelican picks up the remaining marines and takes off.
| |
| *If one opens the door to the Motor Pool and doesn't go through, the door to Ops Center will remain open. The player can then lure the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]], and eventually the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]], into the Ops Center by attacking them from afar using the [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]]. However, the Chieftain will not attack the Marines, and vice-versa. The player can even lure the Chieftain downstairs, though he will not chase the player into the large cave area.
| |
| *There is a [[Infinite weapons on Crow's Nest|glitch]] that allows the player to get infinite weapons for the battle inside the Motor Pool.
| |
| *There is a female Marine in the barracks that has white sleeves under her armor and a backpack, if ones shoots or melees her helmet, it will fly off, but she will still have it on and cannot be taken off.
| |
| *By dropping a [[Deployable Cover]] in the small stairway that [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]] and his Marines use to get to the landing pad, players can block off the stairway and Johnson and his Marines will cease to move, stopping [[Miranda Keyes]]'s [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican]] from taking off.
| |
| *The [["Friendly" Brutes]] [[Glitches|Glitch]] can be performed on this level.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Mistakes===
| | *The computers in the Ops Center occasionally beep the Halo theme. |
| *If you are playing Co-op on this level, the Arbiter has a melee animation even when he is unarmed. He will melee like a normal [[Sangheili|Elite]]. The melee attack does no damage. It is possible to disarm the AI Arbiter in single player by giving him a support weapon and getting him to ride in a vehicle or killing him and taking his weapon for an empty weapon. However, the AI controlled Arbiter's melee does damage. The same glitch can be performed if you use a glitch to allow an Elite character model to be unarmed in [[forge]]. Also, the Arbiter has a special grenade throw animation similar to the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' Elites and ''Halo 3'' level ''[[Floodgate]]'' Elites when he is unarmed. The grenade throw can be performed in multiplayer and Co-op if you are playing as an Elite character model. You don't necessarily have to be unarmed. You will need two weapons and grenades. Press the Y button to switch to your secondary weapon and quickly press the LT. If you did it correctly, you should have thrown a grenade like ''Floodgate'' Elites. | |
| *When playing as the Arbiter, [[N’tho ‘Sraom]], or [[Usze ‘Taham]], if you press the '''Y''' when you're unarmed at the beginning of the level, your player model will shuffle its feet. This can be seen only by the person who does it.
| |
| *Many of the Marines are the same models with different voices in the opening cutscene, such as one of the injured men and a technician that speaks with the Commander. This is most likely for Bungie to save resources and not create multiple models for Marines.
| |
| *After saving the Marines in the Barracks, [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes|Keyes]] will pilot a Pelican to evacuate them, if one looks closely, she is holding the controls of the Pelican like the controls of a [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]].
| |
| *Sergeant Johnson drops a cigar and steps on it when the player(s) first see the bomb. Upon closer examination, however, one can see that the cigar is still lit. In fact, it is completely unaffected by being stepped on.
| |
| *If one manages to save every possible Marine being held captive in Barrack B, the evacuation Pelican will run out of seats leaving [[Thel 'Vadam]] with no other option but to sit in a seat already occupied by a Marine.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Easter eggs===
| | *Occasionally, you will see rats scurrying across the floor in some parts of the level. They appear on your motion tracker as small yellow dots. You can kill them and melee their dead bodies around. |
| {{Main|Easter eggs}}
| |
| *The [[Halo 3 skulls#Black Eye|Black Eye Skull]] can be found in the beginning of the level. Claiming it would reward the player the "[[Black Eye (achievement)|Black Eye]]" [[achievement]] and 10 [[Gamerscore]]. | |
| *There is an argument between two Marines voiced by various [[Red vs Blue]] voice actors, which changes depending on difficulty level. See [[Password-lacking Marine]].
| |
| *In Theater mode, when Miranda Keyes tells Master Chief about their farewell party to the Brutes, go upstairs next to the computer. It will say MAC and WAC and start playing the Halo theme song with beep sounds.
| |
| *The ''Halo 3'' silver skull [[Halo 3 skulls#Grunt Birthday Party|Grunt Birthday Party Skull]] can be found on this level.
| |
| *If one looks at the picture on the wrinkled newspaper laying between the generator and tarp covered crates at the beginning of Barrack B, it can be noted that the picture faintly displays the picture of a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V]] alongside a [[Unggoy|Grunt]] from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===References===
| | *In the hanger, right before you enter the escape elevator, there are three final grunts. They will ignore the player unless the are fired on. You can attempt to push them back into the hanger, or into the elevator, but if there is a distant explosion they'll panic, run around and usually end up back where the player first found them. It is possible to push them into the elevator and activate it, but they will not be with you at the beginning of the next level. It is unknown as to what purpose these last three grunts serve. Last minute cannon fodder, or is there some sort of easter egg here that has been missed so far? |

| |
| *The Prophet of Truth's line, ''"...your destruction is the will of the gods. And I... I am their instrument!"'' is a rephrasing of the message sent to [[Battle Group 4]] during the [[First Battle of Harvest]]. Likewise, the line, ''"Your world will burn until its surface is but glass"'' is a restatement of a message sent to the surface of [[Biko]] in [[2526]].<ref>[[Data pads|Data pad 10]]</ref>
| |
| *The "Seventh Column" icon appears in the opening cinematic. Immediately after Commander Keyes says "Give the order, we're closing shop," the screen cuts to a bearded marine who says "Ma'am?" The screen behind him reveals a map of the base, with the Seven Pillars icon appearing in the middle of the lower-right quadrant.
| |
| *The men manning the computers at the beginning of the level are Naval personnel, which (aside from Crow's Nest) are only seen in-game in the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' [[campaign]] levels ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]'' and ''[[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo]]''.
| |
| *The third section of this level (Last One Out, Get The Lights) could be a reference to the episode name of Season One finale of Red vs Blue (Last One Out, Hit The Lights).
| |
| *When the Drones attack, Sgt. Stacker/Reynolds will say "Take 'em down - short, controlled bursts!" This may be a reference to ''Aliens'', as the ''Halo ''series has had many [[list of references to Aliens in Halo|''Aliens'' references]], and possibly because the Drones and the Xenomorphs share more similarities more than any Covenant species.
| |
| [[File:Screens crowsnest schematic.jpg|thumb|250px|The "Seventh Column" icons that appear on the computer readout.]]
| |
| *The [[Character interludes|Cortana Moments]] in this level are direct quotes from ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''. All of them are from [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Halsey]] as she speaks with the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-IIs]] about the project they are taking part in.
| |
| *On the boxes in the part of the room farthest from the monitors is the number 2401, the number of [[Installation 05]]'s [[2401 Penitent Tangent|Monitor]], and a factor of [[Seven|7]]. Similarly, in the first hangar, there is a generator under the floor marked with the [[EMG|EMG 2401]] logo, likely in reference to said Monitor.
| |
| *There are a total of seven Marines players can save in the Barracks.
| |
| *On some of the screens at the Ops-Center there is a blue screen titled WAC which the screen is a reference to Microsoft's infamous Blue Screen of Death.
| |
| *At the end of the level, a large explosion manages to shoot out of the opening in the elevator's blast doors before it completely closes. This could be a reference to near the ending of ''[[The Maw]]'' from ''Combat Evolved'' in which a near identical occurrence takes place when John enters the service elevator in order to flee from the destruction of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Miscellaneous===
| | *It is possible to find two [[Cloaking]] equipment before you are supposed to find them on [[The Ark (Level)| The Ark]]. After rescuing any Marines from the Barracks, get in the service elavator, fight off all of the Jump Pack Brutes, then, as Sergeant Johnson is fighting off the Drones, run up the staircase to the right of the Pelican. Follow the path and you'll come upon a building with a melted wall. Go inside either of the two entrances and on the floor there are two Cloaking equipment. These are extremely useful when you return to the Ops Center, if you want to make an unoticed entrance. |
| *The Banshees and Hornets outside the hangar aren't real, but part of the backdrop. They lack a physical presence, as one can move through them in Theater mode, they have scripted deaths, and they use very low-resolution textures applied to them. They are unaffected by the player's actions. | |
| *If one takes the camera in Theater mode outside the hangar, the [[Portal Storm]] can be seen forming.
| |
| *In the [[ViDoc]] "[[Halo 3 ViDoc: Et Tu, Brute?|Et Tu, Brute?]]", instead of fighting the [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|Gravity Hammer]]-wielding Chieftain in the Motor Pool, the [[Pek-pattern plasma cannon|Plasma Cannon]]-wielding [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|War Chieftain]] can be seen in combat in the Motor Pool and vice versa
| |
| *After facing the Jump-pack Brutes, if one follows the hallway up to where they break out of, equipment and ammo can be found. One of them is Cloaking, which will be effective during the fight with War Chieftain on higher difficulties.
| |
| *The [[multiplayer]] level ''[[Rat's Nest]]'' draws many visual inspirations from the design of ''Crow's Nest''.
| |
| *This is the only ''Halo 3'' level where the player doesn't have a starting loadout weapon. Once gameplay begins, the player must pick their own loadout on a weapons rack, allowing for a Magnum Pistol, Assault Rifle, SMG or Battle Rifle.
| |
| *In spite of what Johnson says, it is possible to just use the active camouflage to sneak in the area and arm the bomb without having to kill the surrounding Covenant.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Gallery==
| | *In the same room you find the cloaking equipment, there are two Battle Rifles, a Regenerator, two frag grenades and a Grav Lift. |
