'''Exodus''' is the seventh level in the [[campaign]] of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.


==Summary==
==Summary==
The level opens with [[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]], having fallen from orbit in the conclusion of the previous level, waking up on a mountain range and beginning their journey to link up with UNSC forces. On August 23, 2552, after wandering through the wilderness, Six arrives at [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]], [[Eposz]], which is under siege by four [[Ceudar-pattern heavy corvette|Covenant corvette]]s. Noble Six then finds their way through the city and links up with [[UNSC Army|Army]] forces to assist in the evacuation of [[Traxus Tower]], while fighting [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] for the first time during the invasion. However, they arrive too late, as one of the corvettes has already moved into position on top of the tower.
The level opens with [[Noble Six]], having fallen from orbit in the conclusion of the previous level, waking up in a mountain range and beginning his/her journey to link up with UNSC forces. On August 23, 2552, after wandering through the wilderness, Six arrives at [[New Alexandria]], [[Eposz]], which is under siege by four [[Covenant corvette]]s. Noble Six then finds his/her way through the city and links up with [[UNSC Army|Army]] forces to assist in the evacuation of [[Traxus Tower]], while fighting [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] for the first time in the game. However, they arrive too late, as one of the corvettes has already moved into position on top of the tower.


Noble Six then acquires a [[Series 8 jetpack|jetpack]] and joins a group of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] specialists known as the [[Bullfrogs]], enacting an emergency plan to capture an executive landing pad. Six then proceeds to Traxus Tower, where they, several Army troopers and the ODSTs take the landing pad, allowing a group of civilians to evacuate in a Pelican.

Noble Six then rides in a [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcon]] to provide air cover for evacuation crafts leaving the city. They take an alternate route to avoid the Covenant forces clustered in the middle of the city. After [[6 Echo 2|an evacuation transport]] is shot down by a corvette, Noble Six assists Army forces in clearing the way to [[M95 Lance|missile batteries]] further in the city. The missile batteries disable the corvette's weaponry, allowing the remaining transports to slip past and escape into orbit.

[[Catherine-B320|Kat]] contacts Noble Six, and instructs the Lieutenant to rejoin the rest of Noble Team. During the exchange, Noble Six alerts the team to Jorge's sacrifice during [[Operation: UPPER CUT]].

''Noble Six is alone on a snowy mountain range, holding their injured left arm. They slowly limp back to the discarded [[M-Spec reentry pack|Reentry Unit]] to acquire a [[M6G magnum|pistol]]. The Spartan cocks the pistol and turns around to look up at the remains of the [[Long Night of Solace|Covenant Supercarrier]] that [[Jorge-052]] had destroyed, now lying shattered on a nearby mountain. Debris continues to plummet into the atmosphere, creating an artificial meteor shower. Displaying a noticeable limp, Six begins to walk away down the mountain.''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
===Easter eggs===
*A [[Data pads|data pad]] can be found after the skirmish at the docks with the Bullfrogs. It is on a construction platform's walkway by a civilian corpse.
*The same [[Forerunner]] symbol seen on the gate in ''[[Winter Contingency]]'' can be found on this level. In the room before the one full of Suicide Grunts (the one with laundry in it) there is a bottle of cleaning fluid with the symbol on it. As one enters the room, it's on a shelf on the right. The bottle is blue with a white label. The symbol can only be seen while using night vision.
*Three [[BOB#Exodus|BOBs]] may spawn on the level, taking the form of Banshees with permanently lit thrusters. As Exodus does not have the model for Elites in its memory, these Banshees appear instead.<ref>[http://www.gruntspajamas.com/forum/index.php?topic=1730.40;wap2 '''gruntsinpajamas.com''', ''The Official Lord Friendship's BOB Video Guide Thread'']</ref>
===Miscellaneous===
*In the beginning [[cutscene]], Noble Six looks at their wrist before leaving the snowy mountain. This is because the original version of Six wore the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Tactical#Tactical/UGPS|Tactical/UGPS]] wrist attachment as standard.
*This is the only level the player will start with a wounded status, with the health bar reading 5 blocks from the center, or amber level. This is likely because of Six's injuries after landing from space.
*This is the first level in ''Halo: Reach'' in which the player fights Brutes, the first level where the Spiker and Gravity Hammer are usable, and the only level where no Elites are encountered.
*At the beginning of the level, Brute and Jackal footprints can be found in blood around dead civilians, similar to the Elite and Grunt footprints in ''[[Winter Contingency]]''
*At the start of the level, several crows can be seen flying around. If the player shoots, they have no death animation or corpse and will simply disappear in a splatter of blood. They will caw ambiently and make a shrieking sound when killed. The crows will spawn in groups of three, and all three will respawn once the previous three have all been killed.
*If the player kills a civilian in this level, even accidentally, the player will die instantly. This is similar to the level ''Winter Contingency'', where killing a farmer will kill the player.
*Sergeant Major Duvall is invincible, as he is considered a plot-critical character due to his radio exchanges with the evacuating civilian transports. However, he remains in the staging area and doesn't participate in the battle, unless he is ordered into a Warthog by the player. He will eventually disappear if left in the staging area.
*After killing the gunners of the two Shade turrets at the landing pad, the turrets will immediately explode. This is likely for the game to clear the landing pad in prep for the aircraft arriving there.
===Mistakes===
===Mistakes===
*During the part where Noble Six and several troopers are leading civilians to an elevator, they will strangely not get on, even if the player stalls. It is possible the troopers and civilians are waiting for Six to clear the path, as the elevator opens directly into a triage center for wounded.
*When the civilian transport hovering above the water gets shot by the Corvette's plasma bolt, the resulting explosion occurs just before the actual plasma bolt impacts it.
*Sometimes, the Bullfrogs may jump off the building after aiding the player with fending off the Brute lance. It is unknown if this action is scripted as usually two of the ODSTs can be seen jumping off the building as if scripted.
*During the part where Noble Six and several troopers are leading civilians to an elevator, they will strangely not get on, even if the player stalls.
*When the civilian transport hovering above the water gets shot by the Corvette's plasma bolt, the resulting explosion occurs two frames before the actual plasma bolt impacts it.
===Reference===
*Although there were a total of five civilian transports stationed at the starport (Including one that is shot down), only three are seen fleeing the city at the level's conclusion, leaving the fifth transport's fate unclear. Its possible that this missing transport is ''[[7 Echo 3]]'' which was stated to have Covenant breaching its landing bay before the missiles were fired.
*The second chapter, "Too Close to the Sun" is a reference to the [[Halo 3]] achievement [[Too Close to the Sun]] and is also a reference to Greek mythology, specifically the story of [[wikipedia:Icarus|Icarus]].
 
===References===
*The name of this level, Exodus, is a reference to the [[wikipedia:Book of Exodus|Book of Exodus]], in which Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt to free them from the rule of the Pharaoh. Similarly, in this level, Six leads civilians out of the city of New Alexandria, which is most likely named after [[wikipedia:Alexandria|Alexandria]], a city in Egypt.
*Noble Six's pistol has [[seven]] rounds in its magazine at the beginning of this level.
*The second chapter, "Too Close to the Sun" is a reference to the ''Halo 3'' achievement [[Too Close to the Sun]] and is also a reference to Greek mythology, specifically the story of [[wikipedia:Icarus|Icarus]].
*The closing chapter "I Should Have Become a Watchmaker" comes from a quote from Albert Einstein referring to quantum mechanics and how it destroyed any view of the universe as deterministic. The full quote reads "The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking... The solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker."
*The closing chapter "I Should Have Become a Watchmaker" comes from a quote from Albert Einstein referring to quantum mechanics and how it destroyed any view of the universe as deterministic. The full quote reads "The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking... The solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker."
*6 Echo 2's fate is similar to that of [[Cargo 3]] from ''Halo Wars'', as the pilots of both craft attempted to take off early despite nearby Covenant forces and were shot down shortly thereafter.
*Noble Six's pistol has [[List of "seven" references in Halo|seven]] rounds in its magazine at the beginning of this mission.
*Six's line ''"The last transport is away,"'' is likely a reference to ''[[starwars:Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back]]''. A similar line, ''"The first transport is away,"'' is said when an orbiting Star Destroyer is disabled by a land-based ion cannon, allowing a transport vessel to evacuate [[starwars:Echo Base|Echo Base]].
*SPARTAN-B312's line ''"The last transport is away,"'' is likely a reference to ''Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back''. A similar line is said when an orbiting Star Destroyer is disabled by a land-based ion cannon, allowing a transport vessel to evacuate Echo Base.


===Tips===
===Miscellaneous===
*As most of the Brutes do not have shields, [[blamite]] weapons like [[Type-33 Needler|needlers]] and [[Gadulo-pattern needle rifle|needle rifles]] are extremely useful against them.
*This is the first mission in ''Halo: Reach'' in which the player fights Brutes, the first level where the Spiker and Gravity Hammer are usable, and the only mission where no Elites are encountered.
*Three [[SRS99-AM sniper rifle|sniper rifles]] can be found in this level. The first is in the first area where Brutes are fought, on the balcony above the first health pack. The second is on the balcony overlooking the stairs with Sniper Jackals that leads to the executive landing pad. The third is by the missile battery on the far end of the park.
*Sometimes, the Bullfrogs may jump off the building after aiding you with fending off the Brute lance. It is unknown if this action is scripted as usually two of the ODSTs can be seen jumping off the building as if scripted.
*Three [[M41 rocket launcher|rocket launchers]] can be found in this level. One is held by the Bullfrogs to ward off Banshees, another is by the weapons cases where the troopers are battling a Phantom, and the third is by the missile battery nearest to the landing site.
*[[Sergeant Major]] [[Duvall]] is invincible, as he is considered a plot-critical character due to his radio exchanges with the evacuating civilian transports. However, he remains in the staging area and doesn't participate in the battle, unless he is ordered into a Warthog by the player. He will disappear if left in the staging area.
*If the player kills a civilian in this level, even accidentally, the player will die instantly. This is similar to the level ''[[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]]'', where killing a farmer will kill the player.
*At the start of the level, several crows can be seen flying around. If the player fires on them, they have no death animation or corpse and will simply disappear.
