'''Halo''' is the second [[campaign]] level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. Set on the morning of [[2552#September|September 19, 2552]], it gives the player the first "on the ground" view of [[Installation 04]]. As the only survivor from the [[Bumblebee escape pod]] crash, [[John-117]] fights against the marauding Covenant forces, while searching for and rescuing other survivors from the ''Pillar of Autumn''. This is the first level in the game in which [[Kig-yar]] and [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] are encountered.

==Production notes==
[[File:HCE BackToBack.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Promotional image of John and a Marine, back-to-back on an early version of the level.]]
{{Main|Development of Halo: Combat Evolved}}
Art Director [[Marcus Lehto]] led the art design of the campaign level ''Halo''. Lehto cited [[wikipedia:Snoqualmie Falls|Snoqualmie Falls]] in Seattle as a major inspiration for the level's natural landscape, especially the first waterfall upon exiting the lifeboat.{{Ref/Film|Id=ReachCommentary|[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|''Halo: Reach'' Legendary Edition]] Developer Commentary}} The second half of the level was inspired by the terrain seen in the [[Halo announcement trailer|MacWorld ''Halo'' announcement trailer]]. According to [[Paul Bertone]], the level design determined the direction for the game engine, which needed to support the wide-open terrain and high density of gameplay. Artist Chris Lee modelled the beam emitters seen throughout the level. Designer [[Jaime Griesemer]] was responsible for the level design.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=IGN|9ndZbg8Mr-Q|IGN|Halo: Combat Evolved Devs React to Speedrun (Martin O’Donnell, Marcus Lehto)}}
[[Jen Taylor]], the voice actress of Cortana, also voiced the lifeboat pilot at the beginning of the level.{{Ref/Film|Id=Commentary|[[Halo 3 Legendary Edition|''Halo 3'' Legendary Edition]], Halo: Combat Evolved developer commentary}}
Cortana's line "This cave is not a natural formation" is ridiculed by many members of [[Bungie]] and many fans due to its blatant obviousness.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Commentary}} Originally, the cave to which Cortana refers looked natural, though Cortana could tell that it was not; due to time constraints, the cave was changed to look artificial near the end of the level's development, and the line was kept.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=ReachCommentary}} (Ultimately, the line would be ridiculous regardless of how the cave looked; since it was located on a clearly artificial megastructure, no geological features upon its surface would be natural.) The statement serves as the namesake of a chapter title in the ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' level ''[[The Package]]'', in which [[Noble Team]] retrieves a fragment of Cortana from a [[Babd Catha Forerunner complex|subterranean Forerunner complex]]. The dialogue would be referenced in other Microsoft games. In the ''[[Gearsofwar:Gears of War 2|Gears of War 2]]'' level ''Disturbing Revelations'', upon approaching a subterranean Locust structure, [[Gearsofwar:Dominic Santiago|Dominic Santiago]] says, "I think it's safe to say that's not a natural cave formation." In ''[[Wikipedia:Forza Horizon 4|Forza Horizon 4]]'', upon approaching a tunnel in the Pillar of Autumn showcase race, Cortana says, "This cave is not a natural formation."
In addition to introducing [[M. Fitzgerald]] as the Marine manning the Warthog dropped off by ''Echo 419'', the release of ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'' has also introduced two minor discrepancies into the canon:
*During the initial dialogue exchange with Foehammer, Cortana mentions a command shuttle to Foehammer, though the actual meeting point for the UNSC forces is [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]], though it is possible that she was referring to the command crew's lifeboat.
*At the end of the level, Cortana says, "We should move out, Lieutenant", even though Carol Rawley is a captain. It is possible that she was talking to Rawley's copilot, [[Frye|Lieutenant Frye]], though this seems inconsistent with the rest of the game, as Cortana exclusively communicates with Captain Rawley aboard ''Echo 419''.
Designer Paul Bertone considered this level as the iconic ''Halo'' level which defined the sense of mystery and explorative feeling.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=IGN}} The environment of this level would be referenced in the later games. The environment of this level served as inspiration for the ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map ''[[Valhalla]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' map ''[[Forge World]]'', both of which featured similar terrains with beam emitters and waterfalls. ''Valhalla'' was also remade into ''[[Ragnarok]]'' in ''[[Halo 4]]''. Furthermore, the cliff edge section of this level was recreated as the [[Firefight]] map ''[[Installation 04 (map)|Installation 04]]'' in ''Halo: Reach'' ''[[Anniversary Map Pack]]''. In ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', the [[Forge]] canvas ''[[Alpine]]'' also featured a similar terrain. Justin Dinges, the Campaign Art Lead on ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', cited the [[wikipedia:Pacific Northwest|Pacific Northwest]] forest biome as an inspiration for the environment on [[Installation 07]], but noted the biome was chosen as "a deliberate ode to the past" in an allusion to the environment in this ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' level.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/inside-infinite-february-2021|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Inside Infinite - February 2021}}


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
===Easter eggs===
*In ''Anniversary'', the [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary skulls#Mythic skull|Mythic skull]] can be found behind the large boulder on the right of the waterfall. The [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary skulls#Boom skull|Boom skull]] can be found on the top of the Forerunner tunnel's entrance.
*The [[Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#The Terminals|second Terminal]] in ''Anniversary'' can be found in the Forerunner tunnel, at the end of a small alcove under the space that can only be cleared by a jump.


===Glitches===
===Glitches===
*If the player stands under ''Echo 419'' when it lands near the cliff edge, the player will come up through the floor inside the Pelican. The player can then jump through the floor and walk around inside the troop bay, though he will die when the dropship flies away.
*If the player stands under ''Echo 419'' when it lands near the cliff edge, you will come up through the floor inside the Pelican. When this happens, jump up through the floor and you can walk inside the drop ship. However, when it starts to fly away, you'll fall through the floor, and to your death.
*All the Marines and Navy personnel rescued by ''Echo 419'' hold their arms as if they are carrying MA5Bs, even if they are armed with M6Ds or nothing at all.
*Any Marine or Navy tech sitting in the innermost seats of the Pelican will hold out their hands as if clutching an [[MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System|Assault Rifle]] (even the techs armed with [[M6D Personal Defense Weapon System|Pistols]]) but will actually hold nothing.
*Although the Pelican has ten seats, only a total of six Marines will ever board it at a time. The others will stay outside and wander around.
*Although the Pelican has ten seats, only a total of six Marines will ever board it at a time. The others will stay outside and wander around.
*There is a rarely encountered glitch that causes the Marines at the hillside complex or the rock formation to not board the Pelican. However, the mission will still proceed as though they had.
*Often, at the first lifeboat after ''Echo 419'' comes in to pick up the survivors, at least one of the surviving crew members or marines will simply run into the Pelican and continue to move as if nothing's blocking his path, rather than boarding the Pelican properly as the other AI do.


===Mistakes===
===Mistakes===
*Johnson asks for volunteers to accompany the Chief, but sometimes he is the volunteer.
*If the player enters the structure where the Marines don't encounter any Covenant drop ships and jump off the shaft that shoots blue energy straight up, the player will see a blue ball hovering in thin air when the player reaches the bottom (dead). This blue ball is actually the device [[Bungie]] uses to create the laser. Another way to see this is with a flycam.
*Because the models for Johnson and [[Stacker]] are used for Marine sergeants in the game, in this level it is possible to have two Johnson or Stacker NPCs accompany the player in the Warthog.
*Cortana mentioned a command shuttle to Foehammer, when the actual meeting point for the UNSC forces is [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]].
*On this level the model used for the Halo ring in the far distance does not actually meet the terrain. If the player looks at the bottom of the ring, (where it should flow into the ground below the cliffs), the player can see the sky between the ring and the ground, indicating a gap. This can be best seen with the scope on the pistol or sniper rifle found on this level when climbing the hill next to the cliff edge structure.
*In the structure near the steep cliff, where the player finds a team of Marines, some of them will fall down the chasm inside the structure if two Marines try to cross the bridges over it at once. Sometimes Marines will attempt to jump over the chasm.
*In the ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'' version of the previous level, John pulls a marine with a bandana into the Bumblebee. However, the bandana-wearing marine is nowhere to be found amongst the bodies of the escape pod wreckage.
*Cortana asks Johnson if he can spare some men to accompany the Chief, but only ''one'' Marine from his group is actually needed since the Warthog comes with its own gunner.
*While protecting the Marines at the river head crash site, the first Spirit bumps into a cliff as it leaves the area.
*Johnson asks for volunteers to accompany the Chief, but sometimes ''he'' is the volunteer.
*In both versions of the game, only seven bodies, including that of the pilot, are found inside the Bumblebee after the crash. In actuality, nine bodies should have been present.
*Because the models for Avery Johnson and [[Pete Stacker (Marine)|Pete Stacker]] are generic for all Marine staff sergeants in the game, in this level it is possible to have two "Sergeant Johnson"s or "Sergeant Stacker"s accompany the player in the Warthog.
*On rare occasions, the "Search for last survivors" mission objective will repeatedly show up on the screen and flash. This is common if the player is playing on an Xbox 360.
*At the end of the level, Cortana says, "We should move out, Lieutenant", even though [[Carol Rawley|Foe Hammer (Carol Rawley)]] is a captain. It is possible that she was talking to Rawley's copilot, [[Lieutenant Frye]] , though this seems inconsistent with the rest of the game, as Cortana exclusively communicates with Captain Rawley on Echo 419.
*On this level the model used for the Halo ring in the far distance does not actually "meet" with the terrain. If the player looks at the bottom of the ring (where it should flow into the ground below the cliffs) the player can see the sky in-between the ring and the ground, indicating a gap. This can be best seen with the scope on the pistol or sniper rifle found on this level.

*The level in its entirety was recreated in the [[Halo Mash-Up: Minecraft Evolved]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/halo-mash-up-pack-available-now|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Mash-Up Pack Available Now}}
*The ''[[Halo 3]]'' level, ''[[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]]'', is partially linked to this level as in the first, the player visits the installation for the first time and in the other one, for the last time.
*[[Marty O'Donnell]] revealed in the [[Halo 3 Legendary Edition]] bonus disc that [[Jen Taylor]] (voice actress of Cortana), also played the voice of the lifeboat pilot at the beginning of the level.
*The level was one of the inspirations for the design of the ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map, [[Valhalla]], since the environment is somewhat similar.
*The Bumblebee pilot's helmet has a resemblance to the helmet worn by the protagonist of the [[Marathon (Video Game Series)|Marathon]] video game series.


===Miscellaneous===
===Miscellaneous===
*If the player makes any Marines on board Echo 419 turn on him at the end, the player will not be able to board the Pelican until the Marines are all dead or when they start trusting him again.  
*While protecting the Marines at the river head crash site, the first Spirit crashes into a cliff as it leaves the area.
*If the player goes elsewhere instead of boarding Echo 419 when the last group of Marines have been rescued, the cutscene will soon play regardless the player's location.
*If the player makes any Marines on board Echo 419 turn on the player at the end, the player will not be able to board the Pelican until the player kills them all or until they trust the player.
*If the player manages to carry out with the level without ever using a Warthog (including the one in the beginning of the level), some of the scripted dialogue and music cues such as the one triggered upon exiting the underground tunnel will not trigger. These instances can be noticed when trying to unlock the "How Pedestrian" achievement.
*If the player goes on a joyride after saving the last group of Marines instead of boarding Echo 419, after a minute the cut scene will play regardless of where the player is.
*If the player enters the structure near the cliff edge and jumps down the shaft that shoots blue energy straight up, or uses a flycam, they will see a blue ball hovering in air when reaching the bottom. This object is used in scripting to generate the energy pulse.
*In the structure near the cliff edge, inside the inner rooms, Marines may accidentally fall into the shaft when crossing the bridge and die.
*Sometimes, a Spirit dropship can be seen in cutscenes if the player did not go through where the Spirit lands and deploys troops during gameplay.
*If the player somehow gets on top of the cliffs during the first part of the level (departing the Bumblebee until entering the underground tunnels), there is a unique scripted trigger volume that activates called "gotohell", which disables all player input permanently, including opening the menu and leaving the game. This is the only area in the entire game that uses this method of preventing the player from escaping the level.{{Ref/File|Halo Editing Kit|Mission\Game data\Trigger volumes\gotohell}}

*A good strategy for this level is to get any Marine (preferably with full health) onto the player's gunner seat of the Warthog. If possible, get one of the Marine snipers to be the player's passenger; his sniper has infinite ammo and he rarely misses targets (all 1-2 hit kills with sniper).
