'''Keyes''' is the ninth [[campaign]] level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''. In this level, the [[Master Chief Petty Officer|MCPO]] [[John-117]] returns to the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' to rescue [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]]. The Master Chief fights his way through the ship and on the ground while trying to survive the bloody engagement between the Flood and surviving Covenant forces. At the end of the level, the Master Chief discovers a horrifying truth: Captain Keyes has been completely taken over by the Flood. With no other choice, the Chief physically removes the Captain's implants which contain the access codes to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. He then hijacks a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] and escapes. | |||
In ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', upon completion of this level on any difficulty, the player will unlock the [[achievement]] "[[Keyes (achievement)|Keyes]]", which is worth 25 [[Gamerpoint|Gamerscore points]]. If the player managed to kill every [[Sangheili]] in this level on [[Heroic]] difficulty or higher, they are awarded by the "[[Tying Up Loose Ends]]" achievement and 10 Gamerscore points. Furthermore, players who managed to kill 100 Flood infection forms in this level on Heroic difficulty or higher are rewarded by the "[[Popcorn.gif]]" achievement, worth 25 gamerpoints. | |||
In ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', completing the level on any difficulty unlocks the "[[Keyes (achievement)|Keyes]]" achievement worth 10 gamerpoints. "[[Tying Up Loose Ends]]" is unlockable with the same criteria and is worth 10 gamerpoints. Finding and viewing [[Keyes' pipe]] will unlock the "[[No Smoking]]" achievement, worth 5 gamerpoints. Beating the level's par time and par score will unlock the "[[Scurty Bump]]" and "[[Headstrong]]" achievements respectively, each worth 10 gamerpoints. Activating the [[Terminal/Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Terminal]] found on the level will unlock the "[[Mind Games]]" achievement worth 5 gamerpoints. | |||

Since players can see the bridge through the grille in the beginning of the level, it indicates that the player is on the third floor. However, once the player reaches the hole created by coolant, he/she is located on first floor of the shuttle bay. The corridors that lead the player from the beginning of the level to the hole are obviously too short to travel such a high and long distance. This is obviously an oversight by [[Bungie]]'s mission designer. | ||
