<center>''Looking for the city of [[New Mombasa]], or the ''[[Halo 2 Vista]]'' [[Metropolis (Achievement)|achievement]]?''</center>


'''Metropolis''' is the fifth [[campaign]] level of ''[[Halo 2]]''. It is the first level where the player is able to drive the [[Scorpion Tank]] and the first level with [[Muz-pattern Wraith|Wraiths]] and [[Oghal-pattern Banshee|Banshees]]. Metropolis is one of two levels where the player can acquire the [[Gauss Warthog]] (the other being [[Quarantine Zone]]). It takes place in [[New Mombasa]], and starts as soon as the player emerges from the highway tunnel that was the last part of [[Outskirts]].
{{Article Quote|Take the bridge, break the [[Covenant]]'s grip on the city-center.}}


In this stage, the [[John-117|Master Chief]] and two [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] must battle across a long bridge guarded by [[Covenant]] forces and another but shorter tunnel than the one at the end of [[Outskirts]]. After that, there is [[Kilindini Park Cultural Center|a small park]], where another Marine-controlled Warthog lurks, and an open urban area with Wraiths, before going onto catwalks attached to buildings in order to attempt to board the {{Pattern|Protos|Scarab}} and take out the Covenant piloting it.

===[[Glitch]]es===
*During Field Expedient, if the player walks back into the building, the Scarab will continue firing its main cannon, the beam will continue to Sgt. Bank's balcony, killing him and the marine beside him, thus leave a dark mark in the area. This glitch won't happen if player sees the Scarab, so it is recommend to stand at where the Marines with turret and shotgun are.


*Because Metropolis is the second part of a two-part level, the player's weapons will carry over from Outskirts, unless one of the weapons is a Rocket Launcher or a Magnum. If the player finishes Outskirts with a Rocket Launcher they will start Metropolis with a Battle Rifle and an SMG. This is most likely done so that the player cannot have both Marines at the beginning of the level armed with Rocket Launchers.

*It's possible to save the tank that gets destroyed by the Scarab. Instead of going up the stairs on foot, take a Ghost or Warthog and drive off the roof and get the Marine out of the Scorpion Tank and reverse. The driver will have no armor, weapons, and occasionally, no face. This Marine is different every time. If given a chance to sit on the tank's hull will position his hands as though he is holding an weapon though he is not. Also, saving the tank will often cause the scripted dialogue to play out of order.

*It is possible to get the tank over the stuck doors in the tunnel (as it is with a Warthog or Ghost). The first is rather easy, the second takes a bit of positioning. However, beyond that, the player will have to continue on foot (or use a Warthog or Ghost, as they will fit in the pipe). They must aim the right treads so they are lined up with the wall, then go partially up the wall and quickly steer left. It should go through the gap. This is very useful for Legendary. It is also found to be easier backing up over the doors.

*If the player takes the Wraith tank on the bridge, and use the mortar on the Phantom continuously that carries another Wraith, it will get "stuck" on the cables holding up the bridge. The Phantom cannot be destroyed, like others in ''Halo 2'', but repeated shots with the mortar will slide it slightly on the cable it gets stuck on.

*When you've performed the Banshee glitch, destroy the three Wraiths that are attacking the pinned down Marines. Then land your Banshee on the top of the building. Jump off the building, progress at the normal procedure and when you see the Scarab firing, get into your Banshee and head for the Scarab, land on it and get inside. You can see that no one is controlling the Scarab. When you wait a little longer, you will see that Elites and Grunts are spawning in the Scarab.

*If you get a Warthog on top of the Scarab it will float above the ground. You can use this trick to also put Marines on the Scarab. Before you drive the Warthog onto the Scarab you get the Marines in the turret and passenger seat. Once on the Scarab get them off and they will fight.

*If you jump on the rear leg of the Scarab at the end of the level and walk forward your legs will detach from your body and end up in the gap between the scarabs body and leg. you can also use this position to look inside the scarab and kill anyone inside but first you must go inside the scarab to make the elites spawn as there is no way off the leg once on it.

*The "[[Sign in Metropolis]]" can be found near the area where the player fights a trio of {{Pattern|Muz|Wraith}}, right before you enter the Marine command post. You can find it by following the road which curves around in a detour to the left. The sign is holographic and is next to a shut door and a weapon cache. Unlike most other signs on the level, the sign is destructible and will explode violently. It is similar to signs seen in the [[Halo 2 E3 Demo]].

*It is possible to obtain the Scarab Gun without using the Banshee glitch, but it requires the Sputnik skull and a rocket launcher. On the last bridge of the level a small green supply box must be lined up exactly where the bridge meets the walkway leading to it. You must stand on the box and fire the rocket at or near the other exploitable metal box on your left facing the bridge. Usually the blast sends you way past the bridge with the SG or kills you, but if you do it right you'll have just the right momentum to land on the bridge with the Scarab Gun.

*Prior to entering the command post, traverse up the ramp leading to the weapons cache.
