'''On Top of the World''' is the second mission of ''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]''. The mission takes place on a highrise in New Mombasa where a [[Unidentified Spartan-IV|Spartan-IV]] has been sent to retrieve a [[Covenant]] data pad.
==Introduction==
The downed Covenant [[Type-25 Spirit|Spirit]] is on the far side of the high-rise roof. Covenant forces have dug in, awaiting extraction. Retrieve the data pad from the Covenant Commander.

==Objectives==
===Navigate accros the rooftops===
Upon arriving to the rooftop, the Spartan IV receives instructions from [[Kwon|Lieutenant Kwon]] on the whereabouts of the deta pad. Two [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODSTs]] stand ready in the area with several dead [[Unggoy]] behind them. Several [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] are engaged in combat with [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk|Sparrowhawks]] around the building while a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] [[dropship]] carrying a [[M808 Scorpion|Scorpion tank]] flies nearby. Below, a [[Type-47 Scarab|Scarab]] can be seen crossing [[New_Mombasa_105_East#Kilindini_Bridge|Kilindini Bridge]]. The Spartan encounters over a dozen [[Unggoy Minor|Unggoy Minors]] in this area, as well as an empty [[Type-29 Shade|Shade turret]]. Upon engaging the Spartan, the Unggoy begin to take casualties rapidly and are eventually eliminated.
===Call the elevator===
The Spartan finds a gap between the two main structures. Kwon advices him to call up the elevator to create a bridge. Two [[Yanme'e]] fly up to the rooftop and attack the Spartan-IV as he approaches the elevator panel.
===Hold out===
As the elevator climbs it way to the top, several Yanme'e arrive to the area and more Unggoy are dropped by Spirit dropships. After 1 minute and 15 seconds, the elevator arrives.
===Reach the crashed Spirit===
As the Spartan-IV crosses the improvised bridge, a Covenant squad comprised of several Unggoy and one [[Sangheili Minor]]. Upon desposing of the Covenant squad, the Spartan finds the way blocked again, this time by a set of barricades.
===Clear the area===
Kwon sends a [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]] with a satchel charge meant to destroy the barricade. However, the charge cannot be delivered until the Spartan eliminates a Yanme'e squad that just arrived to the rooftop. Two Scorpion tanks come into view in the bridge below, engaging several Banshees, [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]] and a [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantom]].
===Retrieve the satchel===
Soon, the Yanme'e proof to be no match for the Spartan. The Hornet lands and the explosive charge is taken by the supersoldier.
===Plant the satchel charge===
The Spartan-IV quickly takes the charge to the barricade and destoys it, clearing the path to the data pad.
===Take out the Elite Commander===
At the far end of the rooftop, the [[Sangheili]] Commander and two Unggoy await the Spartan-IV. The first Unggoy operating a Shade turret attacks the Spartan, who in turn kills him and moves on to take out the other Unggoy and the Sangheili that are hiding in the wreackage of the crashed Spirit .
===Retrieve the data pad===
After being killed, the Sangheili Commander drops the data pad on the floor. The supersoldier moves to rerieve it while more Yanme'e ambush him.
===Return to the Hornet===
With the data pad retrieved, the Spartan-IV begins fighting his way back to the Hornet for extraction, encountering over a dozen Covenant troops who try to stop him, but untimately fail to do so.

==Assault Ops==
===Assault Op 1===
Kill 10 Drones with a Magnum
===Assault Op 2===
Destroy 4 Shade Turrets with grenades
===Assault Op 3===
Kill 6 Elite Minors with an [[MA5D assault rifle|Assault Rifle]]

==Trivia==
===Miscellaneous===
*This missions takes place simultaneously with the beginning of the [[Halo 2]] level [[Metropolis]].
===Mistakes===
*The Scarab crossing the bridge is depicted as a [[Type-47_Scarab#Type-47B_.27Deutoros.27_model|Deutoros]] model, while in Halo 2 it is actualy a [[Type-47_Scarab#Type-47A_.27Protos.27_model|Protos]] model.
*Two Scorpion tanks engage Covenant forces on the bridge, despite there being only one during Metropolis.
===Easter Eggs===
*The Pelican dropship seen at the start of the mission is intended to be the same dropship [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] uses to deliver the Scorpion tank to [[John-117]] and the remaining [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] forces on the bridge in Halo 2.
