'''New Alexandria''' is the eighth level in the [[campaign]] of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.

As Noble Team flees to a radiation bunker, Kat is shot through the back of the head by a [[Needle Rifle]] round fired from a [[Phantom]] overhead. Her body is dragged into the bunker by Noble Six as the doors close. Three days later on August 26, after the Covenant forces are gone, Noble Team walks outside to be picked up by a Pelican, with Kat’s dead body in Carter’s arms. | ||

Originally, the plan was for the level to be set after glassing, with the players walking around the glasslands on the city outskirts by hijacking and driving a [[Type-47B Scarab]]. The development got as far as having a prototype mock-up for the player-controlled Scarab, and a mocked-up section of city. The physics were commented on by Chris Opdahl as being "sweet", though the experience of driving the Scarab was ultimately unsustainable. Combined with the high engine-cost to run the level, the prototype was scrapped, resulting in the final level making the cut featuring the Falcon instead.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-halo-reach-tech-interview?page=3|SiteName=Eurogamer|PageName=Tech Interview: Halo: Reach - Page 3}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Commentary|HR|Detail=[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|Legendary Edition]] developer commentary}} | ||
