'''New Alexandria''' is the eighth level in the [[campaign]] of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The level has a unique structure: the three main objectives may be assigned to the player in any order, and the minor objectives between these are randomly selected from a larger pool every time the mission is played. The mission requires the player to fly a Falcon, and the player is able to call in a new one should they lose theirs.

==Summary==
==Setting==
The level takes place on August 23, 2552, several hours after ''[[Exodus]]'', in the airspace above the embattled city of [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]]. [[Noble Six]] meets up with the rest of [[Noble Team]] and is informed that the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] are jamming all communications to Command. They mount a [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcon]] and assists [[Catherine-B320]] in destroying the [[Covenant communications jammer|jamming devices]].
The level takes place later on August 23, 2552, in the airspace above [[New Alexandria]].
 
==Plot==
[[Noble Six]] meets up with the rest of [[Noble Team]] and is informed that the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] are jamming all communications to Command. He mounts a [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcon]] and assists [[Kat]] in destroying the jammers.


'''NOTE:''' All encounters in this level are randomized. The three jammers are the only consistent parts, and the order in which they need to be destroyed may change between playthroughs.

*One jammer is located at the [[New Alexandria Hospital]]. The troopers sent to destroy it are locked in a fight with the [[Brutes]] before Noble Six arrives and destroys the jammer.

*Another jammer is located at [[Club Errera]] in the [[Vyrant Telecom Tower]]. Two pairs of [[Mgalekgolo]] stop the troopers, and Noble Six must deal with them before destroying the jammer.
*A jammer is also located in a [[Reflection|penthouse]] at the [[Sinoviet Center]]. Troopers assigned to destroy it were killed by [[Drones]] (save for a [[Shell-shocked Army trooper|single survivor]]) and Noble Six must finish the job.


As Noble Six destroys the jammers, Covenant {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}s arrive at New Alexandria and start [[glassing]] the city's outskirts.
Another jammer is located at [[Club Errera]] in the [[Vyrant Telecom Tower|Vyrant Telecom Tower]]. Two pairs of [[Mgalekgolo]] stop the troopers, and Noble Six must deal with them before destroying the jammer.


Between destroying the jammers, Noble Six must also complete secondary objectives which revolve around assisting the UNSC forces in the city. In single player and 2-player co-op there is one task between each jammer, while 3 and 4 player co-op have two objectives simultaneously assigned to the players. These objectives include:
A jammer is also located in a [[Reflection|penthouse]] at the [[Sinoviet Center]]. Troopers assigned to destroy it were killed by [[Drones]] (save for a [[Crazy Army Trooper|single survivor]]) and Noble Six must finish the job.


*[[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Edward Buck]] requests assistance. Buck's exact task varies; he may be rescuing his men from various danger or on a classified mission. In any case, Noble Six is instructed by Kat to escort Buck's Falcon to its destination.  
As Noble Six destroys the jammers, Covenant [[CCS|Battlecruisers]] arrive to the city and start [[glassing]] the areas further away.
*A team of troopers is under a Covenant attack and requests assistance. Kat instructs Noble Six to kill the Covenant forces in question. The targets may be [[Kig-yar|Jackal]] infantry, [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]], [[Jackal Sniper]]s, [[Jiralhanae|Brute]]s or [[Banshee]]s. A Pelican extracts the troopers after the enemies have been killed.
 
*[[Sangheili|Elites]] and [[Huragok|Engineers]] are attempting to break into the [[Misriah Complex]] from the rooftop. Kat orders Noble Six to take them out before they succeed.
Between destroying the generators, Noble Six must also complete two secondary objectives, which revolve around assisting the UNSC forces in the city. These objectives include
*[[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Edward Buck]] requests assistance in freeing his men from a collapsed building. Noble Six is instructed by Kat to escort Buck’s Falcon to the tower.
*A team of Troopers is under a Covenant attack and requests assistance. Kat instructs Noble Six to kill the Covenant in question. The targets may be [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]], [[Jackal Sniper]]s, Brutes or [[Sangheili|Elites]] and [[Huragok|Engineers]].
*A Pelican evacuating civilians cannot take off due to Covenant [[Shade]] turrets on the nearby rooftops. Noble Six has to destroy the Shades.

*Two Fuel-Rod Cannon Shade Turrets along with numerous Brutes are preventing Pelicans from escaping on top of the oval-like building. Kat orders Noble Six to eliminate them so evacuation operations can resume.
*A fourth jammer is found in an exposed rooftop location. Noble Six must eliminate Covenant forces guarding it and take it out.
*A mobile jammer is found in an exposed rooftop location. Noble Six must eliminate Covenant forces guarding it and take the jammer out.
After the last jammer is destroyed, Kat receives orders from [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]] that all personnel are to be evacuated through the [[Office of Naval Intelligence Headquarters]] building. However, a group of [[Shade]] turrets stationed around the building are preventing any evacuation craft from escaping.

However, a group of Shade turrets stationed around the building are preventing any evacuation craft from escaping.
After Noble Six destroys all of the turrets, he meets up with the rest of Noble Team at the ONI HQ. However, they receive an urgent hail from Colonel Holland, informing them that they are being redeployed to [[Sword Base]]. Just then, the Covenant begin [[glassing]] the city, and the signal is cut off. As Noble Team flees to a radiation bunker, Kat is hit in 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.

I hear if one of those [[Unggoy|little ones]] bites you, you turn into one! Imagine it, man, we're all going to turn into little methane-sucking freaks! They're going to strap us up with tanks and have us fighting on their side! Not me, man, I'm out! They're not going to get me. No way I'm turning into no [[Sangheili|squid-faced alien freak]]!

''Inside the heavily damaged [[Olympic Tower]], Noble Six joins up with the rest of Noble Team. Kat is fixing a comm unit, with her helmet on the floor. Jun looks out with a pair of binoculars. Emile sits at the side, sharpening his kukri, and Carter stands against a crashed Banshee tangled up in some wiring.''
 
*'''[[Warrant Officer]] [[Jun-A266]]''': "Look at this place. Used to be the crown jewel... Not anymore. ''(turns and notices Six)'' Hey, you made it."
*'''[[Warrant Officer]] [[Emile-A239]]''': "It's a regular family reunion..."
 
''Six looks at him, and loosens their hand to show Jorge’s dog tags dangling from it.''

''Covenant ships begins glassing the nearby area, creating a large shockwave. The Spartans fall to the ground to take cover as the explosion destroys the windows and pressure waves force air into the building. Switch to Kat's view.''

*'''Catherine-B320''': "''That close!''"


*'''Carter-A259''': "Those are senior-level communiques..."
''The Spartans get on their feet, and Kat picks up her helmet. They run towards two elevators. Carter, Emile and Jun take one while Kat and Noble Six take the other one. Kat closes the elevator door and starts it, though she misses the button at first, having been partially blinded by the explosion. The elevators rush down the building as Kat puts on her helmet.''
*'''Catherine-B320''': "I hear what I hear. Point is, why put Spartans on defensive deployments?"
*'''Cater-A259''': "I need that link to SATCOM, Kat."
*'''Catherine-B320''': "Chasing it, but this console has more shrapnel than transceivers... You didn’t answer my question."
*'''Carter-A259''': "You want to know if we're losing?"

*'''Catherine-B320''': "First glassing? Me too. Don’t worry, I’m on it. Our best option is a fallout bunker in Sublevel 2. Ninety-six metres northeast. We get orders from Holland, sir?"

*'''Carter-A259''': "We’re being redeployed to Sword Base."
*'''Carter-A259''': "Let’s hear it."
*'''[[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]] (COM)''': "--near the southwest quadrant of the city, over? Sierra Two-Five-Nine, if you are receiving, I am authorizing override of radio security protocols to link with this channel."
*'''Carter-A259''': "How long for a secure link?"
*'''Catherine-B320''': "I can’t guarantee secure anymore."
*'''Carter-A259''': "Could the Covenant trace it to us?"
*'''Catherine-B320''': "''I'' could."
*'''Colonel Holland (COM)''': "Noble Leader, this is a Priority One hail. If you are receiving, acknowledge immediately."
 
''Carter turns away, deliberating on whether to take the message. Kat hands Carter the communicator.''
 
*'''Catherine-B320''': "Keep it brief."
*'''Carter-A259''': "Carter here... Yes, sir."


''Carter walks toward the window as Jun notices something through his binoculars, and leans forward.''

''A massive plasma blast lights up the room as a Covenant warship opens fire on the area. The resulting shockwave shatters the windows, and the team dives or is thrown to the floor. Powerful wind howls through the room.''
''Carter’s elevator stops first and the three Spartans rush out.''

==Production notes==
In the early stages of planning for the campaign of ''Halo: Reach'', the team at Bungie knew they wanted a mission set in a war-torn city, though they did not know if they wanted it set before, during or after glassing. 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 {{Pattern|Deutoros|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|Site=Eurogamer|Page=Tech Interview: Halo: Reach - Page 3}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Commentary|HR|Detail=[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|Legendary Edition]] developer commentary}}
[[Dan Miller]] was a designer majorly responsible for the level's creation along with artist Mick Buckmiller, and imposed the "''super epic multi-parallel script/random ordered monster''" on himself as a challenge after beginning to get bored of creating ''Halo'' missions; having worked on ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST''. During production, he went over the game's script limit twice, custom-wrote the Falcon rescue script and 12 random mission scripts alongside a number of other major mission elements and did all of the bug-fixing alongside working on the next level, The Package, and adding in a large number of Easter Eggs. According to Miller, the music script for entering the SinoViet building was one of the more complicated ones.{{Ref/Site|Id=HBOMiller|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive37.pl?read=1092706|Site=halo.bungie.org|Page=Re: AI Script|Detail=Dan Miller discusses the development of New Alexandria}} Many of the level's ideas were also pulled from an [[:File:H3 TheArk DesignDoc.png|early draft]] of what would become the level [[The Ark]].{{Ref/Twitter|882000758798823424|dmiller260|Dan Miller|Quote=#halo3 map first draft of waypoint level:<br>I ended up taking those ideas to Halo Reach 'New Alexandria'|D=10|M=10|Y=2021}}
==Easter eggs==
New Alexandria contains a large number of easter eggs.
*The [[Flyable Pelican and Phantom]] can be found in this level by activating a switch on one of the buildings near Club Errera. After this is done the player must fly either a Falcon or Banshee through a second building resembling the [[Wikipedia:Shanghai World Financial Center|Shanghai World Financial Center]] to fly the Pelican or Phantom respectively.
*The [[Shell-shocked Army trooper]] can be found on this level.
*The soundtracks ''[[Never Surrender]]'' and ''[[Siege of Madrigal]]'' are included in the [[Club Errera Easter egg]] in this level.{{Ref/YouTube|XxuLOpuKTPw|Achievement Hunter|Halo: Reach - Never Surrender, Siege of Madrigal Easter Egg}}
*A cut easter egg would have parodied the 1982 game [[Wikipedia:Joust (video game)|Joust]], which featured a knight riding a flying ostrich, by allowing players to ride [[Moa]]s with [[jetpack]]s while wielding [[energy sword]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|HBOMiller}}
*A [[BOB]] in a Banshee will spawn every five to seven minutes at one of four spawn sites in the city. This Banshee will not attack, but fly at a low altitude on constant boost in a scripted path leading out of the city. The Daily Challenge "Golden Tree City" rewards the player for killing this Banshee on Legendary.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
===Mistakes===
===Easter Eggs===
*As 500 Röntgens of radiation over a period of five hours is fatal, receiving 90 million Röntgens of radiation, even for a relatively short period, should certainly be fatal, especially for Kat, Jun and Carter who were not wearing helmets; this is almost certainly a simple oversight.
*The [[Crazy Army Trooper]] can be found on this level.
 
*The soundtracks [[Never Surrender]] and [[Siege of Madrigal]] are included in the [[Club Errera easter egg]] in this level. <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxuLOpuKTPw</ref>
===References===
===References===
*The level is an homage to ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', with a similar score, mood, and a brief cameo appearance by [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Edward Buck]].  At the portion of the level involving Gunnery Sergeant Buck, "[[The Menagerie]]" a song from the ''[[Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack]]'' plays. This is further supported by how the random order of receiving missions in the level echoes players can play ''Halo 3: ODST'' levels in a random order, depending which beacon they inspect first.
*The layout of Club Errera, where the two pairs of Hunters are fought, is identical to the layout of the Firefight map [[Crater]].
**To be more specific, the level is extremely similar to the ''ODST'' level ''[[Kikowani Station]]'', both requiring the player to pilot an aerial vehicle and protect friendly forces.
*The [[Lift|elevator]] music heard in the [[Sinoviet Center]] elevator is actually from one of [[Martin O'Donnell]]'s old commercial jingles.<ref name="comm"/>

*The final chapter, ''Last One Out... Turn Out the Lights'' is an obvious reference to ''[[Halo 3]]'''s level [[Crow's Nest (Level)|Crow's Nest]]'s chapter ''Last One Out, Get the Lights'' and a ''[[Red vs Blue]]'' episode.

*If the player sees a {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} in the sky and pays attention to its movement, it will drift around 117 degrees to the point where it will begin glassing. Uniquely, this is the only level where you can see a cruiser drift in the same manner as a player is able to drift when steering a [[Warthog]] or [[Mongoose]].

*The level appears to be a homage to ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', with a similar score, mood, and a brief cameo appearance by [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Edward Buck]]. At the portion of the level involving Gunnery Sergent Buck, "[[The Menagerie]]" a song from the ''[[Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack]]'' plays.
*When the player must destroy the Covenant Jammer in the Sinoviet Industries tower, the layout of the lobby is identical to that of the ''[[Halo 2]]'' multiplayer level [[Ivory Tower]], and to its ''Halo: Reach'' remake, [[Reflection]].
*If this level is played on Co-op, the second player will be given a Falcon of their own. The Falcon given to the second player is armed with [[MG460 Automatic Grenade Launcher|grenade launchers]] instead of machine guns.
*There are several different random support objectives involving the use of the Falcon (i.e. assisting Buck, destroying a Covenant rooftop transmitter, or helping a group of Troopers kill a group of randomly generated Covenant teams on a rooftop or protect them from Banshees), but only two will be given per playthrough. The random nature of this mission is most likely why there are no Rally Points available, such that it can only be played from the beginning of the mission.

*Oddly enough, when the Falcon is on the ground, it is possible to rotate the turret far enough to damage the Falcon itself.
*A section of the final [[cutscene]] for this level is featured in ''[[The Battle Begins]]'' trailer. It is however, altered such that Carter is not carrying Kat's body, but an assault rifle. This was likely due to the trailer being released before the game, and the revealing of Kat's death had to be avoided.
*At the beginning of the level, if the players turns the camera to the right when getting into a Falcon, he/she can see a building collapsing. The collapse will only be triggered if the player approaches the building.
*Although the glowing orb in the center of [[Club Errera]] appears to be a hologram, it in fact acts exactly the opposite of a [[shield door]]: grenades and small arms fire pass through it, but a player cannot. It can be stood upon by a player using a [[Series 8 jetpack|jet pack]].
*Early on in the game's development, the level was supposed to be followed by a mission where the player would control a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]] in the ruins of New Alexandria.<ref name="comm">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''Legendary Edition Developer Commentary''</ref>
*For unknown reasons, if you try to land the Falcon to the top of the collapsed building southwest of the Vyrant tower, you will be destroyed instantly.
