'''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.

The level takes place on August 23, 2552, several hours after [[Exodus]], in the airspace above the embattled city of [[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. He mounts a [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcon]] and assists [[Kat]] in destroying the [[Covenant communications jammer|jamming devices]].


'''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.

*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.
*An additional 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 [[Olympic Tower|ONI Headquarters building]]. 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, they 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 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.

==Trivia==
The following [[achievement]]s can be unlocked on New Alexandria across the [[Xbox 360]] and ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' editions of ''Halo: Reach''.
===Mistakes===
{| class="wikitable"
*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. It is likely that this was a simple oversight.

*The elevator in Sinoviet tower has walls can be fired through. That is, on co-op, a player in one elevator can injure a player in the other elevator.

*When the slide on Kat's M6G locks back it can be seen that there is simply another slide over top of the existing one, but in the locked back position. What makes this obvious is the pistol has two rear sights at that point.

==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==
===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}}
*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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_World_Financial_Center Shanghai World Financial Tower] to fly the Pelican or Phantom respectively.
*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==
===Mistakes===
*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.

===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 layout of Club Errera, where the two pairs of Hunters are fought, is identical to the layout of the Firefight map ''[[Crater]]''.
*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]].

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.
*A section of the final cutscene for this level is featured in the [[Halo: Reach "The Battle Begins" Campaign 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.
*This is the only level in the entire Halo series in which the player can pilot a [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] or a [[Phantom]] without the use of [[Modding|modifications]].
*This is the first and only level (excluding the Falcon glitch on Winter Contingency) that Noble 6 gets the chance to fly a Falcon.
*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 process, before the level took its current form, Bungie considered the possibility of having the level be set after the city's glassing, with the player controlling a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]] in the ruins of New Alexandria. While the designers created a gameplay prototype of this concept, the idea was scrapped due to the technical difficulties of successfully implementing a drivable Scarab while keeping the gameplay sustainable.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-halo-reach-tech-interview?page=3 '''Eurogamer.net''': ''Tech Interview: Halo: Reach'']</ref><ref name="comm">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''Legendary Edition Developer Commentary''</ref>
*If the player is stranded in an outdoors area, he/she has the option to call for a transport to pick him/her up to replace the lost or destroyed Falcon. The player will be teleported back to the starting platform, and new falcon will land.
*The [[Banshee]]s of this level have no pilots; this can be easily seen when hijacking one. Still, you can get a [[Bone Cracker Medal]] or a [[Splatter]] medal by flipping the Banshee immediately when you hijack one.
