'''Outskirts''' is the fourth [[campaign]] level of ''[[Halo 2]]''. As the [[John-117|Master Chief]], you must battle your way through the streets of [[Old Mombasa]], [[Earth]], with [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] to reach the beach. From there you head to a [[New Mombasa 105 East|highway]] tunnel, which leads to the next level, [[Metropolis]]. This is also the first level in which you will encounter [[Kig-yar|Jackals]], [[Jackal Snipers]], [[Hunters]], and [[Phantom]] Dropships, as well as the first ''Halo 2'' level in which you can drive vehicles, as well as the first mission to take place on the Earth.

*It is possible to give a Marine no weapon. First, give any Marine an SMG (preferably a regular Marine, it tends not to work with Sergeants), then you must have two Magnums (have at least over 60 spare rounds, 96 would be good). Note that this only works at certain parts of the level, and that the Marines must first be in combat for it to work, the best time and best possible chance of this working is either just after the Pelican leaves with Johnson, after the fight with the Sniper Jackals around the corner, or just as you pass that. Then run up to him and while moving, take his weapon, and if done well enough, the pistol you give him will go right through him and onto the ground. When he walks, he will look kind of strange, but the funniest bit is when you get him in the side of the Warthog, he will stand up in the side with his arms spread apart in a "T" shape, and when he walks, he will look as if he is holding a Pistol ''and'' sometimes will move as if being fired at. | *It is possible to give a Marine no weapon.
