Having been found by [[Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]], [[Marcus Stacker]], some [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], and the [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], the [[John-117|Master Chief]] is escorted through the jungle, not knowing there is trouble ahead. Johnson has with him two squads of Marines, but, after spotting a Covenant [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] overhead, he decides to split them in order to attempt to reach an evacuation point at a nearby river. The Master Chief, Thel 'Vadam and one squad head one way, following a stream leading to the river, while Johnson and the other [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces scale a waterfall, and head another way. Bravo squad, apparently left behind by Johnson's team to guard the Landing Zone, where Pelicans were to extract the troops, breaks radio silence, and is attacked by a [[pack]] of [[Jiralhanae]], led by a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]].
Having been found by [[Sergeant Johnson]], [[Stacker|Sergeant Stacker]], some [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], and the [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], the [[John-117|Master Chief]] is escorted through the jungle, not knowing there is trouble ahead. Johnson has with him two squads of Marines, but, after spotting a Covenant [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] overhead, he decides to split them in order to attempt to reach an evacuation point at a nearby river. The Master Chief, Thel 'Vadam and one squad head one way, following a stream leading to the river, while Johnson and the other [[UNSC]] forces scale a waterfall, and head another way. Bravo squad, apparently left behind by Johnson's team to guard the Landing Zone, where Pelicans were to extract the troops, breaks radio silence, and is attacked by a [[pack]] of [[Jiralhanae]], led by a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]].


The Chief encounters the previously patrolling Phantoms, which drop off Jiralhanae and Unggoy. After the battle, they receive notice from Johnson that they cannot get into contact with another Marine team, Bravo. Almost immediately after, the group comes across a stricken marine held captive by a Jiralhanae on a log above them. The Jiralhanae beats the Marine, inquiring about a secret "location." After killing the inquisitive Jiralhanae, they are told that the rest of Bravo is dead, apparently pinned down by a Phantom and slaughtered by a Jiralhanae Chieftain. The Bravo team survivor, [[Reynolds|Gunnery Sergeant Reynolds]], then joins the squad escorting the Master Chief.

By the time the Master Chief and Thel 'Vadam make it to the river for evacuation, the [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican]]s at the evacuation point are already under attack by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] infantry. Johnson is seen using the [[AIE-486H machine gun|machine gun turret]] at the back of one of the Pelicans, and with combined fire the Covenant are momentarily pushed back. Several [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] swoop in on and attack the Pelicans. Both Pelicans suffer catastrophic wing damage from the Banshees' [[fuel rod cannon]]s and make a fiery exit further down river as more Jiralhanae and Unggoy reinforcements show up to kill Master Chief's squad. After pushing through the Covenant forces, the Chief and Thel 'Vadam are told over the COM that Johnson's Pelican has crash landed and shortly afterward come across him and his squad fleeing from the crash site, pursued by Jiralhanae and Unggoy forces. The Chieftain pulls his own Phantom out of the fight to regroup.

They desperately try to catch up with Johnson, killing many Unggoy, Jiralhanae and [[Kig-Yar]]. After coming across the crashed Pelican, they find [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|Sniper Rifle]]s and [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]]s. Master Chief, Thel 'Vadam and the surviving marines then find themselves in a thick jungle and have to fight past Kig-Yar hiding in the trees and on the ground, with no sign of Johnson or his squad of marines.

After coming across the crashed Pelican, they find [[SRS99D-S2 AM|Sniper Rifle]]s and [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]]s and they discover over the Pelican's radio that there is no sign of the second Pelican. It is assumed to have crashed and sunk into the lake. Master Chief, Thel 'Vadam and the surviving marines then find themselves in a thick jungle and have to fight past Kig-Yar hiding in the trees and on the ground, with no sign of Johnson or his squad of marines.


They then reach a large dam where they see Johnson being taunted and kicked into a small building and held captive by a Jiralhanae Chieftain. It is implied that this is the same Chieftain that killed Bravo's men and pursued Johnson from his crash site. The area is also littered with Unggoy and Kig-Yar as well as half a dozen Jiralhanae. With slow progress, the two heroes manage to fight their way through and around the dam and eventually take down the Jiralhanae Chieftain. They then rescue Johnson and the three surviving marines from his squad. (Note: the marines will be dead if you still have marines from before)

Johnson calls in Pelican [[Kilo 023]] piloted by [[Hocus]] to come and pick them up, but they are first engaged by two Phantoms which drop off hordes of Unggoy and a few [[Jiralhanae Captain]]s wielding [[Type-25 Brute Shot|brute shot]]s and [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker|spiker]]s. Whilst the group engages the ground forces, the Pelican arrives and takes down the two Phantoms with missiles. Hocus then lands and evacuates the survivors and Johnson is seen patting the Chief on the shoulder in thanks before the Pelican flies off.

==Production Notes==
Early paper sketch design documents suggest the first section of the mission would function as a separate, small tutorial mission with the working title of "Kilimanjaro Jungle". After a short engagement with some Grunts, the player would then enter a Warthog that would transition to the full gameplay mission with the working title of "River". While this "training course" mission was dropped, the idea evidently evolved into what is in the final game, with the intro cutscene and look inversion tutorial in the separate mission [[Arrival]].
In the early paper sketch for "River", the player was meant to stay in the Warthog and engage various enemies in a "Warthog Run" for some time, seemingly until about halfway through the mission, when for an at the time undecided reason ("Ambush?" being a suggested method) the player would then lose the Warthog and continue on foot to the dam. The dam section is almost entirely different in this version, with it being being a non-linear engagement around two dam bridges and a courtyard on the other side of the river. It is suggested the player could obtain a Ghost in the courtyard, and was meant to finish the mission by actually arriving at an entrance to [[Crow's Nest]]. This is unlike in the final game where the player enters a Pelican at the dam and flies to Crow's Nest in a cutscene.{{Ref/Site

[[File:Th Halo-3-Brute-GIF.gif|thumb|250px|The Chieftain kicks Johnson into the building as seen in the E3 2007 trailer.]]
*During the cutscene in which 'Vadam points out Johnson being forced into the holding area, the weapon that John is holding will vary depending on what primary weapon the player is holding prior to the cutscene much like during the cutscenes in Halo 2. This is the only occurrence in which the player can choose what weapon John has in a cutscene in the entire game. Every cutscene after this one has John scripted to hold specific weapons; regardless of what weapon the player actually is holding.

*The cutscene in which the Chieftain kicks Johnson into the building differs from the scene depicted in the [[Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer|''Halo 3 E3'' 2007 Trailer]]. In the trailer, the Chieftain catches Johnson's punch, leading to Johnson helplessly struggling before the Chieftain throwing him upwards then kicking him mid-air into the building. In the final release of the game, the Chieftain does not react to Johnson's punch, and instead kicks Johnson into the building with a knee strike.
*It is possible to kill the Brute Chieftain on the Phantom by Echo 051's wreckage. However, a Chieftain is still present to push Johnson into the prison, so they may be two different chieftains, or the one on the Phantom was not scripted to die.

*This is the only ''Halo 3'' mission where Thel 'Vadam will accompany the player through the entire level. (This does not include Halo, because on single player he will be absent during the fight against 343 Guilty Spark.)

*All of the kills Hocus gains through her missiles are headshots. This can be seen by turning on the [[Halo_3_skulls#Grunt_Birthday_Party|Grunt Birthday Party skull]] and leaving some grunts alive at the bridge, then quickly rushing to the bridge (note that the player is not supposed to actually try to kill them, due to her missiles being able to kill the player.) When her missiles kill the [[Grunts]], one can easily see the confetti and hear the children laughter.

*In [[Theater]], it is possible to see a six-winged bird. At the start, when the player sees the first Brute, three birds will sometimes fly low through the area and get stuck on the rock that the Brute is standing on, overlapping and forming a six-winged bird. It will disappear in a few seconds, so one may have to view the level in the [[Theater]] and pause when one sees it to get a good look at it.

*It is possible to "break" the level by tossing a [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|Plasma Grenade]] at [[Kilo 23 (Pelican)|Kilo 23]]'s cockpit at the end of the level. The grenade will pass through the door to the cockpit and kill [[Hocus]], causing the [[D77-TC Pelican]] to fall through the level's geometry and disappear. Caution: Kilo 23 is rather large. if it falls on you, you may be splattered.

*If, during the ''Charlie Foxtrot'' chapter, you shoot Johnson off of the bridge as he crosses it, he will begin to fight the [[Unggoy|Grunts]], and if you are playing on a sufficient difficulty (Legendary with a few gold skulls on), he can be knocked back by grenades and Brute Shot blasts. On rare occasions, he will be held back and rejoin your group, and on other occasions, he may get "stuck" against an environmental obstacle, able to move but refusing to do so. When you go to the bottleneck of the forest before the [[Brute Chieftain]] locks Johnson in the room, he will vanish. If done correctly, when you look at Johnson being held by the chieftain, he will be running and wielding his rifle.

**You can also grenade him off the bridge. He will generally try to run back up the ridge, and back across the bridge. When this happens, he is unaffected by grenades (they launch him into the air, but while in mid-air, he is posed as if he jumped or fell). He will also rarely respond to shots, though he may occasionally grunt in pain or curse if hit by shots from weapons like the Needler.

*It is possible to board the Phantom carrying the Brute Chieftain before he flies off to regroup. While inside the Phantom, the Brute cannot be killed. So long as you are on board, and mounted on one of the turrets, the Phantom will always get stuck on the cliff face. Should you dismount, you will fall to your death and the Phantom will resume its journey.

*When playing on [[Heroic]] or [[Legendary]], you can use a glitch to get the [[Type-1 energy sword|Energy Sword]] that Thel 'Vadam wields. Deliberately weaken the Arbiter by destroying his shield. Either make sure you see his Energy Sword on his hips, or when near enemies, he'll take it out. Kill him by either sticking him with a Plasma Grenade or letting the Covenant kill him (though the latter method will make it harder to find 'Vadam's corpse and his Energy Sword). When the deed is done, pick up the sword and it'll have around one to five energy left. If you want a fully-charged '''Energy Sword''', repeat the steps again, but wait several seconds after 'Vadam respawns, or he will see you as a [[Treason|traitor]], and kill you with one shot or melee attack.

*On [[Legendary]], with all the skulls on, it is possible to climb to the top of the hill where Sergeant Johnson and the Marines climb, but it is a small gap and very difficult to get there. It is on the left of the water. Up there, the marines will run into a small alcove and disappear.

*In the area where the two Pelicans are shot down by Banshees, as you head back into the jungle, you may be able to grenade the Arbiter off the cliff and onto the waterfall. He will slide down into the water, some distance beneath the surface, and run around for a little while. If you fire at him, you may be able to hear him faintly utter the usual phrases (e.x. "Save your fire for the Brutes!"). He will typically head off to the right (your right, when facing the entrance to the jungle) and travel some distance before reappearing back on the cliff, blindly running into a wall until you approach him.

*At the end of the level, it is possible to jump inside the Pelican without pressing RB. If you manage to do this, and melee the marine manning the [[machine gun turret]] to death, you can man the turret, but doing so will cause the level to end. You can also melee attack some of the marines in the seats; they will fall through the floor of the Pelican.

*At the end of the level, when Hocus's Pelican arrives and the Phantom's wreckage is still in the water, use a Plasma Grenade to blow one of the weapon crates into the water. If you jump onto the crate, it is possible to jump onto the biggest piece of the phantom. You can ride this until it sinks, where you can stay underwater on top of it indefinitely. You can also grenade jump off of the wreckage to get on top of the Pelican.

*At the end of the level, you can shake Hocus's Pelican. To do this, you'll need the [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|Gravity Hammer]] and possibly some Plasma Grenades. Jump on top of the Pelican once it comes to pick you up, by using the ledge to the left of it. Whack the tail end with the Gravity Hammer, or throw Plasma Grenades at it, making sure it moves away from the bridge. If done properly, the Pelican should move around.

*The Brute Chieftain at the end of the level will occasionally be invincible. He will possess no shields, and will bleed when shot, but can not be killed by any weapon, and can be deterred only by tricking him into jumping into the river, where he will not be able to get out. However, examination on Theater mode will show him still forever roaming the bottom.

*When you are approaching the part when you see Johnson and his men running over the bridge, try climbing the rocks in the area behind. You can pick up a Beam Rifle, and if you look closely enough, you might just see a family of [[Cavemen]].

*There are two secret towers outside the map: one behind some two dimensional trees, and one in the same area out by a lighting storm out in the open. They also are behind the invisible wall so you cannot reach them. You can find them if you get outside of the map in the dam area.

*At the beginning of the level after the Arrival, it is rumored that [[B-113-421]]'s roars can be heard before entering the pool area. However, this is questionable since B-113-421 is only present and mentioned in ''[[Believe]]'' which was non-canon.

*Near the end of the level, you can use the [[elevator glitch]] where the skull is located to get on top of the glass structure. If you walk across the structure and proceed onto the side of the cliff you will be able to find a lone caveman, which is similar to the cavemen you can find at the beginning of the level.

They should respawn above the player on the ledge above the skull. Once you have beaten the map, you can wander around above the dam and up into the hills on foot. There are numerous features like small hills and large holes in the ground. It has yet to be fully explored.

*There is a partially rendered entrance to the level "Crow's Nest" if you get out of this level using the method mentioned above. It looks somewhat like a cave, but there is no way out. It is recommended that one player stays out of the area while another goes in.
