| '''Sniper Alley''' is the [[UNSC]] codename for the canyon at the entrance to the [[Vale Citadel]] in the [[Forerunner]] shield world [[Requiem]].{{Ref/SpOps|Id=s1c2|Departure|Departure/Sniper Alley|LevelLinkText=Sniper Alley}}{{Ref/SpOps|Id=s2c4|Artifact (Spartan Ops)|Artifact (Spartan Ops)/Pelican Down|LevelLinkText=Pelican Down}}{{Ref/SpOps|Id=s4c1|Didact's Hand|Didact's Hand/Hairy Call|LevelLinkText=Hairy Call}} | |

| ==History== | | ==Trivia== |
| The Sniper Alley location is an [[Reclaimer (level)|area on Requiem]] that leads to the Vale Citadel, which contains the planet's [[particle cannon]] network and the AI personality of the [[Librarian]]. [[John-117]] entered the area to neutralize the particle cannon network to allow him to reach and destroy the [[gravity well]] holding the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} on the planet. After clearing [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]] from the area, John-117 faced [[Promethean]] forces. He managed to defeat all of them and progress within the structure and disable the network.{{Ref/Level|Id=reclaimer|H4|Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer}}
| | The name may be a reference to ''[[Halo 2]]'''s level [[Outskirts]], where an especially challenging section filled with [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s was dubbed by players as "Sniper Alley". |

| Six months later, during the [[Requiem Campaign]], [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] forces had put up an energy source and were drawing energy from the Forerunner mechanisms within the planet. The ''Infinity'' sent in [[Fireteam Crimson]] to locate the power source and eliminate the Covenant in the area. Crimson was successful and an air strike was conducted, destroying the generator. Crimson then was extracted from the area.{{Ref/Reuse|s1c2}} Later en route to [[The Refuge (Requiem location)|the Refuge]], Crimson's [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] was shot down by Covenant-run Forerunner anti-air turrets. Crimson managed to survive, clear Covenant from the location yet again, and disable the turrets. Crimson then continued on to the Refuge.{{Ref/Reuse|s2c4}} Despite their two defeats, the Covenant did not give up on the location and re-established a presence, secretly communicating by using a generator in Sniper Alley. Once again, Fireteam Crimson had to eliminate the Covenant at the location and destroy their target prior to extraction.{{Ref/Reuse|s4c1}}

| When Dr Catherine Halsey was abducted by the Covenant during [[Invasion of the UNSC Infinity|an attack on the UNSC ''Infinity'']], [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Thomas Lasky]] sent [[Fireteam Majestic]] to rescue her. The Spartans fought through Sniper Alley to access the Vale Citadel, although they failed to rescue Halsey.{{Ref/SpOps|Id=key|Key}}

| ==Production notes==
| |
| *The name may be a reference to ''[[Halo 2]]''{{'}}s level [[Outskirts]], where an especially challenging section filled with [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s was dubbed by players as "Sniper Alley".
| |
| *In ''[[Spartan Ops]]'', the canyon area to earlier sections in the campaign level ''Reclaimer'' is made inaccessible for players, instead becoming the [[Quarry]].
