'''The Truth and Reconciliation''' is the third [[campaign]] level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and its [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Anniversary remake]]. The Master Chief and a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] must rescue [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]], who is being held prisoner aboard the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ship, the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. After boarding the ship by using its [[gravity lift]], the Master Chief fights his way through the interior of the Covenant battlecruiser to rescue Captain Keyes and several other prisoners from the ship's brig. This is the first level in which [[Mgalekgolo]], [[Sangheili Zealot]], and [[Stealth Sangheili]] are encountered. | |||
'' | In ''Halo: Combat Anniversary'', completing this level on any difficulty rewards the player the "[[Truth and Reconciliation (achievement)|Truth and Reconciliation]]" [[achievement]] and 25 [[Gamerpoint|Gamerscore points]]. In the first encounter, if the player eliminates all Covenant troops without being detected, he or she is awarded by the "[[All According to Plan...]]" achievement and 25 Gamerscore points. Players who completes the level with at least four Sniper rifle rounds will be rewarded with the achievement "[[Close Quarters Combat]]" and 25 gamerscore points. | ||

===Miscellaneous=== | ===Miscellaneous=== | ||
* | *This is the only level in the entire game/trilogy that the player starts with a Sniper Rifle with a total of 68 rounds. When the player's ammo is less than 28 rounds and the player collects ammo, you can only get up to 28 rounds like a normal sniper rifle. When modding the game it is found that replacing the starting pistol with another weapon leaves the weapon with the same amount of rounds the pistol would have had. This may have been a late development glitch and Bungie may have decided to not fix it and instead use the glitch to their advantage as this would leave the sniper with a higher initial capacity without creating new scripts. | ||
* | *This level may include the largest grenade jump possible. The jump includes four grenades and will skip the second floor completely. A video is here: [http://www.highspeedhalo.net/?time&id=9]; the jump occurs after about 13 minutes. A video is also available on youtube: [http://youtube.com/watch?v=gpnDWLe-vG4]; the jump is at around 2:47. This jump includes 3 plasma grenades and 1 frag. Three [[plasma grenades]] are thrown near the Overshield, each one is lower than the other. Then, a frag is thrown at the ground. Grab the Overshield before jumping, so no damage occurs. | ||
*If the player pays attention while searching for Captain Keyes throughout the level, the player will find random groups of marines lying dead in the hallways of the ''Truth and Reconciliation''. This is odd considering that all the marines that were with Captain Keyes went to the brig with him and the only other marines to enter the ship were with the Master Chief.

It may also be that these Marines were captured along with Keyes and killed on the way to their holding cells, perhaps for trying to escape. | |||
*When the player is just outside the bridge after rescuing Captain Keyes, it is possible that the player can sometimes hear the Stealth Sangheili attacking and killing Sergeant Parker's squad. | *When the player is just outside the bridge after rescuing Captain Keyes, it is possible that the player can sometimes hear the Stealth Sangheili attacking and killing Sergeant Parker's squad. | ||
*The Marines that help the player find Captain Keyes on this level are "standard-programmed", which means they fire weapons in semi-automatic bursts; only shoot in short to medium range, and climb onto a Warthog's gunner seat first rather than passenger seat, if both are empty. However, the Marines the player rescues from the brig are "sniper-programmed", which means they fire weapons in full burst, fire at long-range targets (even if they're holding a short-range weapon like a Shotgun), and climb onto a Warthog's passenger seat first rather than gunner seat, if both are empty. There are also two other Marines that are sniper-programmed on the level [[Assault on the Control Room]] (the Marine Sergeants with the Sniper Rifles). Although this level has no drivable vehicles and has a lot of close-quarters combat, the Marines were most likely given this feature to protect Captain Keyes more easily (Keyes also has the sniper-programmed feature).<!--I found this out after quite a while of experimenting with various weapons and bump-possession on custom-made multiplayer maps containing AIs.--> | |||
*After clearing the entire area outside the ship, if one returns to the entrance of the second area, there is a small alcove where a Sangheili was hiding. It is covered by two thin rocks forming a ceiling. If one turns their volume up and walks in and out of the cave lightly, several different "ghost" noises can be heard including hissing, distant "birds" and wolves sounds. The bird sounds seem very similar to the [[High Charity bird|ones]] from ''[[Halo 2]]'' on ''[[High Charity]]''. This place is just one of multiple locations where these sounds can be heard on the map. | *After clearing the entire area outside the ship, if one returns to the entrance of the second area, there is a small alcove where a Sangheili was hiding.

*If the [[Stealth Elite]] manages to successfully kill at least one marine upon entering the ship, there is a possibility that a pair of [[Hunter]]s will enter through the blast doors instead of a pair of [[Jackal]]s. But if the Elite is killed before managing to kill any of the marines, the Hunters will be replaced with the said pair of Jackals. | |||

*According to ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', Master Chief was accompanied by a squad of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s. In-game, even in the ''Anniversary'' version of the level, the Master Chief is accompanied by regular Marines. However, it may be assumed that the ODSTs were wearing regular Marine BDUs as opposed to their [[ODST armor|characteristic armor]], as it appears that the distinct ODST armor had not yet been established in canon at the time the novel was written; for example, ''The Flood'' describes ODSTs using [[UNSC tactical eyepiece|eye-screens]] like regular Marines as opposed to full helmets.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''pages 58, 63''</ref> Additionally, in ''The Fall of Reach'' and ''First Strike'', ODSTs are only distinguished from regular Marines by the unit patches on their shoulders, as opposed to their conspicuously different armor as depicted in later media.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 248''</ref><ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 48''</ref> | |||
