|
| ==Summary==
| | Upon completing it on the [[Normal]], [[Heroic]], or [[Legendary]] difficulties, the player will earn the [[The Road (Achievement)|"The Road" achievement]] and 20 [[Gamerpoint]]s. Upon earning 15,000 points in Free-For-All Metascoring, the player will earn the [[Cavalier]] Achievement and 10 Gamerpoints. This level introduces drivable vehicles to the player, and is meant to allow a player unfamiliar with the game some time to get a feel for the controls and physics of many vehicles. |
| After successfully evacuating the upper area of the Crow's Nest base, [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]] finds himself in an underground garage containing multiple [[Warthog]]s and leads a group of Marines out of an underground tunnel. He then leads the surviving marines towards the town of [[Voi]]. A [[D77H-TCI Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] drops a pair of Troop warthogs and one regular [[M12 Warthog|M12]] (with [[M41 LAAG]]). After fighting his way down the highway, through many Covenant troops, SPARTAN-117 breaches the barrier blocking the path leading to Voi and the ancient [[Forerunner]] [[Portal at Voi|artifact]], buried beneath the [[Earth]]'s surface.
| |
|
| |
|
| | ==Background== |
| | After successfully evacuating the Crow's Nest base, the Master Chief finds his way to a couple of Warthogs and leads a batch of Marines out of an underground tunnel. Once above ground, he must push through the Covenant defenses on foot and in many vehicles, trying to get to the African town of Voi. |

| | ===Full Contact Safari (By [[User:Epeu|Epeu]])=== |
| | You'll start in an underground cavern after the elevator disaster at the Crow's Nest base. When you start, walk forward a bit, turn right, and go through the door at the end. Open the large door and the far end of the room, and grab which ever Warthog you please. I always take the Troop Transport Warthog. Try playing the level twice, and see which Warthog fits you best. |
|
| |
|
| ---- | | Once your 'Hog is manned up completely, go through the door. Follow the dimly-lit path, splattering anything in your way. It's especially fun to hit the Brute running up the small hill once you're outside. Turn right up the pathway and splatter anything in your way, once again. You'll soon reach a small area manned by all sorts of Covenant. Splatter all that you can, and continue op the path to the left of the area (it slopes right). You'll get a short message from Sgt. Stacker, and you'll find another large area. Brute Choppers everywhere. Just let your turret (or people in the back) take them out. Then get out, go through the shield door, destroy its core, and head back through. |
| ''If the Chief waits for a while at the barrier:'' | |
|
| |
|
| *'''Stacker (COM)''': "Take down that barrier, Chief."
| | ===The Broken Path (By White Hawk)=== |
| ----
| | The when you meet with the marines holding off the Jiralhanae and Unggoy, A Phantom comes in and drops reinforcements. A Chieftain, a few Jump pack Jiralhanae and a few normal brutes. Once they are dead you should grab the chieftain's Fuel rod gun because a Wraith arrives. Once you take out the Wraith you can either wait on Johnson and Commander Keyes to bring in two warthogs or you can take the wraith and use it until you get to the cave. There you might want to use a Brute Chopper or the flipped M12 LRV against the back gate. Only if the two marines are alive is when you should use it. Otherwise you take a Chopper and then you drive down the second to last stretch of highway. There are two Wraiths scattered around the next area. (Three on legendary) Once you have killed the ten Choppers and the two Wraiths you can drive up the hill to get to the next area which will take you the final area. You can either drive through the first set of brutes and go to the next or you can kill them. If you're on legendary it's best to use one of the wraiths and get a marine on the turret. You can get up the steep hill and through the barriers by boosting. Once you have killed most of the Jiralhanae you can destroy the Shield barrier and then you have beaten the level. |

| | Well the base just blew up and your stuck in what seems like a basement. Don't try to walk around until you can see, you may walk into fire and die before pulling out a weapon. Walk out of the elevator and take a right to the weapons rack. Grab a battle rifle and fill it. Your secondary weapon can either be an the default assault rifle or you can grab the shotgun. We're going to take the shotgun. Turn left again and head into what seems like a garage. You have two Warthogs, a troop transport and a chaingun hog. We are going to grab the chaingun hog for firepower. Wait for your marines to mount up. Once they do start driving through the caves. |
|

|
| ''The Master Chief (and the Arbiter on co-op) leave the tunnel entrance. Two Pelicans, one of which is Kilo 23, arrives to drop off an M12 Warthog LRV and Marines. Commander Keyes, piloting Kilo 023, has Lord Hood on one of the video screens inside the cockpit. The Chief heads towards the cliffside.''
| | This little bit of the level was probably designed to help newbies learn the general physics of the Warthog. One thing I have learned from experience is that if you are flipping or only on one side, aim to that side. For example, if you are beginning to roll and are currently on your right set of wheels, stop accelerating and aim left. Although counterintuitive, this will right the Warthog four out of five times. If you are rolling a bit more violently, wait until you slow down, and then perform the above maneuver. Doing this can prevent possibly catastrophic rollovers. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Commander Keyes''': "[[Lord Hood]]? We made it."
| | Alright we're coming up on the end of the cave. You will see a bunch of grunts and Jackals assaulting some marines. Give them a hand. Aim for the left or right of the Covenant formation, then quickly turn to the opposite direction. Let's say you aimed for the left side of their formation, they will dive right. By turning right, you actually have them dive into your path. If you do this perfectly, that entire fire team just died. Come out into daylight, you will see a ridge. Gun straight for it, straight down the middle. Upon landing you find a few brutes, some grunts, and some jackals. Your first priority target is the Brute, as it can hijack your hog, and is more likely to stick you. When he is dead the grunts will panic. Have your gunner mop them up, and aim the hog at the two Jackals up near the hill. Once everything is dead, continue up hill. You will then encounter two sniper Jackals. They aren't much, but don't be belligerent. They are good shots. Because a Jackal is good at making a quick dive, chances are you won't be able to splatter them, but the turret on the back will ventilate those Jackals nicely. Continue on to another downed Phantom, the grunts should have some turrets. The best thing to do is plow the hog right into one, destroying the turret and the grunt. The gunner will be able to take out the other one. Mop up the panicking grunts. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Lord Hood (Video COM)''': "Music to my ears, Commander. What about the Ark?"
| | Next you move out into a large area with multiple squads. There will be a shade Turret, and two squads composed of grunts and brutes. Take a left and head towards the first squad. Splatter the Brute and anything else. Once they are eliminated, its time to take out the turret. Come out from behind the hill where the squad was and locate the turret. Plow straight to the hill its on, and drive full throttle into it. Although this sounds suicide, the warthog almost always wins, even on Heroic. Once they are dead move out to the other squad and let them taste the dirt. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Commander Keyes''': "Fully uncovered, sir."
| | You now move past a blockade thing into a small squad with carbine jackals. Once nothing is moving head out down the path to the Tsavo Highway. You encounter some Choppers, your gunner will get em. Wait for the drones to show up before you take out the shield, and stick the Shade when you get a chance. Head down the path to a concrete barrier. Hop out of the hog and walk across the broken bridge. Continue down the road. Take out the battle rifle, it should have 108 spare rounds plus a full clip unless you flipped. Hug to the right side of the road, and you will see some marines under fire from two grunts and a brute. Scope in and but some bullets through the heads of the grunts. Start firing at the brute. Kill his armor and destroy his brain. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Lord Hood (Video COM)''': "Then we don't have much time."
| | To the left is a huge fight between marines, grunts, and brutes. Charge into the skirmish with your battle rifle. Once you get close enough, reload your battle rifle so it has a full clip. No we kick it old school style with the shotgun. Watch out for flares, and use grenades to flush any of them out of the pipes lying around. If you get in trouble during a reload with the shotgun, switch for the battle rifle.Keep pressing on, and move towards the brutes assaulting the marine encampment. If your lucky, the Brute Specialist with the Fuel Rod Gun hasn't noticed you, just give him a pat on the back. Move up towards the marines using a combo of the battle rifle and the shotgun. When everything is dead head up to the encampment. Switch the shotgun for the sniper rifle, grab a trip mine, fill your battle rifle, and get some frag grenades. |
|
| |
|
| ''Chief observes a {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} from the cliff.''
| | A phantom shows up to ruin your party. You have a Brute with a Fuel Rod Cannon as well as a whole bunch of jump pack brutes. Use the sniper rifle if you are so inclined to, but make sure to keep at least one clip + two or three rounds. Otherwise stick to the Battle Rifle. Also, don't use any grenades that stick. When everything is dead get to the front of the encampment,and if you look up the hill off to the left, a Wraith should be headed your way. Kill it ASAP, it could take out every single marine in three shots. Hijack it, break it, and leave it. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Lord Hood (Video COM)''': "Marines? The [[Prophet of Truth]] doesn't know it yet, but he's about to get kicked right off his throne. We will take our city back. And drive our enemy into the grave they've been so happily digging. One final effort is all that remains."
| | Sgt. Johnson now shoes up and brings you two Warthogs. However, we are going to go on foot. Now walk up in the direction of where the Wraith came from. You should see some sniper platforms. Switch out for the Sniper Rifle and take them out. Now here come the Brute Choppers. Switch back to the Battle Rifle. For the most part, fire a few bursts at them to get their attention. When they attack, you can stick them. In more desperate situations, use that trip mine. When all the Choppers are dead, get the chaingun hog's attention, and take the wheel. |
|
| |
|
| ''The Pelicans fly off. The Master Chief draws his [[MA5C]] and walks to one of the Warthogs to retake Voi from the Covenant.''
| | Drive through the cave, you will see two brutes just standing around. Splatter them. Hop out and look for a Fuel Rod Cannon lying on the ground. Swap your sniper rifle for it, it has full ammo. Get in the hog and head to the hardest battle of the level. Ahead there are ten choppers, two Wraiths and two Shades. Drive around down and begin to work at the Choppers. Keep record in your head of what you have killed. Drive around the central hill, rely on your gunner to take out the Choppers. If you see one aiming for you, as much as a thirty degree adjustment will keep you safe. Once all the Choppers are dead, park your marines in a safe place. Hop out, and put two rounds at a Shade. Put your hog somewhere else and take out the other. Now get back in the hog and go to the lower Wraith. Get close, hop out, and hijack the Wraith. Leave your marines, and head up the hillside to the highway. Get on the last Wraith and hijack it. This one will become your ride. |
|
| |
|
| ''Fade to black.''
| | Get in and head down the road. When you reach the first blockade fire as fast as the Wraith can cycle. Go for total and utter chaos and destruction. Go to the left, and you can get around that first blockade. Again, fire like mad. Take out the Shade as a first priority, the Chieftain is the second priority. If he throws a powerdrain continue to fire like crazy. If you are under to much fire, make a run for it. once back in the Wraith, simply fire at an movement you see. If you think everything is dead, check your radar. If all is silent, go through the shield, and give the generator a good wack. |

| ===Glitches===
| | *Tsavo is a region of Kenya close to where the Tsavo and Athi rivers meet and was the place where the Uganda Railway passed over the Tsavo river. The bridge will not be encountered as it is on the other side of Voi. |
| {{Main|Glitches}}
| | *In an article on IGN, it is said that [[Cortana]]'s voice-over tells you about the stranded transport team. However, it is actually the voice of Miranda Keyes, whose new voice actor sounds similar to Cortana. |
| *In the beginning of level, if the player goes to where the Marine is turning on the power, there is a switch. When approached, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xdvi8SgcPk the switch will move down]. However, when the player moves away, it will go back up. The switch does not appear to do anything. | | *It is the first Halo 3 campaign mission to feature most of the usable vehicles.<ref name=IGN 8/16/07>[http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/813/813454p1.html IGN]</ref> |
| *On the stretch of road with the Pipe running adjacent to it, if you are in a Warthog and you stop at a certain place so that a metal, curled post is above you, your Warthog will turn black. | | *Tsavo means 'Place of Slaughter.' |
| *If you look at where the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} appears from the cliff after the Drone ambush, a glitch will happen where you will see the side of the cruiser before the ship actually appears. | | *The ring shaped debris is the remains of the space elevator in New Mombasa, having collapsed after New Momabsa got glassed. |
| *Sometimes, Sergeant Stacker's character model will appear instead of Sergeant Reynolds, however all scripted dialogue will remain unchanged. Oddly, even after both Sergeants are together, Reynold's voice will still come from Stacker's model, and vice-versa. However. if Stacker was killed before the players sees Stacker himself, the actual Stacker will have Stacker's character model. | | *There is a weapons stash on top of the tunnel in the first area where the Pelican drops of two Warthogs, but if you enter it, the Wraith will shoot at you from a distance. |
| *It is possible to jump the gap in the bridge with a vehicle if you have a [[Gravity Lift]] handy. However, if said vehicle is a Warthog, marines will not mount it, most likely because they were programmed to leaving it once they reached the gap. This can also be done by knocking down a barrier and pushing it around with a Warthog until it turns into a makeshift ramp, although this is slightly time consuming. An easier way to cross the gap is by bringing your Chopper as far forward as you can without falling off and then boosting. | | *Tsavo is notable in that it was the site of the most famous instance of man eating lion attacks in the late 19th century as detailed in the book "Man-Eaters of Tsavo." More than 140 workers perished in the building of the railway. The event was made into the film ''[[Wikipedia:The Ghost and the Darkness|The Ghost and the Darkness]]''. |
| *Where you meet Sergeant Stacker, it is possible to find a Brute with a [[Type-50 particle beam rifle]] that will not attack you. He can be found on the Deployable Lookout Tower near the cliff. If an enemy gets too close to him however, he will start attacking you. | | *The ''Marathon'' logo is visible on the side of the CCS-Battlecruiser that passes overhead. |
| | *You can jump over the first break of the bridge to completely bypass the Brute-infested area after the gap. There are three ways to do this: drive a Warthog over a carefully-placed [[Portable Gravity Lift|Grav Lift]], rearrange the barriers (this can be done with either a Warthog or a Brute Chopper), or boost towards the protrusion on the left side of the bridge. Jumping is especially helpful on Legendary. |
| | *Tsavo Highway is a remake of the second half of [[Outskirts (Level)]] and the first half of [[Metropolis (Level)]], where the Chief gets on a Warthog to wipe out some Covenant armor defenses throughout the level, aided by other Warthogs. He then proceeds to wipe out a heavy Covenant armor resistance on a bridge which is in-between him and his objective. |
| | *This is the only stage where the Arbiter is never seen in single player Campaign mode. This is probably because he, in Bungie canon, had been evacuated from the Crow's Nest via Landing Pad Bravo when the Brutes disarmed the bomb. |
| | *In the campaign lobby, Mission Start is labeled as "Warning: Hitchhikers may have jetpacks". However, no [[Jump Pack Brute]]s appear before Rally Point Alpha. This may also be a reference to the last chapter name in Halo 1: "Hitchhikers May Be Escaping Convicts. |
| | *If you get close to (or inside of) the crashed Phantoms you can hear snippits of the Brute's radio transmissions. |
| | *In the Broken Path, if you head into the bunker you can use the Brute's fuel rod cannon to destroy the incoming phantoms; killing many of the brutes on board and giving you cover to destroy the wraith. |
| | *If you look at where the CCS Battlecruiser appears from the cliff after the drone ambush, a glitch will happen where you will see the side of the cruiser before the ship actually appears. |
| | *There are several overturned Warthogs throughout the level. |
| | *This is the first level you can see a Wraith on in Halo 3. |
| | *In the area where you first fight the Wraith some enemies will not use their guns and only use grenades. |
| | *Sergeant Stacker will often appear at the beginning of the level instead of Sergeant Reynolds, who will appear in the area where Stacker is supposed to be. Despite this, all dialogue will remain the same. |
| | *At Bungie's Halo 3 preview event in Seattle, Washington, Tsavo Highway was shown to the groups that attended the event. |
|
| |
|
| ===Mistakes=== | | == Sources == |
| *At the beginning of the level, if you look at the medic treating the injured marine, he will occasionally move his hand as if clicking on a data pad. However, there is no data pad in his hand to click on.
| | <references/> |
| *At the end of the level, regardless of whether or not you had the destroyed the deployable lookout tower, it will appear as though it was never touched.
| |
| *In this level it is stated that the space elevator collapsed when the city was glassed, but actually it fell a day before. It could, however, be possible that the marines didn't know that and had just assumed it fell when New Mombasa was glassed.
| |
| *Occasionally, if you have Sergeant Reynolds climb into your Warthog at the beginning of the level, he will appear to be holding no weapons.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Easter eggs===
| |
| {{Main|Easter eggs}}
| |
| *The [[Halo 3 skulls#Tough Luck|Tough Luck Skull]] is found on this level.
| |
| *The two cave doors in the beginning of the level are both door number [[Seven|7]].
| |
| *The ''Marathon'' logo is visible on the hangar doors of the Covenant ''Ket''-pattern cruiser that passes overhead.
| |
| *In the [[Campaign]] lobby, Mission Start is labeled as "Warning: Hitchhikers may have jet packs". However, no [[Jump Pack Brute]]s appear before Rally Point Alpha. This is also a reference to the last chapter name in the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' level ''[[The Maw]]'': "Warning: Hitchhikers May Be Escaping Convicts."
| |
| *[[Admiral Hood]] says at the end of the level that, "one final effort is all that remains." The [[Prophet of Truth]] says this on the speakers in the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level ''[[High Charity (Level)|High Charity]]''. This is also the name of a song in the [[Halo 3 Original Soundtrack]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Miscellaneous===
| |
| *If you start this level on Rally Point Alpha, you will hear the Halo level soundtrack, "Full Circle".
| |
| *It is possible to find more Sniper Rifle ammo in the area after the destroyed bridge where you are forced to dismount. Climb the hill to the left of the area to get to the top of the structure and there is a dead Marine with a Sniper Rifle.
| |
| *Certain weapons from the previous level, such as the Fuel Rod Gun or the Gravity Hammer, will not carry over to this level. The loadout will reset to its standard loadout, the Assault Rifle and the Battle Rifle. If the player manages to bring the Plasma Rifle from the previous level, however, the loadout will carry over.
| |
| *It is possible to carry over into the beginning of the next level ''[[The Storm]]'' whatever weapons and ammo you retain from the end of this level (e.g. Sniper Rifle and Battle Rifle). Weapons can also be carried over from the previous level, though exactly the same weapon cannot be carried over to ''The Storm''. The player can still carry them over if it is a different weapon.
| |
| *This level along with ''[[The Covenant]]'' and ''[[The Storm]]'', are the only three levels in ''Halo 3'' where you can drive a [[Transport Warthog]].
| |
| *Tsavo is a region of Kenya close to where the Tsavo and Athi rivers meet and was the place where the Uganda Railway passed over the Tsavo river. The bridge will not be encountered as it is on the other side of Voi.
| |
| *It is the first ''Halo 3'' campaign mission to feature usable vehicles.<ref name="IGN 8/16/07">[http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/813/813454p1.html IGN]</ref>
| |
| *Scattered across the savannah are the remains of the [[New Mombasa Orbital Elevator]]. It collapsed after the slipspace rift created by the Prophet of Regret's ship weakened the support structure, and not by the Covenant glassing the city.
| |
| *There is a weapons cache on top of the tunnel in the first area where the [[D77H-TCI Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] drops off two [[Warthog]]s, but if you enter it, the [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]] will bombard you from a distance.
| |
| *Near the end of the level, you can see the eastern edge of [[Voi]] on the opposite side of the crater.
| |
| *This is the only level where Thel 'Vadam is never seen in single player Campaign mode. This is probably because he, in Bungie canon, had been evacuated from Crow's Nest via Landing Pad Bravo when the Brutes disarmed the bomb.
| |
| *This is the first level you can encounter {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}s and [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper|Brute Choppers]].
| |
| *At Bungie's ''Halo 3'' preview event in Seattle, Washington (Close to where Bungie Studios is actually located on the map) Tsavo Highway was first shown to the groups that attended the event's meeting.
| |
| *In the [[Halo 3 Epsilon]], no static effects were added to dialogue. It was possible to hear the complete transmissions from Stacker and ONI Recon one-eleven respectively: "We're on the Tsavo Highway, about five klicks east of Voi." and "The cruisers above the crater. They found something."
| |
| *This is the only level in ''Halo 3'' where [[John-117]] has no dialogue in the cutscenes related to the level.
| |
| *This level along with ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]'' and ''[[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]]'' are one of the only levels to not feature any Cortana moments. However, ''Halo'' does feature a [[Gravemind]] moment instead.
| |
| *After taking down the first shield generator and moving through the tunnel, there is a marine outpost with a single dead marine with a Battle Rifle. There is a fully charged [[Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifle|Plasma Rifle]] outside that is the only one unaffected by the Famine Skull.
| |
| *This, and the level ''The Covenant'' are the only levels to have Beam Rifles by default on any difficulty.
| |
| *The second chapter of the ''Halo 2'' soundtrack, Epilogue, has the name "Road to Voi", this level could be reference to the chapter, or the chapter is a hint to gamers that ''Halo 3'' will have contents that will do with the town of Voi.
| |
| *''Tsavo Highway'' was originally a longer mission, large sections were removed due to production limits.
| |
| *This level is fairly similar in concept to ''Halo 3: ODST's'' ''[[Uplift Reserve]]''.
