However, [[Cortana]], who after spending twelve hours in the control room has discovered Halo's true purpose, stops him just in time.

However, [[Cortana]], who after spending twelve hours in the control room has discovered Halo's true purpose, stops him just in time. After stealing the [[Activation Index]], she tells the Chief that Halo will wipe out all life in the galaxy, and turns the Chief against the [[343 Guilty Spark|Monitor]]. Spark sends [[Sentinel]]s to take the Spartan's head, and the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] inside his helmet. After destroying the Sentinels in the Control Room, Cortana tells the Chief to destroy three Phase Pulse Generators to buy some time, in case the Monitor finds a way to activate Halo without the index. While Cortana tries to locate the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}'s crash site, the Master Chief must hijack a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]] and set out to destroy the generators. After destroying the third pulse generator, Cortana teleports the Master Chief to a Covenant {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. | ||

*One can snipe the [[ | *Some have wondered why Cortana says things like 'sod off' and 'toady about' in the level's cinematic. The reason for this is that apparently [[Jason Jones]] wanted Cortana to have a British accent originally. This was confirmed in the ''[[Halo 3 Legendary Edition]]'' disc. In ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', Cortana says 'piss off' rather than 'sod off'. | ||
*One can snipe the [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] driver at the beginning of the level. When the [[Rock Anthem for Saving the World|soundtrack]] starts, aim at the Wraith and one will see a Sangheili. The player still can't drive the Wraith, but this trick can help favourably in Legendary. | |||
*This level is similar to the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level, ''[[Quarantine Zone (level)|Quarantine Zone]]'' as they take place at night in a snowy location, have the player fighting the Flood and Sentinels, involves the Index being stolen, and involves betrayals at the beginning or end of the level with someone who helps guide the player to the Index. | |||
*Guilty Spark' statement "''Last time you asked me if it were my choice, would I do it?''" was a mystery for 12 years until the release of ''[[Halo: Silentium]]'', which reveals that Guilty Spark was referring to a question asked by the [[IsoDidact]] before Guilty Spark was assigned to Installation 04, which was: "''Tell me [[Chakas]], if it was your choice, after all we have seen and survived... would you fire the rings?''"<ref>'''[[Halo: Silentium]]''', ''page 314''</ref> This revelation provides context for many of Guilty Spark's cryptic comments to John-117, in which he addresses the Master Chief as if they had met before and presumes the Spartan to be fully aware of protocol; it can be inferred that Spark somehow believed John to be the IsoDidact. | |||

*Due to it being the same location, you backtrack much of the area seen in the level ''[[Assault on the Control Room]]''.

You also skip the opening part of ''Assault on the Control Room'' going from where ''[[Echo 419]]'' drops you off to where you find the Marines as the location where the Marines were found is where the last Banshee is found in this level. | |||
