| '''Uprising''' is the thirteenth [[campaign]] level of ''[[Halo 2]]'', and the twelfth playable one. The level follows [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]] as he is teleported to the vicinity of the [[Control Room (Installation 05)|Control Room]], only to discover [[Jiralhanae]] treachery against [[Sangheili|his own kind]]. Whereas the next level, ''[[High Charity]]'', returns to [[John-117]] as the protagonist, the Arbiter's storyline is continued directly in ''[[The Great Journey]]''. | | <center>''Looking for [[Changing of the Guard]], the Covenant event, the Graphic Novel series [[Halo: Uprising]], or the ''[[Halo 2 Vista]]'' [[Uprising (Achievement)|achievement]]?''</center> |

| *It is possible to skip much of this level and start the next level prematurely by jumping out and around the level. A good example is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSdfTM-69sI&feature=related Here]
| |
| *This level contains several instances of the [[Halo 2 skulls|Thunderstorm skull]] not working properly. Even with the skull activated, two of the Brutes at the start of the level can still appear as Minors or Majors instead of Captains. Another example of this phenomenon affects several allied Grunts in the level ''[[Sacred Icon (level)|Sacred Icon]]''.

| ===Mistakes===
| |
| *At the start of the mission, there are stray Plasma Rifle shots seen coming from the next section. Interestingly enough, there is no weapon firing the shots. This can be seen if the player grenade jumps with the Sputnik skull activated.
| |
| *Driving a Ghost out the last door will trigger the cutscene with a Ghost in the background.
| |
| | |
| ===Easter eggs===
| |
| *There are mysterious faces in the cave's entrance and cat faces at the exit.
| |
| *Just before "Step Aside, Let the Man Through", one can find a Grunt covering his head and shaking. When approached, he will say: "Please! No hurt! Me like Elites! Brutes stinky bad bad! Me stay here and make sure no Brutes come behind mighty Arbiter! [laughs nervously]... eh?" This Grunt is known as the [[Cowardly Grunt]], and is one of the three [[Talking Grunts]].
| |
| * The eleventh terminal is a Forerunner terminal in the first area of the chapter "Fight Club" after the waterfall, before crossing the stone bridge into the armory room with both human and Covenant weapons. The terminal can be found on the wall inside the second alcove.

| | ====Symbolism==== |
| | *Due to the emphasis of the [[Elites]] now being abandoned by the [[Prophets]] and no longer having contact with them, this level is one of two levels throughout all three games to have the least bit of dialogue, the other being [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]]. |
| | *The dark, gloomy clouds in the broad day light sky emphasize that this stage marks the darkest day for the Elites, being abandoned by the Prophets, and left to be slaughtered like animals by the [[Brutes]]. |

| ===Miscellaneous=== | | ===Miscellaneous=== |
| *There was a cinematic cut from the beginning of this level in which the player would see Brutes lining up and killing Elite Councilors. | | *If you are in a Ghost and you accelerate towards the communications tower near the slopes quickly, look up and there is a Phantom going overhead. This phantom most likely is the one that carries Tartarus and Commander Keyes to Delta Halo's Control Room. |
| *Grunt allies surprisingly can be given the Rocket Launcher. The best way to do this is obtain the Thunderstorm [[Skull]] and play on Easy. Therefore the Grunts are [[Ultra Grunt|Ultras]] and can take a lot of damage. | | *There was a cinematic cut from the beginning of this level in which you would see Brutes lining up and killing Elite Councilors. |
| *At several points throughout the level, enemies will run ahead to alert groups further along. (Most notably the Brute that will run into the top of the three-leveled room and yell "Elite resistance, warn the others!") | | *Grunt allies surprisingly can be given the Rocket Launcher.

| *This level and ''[[The Great Journey]]'' are the only levels in ''Halo 2'' where a Zealot Elite appears on any difficulty. They are also the only levels where Zealots appear as allies in the whole trilogy. | | *At several points throughout the level, one or more of your enemies will run ahead to alert groups further along. (Most notably the Brute that will run into the top of the three-leveled room and yell "Elite resistance, warn the others!") |
| *When beginning the mission, go to the second rock to the north east, after that turn a little bit left to see the other wall. There is grass forming a bird head and if you look higher up there are horns, which might mean this is another devil bird like the one in ''[[Zanzibar]]''. | | *This level and [[The Great Journey (Level)|The Great Journey]] are the only levels in ''Halo 2'' where a Zealot Elite appears on any difficulty. They are also the only levels where Zealots appear as allies in the whole trilogy. |
| *This is the only level in the entire [[Halo series]] that is just a "revenge" mission. There are no orders or guidelines to follow, just settling the score with the Brutes as you make your way through the [[Forerunner]] complexes. | | *When entering the cave you could also see all types of mysterious faces, at the end by the cave if you look to the right there are cat faces. |
| *In the ''Fight Club'' part, there is a Brute with a [[M90 shotgun|Shotgun]] that, if not killed, can be seen trying out the Shotgun on the wall. | | *When beginning the mission, go to the second rock to the north east, after that turn a little bit left to see the other wall, there is grass forming a bird head and if you look more up there are horns which might mean this is another devil bird like the one in [[Zanzibar]]. |
| *After the Three-Leveled room, passed the corridor with the dead Elites (one has an Energy Sword) and Grunt bodies, the player will reach the room with the Shade turret. On the upper level, there will be a scared Grunt. If the Grunt is located at the left of the door the player comes from, there will be a Fuel Rod Gun beside him. If the Grunt is located anywhere else, the Fuel Rod Gun won't appear. | | *This is the only level in the entire [[Halo series]] that is just a "revenge" mission. There are no orders, no missions or guidelines to follow, just settling the score with the Brutes and making your way through the [[Forerunner]] complexes. |
| *It is possible (with the Thunderstorm Skull) to have up to 5 [[Sangheili Ultra|Ultra Elites]] throughout the level. Their strong energy shield and skill with the [[Energy Sword]] make them near-lethal when facing a pack of Brutes.
| | *Just before "Step Aside, Let the Man Through", you can find a Grunt covering his head and shaking. If you nudge him he will say: "Please! No hurt! Me like Elites! Brutes stinky bad bad! Me stay here and make sure no Brutes come behind mighty Arbiter! [laughs nervously]... eh?" This Grunt is known as the [[Cowardly Grunt]], and is one of the three [[Talking Grunts]]. |
| *At the end of this level, both weapons and even the 3 frag grenades found in the Jiralhanae Encampment will carry over to the final level The Great Journey. However, if you start a new level from the main menu or if you equip yourself with a Fuel Rod Gun or Rocket Launcher by the end of this level, your weapons will revert to the default Plasma Rifle and Plasma Pistol in The Great Journey. | | *In the Fight Club part, there is a Brute with a [[Shotgun]] that, if not killed, can be seen trying out the Shotgun on the wall. |
| | *In the beginning of the level, you can see sparks of blueish light streaming around of the edge of the cliff. They have a resemblance to the [[Holo-Drone]]s from when fighting [[Sesa 'Refumee]]. |
| | *The levels "[[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]]" and "Uprising" occur at the same time. |
| | *In the beginning of the level, Brute Shot can be seen shooting out from the cliff and 4 Plasma Rifle shots will be shot into the sky, hinting that Brutes are fighting and at least one Elite died. Unexpectedly, the Brutes are shooting the Elites, killing them. |
| | *One of the crates in the "Brute trophy room" is labeled ''Nerve Gas''. This leaves some to believe that the [[UNSC]] used or were planning to use biological weapons on the [[Covenant]]. |
| | *Before the end cutscene, if you are holding a Fuel Rod Gun or a Rocket Launcher, the Arbiter will be holidng it in the cutscene. This also works with a Brute Shot. |
| | *This level has the most allies of any level in Halo 2 with twelve in total. |
| | *After you have fought through countless waves of Brutes, in one of the rooms is a Grunt that is scared and is shivering in the corner by his dead comrades. |
| | *Shotguns and Rocket Launchers are the only human weapons available on this level. |
| | *The human weapon crates contain [[Marine]] helmets. |
