 ==Walkthrough==
-Don't just stand around watching Truth's dropships vanish into the distance, because a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] full of Combat Forms just landed behind you. A small group of [[Jiralhanae]] and [[Unggoy]] will appear from within the tower to engage them if you go up towards the Pelican. Alternatively, you can walk towards the door and wait for the enemies to spawn, and then flee back to cover, allowing the Covenant to combat the [[The Flood|Flood]]. Otherwise the [[The Flood|Flood]] will come streaming down to corner you on the platform, and with a only a Carbine and Plasma Pistol. Snipe any Flood in the chest with your [[Type-51 Carbine|Carbine]]. Reload whenever there's a lull in the fight. Swap your plasma pistol for whatever you find, cause its useless against the Flood. If you're lucky, you'll find a dropped [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]] with about 75 percent charge. If you stick long enough behind your cover, an Elite Combat Form with an Energy sword will charge.
+Fighting begins immediately as the level starts - a group of hostile Flood Combat Forms and a few [[Jiralhanae]] will be fighting one another directly in your path. If you have not moved and instead opted to wait for them to fight, the victorious faction (almost always the Flood) will proceed to seek you out. Swap out your [[Type-25 Plasma Pistol|Plasma Pistol]] for another weapon when possible - it is not useful against any of the enemies encountered on this level. An Elite Combat Form will usually appear with a [[Type-1 Energy Sword]], which is a good replacement. Alternatively, dual-wielded [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifles]] and [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle/Jiralhanae variant|Brute Plasma Rifles]] make for an effective combo.
-Cut down any Flood forms if you get the sword, but don't use it against the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]], as it drains the charge four times faster. Remember that only killing something will drain the sword's battery, so you can almost kill an enemy with it, finish it off with another weapon, and not drain any battery. Once the area around the downed Pelican is clear, scavenge the wreckage for grenades and a Shotgun if you can find it. If you need heavier firepower, take a [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket launcher]]. While there are no vehicles to shoot down, it might come in handy when getting rid of large groups of enemies. Your main enemies in this level are [[Flood combat form|Combat Forms]] and Brutes, with a touch of Drones,Jackals, and Grunts along the way.
+Cut down any Flood forms if you get the sword, but avoid using it against Brutes, as it will waste your charge quickly.

If you need heavier firepower, take a [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket launcher]]. While there are no vehicles to shoot down, it might come in handy when getting rid of large groups of enemies. Your main enemies in this level are [[Flood combat form|Combat Forms]] and Brutes. Drones, Grunts, and Jackals also appear.
 Anyway, the best weapons to have is a sword and shotgun. Sword for Flood, and some shotgun to teach those Brutes a fatal lesson. If you wish, you can pick up a [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System|Beam Rifle]] for later long-range work. Once you're set, head through the only door off the platform, which leads to a sloping room. Four Brutes will appear from the other side, so lob a plasma grenade and hope you've stuck one of them as you duck back behind the small wall near the entrance. Lob another, if you've got one. Hopefully, two Brutes will remain, who will be engaged by Combat Flood. Retreat back to the platform to gain some breathing room if things get hot, then charge back in and take a shotgun to anything still moving.

 Once you reach the top, you'll notice Flood and the Covenant fighting directly opposite to your position. If you're playing on Normal difficulty levels,then feel free to just run right across the platform to the other side, and you'll be done with the level. If you're on Legendary, then you have to be the last survivor in order for you to be able to finish, unless you are very lucky.
+==Notes==
+*Though Cortana will constantly urge the player to reach the end of the mission, there is in fact no timer, and the player can take as much time as he/she wants. Thus, it is better to pace oneself than to rush.
+*It is sometimes (but not always) a good strategy to simply hide at the start of every new area and wait for the Flood and Covenant forces to finish one another off, then picking off or evading the survivors as you travel through. For certain areas however, such as the large room with shards of glass, it is often better to continue before the Flood and Covenant finish fighting one another, as an undistracted group of Flood or Covenant can be a dangerous and cohesive force.
