The demo showcases basic infantry combat against two types of Covenant enemies, the [[Sangheili]] and the [[Unggoy]], in both exterior and interior settings. The [[Master Chief|John-117]] pilots a [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]] and drives a [[M12 Chaingun Warthog|Warthog]], the latter of which has a [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] on the rear turret. At certain points, the camera leaves the first-person perspective to showcase the environment. The track ''[[Truth and Reconciliation Suite]]'' plays throughout the demo.

The demo begins with the Master Chief flying a Banshee to the [[Cartographer]] island on [[Installation 04|Halo]]. After flying over the shore, he lands at the beach near the path that leads to the security substation, and climbs into a Warthog with a Marine on the gunner. The Master Chief drives the Warthog to the Cartographer facility, where the gunner fires the [[M41 Vulcan]] turret at the Covenant soldiers, including Sangheili and Unggoy. The Master Chief exits the Warthog and joins the battle with his [[MA5B assault rifle]].

After clearing the defenses, the Chief descends into the underground facility, quietly taking out an Unggoy at the shaft before fighting more Covenant deeper inside. He eventually reaches the deepest level and activates the Cartographer, which displays a three-dimensional hologram of the Cartographer facility.
