Hop in the drivers seat. It is very tempting to play with the pretty rocket launcher on the Warthog, but the AI drivers are criminally stupid, and the missiles aren't the easiest things in the world to aim. If you really want you can play musical weapons with the trooper and give him your Grenade Launcher. If you get Kat on the Missile Turret and him firing grenades, it makes the next section a whole lot more explosive. Keep in mind that you won't be as effective against fast, annoying infantry like Skirmishers. Since Kat can't die, though, having her on the rockets can be a great help. Drive off and approach the first [[Cheru-pattern Tyrant|Anti-Aircraft Battery]]. You're going to want to do this in sections. You can't just drive up and kill it. You can shoot it with the rocket turret from a distance,but it will consume some time and it will be hard to stop Kat or the Marine from driving you there, so only do so if you've got a friend. Start by clearing the area below the plateau. There is a [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]] and a {{Pattern|Rizvum|Revenant}}, as well as assorted ground troops, but the Grenade Launcher and Missile Turret are pretty efficient at killing enemies. The Revenant is nasty on higher difficulties, and your AI gunner may seem to think that a panicking Grunt is more worthy of death by rockets than the vehicles that can actually KILL you. Keep moving. Eventually Kat and the Marine should take out the enemies. Once the lower ground is clear, you are going to take a little risk. You could simply climb the Lookout Tower and DMR snipe the enemies at the tower, but where's the fun in that? Drive your Warthog to the overturned Ghost near the tower and park. Your gunner should fire volleys of rockets at the enemy for explosive and satisfying results. Use your DMR and Grenade Launcher to kill anything you can see. The [[Sangheili General|Elite General]] with a [[Elo'Nakada-pattern concussion rifle|Concussion Rifle]] is a priority, as he can flip the Warthog with his shots and ruin the explosive fun. Once you've taken care of those you can see, run into the AA gun. Melee the shield protecting the core (big and glowing, impossible to miss) and toss a plasma grenade in the reactor. The reactor should explode and emit a warning alarm. If it doesn't go, try again. Then, run for your life. The Gun will explode and kill you in about 10 seconds. Reach a safe distance and watch the pretty, pretty lights as the Gun goes boom.

Now you have to advance on the second AA battery and eliminate it. You'll encounter a few Jackals and Grunts before you get there, and you will learn one very important thing about the Revenant cannon in that it is VERY underpowered for being such a pain to aim. Once you see the AA battery you want to turn right and go counterclockwise around the cannon to clear. You are first going to encounter a group of three Jackals. Watch out for their overcharge shots. Demolish them with the Revenant cannon, or splatter them. Continue along the path to encounter a few Grunts and Jackals, as well as a Wraith. Quickly kill the infantry while dodging the mortar shots from the Wraith. Then, hop out of the Revenant and kill the Wraith gunner with the DMR. Sprint up to the Wraith, EMP it as necessary to be safe, then hijack it. Beat down the driver and hop into the Wraith. The Wraith is slower and less agile than the Revenant but its main gun is MUCH more powerful. Shell the AA gun. A few hits will overload the gun and blow it up. Some Covenant will be left to mop up, most likely an Elite, a Hunter pair, and a few Grunts, Jackals, and Skirmishers. Use the Wraith to blast your way through, strafing to avoid the Assault Cannons of the Hunters. A Pelican will drop off Army reinforcements to help you out, and a Phantom will drop off an Elite General and a few Grunts for the Covenant.  Once everything has met death, a [[UH-144 Falcon]] will come in with [[Jorge-052]]. Get in the jump seat with the [[M460 Automatic Grenade Launcher|Launcher]], because there's more killing to be done.
