'''Sniper Alley''' is the [[UNSC]] codename for a location on the [[Forerunner]] shield world [[Requiem]].<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]'''</ref>

The Sniper Alley location is an area on Requiem that leads to the power core for the planet's [[particle cannon]] network and the AI personality of the [[Librarian]]. [[John-117]] entered the area to neutralize the particle cannon network to allow him to reach and destroy the [[Gravity well]] holding the {{UNSCship|Infinity}} on the planet. After clearing [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]] from the area, John-117 faced [[Promethean]] forces. He managed to defeat all of them and progress within the structure and disable the network.<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''', campaign level ''[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]''</ref>

Six months later [[Covenant remnant]] forces had put up an energy source and were drawing energy from the Forerunner mechanisms within the planet. The ''Infinity'' sent in [[Fireteam Crimson]] to locate the power source and eliminate the Covenant in the area. Crimson was successful and an air strike was conducted, destroying the generator. Crimson then was extracted from the area.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''Episode 1, Chapter 2: "Sniper Alley"''</ref> Later en route to the [[Refuge]], Crimson's [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] was shot down by Covenant-run Forerunner anti-air turrets. Crimson managed to survive, clear Covenant from the location yet again, and disable the turrets. Crimson then continued to the Refuge.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''Episode 2, Chapter 4: "Pelican Down"''</ref> Despite their two defeats, the Covenant did not give up on the location and re-established a presence, secretly communicating by using a generator in Sniper Alley. Once again, Fireteam Crimson had to eliminate the Covenant at the location and destroy their target prior to extraction.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''Episode 4, Chapter 1: "Hairy Call"''</ref>

==Trivia==

*The name may be a reference to ''[[Halo 2]]'''s level [[Outskirts]], where an especially challenging section filled with [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s was dubbed by players as "Sniper Alley".

*The back of the canyon is closed off for gameplay reasons in [[Spartan Ops]].
