Halopedia has a walkthrough guide for this level; see Sierra 117/Walkthrough.

 

Sierra 117 is the first campaign level of Halo 3.

Upon completing it on the Normal, Heroic, or Legendary difficulties, the player will earn the "Landfall" achievement and 20 Gamerpoints.[1]

Setting

This level takes place in an African jungle, as confirmed via the hexadecimal code of the Halo 3 Beta and physically confirmed in the Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer and subsequent Bungie Podcasts. The jungle is home to a Covenant Loyalist encampment, and hosts lush verdant forestry, rivers, waterfalls, and tunnels.

Plot

According to the Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer, somehow the Chief arrives in this jungle at the beginning of the game and joins forces with the Arbiter and a few Marines. They progress through the area, securing landing zones for Pelican Dropships and defending them against enemy Banshees.[2] If one makes inferences based on the Halo 3 Zune Concept Art and the beta code's level names, the level will culminate at an arrival at the Halo 3 UNSC Base.

It was stated in the September 07 issue of Gamepro that the Chief would have to rescue Johnson from a downed Pelican.

Transcript

The following transcript is incomplete, but is based on incomplete resources on Sierra 117's gameplay.

  • Marine: "Sleepers! Take 'em out, nice and quiet! Jackals, on the ridge! Looks like they've got Carbines."

{Short pause as Marines move out}

  • Marine: "I hate it when I'm right!"
  • Johnson (radio): "Pelicans are en route, Chief, but I can't reach Bravo. If you find him, get him to the extraction point."

{A Brute is torturing a Marine on a log. It is optional to save him}

  • Tortured Marine (if saved): "They killed my men...killed my squad."
  • Johnson (radio): "Chief, Pelicans are at the river. We've got company, so I'll set up."

{SPARTAN-117 approaches a river where two Pelicans are trying to land}

  • First Pelican Pilot: "Break off, now!"

{Enemy Banshees begin strafing runs against Pelicans}

  • Second Pelican Pilot: "I'm hit! I'm hit!"
  • Johnson: "Can you hold?"
  • First Pelican Pilot: "Negative, negative! I'm going down!"

NEW OBJECTIVE: Locate Johnson's crashed Pelican

Trivia

  • Note that the level is called Sierra 117; Sierra is the word used in the NATO phonetic alphabet to represent the letter S, so it is S 117 which corresponds to SPARTAN-117. This has been confirmed in the second bungie podcast.
  • In the August 2007 EGM Halo 3 Story, Sierra 117 mistakenly said to be the fifth Level in the Halo 3 Campaign.[3]
