==Summary==
==Summary==
This level introduces new drivable vehicles to the player and is meant to allow a player who may be unfamiliar with the game to have some time to get a feel for the controls and physics of vehicles.
==Plot==
After successfully evacuating the upper area of the Crow's Nest base, [[John-117|John-117]] finds himself in an underground garage containing multiple [[Warthog]]s and leads a group of Marines out of an underground tunnel. He then leads the surviving marines towards the town of [[Voi]]. A [[D77H-TCI Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] drops a pair of Troop warthogs and one regular [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|M12]] (with [[M41 LAAG]]). After fighting his way down the highway, through many Covenant troops, SPARTAN-117 breaches the barrier blocking the path leading to Voi and the ancient [[Forerunner]] [[The Artifact|artifact]], buried beneath the [[Earth]]'s surface.

*On the stretch of road with the Pipe running adjacent to it, if you are in a Warthog and you stop at a certain place so that a metal, curled post is above you, your Warthog will turn black.
*Where one meets Sergeant Stacker, it is possible to find a Brute with a [[Beam Rifle]] that will not attack the player. He can be found on the Deployable Lookout Tower near the cliff. If an enemy gets too close to him however, he will start attacking.
*If you look at where the CCS-Battle Cruiser appears from the cliff after the Drone ambush, a glitch will happen where you will see the side of the cruiser before the ship actually appears.
*Sometimes, Sergeant Stacker's character model will appear instead of Sergeant Reynolds, however all scripted dialogue will remain unchanged. Oddly, even after both Sergeants are together, Reynold's voice will still come from Stacker's model, and vice-versa.

*It is possible to jump the gap in the bridge with a vehicle if you have a [[Gravity Lift]] handy. This can also be done by knocking down a barrier and pushing it around with a Warthog until it turns into a makeshift ramp, although this is slightly time consuming. An easier way to cross the gap is by bringing your Chopper as far forward as you can without falling off and then boosting.
