| '''The Storm'''<ref>EGM Magazine, August 2007, page 62</ref> is the fourth [[campaign]] mission of ''[[Halo 3]]''.
| |
| Upon completing it on the [[Normal]], [[Heroic]], or [[Legendary]] difficulties, the player will earn the [[Assault (Achievement)|"Assault" achievement]] and 30 [[Gamerpoint]]s.

| ==Background==
| |
| [[Image:Anti-Air Fire.jpg|left|thumb|A [[Type-52 Anti Aircraft Artillery]] fires on a [[Hornet]].]]
| |
| | |
| It begins with a [[UNSC]] [[Warthog]] convoy moving to [[Voi]], whose objective is to punch through the [[Covenant Loyalist]] anti-aircraft defenses that surround the [[Ark]] and allow [[Lord Terrence Hood|Lord Hood's]] small fleet of ships passage to the [[Prophet of Truth|Prophet of Truth's]] fleet. [[UNSC Marine]] forces, lead by [[SPARTAN-117]] get involved in several pitched skirmishes as they must fight through the industrial zone of Voi, through warehouses and factories and having to survive ambushes by both Covenant foot soldiers and Covenant armor.
| |
| | |
| After breaking through the industrial area Master Chief met up with a brigade of approximatley 6 [[Mongoose|Mongoose ATVs]] and commandeered one with a Marine riding 'shotgun' using a [[M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher| M41 Rocket Launcher]]. They immediately engaged a squadron of [[Anti-Air Wraith]] tanks to secure a landing zone as [[Brute]]s on [[Brute Chopper]]s and [[Grunt]]s on [[Ghost]]s attack them and are constantly reinforced by [[Phantom]]s. Above them [[Hornet]]s and [[Banshee]]s dogfight for control. Though they take the landing zone the victory was short lived as a [[Scarab]] arrived to crush the UNSC forces. After disabling it by boarding it then destroying its power core the UNSC forces prepared to push into a Brute controlled warehouse.
| |
| | |
| With reinforcements lead by [[The Arbiter (character)|The Arbiter]] and [[Sergeant Johnson]] along with [[Voi Factory Workers|volunteer civilians]] from a nearby factory, they pushed in, engaging nearly a dozen [[Brutes]] armed with [[Mauler]]s and [[Brute Shot]]s, a pair of [[Hunters]] and a [[Brute Chieftain]] wielding a [[Gravity Hammer]]. After that they pressed on to the AA site, engaging a small Covenant army defending it. Eventually they punch through, disabling the gun, allowing the UNSC Navy, along with Miranda Keyes, free rein. <ref>http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3162238</ref>

| '''Cutscene''':''The Chief and the [[Arbiter]] stand atop a cliff, watching a UNSC fleet hurtle towards the storm surrounding the portal to the [[Ark]]. The Covenant fleet is above the ark, with the [[Forerunner Dreadnaught]] in the middle of the structure.''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Lord Hood]]''': All ships, fire at will!
| |
| | |
| ''The UNSC fleet charges the Covenant fleet, MAC guns blazing. The Forerunner structure begins to open like a starfish, focusing energy on the Dreadnaught, and fires off a beam of light. The screen blacks out.''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]''' (VO): This is the way the world ends.
| |
| | |
| ''Fade back in on the scene. A large glowing sphere of light has appeared in the sky. The Arbiter roars. The UNSC fleet's craft are drifting. The Forerunner Dreadnaught rises into the sphere, followed in close order by the Covenant fleet.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Lord Hood]]''': *coughs* What'd [[Truth]] just do? *coughs* Did he activate [[The Halos|the rings]]?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Miranda Keyes]]''': No, Sir. But he certainly did something.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Lord Hood]]''': Evac the wounded and regroup. Wherever Truth went---
| |
| | |
| '''[[UNSC]] officer (possibly Gunnery Sergeant [[Pete Stacker]])''': Sir, new contact slipping in.
| |
| | |
| ''A Covenant cruiser, smoking with damage and obviously [[Flood|infected]], decends nearby from slipspace and hurtles over the heads of the Chief and the Arbiter to crash nearby in [[Voi]].
| |
| | |
| '''[[The Arbiter]]''': What is it? More [[Brutes]]?
| |
| | |
| '''[[SPARTAN-117]]''': Worse.
