| '''Assault on the Control Room''' is a campaign level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
| |
| | |
| ==Background==
| |
| [[John-117]] must battle his ways through rooms and vast, snowy outdoor spaces filled with [[Covenant]] to reach [[Installation 04]]'s [[Control Room]]. When he reaches the Control Room, [[Cortana]] sends him off to the swamp in [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]] to discover the only thing that the Covenant fear. This is the first and only level where you will be able to not only drive a [[Scorpion Tank]], but all vehicles in Halo. It is also one of the two very long snow levels; the other being Two Betrayals, which is essentially Assault on the Control Room backwards. This is the last level before you meet [[The Flood]].

| ==Transcript==
| |
| ===Cinematic===
| |
| | |
| '''Part 01: I Would Have Been Your Daddy... '''
| |
| | |
| ''{fade in to the inside of a large [[Forerunner]] dome, pan down to a long shaft, a [[Grunt]] paces on an open platform}''
| |
| | |
| ''{close up of the walking [[Grunt]], other [[Grunt|Grunts]] around him are asleep, he stops as he hears jets, he sniffs the air, yelps as a [[Pelican]] rises up, screams and runs towards the door}''
| |
| | |
| '''Glitch'''
| |
| | |
| When your HUD comes wait for it to say "Press X to enter Pelican" and press X. Then you can ride the [[Pelican]] off the map, and eventually, the [[Pelican]] will crash and you will die.
| |
| | |
| ===Gameplay===
| |
| '''[[Foehammer|Foe Hammer]] (O.S.):''' "This is as far as I can go."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]] (O.S.):''' "Roger that, we can find our way to the [[Control Center]] from here."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Foehammer|Foe Hammer]] (O.S.):''' "Good luck, [[Foehammer|Foe Hammer]] out."
| |
| | |
| ''{the [[Pelican]] hovers at the edge of the platform, the [[Master Chief|Chief]] gets out}''
| |
| | |
| (Once you clear the first of the circular rooms)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:'''The [[Covenant]] presence here is stronger than I anticipated. They seem to have the entire region secured.
| |
| | |
| (Once you reach the first bridge)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:'''"Interesting... the weather patterns here seem natural, not artificial. I wonder if the [[Halo|ring]]'s environment systems are malfunctioning... or if the [[Forerunner|designers]] wanted the [[Halo|installation]] to have inclement weather. "
| |
| | |
| ''{a [[Pelican|Pelican Dropship]] flies over the bridge. The [[Covenant]] forces on the bridge open fire}''
| |
| [[Image:Scrn_093.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Fireteam Zulu awaits extraction.]]
| |
| | |
| '''[[Sergeant]] (O.S.):'''"This is [[Fire Team Zulu]] requesting immediate assistance from any [[UNSC]] forces. Does anyone copy?"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:'''"I didn't think there were any human forces left on this part of the [[Halo|ring]].... (O.S.) [[Cortana]] to [[Fire Team Zulu]], I read you. [[Fire Team Zulu]], this is [[Cortana]]. Hold position. We're on our way."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Sergeant]] (O.S.):'''"Roger that. Make it quick."
| |
| | |
| ''{The [[Pelican]] descends to an area below the bridge}''
| |
| | |
| (When you reach the bottom of the chasm and meet up with [[Fire Team Zulu]])
| |
| | |
| {A large number of [[Covenant]] have three [[Marine|Marines]] with an overturned [[Warthog]] cornered. A [[Covenant]] [[Wraith|Wraith tank]] fires plasma mortars as [[Shade]] turrets and [[Ghost]] vehicles strafe the [[Marine|Marines]].}
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]] 1''':"Glad you could join the party, Sir!"
| |
| | |
| (When you reach the second group of [[Marine|Marines]] fighting near the [[Scorpion]] and clear the area)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]] 1:'''"Enemy forces eliminated. The area's secure."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]] 2:'''"Aw, crap. Let's get the hell outta here, man! Somebody call the [[Pelican|dropship]]!"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Sergeant]]:'''"You stow that garbage right NOW, mister. You're a [[Marine]], so act like it, dammit! We've got a job to do."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]] (O.S.):'''"Negative, [[Fire Team Zulu|team]]. No evac available at this time. But the [[Master Chief|Chief]] and [[Cortana|I]] could use some assistance."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Sergeant]]:'''"Okay, [[Marine|Marines]]. Time to pay back the [[Master Chief|Chief]] for pulling your sorry tails out of the fire. Prepare to move out!"
| |
| (As you reach the second large open area, where one [[Wraith]] hovers on the ice and another lurks on top of the cliff at the far end of the canyon)
| |
| | |
| (There are at least three choices here-how the game chooses which one to play is unknown. It seems to be random, as a checkpoint right before this area will result in different dialogues after restarting.)
| |
| | |
| (Type 1)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]] 1:'''"Bloody hell! Enemy forces have armor support...it's time to earn our pay."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:'''"The [[Covenant]] placed their [[Wraith|tanks]] to defend the entrance to the tunnel."
| |
| | |
| (Type 2)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]]:'''"[[Wraith|Enemy mortar tanks]] sighted at my position...it's gonna be a busy day."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:'''"The [[Covenant]] placed their [[Wraith|tanks]] to defend the entrance to the tunnel."
| |
| | |
| (Type 3)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]]:'''"Dang, they got armor support! Watch out for those [[Wraith|tanks]]!"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:'''"The [[Covenant]] placed their [[Wraith|tanks]] to defend the entrance to the tunnel."
| |
| | |
| (When you've destroyed the first [[Covenant]] [[Wraith|tank]].)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]] 1:'''"Looks like that armor wasn't so tough after all! Let's mop up the rest of 'em!"
| |
| | |
| (When you reach the large interior cavern and engage the [[Covenant]] inside.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]] 2:'''"More [[Covenant]] sighted!"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]] 3:'''"Man, these guys are like cockroaches!"
| |
| | |
| (As you reach the long rock tunnel leading up from the cave system back to the surface.)
| |
| | |
| '''Part 02: Rolling Thunder'''
| |
| | |
| (As you clear the area containing the fourth [[Wraith]] of the level.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Sergeant]]:''' "You monkeys almost look like golden boys!"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]]:''' "Damn straight!"
| |
| | |
| (As you come across two [[Hunter|Hunters]] playing hell with a squad of [[Marine|Marines]], where the path switches back and goes down to a frozen river leading to the cave to the last area of the second chasm.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' "I thought the [[Covenant]] had eliminated all the [[Marine]] forces in this area."
| |
| | |
| (As a [[Covenant]] [[Spirit|dropship]] appears from behind the cliffs and drops in on the ridge you just descended from.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]] 1:''' "Anybody else hear that? Aw, man...[[Covenant]] [[Spirit|dropship]] inbound, take cover!"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]] 2:''' "The [[Covenant]] are dropping in behind us! We're trapped!"
| |
| | |
| (As you near the switchbacks leading up to final area of the second chasm.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]] 3:''' "Whoa, Sir! The [[Covenant]] are dug up in those rocks! They've got us pinned down here!"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' ''{to [[Master Chief]]}'' "We need to get up this ridge." ''(O.S.)'' "[[Marine|Marines]], hold your positions. We'll handle those guns." ''(to [[Master Chief]])'' "[[Master Chief]], we should scale the ridge and get below those [[Shade|stationary guns]]."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marine]] 3:''' "I'm in no hurry for a heroic charge on those [[Shade|guns]], [[Cortana]]. Holding position."
| |
| [[Image:Scrn_045.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Master Chief fires a rocket at a Banshee.]]
| |
| | |
| (As you reach the door leading into the cliff face.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' "[[Fire Team Zulu]]. I've sent a distress signal tagged with your current position. Hold here and await evac. The [[Master Chief]] and [[Cortana|I]] are going to continue on inside."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Sergeant]]:''' "That's affirmative! [[Fire Team Zulu]] out!"
| |
| | |
| (As you clear the final area before the third chasm.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' "Resistance appears to be increasing. We must be close to the [[Control Center]]."
| |
| | |
| (As you reach the door to the third chasm.)
| |
| | |
| '''Part 03: If I Had a Super Weapon...'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' "Analyzing. This must be the [[Control Center|Control Room]]. Subtle. The entrance to the [[Control Center|Control Room]] is at the top of that pyramid structure. Bring me up there and [[Cortana|I]] should be able to get us inside."
| |
| | |
| (As you open the door to the last leg of hallway leading to the [[Control Center]].)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' "Scanning. [[Covenant]] forces in the vicinity have been eliminated. Let's move on to [[Halo]]'s [[Control Room]]."
| |
| | |
| (As you open the door for the final cinematic.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' "This is it. [[Halo]]'s [[Control Center]]."
| |
| | |
| (The [[Master Chief]] walks through the door and to a control panel at the center of a circular glass walkway projecting into the middle of a massive open chamber. A holographic map of [[Halo]] surrounds a smaller holographic map of the system, which shows Basis and Threshold, and [[Halo]] itself between them.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' "That terminal, try there."
| |
| | |
| (The [[Master Chief]] unplugs [[Cortana]]'s chip from his helmet and places [[Cortana]]'s chip in it. A moment later, she appears above the display. Data streams out from her in all directions. Her eyes are now red.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Master Chief]]:''' "You all right?"
| |
| [[Image:Scrn_016.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Master Chief at Halo's Control Room.]]
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' "Never been better...you can't imagine the wealth of information. Knowledge...so much...so fast. It's glorious!"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Master Chief]]:''' "So...what sort of weapon is it?"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' "What are you talking about?"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Master Chief]]:''' "Let's stay focused. [[Halo]]...how do we use it against the [[Covenant]]?"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' "This [[Halo|ring]] isn't a cudgel you barbarian, it's something else...something much more important. The [[Covenant]] were right...this [[Halo|ring]]...it's [[Forerunner]]. Give me a second to access...yes, the [[Forerunner]] built this place, what they called a "fortress world," in order to...no, that can't be. Oh, those [[Covenant]] fools...they must have known, there must have been signs!"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Master Chief]]:''' "Slow down. You're losing me."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' "The [[Covenant]] found [[Flood|something]], buried in this [[Halo|ring]], something horrible, and now...they're afraid."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Master Chief]]:''' "Something buried? Where?"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' (looks horrified) "The [[Captain Keyes|Captain]], we've got to stop the [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]!"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Master Chief]]:''' "[[Captain Keyes|Keyes]]? What do we-"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' "The weapons caché he's looking for. It's not really. We can't let him get inside!"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Master Chief]]:''' "I don't understand."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' "There's no time. Get out of here, find [[Captain Keyes|Keyes]], stop him! Before it's too late!"
| |
| | |
| (The [[Master Chief]] turns and runs from the [[Control Room]].)
