| |
| '''Assault on the Control Room''' is a campaign level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
| |
| | |
| ==Background==
| |
| This level follows the Master Chief on his way to the Control Room of Halo. He only gets a handful of Marines, and has to fight a hell of a lot of Covenant, before he can get to the Control room. Unfortunately, he was dropped off a long way from the Control Room, so he'll have to get past the famous bridge, man many vehicles, and even go indoors and out, all to get the Control Room to activate it. But when you finally fight your way through the last terrible mess before [[The Flood|the Flood]], you'll find out from Cortana's mouth that Captain Keyes shook the wrong rattle, and was captured again. This time, by 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]].)
