'''343 Guilty Spark''' is a campaign level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. This is the first time we see the [[Flood]]. It is also the first level you'll use the [[shotgun]], the last level where you will be aided by [[Marines]], and the only level where you fight Covenant enemies without fighting [[Elites]].
{{Article quote|Creep through a swamp to meet the only enemy the Covenant fear.}}


Compared to the previous levels, this level is very dark, dank, and creepy, and if this is your first time playing, you'll find yourself becoming very jumpy as you go, unless you've got nerves of steel. The first chapter of the level is set in a rainforest, and the second chapter, "The Flood" is set in the main [[Alpha Halo]] Flood containment center. There is a [[Covenant]] group protecting the complex that is massacred once the Flood are unleashed, and some survivors of the Marine force that accidentally released the Flood by opening the door the Covenant worked so hard to close down. All members of the advance party of Marines (with the exception of [[Sgt. Johnson]]) became Flood including [[Private]] [[Manuel Mendoza |Mendoza]] and [[Private First Class]] [[Wallace A. Jenkins]].
'''343 Guilty Spark''' is the sixth [[campaign]] level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.  


== Flood Spotting Guide ==
In the swamps near a [[Flood containment facility]] on the surface of Installation 04, John-117 is dropped from ''[[Echo 419]]'' to search for [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] who has been out of contact for over 12 hours. Soon, the Master Chief stumbles upon a structure and ventures within it, only to find out that the Marines accompanying the Captain have been slaughtered by [[Flood|an unknown force]]. After realizing the fate of the Marines, John fights his way out to the swamp and encounters [[343 Guilty Spark|a questionable ally]].


This is a guide to all the shadowed Flood seen when you are on the log bridge.
==Transcript==
===Well Enough Alone===
[[File:HCEA 343 Guilty Spark Intro.jpg|thumb|300px|''[[Echo 419]]'' arrives at the swamp.]]


*On the border hill, a Grunt seems to be falling down.
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLRoDjCxe4I '''{''Original Cutscene''}''']
*On the swamp beside you, there is a Flood down there as well. You could chase it but it would disappear.
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQr3XigwVE8 '''{Anniversary ''Cutscene''}''']
*A Flood runs around a tree on the border hill.
*A pair of Flood runs around a tree on the border hill.


=== Hints to Spotting===
''View flies over a group of [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Unggoy]] running through a swamp, panicky and obviously in retreat. As it pans over them, the outline of a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship]] can be seen through the fog and rain, which further materializes as the view draws closer.''


*The Flood Forms look like normal Elites, however, zoom with your pistol and see that they look like the Flood.
*'''Flight Captain [[Carol Rawley]] (COM)''': "The last transmission from the Captain's dropship was from this area. That was over twelve hours ago."


*The Flood Combat Form #2 is creepy compared to the other forms.
'''''NOTE''': In the Anniversary subtitles, Rawley adds, "...and we've been unable to reestablish contact with the Captain or his team."''


*The Falling Grunt (#1) could be a [[Carrier Form]] however [[Carrier Form]]s are not encountered here until l [[The Library (Level)]]
'''{''Gameplay''}'''


== Usable Weapons ==
*'''Rawley (COM)''': "When you locate Captain Keyes, radio in, and I'll come pick you up."


*[[Pistol]]
''In certain parts of the level, the player can hear a radio transmission coming from a crashed human dropship and a [[Covenant comm node|Covenant communications terminal]]. As it repeats, static pervades the transmission, and the signal fades in and out of clarity.''

*[[Shotgun]]
*[[Frag Grenade]]
*[[Plasma Pistol]]

*[[Needler]]
*[[Plasma Grenade]]
*[[Shade]]


*'''Dropship [[Victor 933]]'s Pilot (Recording)''': "Dropship [[Victor 933]]-(static)-''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]''-(static)-need assistance. We are under att-(static)-attack by some new kind of hostile-(static)-isn't [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. (Static) Captain Keyes has been captured by hostiles. (static) -dug in at a large structure in a swamp-(static)-We need to pull out. Please-(static)-I will set this message to repeat at-(static)-regular intervals. Dropship Victor 933, clear."


''John-117 quickly finds the crashed dropship sending the message. There are weapons and supplies piled nearby, but no signs of life.  An explosion in the distance throws the bodies of an Unggoy and a Kig-Yar through the air.  He heads off to investigate and finds a crashed Covenant [[Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit]].''


== Vehicles Encountered, but Undrivable ==
''The Chief also encounters a small group of Unggoy and Kig-Yar, which he quickly eliminates, before crossing a log bridge. As he moves across the bridge, he sees several [[Flood combat form|shadowy figures]] running around on the top of the cliff to the right. Also, his [[motion tracker]] shows seemingly friendly units in the swamp not too far from his location, but they suddenly disappear off radar.''


*[[Pelican]]
''When he reaches the other side, he hears [[MA5B assault rifle|assault rifle]] fire nearby. He investigates and sees a mob of Unggoy and Kig-Yar fleeing from a large entrance. A [[M9 fragmentation grenade|frag grenade]] explosion throws a [[Mamua'uda-pattern Shade|Shade]] turret through the air. The fleeing Covenant regroup nearby and attack him out of fear.''
*[[Spirit]]


== Transcript ==
''John-117 kills the Covenant and hurries to the entrance, but finds no one there. A lift arrives for him. He takes the lift down into the depths of the structure.''


=== Part 01: Well Enough Alone ===
''John-117 passes through several large rooms and many smaller ones inside the structure, filled with Unggoy, Kig-Yar, empty Shade turrets, discarded weapons, and dead bodies - both Marine and Covenant.  Curiously there is no sign of any [[Sangheili]], alive or dead. In some rooms, Kig-Yar and Unggoy gather at the doorways as if expecting an attack. In one room, the Chief discovers a strange green-yellow substance falling from the ceiling.''


''(Opening cinematic-Camera flies over a group of [[Jackal|Jackals]] and [[Grunt|Grunts]] running through a swamp, panicky and obviously in retreat. As it pans over them, you see through the fog and rain the outline of a [[Pelican|dropship]], which further materializes as the camera draws closer)''

''As the Chief comes into an area blasted with gunfire and scorch marks, there is the sound of shattering glass. A lone Marine sits leaning against a wall, [[M6D magnum]] pointed at him. The Marine shoots at the Spartan if the Chief comes too close, while screaming at the top of his lungs the following phrases. He also fiddles around with his pistol a lot, checking to see if the magazine is full.''


''(In certain parts of the level, you can hear a radio transmission coming from a crashed human [[Pelican|dropship]] and a [[Uplink Crate|Covenant communications terminal]].

*''(sobbing)'' "Monsters... Ahhhhhh! Ahhhhaaahhh..."


''(The [[Master Chief]] approaches the door cautiously. At a noise, he turns around, gun ready to shoot anything around him. After a moment, he turns back to the door, places his gun on his shoulder, and opens the door. When it opens, a dead [[Marine]] falls into his arms. The [[Master Chief|Chief]] advances a few paces, places the body on the floor gently, and sweeps his [[Assault Rifle]] about the room. He notices a helmet lying on the floor, and, crouching, moves swiftly towards it. Once he's there, he surveys the room one more time, places his [[Assault Rifle|rifle]] on the floor, and picks up the helmet. The name [[Private Wallace Jenkins|JENKINS]] is stamped across it. There is a large, jagged hole punched through the top of it. The [[Master Chief]] shakes his head, and removes a [[Recorder Chip]] from inside the [[Helmet Recorder]], near the HUD, and inserts the chip into a socket in his helmet)''

''John-117 leaves him, and makes his way into the room, which is covered in dead Covenant bodies, blood, bullet holes and plasma scoring.  Some areas of the floor are blackened with blasts from explosions. In some areas, small flecks of a greenish substance are found on the floor.  The Chief finds a partially shattered walkway and ascends to the second floor. An assault rifle lies on the ground, pointing like an arrow towards the entrance of a room marked with ominous red Forerunner glyphs. The door appears to have been forced open. The Chief goes in, passes a dead Marine, and walks down a ramp.''

'''[[Private Manuel Mendoza|Private Mendoza]]:''' Hey... if the [[Covenant]] wanna wipe out this particular part of my history, that's fine by me.
''John-117 approaches the door cautiously and listens for any movement inside. Just as he is about to type a command into the spoofer, there is a noise behind him. He turns around, gun ready to shoot, but sees nothing. After a moment, he turns back to the door, places his gun on his shoulder and opens the door. When it opens, the body of a Marine falls into his arms. He advances a few paces, places the body on the floor gently while making sure nobody follows him through. He sweeps his assault rifle about the room.''


'''[[Private Bisenti]]:''' Yeah... better it than us.  
''The floor is covered in [[human]] [[blood]]. Discarded UNSC weapons litter the floor. John-117 also notices a helmet lying on the floor, and, crouching, moves swiftly towards it. Once there, he surveys the room one more time, places his rifle on the floor, and picks up the helmet. The name "JENKINS" is stamped across it. There is a large, jagged hole punched through the top of it. The Master Chief shakes his head. He then examines the helmet more closely and notices that the [[helmet recorder]], near the [[Heads-up display]], is still intact. He retrieves the [[M4 field disk]] and inserts it into a socket in his helmet.''

==Legendary Walkthroughs==
*'''Johnson''': "Let 'em have it!"


{{Done by '''[http://halosm.bungie.org/tipsntricks/legwalk/ Asmodeus]'''}}
''The Marines and Captain Keyes open fire, to little effect. Pod infectors swarm them with overwhelming numbers.''


Well, things are really starting to heat up now. Cortana has access to Halo's computer systems and she's totally flipping out. Looks like you have to go save Keyes' sorry butt again before he, uh... well you don't really know what he's going to do, but Cortana seems to think it's really bad. This level is considerably shorter and easier than Assault on the Control Room so relax. And it introduces you to new enemies and a new weapon to play with.
*'''Keyes''': "Sergeant, we're surrounded!"


===Part 01: Well Enough Alone===
*'''Johnson''': "God ''dammit'', Jenkins! Fire your weapon!"
Walk straight ahead and a downed Pelican will loom out of the fog. That's the third busted Pelican in as many levels. Makes you a little more grateful to have FoeHammer as your pilot, doesn't it? Anyway, move ahead and behind the dropship you'll find a stash of ammunition and health packs. The green boxes are full of shotgun shells and two shotguns are behind a rock (On legendary you cannot get a shotgun until much later in the level). Fill up your assault rifle, switch to your pistol, and move ahead. A few grunts and jackals will wandering around up ahead, so find some cover near them and zoom in. Pick them off with the pistol then switch to the assault rifle if they get too close. The jackals will tend to hang back so finish off the grunts first. Then you can either hang back as well and snipe them with the pistol or run in and waste them with grenades and the assault rifle. Since there are three health packs by the downed Pelican, feel free to grab one now.


Switch out your assault rifle for a plasma pistol. There's one or two lying on the path ahead with 100% charge. You don't find one of those every day. Moving along, another downed dropship will come into view, only this one is a Covenant ship. There may be a couple of jackals hanging out near here, but after a few charged plasma shots, they'll retreat. Don't follow. Get directly in front of the Covenant dropship and look up at it. There's a path to the left of it that goes around the tree it's propped up against. Walk up the hill and take the path around. Keep turning right and trying to walk up higher on the hill and you'll see a huge fallen tree stretching across a depression. Continue around and you'll end up behind and much higher than a group of jackals. Zoom in and gun down a few with the pistol. Once they get their bearings and start to shoot back, send off a few charged shots then retreat. Walk back the way you came to the Covenant dropship and continue on the normal way. Now some of the surviving jackals may have their backs turned and should be easy prey. Zoom in and shoot off a few rounds, then switch to charged plasma shots until you have to retreat. Go back and forth and attack them from both positions until they're all dead. Now you can go back and grab the second health pack.
*'''Mendoza''': "There are too many, Sarge!"


Hop up onto the log and walk across. Hey, wait. What are those yellow blips on your motion tracker? Never mind, they're probably nothing. While you're walking across, stop for a second and turn right. See that pipe? There's an active camouflage just to the left of it hidden back in some bushes. You'll be wanting to save that for later.
*'''Johnson''': "Don't even ''think'' about it, Marine!"


At the end of the log, hop up onto the ridge and get into the Shade on the right. Aim for the lit area in front of the tunnel. A whole boatload of grunts and jackals will come pouring out of here, apparently getting their butts kicked by marines. Carpet the area with plasma as they flee. Keep shooting and aim for any gaps in the trees. Eventually these guys will notice you're a sitting duck and start firing back. That would be a good time to get out and duck back behind the ridge. Toss a couple of grenades towards the bad guys then go grab that active camouflage. It's a little hard to get to the alcove where it's hidden. Look for a little ridge that leads up to the left. Once you have it, get back to where the Covenant are gathered. Just start beating them down. Hit them from behind, of course, and try to finish off all the jackals before you become visible. Any leftover Covenant should be no problem. Grab one of their plasma pistols if you're running low and go back for health pack #3 if you're not already maxed out. Move into the structure and hit the switch to ride the elevator down.
''As the chaotic firefight continues, Mendoza dashes for the exit, abandoning his fireteam.''


There's a whole pile of Covenant in this next room, but they're all packed in the doorway and won't be able to see you when you arrive. Run behind one of the energy shields and take a look. They're just sitting there, waiting to die. Bounce a grenade or two into the middle of the group. Open fire with the plasma pistol after they go off. Mop up any survivors that stay in the room, but don't pursue any that leave. There should be a ton of plasma pistols lying around from the explosion and were going to use up as many as necessary. Charge up your pistol, open the door ahead, and nail the nearest jackal. Fire off a few more shots if you can then duck back under cover. Just keep peeking in and hosing down the area with plasma until all of the jackals are toast. Now all of those jackals have littered the next area with plasma pistols, so we get to do it all over again.
*'''Mendoza''': "Yo, this is loco!"


Take a look around the room. There are two levels to the place. The exit is on the lower level on your right. The remaining Covenant should be clustered around this door. Stay on the upper level and move up against the right wall. Look down on the enemies below. There should be a pillar coming out of the wall on the right at the edge of the ledge. It's just perfect size for you to hide behind. Peek out and start sending charged plasma shots into the group of Covenant. Once you empty a plasma pistol, go back and grab another. Once the number of Covenant down there has dwindled considerably, you can find the fullest plasma pistol and hop down to finish off the rest in person. Here's yet another pile of plasma pistols for you to use in your next battle. There's also a health pack on the far side of the room somewhat hidden behind the large pile of Covenant boxes. You shouldn't need it now, and you'll be coming back later, so leave it.
*'''Keyes''': "Get back here, Marine! ''That's an order!''"


The door ahead leads to a square hallway that leads to the next big room. There are five jackals guarding the exit to this room on your left. Toss a grenade or two into the mix and start sending charged plasma shots over to soften them up. Retreat into the doorway to recharge and keep sending charged plasmas shots in until they've been taken care of. Go back whenever you need to pick up another pistol or grenades. Run in and finish off the last one with a couple of punches to the face if he's being annoying. Once these guys are dead, you can relax. You won't have to fight anything for a while.
''The Marine squad is overtaken, still firing, while their blood sprays as Pod infectors continue to crawl onto them. Another group of infectors drop from the ceiling, right between Johnson, Keyes and Jenkins.''


The next square hall leads you to... an empty room. Creepy. One thing to note is that there are several needlers lying on the ground to the right between the two Shades. And there are clips of needles lying there too. This is one of two places (both on this level) where you can see needler clips. They are nowhere else in the game. Hmm... maybe Bungie is trying to tell us something. While needlers are very useful for some of the battles ahead of you, I wouldn't pick one up now. To get out of here, you have to jump on the short platform above the needlers and go through the door.
*'''Johnson''': "Jenkins!"


Another square hallway leads to a room where some serious combat took place. The crazed marine here still gives me the willies. I hate to say it, but you should put him out of his misery. He's got ammunition for the pistol, which is scarce on this level. Plus, he's just going to get his insides scrambled by some... uh, never mind. You haven't gotten there yet. Head to the back of the room and jump up on the rubble to get to the upper level. Exit through the door above the one you used to enter.
''Several infectors attack Jenkins, blocking out his helmet cam. The screen cuts to black.''


After another hall you'll be on the upper level of the room with the needlers. Hit the switch to activate the light bridge. Move across and look for an assault rifle on the ground. It should be right in front of the door. Pick it up and ditch your plasma pistol. Reload it and head through the door.  
<tt>'''> UNEXPECTED HALT X <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Wounded in action|WND]]/INCAP/[[Killed in action|KIA]]? Ref.a4 3d.3]'''</tt>


Look around this room and you'll find two ramps down to the lower level. The one on the left has two health packs and some ammo. Don't grab the health unless you really need to. You shouldn't be too badly injured. You've hardly fought anything yet. Go down a ramp and walk up to the door to trigger a cutscene.
<tt>'''> END RECORD VIEW [2552.5.27.6:39:23 L]'''</tt>


===Part 02: The Flood===
''John-117 removes the chip from his helmet, shakes his head, and tosses the chip to the ground. The noises begin again. He readies his assault rifle.''
Look around the room. There are four groups of enemies that are going to attack in succession. Each group seems to be triggered by killing off a large fraction of the previous group. The first will come out of the door directly in front of you across the room. The second group will come out of the door nearby on your right. The third group will be coming out of the far door on the left. The last group comes out of the door you used to enter this room. And on your left you'll find a bunch of assault rifle ammo as well as pistol ammo. Move over this ammo and fill up. Then head to the back of the room and get out your assault rifle for the first group of Flood. As the door bursts open, start firing. These guys are the infection form of the Flood. You can just let small numbers pop themselves on your shield or smack them with your melee attack, but large numbers can be a problem. If one of these guys hits you while your shield is down, he will eat you alive, literally. So empty a full clip at least on them then head to the next door. Once you're in front of the next door you can fire off a few rounds at any stragglers from the first group or smack them if they jump at you. Once the door starts to give way though, turn back towards it and open fire on this group as soon as you can. Again empty a full clip at least then move to the next door. Once you've got the next door covered, pop any wandering Flood nearby until the door starts to open. Burn through another couple of clips until almost all the little guys are gone. Don't worry about gunning down the last few. Get to the final door. Remember it's the one you came in through. More infection Flood will be coming in along with their big brothers, the Flood Combat Form. Again you can take a second to off any leftover infection Flood until you hear the ominous thud of the door being bashed open. Drop a plasma grenade right in front of the door and back up. Plasma grenades are not normally good to use against the Flood because the Flood are faster then you. Most of the time, you'll end up sticking a grenade to a Flood who will promptly run right up in your face and explode. They work well though when you drop them on the floor as you're retreating. The Flood will run right over them as they explode. So drop one for these guys as they enter the room and open fire. It should take out almost all of the infection Flood leaving the combat Flood for you to deal with. The key to dealing with combat forms is to keep moving, preferably backwards while shooting at them. So basically you want to keep circling the room backwards shooting at anything you can. Don't get too close to the wall or you may get pushed into a corner. That would be bad. Circling the two raised areas in the middle of the room seems to work well. Use the assault rifle against multiple targets and at close range. The pistol works better against a single target at medium to long range. Just keep pouring on the hurt until they all go down, get back up, and go down again. Whew. Your first battle with the Flood is over. Go fill up on ammo.  


Step through the door and look up one of the ramps. There is another group of Flood up there so fire off a few shots to get their attention then retreat into the room. If you're really low on health, grab one of the health packs before setting them off. Drop a plasma grenade in the doorway as you're retreating and then open fire when you see the combat Flood coming in. There aren't as many in this group. A few clips from the assault rifle should do it. Fill up again after the battle. Head up one of the ramps and grab a health pack, even if you don't really need it.
===The Flood===
'''{''Gameplay''}'''


Moving along you'll see a bunch of Covenant and Flood duking it out. Ignore these guys for now. Stay on the upper level and exit through the door on the right. After another hall you'll end up in a room full of Flood. Head to the right or left and back yourself up into a corner. Normally this would be a suicidal tactic against the Flood, but I got a plan. Fire off a few dozen assault rifle rounds at the ground below to get the attention of everything in the room. Snipe at any Flood that jump up to the upper level with your pistol then switch to the assault rifle when they get too close. You can move around a bit, but try to stay near the corner. Once the upper level is clear, get back into the corner and face the middle of the room. The Flood on the lower level will be mindlessly trying to get to you, so they should be right below you in a big pile. Look for them congregating on your motion tracker. In front of you is a pillar, but in between the very corner of the walkway you're on and the pillar is a little gap, just big enough for a grenade. Toss one (either kind will work) through the little gap and it should drop down into their midst. A few seconds later, BOOM, all the Flood die in a messy explosion. If you can still hear a lot of Flood moving around down there, drop another. Maybe try a different kind. Follow it down and clean up any survivors. Leave through the door below the one you used to enter and follow the hall back to the previous room.
''The door John-117 came through is now locked. Three doors holding dozens of Pod infectors break open one at a time, their inhabitants attacking him.''


The battle between the Flood and the Covenant should be dying down by now. Peek in and gun down anything nearby with the pistol then retreat into the doorway. Hose down anybody who comes in after you with the assault rifle. Drop a grenade in the doorway if it looks like a whole lot of Flood are coming at once. Repeat until the room has been cleansed of enemies. The Shade in here works well against Flood, but I'd only recommend using it once the number of enemies is very small. Now you can go back the way you came through the gore-spattered hall then through the door on the right.
''The entrance breaks open. Massive amounts of infectors skitter inside, followed by unarmed Sangheili combat forms.''


The next room has both Flood and Covenant again. Wait around in the doorway for a moment and they should notice each other and start fighting. Once they're finished you can take out a Flood or two with the pistol then retreat into the hall and whip out your assault rifle. Mow down anything that shows its ugly mug. Drop a grenade if things get really nasty. Keep popping in and sniping with the pistol then falling back and tearing through pursuers with the assault rifle until there are no more Flood around. Move into the room now and look for stragglers. After you're through down here, you'll have to get back to the upper level. To get up there you have to jump on the Covenant boxes in the corner. Behind these boxes is a health pack (unless you picked it up earlier) so grab it if you need it. After you jump up look around the upper deck and kill off any jackals or grunts that may be hiding up here. There's a door open right next to where the Covenant were, but we don't want to go there yet. That is the way ahead, but we have some more Flood to kill. You can peek in here and snag some assault rifle ammo though if you're running low. We want to go directly across from this door to the other side of the room. Hit the switch and walk across the light bridge.  
''John-117 escapes the facility, encountering Flood forms and some Covenant infantry struggling to survive.''


Now you're back at the elevator you used to get down here. Maybe you can ride it back up. You can use the same strategy here you've been using. Peek in and get their attention by gunning down a few with the pistol then fall back and drop a grenade in their path. Waste any survivors with the assault rifle. Repeat until the room is clear. Move in and hit the switch to activate the elevator. Aww, sad. It's broken. I guess you'll have to find another ride up.  
[[File:Scrn 036.jpg|thumb|250px|John is about to be attacked by [[Pod infector]]s that broke quarantine in the containment facility.]]


Go back into the previous room and through the door on the far side. Here you can finally grab yourself a shotgu... oh wait. This is Legendary. No shotgun for you! That would make things too easy. There is an awful lot of ammo here though and two health packs so fill up.  
''John-117 tries to take the elevator he entered with, but while he waits for it to come down, it suddenly falls down and crashes down to the bottom of the facility.''


After a little hall and an empty room with a cool light, you'll come to another elevator. Maybe this one will take you out of this hellhole. You know what to do. Peek in and snipe at one with the pistol. Fall back and drop a grenade if a whole swarm comes after you. Blow away the rest with your assault rifle. Once the room is clear, go back and fill up then hop on the elevator and ride it... down. You'll get a checkpoint as you're riding the elevator. Save and quit when you hit it. This is always a good idea when you know you won't have to go back, but it may come in especially useful here.  
''After some fighting, John-117 arrives at another elevator, but it goes deeper underground and Unggoy blood is seen painted on the elevator's shaft. At the bottom of the shaft, he's attacked by armed combat forms - both infected Sangheili and humans. This detour forces him to fight his way back up.''


Crap. Well it looks like you're just going deeper down into this little nightmare. But wait. It gets worse. While you've been riding the elevator, they've been learning how to use guns. And you get your first peek of Flood-infected marines. Recognize anybody? This room can be pretty tough. Turn on your flashlight while you're riding down and get your pistol ready. As soon as you land run out and gun down the nearest Flood. Keep moving and finding new targets quickly. Go for the guys with the assault rifles if you have a choice. They can really hurt. Keep shooting until you empty your pistol clip then switch quickly to your assault rifle so you can keep firing. There are usually only four armed combat Flood in here, but it seems like more. After a great deal of shooting, the room will be yours. Hop up on the big pile of Covenant boxes and grab the over shield.  
''John-117 eventually sees two (three on Easy/Normal difficulty) Marines armed with [[M90 shotgun|shotguns]] and assault rifles fighting the Flood.''


There are a couple of marines in this next room, but they are most certainly going to die within seconds. So don't bother trying to save them. Grab one of the active camouflages and hose down any Flood on your side of the upper level. Spraying bullets while invisible pretty much negates the stealth factor, so expect to get smacked around a bit. Switch to the pistol and gun down any on the other side. Stay on the upper level and shoot at the Flood down below. They tend to cluster beneath you, so while you're still invisible try to throw grenades down at any groups. Once your active camouflage wears off, they'll be less likely to sit around while you toss grenades at them. So once you're visible, just keep moving around and trying to find spots where you can shoot down at the Flood with your pistol. Once you've taken most of them out, grab the second active camouflage and drop down to finish off survivors. Just mow them all down as usual.
''Although their weapons give them a distinct advantage, a single Pod infector or a single combat form attack can kill them.''


Now you may retrieve the almighty shotgun. It's not always here, but often one of the marines or one of the Flood will be carrying it. Comb the room looking for it. If you find one, ditch your assault rifle in favor of it. It's the ultimate Flood-killing machine. Just make sure to keep it full of shells. Reload as often as possible. If you can't find the shotgun, I'd suggest reverting to your saved game on the elevator. This is why it's good to save your game there. Exit through the blood-spattered door that's been torn to pieces.
''If they survive, they hold their position inside the room, saying the following in random order:''


This next hallway has a few Flood hiding in rooms on either side. Put that shotgun to work. You should wait until they're relatively close, but be careful. If they hit you as you're firing, you'll waste the shot. And when in doubt, shoot them again.
*"This is suicide (man)!"


The next room is pretty standard. There's more pistol ammo in the back next to a health pack, so use up those rounds. Shotgun anybody who gets too close. Clear out the lower level first then move around looking for a good view of the Flood on the upper level. Take them out with the pistol. Once you're tired of sniping at them head to the back of the room. Jump up on the flaming pile of rubble and grab the pistol ammo and the health pack. Run up and blast any remaining Flood with the shotgun. Leave through the open door on the upper level.
*"I'm gone, man!"


The next hall should be empty. It leads to the upper level of the room you were in before. Things should be quiet around here unless you missed a Flood earlier. Head straight across to exit. This next hall may have a Flood or two. Nothing you can't handle. Keep on moving.
*"I'm not sticking around to get killed!"


Enter the next room and head straight for one of the corners. You remember this trick. Shotgun any Flood on the upper level as they get close using the pillar for cover. By now everybody on the lower level is clustered beneath you. So back up into the corner, face the middle of the room and toss a grenade into that little gap between the walkway and the pillar. If you still hear lots of commotion, drop another or a different kind. Drop down and blow away any survivors. Exit through the door on the lower level that's been ripped open.
*"We/I can't stop them!"


Peek into this next room and blast somebody with either weapon. As the Flood on the lower level run at you, give each one a shotgun shell to the face. Note: Shotgun blasts are more effective to the chest than head. Combat Forms can survive without heads arms, or legs. Back up to recharge and repeat if you need to. Now you're free to move into the room and take potshots at any Flood on the upper levels with your pistol. Try to finish most of them off. To the left of the door you came in through is an unlocked door. It's the one on the little platform. Through this door is a bunch of Flood and not much else, so taking them out isn't necessary. It's a lot of fun though, so run in and clean house with your shotgun.
*"Forget this!"


The way ahead is directly across the room from the door you came in through. So after you're through blasting all the Flood in the area, go there. You'll know you're headed the right way if you run into a bunch of Flood in this hall. Shotgun shells for the lot of them. Don't worry about conserving ammo. You're about to get a lot more.
*"Later, dude!"


Once you're through in the hall, peek into the next room. This should be pretty easy for you by now. Run in and clear out the lower level with some crazy shotgun action. The upper floor can be taken out a number of ways. You can stay down below and snipe with the pistol or you can jump up there and finish them off with the shotgun. To get up you have to jump on the bloody fallen pillar. It's a tough jump, but you can do it. On this pillar you'll find a health pack, which you can feel free to grab, and a ton of needler and shotgun ammo. Here's the other spot where you can find needler clips. Ignore these until you've finished cleaning out the upper level. Once you have the room under control, switch out your pistol for a needler. Fill up on everything and get your shotgun ready. There are two exits from this room, not counting the way you came in. They're both on the same side, one on top of the other. Let's take the one on the upper floor first.
*"I've had enough of this crap!"


This next hall is empty and leads you to another platform with a switch for a bridge. Don't hit the switch. Shotgun any Flood on your side and use the needler on the Flood on the other side. Spend the rest of your needles on any Flood down below. Now we get to go back and clean out the lower level. Exit the way you came and go back through the hall. Now you should be back in the room with all the needler and shotgun ammo. Fill up then go through the door on the lower level below the one you just came back through.
*"I'm outta here!"


This hall is not empty. Keep your shotgun up and spend as many shells as you want. There's plenty around. Take out one side completely then the other. Once the hall is yours, move into the room ahead. The upper floor should be clear, so just run out and put a shotgun shell into each of the Flood. Keep moving and these guys will go down easy. Now that everything's been cleared out, you can move back up to extend the bridge. Head back the way you came and hop up onto the bloody pillar. Fill up one last time. Head out the door on the upper level again.
''John-117 reaches the final elevator and rises to an exit from the structure.''


Now you can extend the bridge. A whole mess o' Flood is about to come pouring through the door on the other side of the bridge and you've got two ways to deal with them. You can hang back and use the needler long-range. This works well and allows you to find cover if necessary. It also allows you to turn the bridge off if they start to pour across in droves. Remember you can turn the bridges back off. Or you could run across as fast as possible and take them all out with the shotgun and grenades. This works well, but is obviously a little riskier. If you choose the more aggressive route, just keep tossing grenades in the doorway and blasting away with the shotgun. Once they stop coming, take a deep breath. You're almost done with this level. If you want to be extra careful, you can go back and switch out your needler for a pistol. Either pick up the one you dropped earlier or look for one amongst the bodies. Otherwise move into the room ahead and check around to make sure everybody's totally dead. Don't worry about filling up down here. Just ride the elevator.
*'''Rawley (COM)''': "This is ''Echo 419''. Chief, is that you? I lost your signal when you disappeared inside the structure. What's going on down there? I'm tracking movement all over the place!"


Finally, an elevator that takes you out of here! You get to talk to Foe Hammer and chat with your marine buddies and fill up on health and shotgun ammo and everything. Run out into the swamp and you should get a checkpoint. This is another one you'll want to save. You're full of health and shotgun ammo and that's all you'll need. This area is pretty big, but you basically want to keep moving forward and blasting any Flood nearby before they get to your marines. Just what you'd expect. Eventually you'll come to a narrow pass. It's the only way forward and it's basically booby trapped. So wait for your marines to catch up before going through. Once they're with you, take off running. A whole bunch of infection and combat Flood will leap down on you from above. The marines should distract them long enough for you to get away. They're isn't really a way to save them here, so the least they can do is be used as an effective diversion.
''John-117 reaches the top where a trapped group of 10 Marines are holding out.''


Once you're through the pass you still have a fierce battle ahead. Keep blasting any Flood within range and reloading as you go. The depression you're in opens up now so it's a little hard to give directions, but you want to turn left now and eventually circle around to your right. There's a tall structure in the middle you're heading for, but you'll encounter less resistance if you approach it from behind. After the mass of enemies seems to be behind you, start to circle right and look for lights on the ground. Keep moving ahead and the structure should loom out of the fog. I have no idea what this building is for, but there are four huge pipes that extend out of its sides and plunge into the ground. Run alongside one of the pipes towards the structure and it will lead you into a little alcove. You can stay right here with the pipe on one side of you and part of structure itself extending out on the other side. With your back and sides covered you can wait out the rest of the battle blasting any Flood that get too suspicious with your remaining shotgun rounds. Eventually 343 Guilty Spark will show up and beam you away. Pat yourself on the back. You've survived your first encounter with the Flood.
''It is obvious they used a lot of ammo to escape, and it is all stacked in a pile. Most Marines hold shotguns and assault rifles, one or two have [[Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifle|plasma rifles]].''


==Normal Walkthrough==
[[File:HCE 343GuiltySpark SecondSquad.jpg|thumb|250px|John-117 leads the Marine survivors to escape the Flood-infested swamp.]]


"''Finally, he concluded with chilling certainty that he was not alone, that there was something else in the invisible beyond, lost to his poor vision, but watching with bated breaths and demonic stares, their claws sharpened to shed his blood...'' -H. Lecter
*'''[[Chips Dubbo]]''': "Sir! Thank God you're here. We've been lost out here for hours. After we lost contact with the rest of the mission, we, we headed for the RV point, and then these-these....these ''things''...they ambushed us. We've gotta get out of here!"


===Well Enough Alone===
*'''Flight Captain Rawley (COM)''': "There's a large tower a few hundred meters from your current position. Find a way above the fog and foliage canopy and I can move in and pick you up."


Hmmm... this place is a lot darker than the rest of Halo. The designer must've been depressed. Ah well, time to find some ammo (why don't we ever start out with a full AR combat load?).
''The Marine squad eagerly follows John-117 outside, where the Flood close in from all sides. Some Marines are attacked by Pod infectors, and their allies are forced to shoot them.''


Anyway, walk over to the downed Pelican. Seriously, why do these other pilots all screw up? Fill up on AR ammo, and take a look at those green boxes. Those are shotgun shell boxes. They contain 72 shells apiece. On Easy, there would be two shotguns, but this is Normal. No Shotgun for you? Yet all those shells...Bungie must have a sick sense of humor.
''As John-117 comes near the tower Rawley was speaking of, an odd blue object and a flotilla of [[Aggressor Sentinel|floating robotic automatons]] descend from the mist. The robots begin to slice away at any nearby Flood with [[Sentinel beam|built-in energy beams]], avoiding the Marines. After a few seconds of fighting around the base of the tower, the screen fades to white.''


Move down the path through the big puddle. A little up ahead, you will find a couple of dead Covenant with two PPs and one Needler. Ignore it; its dead empty. On the other hand, those PPs are fully charged. Ditch your Assault Rifle for one of them.

Aww, the fresh scent of a fully charged directed energy weapon. Move ahead, and you should see another downed covenant dropship,the [[Brilliant Gift]]. There is a small group of Grunts and Jackals (about six total). The Grunts are stupid enough to charge straight at you, so switch to your Human Pistol and pump each one a headshot. The Jackals tend to stay back, so time to get that PP ready. Feed each one an Overcharge, and melee them dead (to save Pistol ammo).
[[File:ChiefSparkCEA.png|thumb|300px|The Chief and 343 Guilty Spark meet for the first time.]]
Once they're gone, keep moving till you reach this sort of ramp made of a large tree root. There is a Jackal nestled in a crook on the other side, so feel free to feed him an Overcharge and a melee. Now go back for your other Fresh PP.  


Go across the tree bridge, and you should see a Shade on the other side. Keep moving, and you should see an explosion, and another group of Grunts/Jackals getting their alien asses kicked by (what I hope to be) Marines. Feel free to start unloading Overcharges on anything that moves. Once the main faction has been fried, go in and melee anything that remains. Now go back for your Assault Rifle (chill, you critics, i know what I'm doing!)
''John-117 suddenly finds himself enveloped in [[Teleportation grid|a bright gold light]], and then appears on top of one of the legs of the tower. The blue object hovers in front of him. The Chief instinctively points his weapon at it.''


Well, if there were any Marines in the first place, they sure bugged out real damn quickly. Ah, well, you need to get used to being alone. Thats how its going to be from now on. Get on that lift and get down into this creepy structure.  
*'''[[343 Guilty Spark]]''': "Greetings. I am the [[Monitor]] of [[Installation 04]]. I am 343 Guilty Spark."


When you stop, switch to your AR and get ready to have some fun. In the little antechamber, there is another squad of Grunts/Jackals (where are the Elites?) Newbies prefer to toss a frag grenade among them, but I like to blow away the nearest Grunt to get their attention, then move through the other end of the antechamber and melee the first mofo in front of you, and repeat/rinse until their all dead. Serious fun.
''The Chief slowly lowers his assault rifle. Gunfire is still heard below, and bright beams slice through the dark swamp. The Chief and the Monitor ignore the commotion.''


In the next room, grab a PP and send some Overcharges over to the Covenant on the floor. Once most of them are RIPing, grab your AR and get on the floor, and beat the rest to death. Moving on to the next room, you'll see three Jackals;proceed to beat their brains out. In the next hallway, you should see a dead Jackal, a lot of Covie blood, and a small room full of mangled Covenant corpses. Obviously, this place has something thats lurking in its dark corners. Lets hope we don't run into it on a bad day. The next couple of rooms are just as creepy.
*'''343 Guilty Spark''': "Someone has released the Flood. My function is to prevent it from leaving this installation. But I require your assistance. Come. This way."


Eventually, you'll come to a room that has seen some serious combat. Bullet holes, plasma scoring, blood, mangled bodies, flaming, wreckage, complete with one scared-out-of-his-mind Marine. That poor guy obviously saw some bad things going down, and he gives me the creeps even today. I sure hate to say it, but put him out of his misery. Just go in and melee him. After that grim job, go to the other side. You should probably find a fully charged Plasma Rifle (cooler than Fully charged PP!)Ditch your Pistol for it (yes, the Pistol!). Afterwards, get onto the second level, into the next room, and activate the light bridge and down the ramp into...
''John-117 and the Monitor vanish in another series of gold flashes.''


An interesting thing to note is that when you return to the room the scared marine was in in the next chapter, he will be oddly missing, with no blood and no signs of conflict with the flood. Strange.
*'''Rawley (COM)''': "Chief, I've lost your signal! Where'd you go? Chief? Chief!"


===The Flood===
''Fades to black.''
After a cinematic like that, I could use a break. Do so, and save and quit here. You got some tough battles ahead of you.


Okay, once you've had some therapy, load your game and take a good look around the room. There are four doors on the ground level: behind you, in front of you, and on either side of you. To your left, there is a supply of Pistol and AR ammo (guess who its from?) Fill up on AR ammo, then go to the door in front of you.  
''Level ends.''


Right about now, that door will bust open and a wave of those little squid things you saw in the cinematic (Flood Infection Forms) will com for you. A word of the wise: if one catches you with your shields down, you're in trouble. But just unload a few dozen Assault Rifle rounds into the main faction and melee the survivors.

As you finish off the main portion, the door on your right is going to bust open too. Feel free to unload the rest of your AR clip into that swarm.
==Production notes==
{{Main|Development of Halo: Combat Evolved}}
The design of ''343 Guilty Spark'' was initially developed by [[Bungie]] designer [[Paul Bertone]], but it was eventually given to fellow designer [[Jaime Griesemer]], who also addded splattered blood decals and the barricaded rooms.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=IGN|9ndZbg8Mr-Q|IGN|Halo: Combat Evolved Devs React to Speedrun (Martin O’Donnell, Marcus Lehto)}} Artists [[Justin Hayward]],{{Ref/Reuse|IGN}} [[Michael Wu]], and Eric Arroyo were responsible for the external environment; artist [[Shi Kai Wang]] also created concept art for the exterior swamp area.{{Ref/Book|AoH|Page=82-83}}


The door on your left is going bust open now, and this wave is pretty big, so I prefer to toss a Frag Grenade to clear out the first couple dozen, and unload on the rest with your automatic weapon.
There was an idea for the Paranoid Marine earlier in the development of this level in which he will stay alive, and when the player walks a distance away from him there was going to be a loud bang. If the player comes back, he would be found dead on the floor.{{Ref/Film|Id=Commentary|[[Halo 3 Legendary Edition|''Halo 3'' Legendary Edition]], Halo: Combat Evolved developer commentary}}


Now, the door you came through is going to bust open, revealing a bunch of Infection Forms and a couple of infected Elites. Protip: pause the game if you are hyperventilating. Once you're back to normal, unleash the pistol on those wackos. The evil space zombies don't have shields, but they pack one hell of a punch, and you want to stay pretty far away from them. Use the pistol on the general area of their chest, as they don't really have a head to aim at. The tentacles make a good target.
According to Director of Cinematics [[Joseph Staten]], the creation of the mid-level cinematic was very time-consuming, as he needed to record every character's movement separately. The music playing during the Pelican ride with Sergeant Johnson and the Marines known as "[[flip music]]" is titled [[Shreddin']]. It was previously planned to license the song "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones. The pilot of the Pelican was voiced by [[Lorraine McLees]].{{Ref/Reuse|Commentary}} The dead Sangheili seen in the recording was specifically made for the cutscene due to it having its own file and model. Similarly, there is a unique Flood Pod infector used for Jenkin's recording cutscene. In the game's code, it is called a "nopop" and is specifically designed not to pop in the cutscene.


After a few seconds, all those nasty Flood should be dead. Head up the ramp you came in by, but watch out for more Combat Forms just waiting to ambush you. If you see them, you could always neatly blast them in the chest with your M6D, but it's more satisfying, in my opinion, to unload the MA5B on full auto. Ah, the joy of 7.62 mm rounds.
The events of the level were later expanded in the novel ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'':
*The Pelican, ''Victor 933'' have been only one of the many UNSC forces sent to investigate the alleged "weapons cache," thus explaining the reason for the large numbers of human [[Combat Forms]].
*John-117 took away the Crazed Marine's pistol and ordering him to calm down before returning the pistol to him. Although, the Marine never followed the orders.
*After encountering the Crazed Marine, John-117 also found the Elite later seen in Jenkins' helmet recording.
*The Corporal calling to Johnson and Keyes for help (voiced by [[Chris Carney]]) was identified as Corporal [[Lovik]].
*In the novel, Jenkins was the one who tried to run instead of Mendoza.
*John-117's initial encounter with human combat forms had the Spartan meeting an infected Mendoza and trying to communicate with the combat form, before being forced to defend himself from the aggressive combat form.
*When escaping from the facility, John-117 was noted to have been amazed to see that two to three marines were actually still present inside of the facility.  


In the next room, a pack of Flood are takin' on the Covies. Stay on the upper level and exit through the door to the right. Head through the hallway to find yourself in another roomful of Flood, and this time there are no Covenant to distract them from you. Oh noes! Well, actually, this isn't as dire a situation as it looks like. Stay on the upper level and back into a corner. Fire a few shots to get the attention of the Flood. They'll all gather into your corner, but not one of them will have the brains to try and jump up onto your upper level. Now, between the wall and the upper level, there is a tiny crack. Just big enough for a frag grenade! Well, well! I don't think I have to tell you what to do here. Exit Flood. Drop down, clear out any survivors, and head through the door below the one you entered by. Follow the hall back to the previous room.
Avery Johnson's escape from the facility was depicted in ''[[Breaking Quarantine]]'' from the ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', while ''[[The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor]]'' briefly depicted John-117 in the swamp during the events of this level.


The Flood should be done with the Covenant here by now. Peek out of the hall, gun down anything close by with the M6D, and then retreat into the doorway. When the Flood come for you, unleash the AR on them, and rinse and repeat as necessary. Yes, you fools! Chew full metal jacket death! Ahem. Head back through the disgustingly blood-spattered hall to the door on the right. This next room has Covenant and Flood again. Wait a while for all the Covenant to die, then use the same strategy as before on the remaining Flood. Once everything is dead, jump up the stack of Covenant crates to get to the upper level. There might be a few Jackals or Grunts that hid from the Flood up here. Waste them with the MA5B.
==Trivia==
 
{{Cleanup|section}}
There's two doors up here. One is near where the Covenant where. We'll go through there eventually, but right now, we want to power up the lightbridge and head directly across. Hey, the elevator you got down here on! Fancy that! Well, the Flood fancy it, anyway. They come at you in droves, but you can use the same strategy you've been using. Hold the doorway with the AR and grenades, then finish things up with a pistol. This is one of the reasons I dislike the Flood: they make most strategies ineffective, so that there's only one or two ways you can play each fight. Now, get on the elevator and press go! Shoot! I guess the Flood broke it.  
===Glitches===
 
{{Main|Glitches}}
Now, go back through the door the Covenant were at. Here we have no enemies (for once), a load of ammo and health (for once) and the M90 Shotgun (4EVAR!). The M90 is your prize; for the rest of the game, it'll be your go-to gun, as the pistol becomes gradually less effective. So, time to make use of the 8-gauge. This reduces the Flood from evil alien space zombies to playthings before your awesome might.
*If the players play in co-op and use the [[Riding a Pelican#343 Guilty Spark|stay on Pelican]] glitch, then leave one player in the upper swamp and the other player walks along the tree trunk, then the player that is above can see the Flood up close and kill them easier.
 
*When the Covenant run away from the structure early in the level, there are [[MA5B assault rifle|assault rifle]] shots coming from the structure. To see this fully, use the "Stay in Pelican Trick" to get to the higher level of the swamp. Walk towards the entrance and slide down. They will see three MA5Bs floating in the air pointing at different angles firing wildly for a few seconds before disappearing.
After the next hall, we come to another elevator room. This time, though, you don't need to camp in the doorway! Turn that shotgun on and blaze a path through the Flood. Once you're done, hop on the elevator and—well, sometimes you have to sink before you rise. Right? Well, you're going down. In more ways than one.
*If look closely at the dead Marine before John-117 lays him on the floor in the cutscene, one can see that the Marine will blink about two to four times despite the fact that he's supposed to be dead.
 
*If the player pushes the Shade turret in the way of Jenkins's scripted walk path prior to entering structure beforehand, he will get stuck in the spot where the turret was placed but continue his scripted movement while the rest of the squad moves ahead of him into the structure due to the fact that the recording takes place in the exact same places that the player previously traveled. This is because the game doesn't "clear out" the room and return it to the state that it was in when Jenkins and his companions were in it.
The elevator shaft's bottom can be a bit tricky. The Flood have really got you surrounded here. Luckily, a bit of jumping around and M90-ing will see you through the danger. Head to the right side of the door, climb up on the crates, and grab the overshield as soon as those Flood are all dead. Amazingly, in the next room, there's a couple of Marines left. If you are incredibly leet, you can save them, but mostly, you should just worry about yourself and let them eat the path. By "worry about yourself" I mean "be a cowardly fool". Grab one of the camouflages and start firing some shotgun rounds into the Flood down below, coupled with grenades whenever you feel one is needed. The shotgun, despite its reputation as a close-range nightmare, is actually pretty decent at long ranges too; you just need to aim carefully. After about a clip from it, those Flood should be dead. Once they're all cold, grab the other active camo and head down onto the lower level. Exit through the blown-out door. The next split-path hallway has Flood hiding on either side, so be careful. If you get surrounded, you're pretty much hosed.  
*It is possible to skip the entire Flood reveal and progress through the level directly from the first room after the first elevator. To do this when the player first enters the room they must drop down to the lower level and go left to the column with a light past the locked door. There the player must grenade jump and move back but stop moving just in time; this allows the player to end up in the floor above and if done correctly the player should land on the beam. The player must then move past a bit of geometry (there is a line in the floor) but taking care not to move too far towards the wall or else the player will fall back down. From here the player must crouch, quickly release crouch and jump forward, then time the release of forward and crouch again; done correctly the player will land on another beam. The player must then move straight towards the back wall (where the door that later allows the player to progress is). Finally near the wall the player needs to jump diagonally through the wall and possibly crouch, avoiding the glass window at the right but not going too far left. From here the level can be continued as normal as despite the door to get in being locked the door to the electric room and the door after are not.
*It is possible to return to the room where the Paranoid Marine was after watching Jenkin's helmet recording.{{Ref/YouTube|S1fm41ouBfI&t=700s|Generalkidd|Secret Mangled Elite Bodies}}
*Sometimes, if the player moves through the swamp at the end of the mission too quickly, the Marines will get stuck near the exit of the containment facility and not follow any further.
*On rare occasions, the player can encounter [[Flood Infection Form||Flood Infection Forms]] in the room where the Crazed Marine is located. They will not attack the player, but they will despawn fairly quickly.


The next room is pretty normal. Flood are on the lower and upper levels, but there aren't too many of them. Jump up on the flaming pile of rubble. Grab the ammo and health, then jump up onto the upper floor. Leave through the only open door. Keep going straight across the next room. Enter the next room. You're on top with Flood below. Luckily, you can use the "grenade through the wall gap" trick again, killing most of the Flood here. Drop down and blow away the survivors, then leave through the broken door. The next room is more or less the same as the last one, only now you're on the bottom. A shotgun shell for each Flood form, and you're on your way again. Directly across the room from the door you came in by is an exit. You'll run into a crapload of Flood in this hall, so open up with the shotgun. You're about to get a chance to refill on ammo, so don't worry about conservation. In the next room is a fallen pillar with health and a lot of needles and shells on top. Stock up, then jump from there to the upper level. The next hall is clear of Flood.
===Mistakes===
*Sometimes, after the Master Chief has left dropship V933's crash site, the emergency distress call will start again prematurely, causing the message to overlap on itself.
*The door that the Flood breaks open during the helmet camera cutscene is closed before triggering that cutscene. This can be seen through a window from the room before the cutscene triggers. If the player skips the cutscene before it gets to the part where the infection forms burst out, it will still be intact.
*The dead Marine in the recording cutscene has a boonie hat on during the cutscene, though during gameplay he doesn't.
*The date on the timestamp of [[Private Jenkins]]' footage is May 27, 2552; months before the game actually takes place, which is September. This is due to the Private not calibrating his helmet cam.{{Ref/Site|id=BWU4/7/06|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=updateqaapril|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update 4/7/2006|Quote=When the Pillar of Autumn makes a jump, to adjust for normalized Earth time it will recalibrate equipment once position and relative position have been established. However, since the Autumn made a blind jump and straight into combat, no battle or field equipment was recalibrated. For that same reason, "north" on an assault rifle's built-in compass simply defaulted (per instructions from Keyes) to the largest visible source of gravity and magnetism - Threshold. The Earth-normal date was in fact September, in spite of what local equipment displayed. If poor old Jenkins had survived, his equipment would have been reset on the next (deliberate) jump.|D=07|M=02|Y=2021}}
*In Jenkins' helmet cam, the Marines exit the Pelican from at least 10 feet off the ground.
*The spoofer, which the Master Chief uses to open the door, only appears in the cutscene and not during actual gameplay.
*Sometimes, Sergeant Johnson will be in the surviving second squad, even though he escaped the structure by himself.{{Ref/Comic|HGN|Story=Breaking Quarantine}}
*During the ending cutscene, the Monitor can be seen flying around the tower as well as talking to the Chief. Similar to the previous error, this is because the Monitor is in the level before the cutscene, but isn't removed when the cutscene starts.
*A flashing red light can be seen attached to one of the trees surrounding the tower where the mission ends at. It is identical to the same red lights on the tower itself. This appears to be a placement mistake.


There is a lightbridge switch in this next area, as well as a bunch of Flood on the ground floor. You could try and clean them out, but I wouldn't recommend it. Extend the lightbridge and go across to the door. A LOT of Flood will come out—there's at least ten of them in the doorway, they're so bunched up that a couple of grenades can kill them all. Mop up the stragglers with the shotty. Head on through once you're sure everything is dead. Finally, another elevator. The first time I played this, I decided that if this elevator went down too, I would kill myself.
===Easter eggs===
{{Main|Easter eggs}}
*There is a hidden [[Active Camouflage]] in this level. After killing the Kig-yar on the tree trunk that goes to the next part of the level, get onto the tree trunk. Once in the middle, stop and turn right. Jump down. There is a pipe leading up to a small ledge that is too high to jump to. There is a ramp. Go up it. Go as far back as one can on the ledge, and inside a bush there is an Active Camouflage power-up.
*Private Jenkins' chip says "Do Not Eat". However it is only visible if the map is opened with HMT and look at the Bitmaps tab.
*Sangheili Combat Forms can occasionally be seen up in the cliffs, and on top of fallen tree trunks during the initial outdoor part of the level. They cannot be killed, but body parts can be shot off, and they show as friendly on the radar.
*This level makes several references to the movie ''Aliens'', such as the banter between the marines witnessed by observing Jenkin's recording.
*Inside the structure, in the room with the Shade turrets, throw a plasma grenade under one of the turrets. If you get it just right it will blast up to the higher level of the room. After you've gotten past the Crazed Marine and you're on the higher level, melee the turret over to the door that you just came out of and get the back leg in the door. Proceed with the level. When you come back, the door you meleed the Shade turret into will be partially opened. Give the Shade one more melee and it will start shaking. Get into the turret and turn it so that the right is facing the door, then exit it and you will be in a hallway (this might take a few tries). Go through the hallway to enter the room that contains the unique dead Sangheili model. (Warning: there are Flood Combat Forms in here).
* The [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary skulls#Recession skull|Recession skull]] is located to the left of the facility in a little drop behind a shade turret. When the player crosses the fallen tree, they'll see a shade turret blow up and assault rifle fire coming from the structure. Instead of going inside, immediately go to the left and keep against the back wall. You will come to a turret with a small drop behind it. Slide down the drop carefully; the skull is at the bottom.
* The [[Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#The Terminals|sixth Terminal]] is found while riding the third elevator that leads out of the underground facility. The terminal is above the doorway leading into the elevator room. It can be reached by activating the elevator, then timing it correctly and jumping off onto the platform below (there is only one possible attempt due to the lack of elevator controls on the top floor).


Luckily for you (and me) it goes up. There are a LOT of Marines up here—I count thirteen—and about half of them have shotguns. For a real challenge, try to kill them all. You might as well. They'll just die anyway, and it's good practice for multiplayer.  
===References===
*In the ''[[Halo 3]]'' level, [[Floodgate]], there is [[Suicidal Marine|another]] [[Crazed Marine]], though this one won't shoot at the player. Instead, he points the [[M6G magnum|pistol]] at his head occasionally, contemplating suicide.
*The line "I have a bad feeling about this" is another homage to ''Aliens'' or ''Star Wars''.
*The swamps are covered by some kind of glowing plants. Similar plants may be seen in ''[[High Charity]]'' in ''[[Halo 2]]''.


Anyway, if you aren't a treacherous swine who kills his soldiers, stock up on ammo and health one more time and move out of the base. The Marines know where to go, but they won't last very long. Rule of thumb: stick to the left. When you see a structure with big blinking lights, get close to it and stay close. The Marines, if they aren't already dead, will be soon. Then a flying blue ball, actually [[343 Guilty Spark]] will show up. He will teleport you to the next level.
===Miscellaneous===
 
[[File:MarinePicture.jpg|thumb|150px|Mendoza standing in the upper area of the swamp.]]
Interesting to note, by the way: it is possible for two 343 Guilty Sparks to appear in the cutscene—the one who's talking to the Chief and one floating aimlessly in the background. Probably just a glitch.
*Mendoza can be found as a [[Hidden Marine]] in the upper area of the swamp if the player prevents the scripted exit from the Pelican by continuously throwing grenades out of the Pelican.
 
*This is one of three levels in the entire Halo trilogy where Needler ammunition magazines can be seen and used, the others being the ''Halo 2'' [[multiplayer]] map ''[[Uplift]]'', and the level ''[[Quarantine Zone]]''.
Another "glitch" is the event is when one of the Marines aiding you is Sgt. Johnson, despite the fact that he is canonically believed dead for some time after. This has happened on a couple of occasions, and is probably because he his character model is counted as a normal Marine in Halo: CE. Privates Bisenti, Jenkins, and Mendoza can also appear, despite having been taken over by the Flood.
*At the start of the level, the [[Flood]] that run into the mist at the big tree and the hill will appear as yellow blips, indicating that they are allies. This may be an error by the motion sensor, as later on in the game, they become enemies. Another possible explanation is that the Friend-Or-Foe tags that are still embedded inside the [[Flood]] forms, which could possibly be mutated [[Marines]], however on closer inspection, all of the [[Flood]] forms encountered are [[Elite]] [[Combat Forms]]. This adds to the mystery and tension of the setting, creating an atmosphere of fear in the player, as well as a foreshadowing of things to come. Of course, it could also have been made that way so they would not attack the player.
 
*During the first chapter of the level, corpses will spawn in the swamp when the player is at some point of the inside of the installation. Walk back outside before the Private Jenkins helmet cam cutscene and bodies of Marines will be scattered through the lower level of the swamp. If one can make it to the upper level of the swamp (around Mendoza and such), one will find corpses of Covenant and Human Flood Combat Forms.
==Trivia==
*If players examine the floor to the right of the unlocked containment door, the player can find the neural chip that the Master Chief tossed aside after the "last recording" cutscene. However, it will disappear as if it was a particle over a short period of time.
*At the start of the level, the Flood which runs in the mist at the big tree and the hill will appear as yellow blips, indicating that they are allies. This may be an error to the motion sensor as later on in the game, they become enemies. They are not invincible, if you hit them with enough pistol shots, they go down.
*If the player doesn't enter the installation in this level and choose to linger in the swamps, they can hear in the background Flood gurgles and howls.
*Flood Combat Forms can be glimpsed and overheard through the fog early in the level. These are the cause of the random blips on your motion detector. However, they appear as friendly targets. This only adds to the mystery and tension of the setting.
*This level is one of the few rare campaign levels with red team and blue team [[List of Forerunner Symbols|symbols]]. They can be found near the first Flood encounter area and at any similar areas in the level.
*When you look at some closed doors you can see [[Infection Form]]s standing in front of the door, waiting to kill you
*If the player returns to the elevator they entered the structure after meeting the Flood, looking up to where the elevator is, the player can clearly observe that it is on fire and damaged. Activating it will result in debris of it falling down to the shaft, and the Halo soundtrack [[Lament for Pvt. Jenkins]] will play again.
*On the cutscene of the Jenkins Helmet, you can see that the Infection Forms have holes in them
**If the player is using Acrophobia Skull, the player can get out of the facility only to find corpses almost everywhere, mainly Grunts. Upon reaching the Landing Zone, the player can find a Pelican is holding position at where the Pelican carrying Sergeant Johnson stops before fast-forwarding. The player can board it as a passenger, but the Pelican won't move.
*Mendoza was also the name of one of the Marines in the level Quarantine Zone in Halo 2. However, this is not the marine which you meet in 343 Guilty Spark. You either killed him, or canonically, he was shotgunned in half by the Master Chief.
*It is possible to save the marines at the facility's bottom level from being killed. However, they will not follow the player any further. Instead, they will run in circles, occasionally dropping to one knee for a moment, and repeat the phrases: "I'm not sticking around to get killed.", "I'm gone, man!", "I'm out of here!", "You can't stop them!", "Forget this!", "Later, dude." and "This is suicide, man!" These lines are said by the Crewmen on {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. On a rare occasion, the surviving Marines will follow the player into the next room, but immediately retreat following a brief moment.
*If you at any point of the first chapter reach the upper level of the swamp, you will find Pvt. Mendoza comfortably standing at attention in the middle of nowhere.
*This is the final level of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' in which Marines are seen alive (with the exception of the non-canon Legendary ending on [[The Maw]] featuring [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]]).
*During the first chapter of the level, dead corpses will spawn in the swamp when you are at some point of the inside of the installation. If you care, walk back outside before the Pvt. Jenkins cutscene and bodies of marines will be scattered through the lower level of the swamp. If you can make it to the upper level of the swamp (around Mendoza and such), you will find corpses of covenant and human flood forms.
*The swamp area in the end of the level was later re-used for the multiplayer map ''[[Backwash]]'' in ''Halo 2''.
*If you throw a grenade when you're still on the pelican in the beginning, you will be able to stay in it, eventually landing and you'll get to explore the outside of the map. Also, the Pelican can be moved with melees.
*Playing the level with the [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary skulls#Grunt Funeral skull|Grunt Funeral Skull]] active in ''Halo Anniversary'' causes the Grunt corpses to detonate immediately after they spawn. This results in the player hearing explosions as they proceed further into the complex.
*During the video of Jenkins helmet, it shows the squad using a spoofer to open up an already unlocked door (note the green around the door).
*This, and the subsequent level ''[[The Library]]'', are the only levels where the player will not encounter any Covenant Elites.
*In the [[Halo 3]] level, [[Floodgate (Level)|Floodgate]] there is another [[Crazed Marine]], though this one won't shoot at you. Instead he points the [[M6G Pistol|pistol]] at his head occasionally, contemplating suicide.
*The chip you pull from the [[Marine]]'s helmet says "DO NOT EAT". You need an editing program in which you can view the bitmap to see this.
*When the [[Covenant]] run away from the structure early in the level, there are [[MA5B Assault Rifle|Assault Rifle]] shots coming from the structure, but there aren't any models firing them.
* Some point in Part 1 of the level, there is an elevator, if activated, explodes into fiery pieces.
*If you go were the lone marine (the safari looking marine easter egg with no weapon) stand about 50 Meters little ways aways from the marine ( barely so you can see him in the mist) look to your right  (Were the crashed [[spirit]] is right before the tree bridge crossing) right were the [[spirit]] is look up were theirs a steep hill if you have a pistol zoom in  on the hill and their will be a dead grunt body on that hill. Its not an AI you killed its just a grunt body

“ Creep through a swamp to meet the only enemy the Covenant fear. ”

343 Guilty Spark is the sixth campaign level in Halo: Combat Evolved.

In the swamps near a Flood containment facility on the surface of Installation 04, John-117 is dropped from Echo 419 to search for Captain Jacob Keyes who has been out of contact for over 12 hours. Soon, the Master Chief stumbles upon a structure and ventures within it, only to find out that the Marines accompanying the Captain have been slaughtered by an unknown force. After realizing the fate of the Marines, John fights his way out to the swamp and encounters a questionable ally.

Transcript[edit]

Well Enough Alone[edit]

Echo 419 arrives at the swamp.

{Original Cutscene} {Anniversary Cutscene}

View flies over a group of Kig-Yar and Unggoy running through a swamp, panicky and obviously in retreat. As it pans over them, the outline of a Pelican dropship can be seen through the fog and rain, which further materializes as the view draws closer.

  • Flight Captain Carol Rawley (COM): "The last transmission from the Captain's dropship was from this area. That was over twelve hours ago."

NOTE: In the Anniversary subtitles, Rawley adds, "...and we've been unable to reestablish contact with the Captain or his team."

{Gameplay}

  • Rawley (COM): "When you locate Captain Keyes, radio in, and I'll come pick you up."

In certain parts of the level, the player can hear a radio transmission coming from a crashed human dropship and a Covenant communications terminal. As it repeats, static pervades the transmission, and the signal fades in and out of clarity.

  • Dropship Victor 933's Pilot (Recording): "Dropship Victor 933-(static)-Pillar of Autumn-(static)-need assistance. We are under att-(static)-attack by some new kind of hostile-(static)-isn't Covenant. (Static) Captain Keyes has been captured by hostiles. (static) -dug in at a large structure in a swamp-(static)-We need to pull out. Please-(static)-I will set this message to repeat at-(static)-regular intervals. Dropship Victor 933, clear."

John-117 quickly finds the crashed dropship sending the message. There are weapons and supplies piled nearby, but no signs of life. An explosion in the distance throws the bodies of an Unggoy and a Kig-Yar through the air. He heads off to investigate and finds a crashed Covenant Spirit.

The Chief also encounters a small group of Unggoy and Kig-Yar, which he quickly eliminates, before crossing a log bridge. As he moves across the bridge, he sees several shadowy figures running around on the top of the cliff to the right. Also, his motion tracker shows seemingly friendly units in the swamp not too far from his location, but they suddenly disappear off radar.

When he reaches the other side, he hears assault rifle fire nearby. He investigates and sees a mob of Unggoy and Kig-Yar fleeing from a large entrance. A frag grenade explosion throws a Shade turret through the air. The fleeing Covenant regroup nearby and attack him out of fear.

John-117 kills the Covenant and hurries to the entrance, but finds no one there. A lift arrives for him. He takes the lift down into the depths of the structure.

John-117 passes through several large rooms and many smaller ones inside the structure, filled with Unggoy, Kig-Yar, empty Shade turrets, discarded weapons, and dead bodies - both Marine and Covenant. Curiously there is no sign of any Sangheili, alive or dead. In some rooms, Kig-Yar and Unggoy gather at the doorways as if expecting an attack. In one room, the Chief discovers a strange green-yellow substance falling from the ceiling.

The Chief arrives at the ominously empty facility.

As the Chief comes into an area blasted with gunfire and scorch marks, there is the sound of shattering glass. A lone Marine sits leaning against a wall, M6D magnum pointed at him. The Marine shoots at the Spartan if the Chief comes too close, while screaming at the top of his lungs the following phrases. He also fiddles around with his pistol a lot, checking to see if the magazine is full.

Paranoid Marine:

  • "Stay back! Stay back, you're not turning me into one of those things! I'll blow your brains out! Get away from me!"
  • "Gaaaaahh! Aaaaaahh! Don't touch me, you freaks! I won't be like you, I'll die first! Find your own hiding place, the monsters are everywhere!"
  • "Play dead! That's what I did...played dead. They took the live ones... Oh God, I can still hear them!"
  • (sobbing) "Monsters... Ahhhhhh! Ahhhhaaahhh..."
  • "Just leave me alone!"
  • "Sarge? Mendoza? Bisenti? Oh God...the things took them. Away, away, away, they went away... (mumbles and cries) They're gone! Get it? Gone!"
  • "They won't get me! Oh God... Oh God, I don't want to be like them. Please, please no, nooo..."

John-117 leaves him, and makes his way into the room, which is covered in dead Covenant bodies, blood, bullet holes and plasma scoring. Some areas of the floor are blackened with blasts from explosions. In some areas, small flecks of a greenish substance are found on the floor. The Chief finds a partially shattered walkway and ascends to the second floor. An assault rifle lies on the ground, pointing like an arrow towards the entrance of a room marked with ominous red Forerunner glyphs. The door appears to have been forced open. The Chief goes in, passes a dead Marine, and walks down a ramp.

The Chief comes down one of two ramps on either side of a doorway, which has been recently been forced open by a UNSC spoofer.

{Original Cutscene} {Anniversary Cutscene}

Private Jenkins' discarded helmet.

John-117 approaches the door cautiously and listens for any movement inside. Just as he is about to type a command into the spoofer, there is a noise behind him. He turns around, gun ready to shoot, but sees nothing. After a moment, he turns back to the door, places his gun on his shoulder and opens the door. When it opens, the body of a Marine falls into his arms. He advances a few paces, places the body on the floor gently while making sure nobody follows him through. He sweeps his assault rifle about the room.

The floor is covered in human blood. Discarded UNSC weapons litter the floor. John-117 also notices a helmet lying on the floor, and, crouching, moves swiftly towards it. Once there, he surveys the room one more time, places his rifle on the floor, and picks up the helmet. The name "JENKINS" is stamped across it. There is a large, jagged hole punched through the top of it. The Master Chief shakes his head. He then examines the helmet more closely and notices that the helmet recorder, near the Heads-up display, is still intact. He retrieves the M4 field disk and inserts it into a socket in his helmet.

Sergeant Johnson arguing with Bisenti over flip music.

The view switches to a night vision-enabled recording. Jenkins looks around the inside of a Pelican. There are several other Marines seated in the dropship with him. Flip music, Johnson's favorite genre, blares over the cabin speakers.

  • Private Manuel Mendoza: "Why do we always have to listen to this old stuff, Sarge?"
  • Staff Sergeant Avery Junior Johnson: "Watch your mouth, son. This "stuff" is your history. It should remind you grunts what we're fightin' to protect."
  • Mendoza: "Hey... if the Covenant wanna wipe out this particular part of my history, that's fine by me."
  • Private Bisenti: "Yeah... better it than us."
  • Johnson: "You ask 'em real nice next time you see 'em, Bisenti. I'm sure they'll be happy to oblige."
  • Pelican dropship pilot (COM): "LZ looks clear! I'm bringing us down!"

The Pelican descends to the ground.

  • Johnson: "Go, go, go!"

The Squad advances through the swamp towards the same structure the Chief is in.

  • Johnson: "Stay close, Jenkins!"

They reach the entrance and sweep their weapons across it, wary.

  • Johnson: "Mendoza! Move it up!"

Mendoza advances in a crouch, gun at the ready.

  • Johnson: (to Jenkins) "Wait here for the Captain and his squad, then get your ass inside."

Jenkins look behind the squad.

  • Johnson: "Okay, let's move!"

The fireteam heads into the structure.

Fade to black.

> PLAY >

The squad discovers an oddly-mutilated Sangheili corpse.

Inside the room where John-117 encountered the Paranoid Marine, the squad stands around a Sangheili carcass. Its chest is torn wide open. Private Mendoza is examining a similar corpse on the left hand side of the screen.

  • Private Kappus: "--which is weird, right? I mean...look at it."

Bisenti prods the Sangheili with his foot.

  • Private Kappus: "Something...scrambled the insides."

NOTE: In the Anniversary subtitles, Kappus says, "Something tore open its chest and scrambled the insides."

  • Johnson: "What's that? Plasma scoring?"
  • Kappus: "Yeah... I dunno. Maybe there was an accident. You know, friendly fire or something?"

Captain Keyes approaches the squad.

  • Johnson: "Looks like a Covenant patrol. Badass Elite units, all KIA."

Keyes looks down at the dead Sangheili.

  • Keyes: "Real pretty... Friend of yours?"
  • Kappus: "Nah, we just met."

Fade to black.

> FFW >>

> PLAY >

The squad, along with Captain Keyes and his own squad, stand outside a locked door - the one the Chief has just come through.

  • Keyes: "Right. Well, let's get this door open."
  • Kappus: "I'll try, sir... But it looks like these Covenant worked pretty hard to lock it down."
  • Keyes: "Just do it, son!"
  • Kappus: "Yes, sir."

Kappus removes a spoofer from his pocket and sticks it to the door. He punches a few keys, and the door opens. He waves the squad through. Bisenti takes point through the door, Jenkins close behind him, and the rest of the squad fans out around him. An odd rumbling sound is heard.

  • Mendoza: "I've got a bad feeling about this..."
  • Johnson: "Boy, you always got a bad feelin' about something-"
  • Corporal Lovik (COM): "-Captain, Sarge (static) can you hear me?!"
  • Keyes: "What's going on, soldier?"
  • Lovik (COM): (panicked) "We've got contacts - lots of 'em - but...they're not Covenant... They're just tearing through us - what the?! Oh, nooooo...!"

The same hissing noises can be heard in the background.

  • Johnson: "Corporal? Do you copy, over?"

No response is given.

  • Johnson: "Mendoza, get your ass back up to Second Squad's position, and find out what the hell is goin' on."
  • Mendoza: "But sir-"
  • Johnson: "I don't have time for your lip, soldier! I gave you an order!"

The same noise that John-117 heard before entering the room is heard.

  • Kappus: "Sarge! Listen!"

The odd hissing noise grows louder and louder. Everyone scans the room, trying to find the source of the strange sounds.

  • Jenkins: "What is that?"
  • Johnson: "Where's that coming from, Mendoza?"
  • Mendoza: "Everywhere... I don't - there! (Spanish) ¡Mira!" (Look!)

Mendoza points to a nearby door, which has just exploded outwards. Small squid-like creatures swarm from it.

  • Private Riley: "Ahh...augh! Get it out! Get it out- augh!"

Riley lies on the ground, one of the Pod infectors attached to his chest. Bisenti tries to pull it off him.

  • Bisenti: "Hold still, hold still!"

Bisenti pulls the creature off of Riley, who goes limp. Bisenti struggles with the creature, which is now trying to infect him.

Sergeant Johnson and Captain Keyes fight back-to-back as their squad is overrun by the Flood.
  • Johnson: "Let 'em have it!"

The Marines and Captain Keyes open fire, to little effect. Pod infectors swarm them with overwhelming numbers.

  • Keyes: "Sergeant, we're surrounded!"
  • Johnson: "God dammit, Jenkins! Fire your weapon!"
  • Mendoza: "There are too many, Sarge!"
  • Johnson: "Don't even think about it, Marine!"

As the chaotic firefight continues, Mendoza dashes for the exit, abandoning his fireteam.

  • Mendoza: "Yo, this is loco!"
  • Keyes: "Get back here, Marine! That's an order!"

The Marine squad is overtaken, still firing, while their blood sprays as Pod infectors continue to crawl onto them. Another group of infectors drop from the ceiling, right between Johnson, Keyes and Jenkins.

  • Johnson: "Jenkins!"

Several infectors attack Jenkins, blocking out his helmet cam. The screen cuts to black.

> END RECORD VIEW [2552.5.27.6:39:23 L]

John-117 removes the chip from his helmet, shakes his head, and tosses the chip to the ground. The noises begin again. He readies his assault rifle.

The Flood[edit]

{Gameplay}

The door John-117 came through is now locked. Three doors holding dozens of Pod infectors break open one at a time, their inhabitants attacking him.

The entrance breaks open. Massive amounts of infectors skitter inside, followed by unarmed Sangheili combat forms.

John-117 escapes the facility, encountering Flood forms and some Covenant infantry struggling to survive.

A swarm of pod infectors approach John-117 in a Flood containment facility on Installation 04.
John is about to be attacked by Pod infectors that broke quarantine in the containment facility.

John-117 tries to take the elevator he entered with, but while he waits for it to come down, it suddenly falls down and crashes down to the bottom of the facility.

After some fighting, John-117 arrives at another elevator, but it goes deeper underground and Unggoy blood is seen painted on the elevator's shaft. At the bottom of the shaft, he's attacked by armed combat forms - both infected Sangheili and humans. This detour forces him to fight his way back up.

John-117 eventually sees two (three on Easy/Normal difficulty) Marines armed with shotguns and assault rifles fighting the Flood.

Although their weapons give them a distinct advantage, a single Pod infector or a single combat form attack can kill them.

If they survive, they hold their position inside the room, saying the following in random order:

  • "This is suicide (man)!"
  • "I'm gone, man!"
  • "I'm not sticking around to get killed!"
  • "We/I can't stop them!"
  • "Forget this!"
  • "Later, dude!"
  • "I've had enough of this crap!"
  • "I'm outta here!"

John-117 reaches the final elevator and rises to an exit from the structure.

  • Rawley (COM): "This is Echo 419. Chief, is that you? I lost your signal when you disappeared inside the structure. What's going on down there? I'm tracking movement all over the place!"

John-117 reaches the top where a trapped group of 10 Marines are holding out.

It is obvious they used a lot of ammo to escape, and it is all stacked in a pile. Most Marines hold shotguns and assault rifles, one or two have plasma rifles.

The Marines of second squad and John-117 desperately attempt to escape the Flood-infested swamps of Installation 04.
John-117 leads the Marine survivors to escape the Flood-infested swamp.
  • Chips Dubbo: "Sir! Thank God you're here. We've been lost out here for hours. After we lost contact with the rest of the mission, we, we headed for the RV point, and then these-these....these things...they ambushed us. We've gotta get out of here!"
  • Flight Captain Rawley (COM): "There's a large tower a few hundred meters from your current position. Find a way above the fog and foliage canopy and I can move in and pick you up."

The Marine squad eagerly follows John-117 outside, where the Flood close in from all sides. Some Marines are attacked by Pod infectors, and their allies are forced to shoot them.

As John-117 comes near the tower Rawley was speaking of, an odd blue object and a flotilla of floating robotic automatons descend from the mist. The robots begin to slice away at any nearby Flood with built-in energy beams, avoiding the Marines. After a few seconds of fighting around the base of the tower, the screen fades to white.

343 Guilty Spark[edit]

{Original Cutscene} {Anniversary Cutscene}

The Chief and 343 Guilty Spark meet for the first time.

John-117 suddenly finds himself enveloped in a bright gold light, and then appears on top of one of the legs of the tower. The blue object hovers in front of him. The Chief instinctively points his weapon at it.

The Chief slowly lowers his assault rifle. Gunfire is still heard below, and bright beams slice through the dark swamp. The Chief and the Monitor ignore the commotion.

  • 343 Guilty Spark: "Someone has released the Flood. My function is to prevent it from leaving this installation. But I require your assistance. Come. This way."

John-117 and the Monitor vanish in another series of gold flashes.

  • Rawley (COM): "Chief, I've lost your signal! Where'd you go? Chief? Chief!"

Fades to black.

Level ends.

Production notes[edit]

Main article: Development of Halo: Combat Evolved

The design of 343 Guilty Spark was initially developed by Bungie designer Paul Bertone, but it was eventually given to fellow designer Jaime Griesemer, who also addded splattered blood decals and the barricaded rooms.[2] Artists Justin Hayward,[2] Michael Wu, and Eric Arroyo were responsible for the external environment; artist Shi Kai Wang also created concept art for the exterior swamp area.[3]

There was an idea for the Paranoid Marine earlier in the development of this level in which he will stay alive, and when the player walks a distance away from him there was going to be a loud bang. If the player comes back, he would be found dead on the floor.[4]

According to Director of Cinematics Joseph Staten, the creation of the mid-level cinematic was very time-consuming, as he needed to record every character's movement separately. The music playing during the Pelican ride with Sergeant Johnson and the Marines known as "flip music" is titled Shreddin'. It was previously planned to license the song "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones. The pilot of the Pelican was voiced by Lorraine McLees.[4] The dead Sangheili seen in the recording was specifically made for the cutscene due to it having its own file and model. Similarly, there is a unique Flood Pod infector used for Jenkin's recording cutscene. In the game's code, it is called a "nopop" and is specifically designed not to pop in the cutscene.

The events of the level were later expanded in the novel Halo: The Flood:

  • The Pelican, Victor 933 have been only one of the many UNSC forces sent to investigate the alleged "weapons cache," thus explaining the reason for the large numbers of human Combat Forms.
  • John-117 took away the Crazed Marine's pistol and ordering him to calm down before returning the pistol to him. Although, the Marine never followed the orders.
  • After encountering the Crazed Marine, John-117 also found the Elite later seen in Jenkins' helmet recording.
  • The Corporal calling to Johnson and Keyes for help (voiced by Chris Carney) was identified as Corporal Lovik.
  • In the novel, Jenkins was the one who tried to run instead of Mendoza.
  • John-117's initial encounter with human combat forms had the Spartan meeting an infected Mendoza and trying to communicate with the combat form, before being forced to defend himself from the aggressive combat form.
  • When escaping from the facility, John-117 was noted to have been amazed to see that two to three marines were actually still present inside of the facility.

Avery Johnson's escape from the facility was depicted in Breaking Quarantine from the Halo Graphic Novel, while The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor briefly depicted John-117 in the swamp during the events of this level.

Trivia[edit]

Glitches[edit]

Main article: Glitches
  • If the players play in co-op and use the stay on Pelican glitch, then leave one player in the upper swamp and the other player walks along the tree trunk, then the player that is above can see the Flood up close and kill them easier.
  • When the Covenant run away from the structure early in the level, there are assault rifle shots coming from the structure. To see this fully, use the "Stay in Pelican Trick" to get to the higher level of the swamp. Walk towards the entrance and slide down. They will see three MA5Bs floating in the air pointing at different angles firing wildly for a few seconds before disappearing.
  • If look closely at the dead Marine before John-117 lays him on the floor in the cutscene, one can see that the Marine will blink about two to four times despite the fact that he's supposed to be dead.
  • If the player pushes the Shade turret in the way of Jenkins's scripted walk path prior to entering structure beforehand, he will get stuck in the spot where the turret was placed but continue his scripted movement while the rest of the squad moves ahead of him into the structure due to the fact that the recording takes place in the exact same places that the player previously traveled. This is because the game doesn't "clear out" the room and return it to the state that it was in when Jenkins and his companions were in it.
  • It is possible to skip the entire Flood reveal and progress through the level directly from the first room after the first elevator. To do this when the player first enters the room they must drop down to the lower level and go left to the column with a light past the locked door. There the player must grenade jump and move back but stop moving just in time; this allows the player to end up in the floor above and if done correctly the player should land on the beam. The player must then move past a bit of geometry (there is a line in the floor) but taking care not to move too far towards the wall or else the player will fall back down. From here the player must crouch, quickly release crouch and jump forward, then time the release of forward and crouch again; done correctly the player will land on another beam. The player must then move straight towards the back wall (where the door that later allows the player to progress is). Finally near the wall the player needs to jump diagonally through the wall and possibly crouch, avoiding the glass window at the right but not going too far left. From here the level can be continued as normal as despite the door to get in being locked the door to the electric room and the door after are not.
  • It is possible to return to the room where the Paranoid Marine was after watching Jenkin's helmet recording.[5]
  • Sometimes, if the player moves through the swamp at the end of the mission too quickly, the Marines will get stuck near the exit of the containment facility and not follow any further.
  • On rare occasions, the player can encounter |Flood Infection Forms in the room where the Crazed Marine is located. They will not attack the player, but they will despawn fairly quickly.

Mistakes[edit]

  • Sometimes, after the Master Chief has left dropship V933's crash site, the emergency distress call will start again prematurely, causing the message to overlap on itself.
  • The door that the Flood breaks open during the helmet camera cutscene is closed before triggering that cutscene. This can be seen through a window from the room before the cutscene triggers. If the player skips the cutscene before it gets to the part where the infection forms burst out, it will still be intact.
  • The dead Marine in the recording cutscene has a boonie hat on during the cutscene, though during gameplay he doesn't.
  • The date on the timestamp of Private Jenkins' footage is May 27, 2552; months before the game actually takes place, which is September. This is due to the Private not calibrating his helmet cam.[6]
  • In Jenkins' helmet cam, the Marines exit the Pelican from at least 10 feet off the ground.
  • The spoofer, which the Master Chief uses to open the door, only appears in the cutscene and not during actual gameplay.
  • Sometimes, Sergeant Johnson will be in the surviving second squad, even though he escaped the structure by himself.[7]
  • During the ending cutscene, the Monitor can be seen flying around the tower as well as talking to the Chief. Similar to the previous error, this is because the Monitor is in the level before the cutscene, but isn't removed when the cutscene starts.
  • A flashing red light can be seen attached to one of the trees surrounding the tower where the mission ends at. It is identical to the same red lights on the tower itself. This appears to be a placement mistake.

Easter eggs[edit]

Main article: Easter eggs
  • There is a hidden Active Camouflage in this level. After killing the Kig-yar on the tree trunk that goes to the next part of the level, get onto the tree trunk. Once in the middle, stop and turn right. Jump down. There is a pipe leading up to a small ledge that is too high to jump to. There is a ramp. Go up it. Go as far back as one can on the ledge, and inside a bush there is an Active Camouflage power-up.
  • Private Jenkins' chip says "Do Not Eat". However it is only visible if the map is opened with HMT and look at the Bitmaps tab.
  • Sangheili Combat Forms can occasionally be seen up in the cliffs, and on top of fallen tree trunks during the initial outdoor part of the level. They cannot be killed, but body parts can be shot off, and they show as friendly on the radar.
  • This level makes several references to the movie Aliens, such as the banter between the marines witnessed by observing Jenkin's recording.
  • Inside the structure, in the room with the Shade turrets, throw a plasma grenade under one of the turrets. If you get it just right it will blast up to the higher level of the room. After you've gotten past the Crazed Marine and you're on the higher level, melee the turret over to the door that you just came out of and get the back leg in the door. Proceed with the level. When you come back, the door you meleed the Shade turret into will be partially opened. Give the Shade one more melee and it will start shaking. Get into the turret and turn it so that the right is facing the door, then exit it and you will be in a hallway (this might take a few tries). Go through the hallway to enter the room that contains the unique dead Sangheili model. (Warning: there are Flood Combat Forms in here).
  • The Recession skull is located to the left of the facility in a little drop behind a shade turret. When the player crosses the fallen tree, they'll see a shade turret blow up and assault rifle fire coming from the structure. Instead of going inside, immediately go to the left and keep against the back wall. You will come to a turret with a small drop behind it. Slide down the drop carefully; the skull is at the bottom.
  • The sixth Terminal is found while riding the third elevator that leads out of the underground facility. The terminal is above the doorway leading into the elevator room. It can be reached by activating the elevator, then timing it correctly and jumping off onto the platform below (there is only one possible attempt due to the lack of elevator controls on the top floor).

References[edit]

  • In the Halo 3 level, Floodgate, there is another Crazed Marine, though this one won't shoot at the player. Instead, he points the pistol at his head occasionally, contemplating suicide.
  • The line "I have a bad feeling about this" is another homage to Aliens or Star Wars.
  • The swamps are covered by some kind of glowing plants. Similar plants may be seen in High Charity in Halo 2.

Miscellaneous[edit]

Mendoza standing in the upper area of the swamp.
  • Mendoza can be found as a Hidden Marine in the upper area of the swamp if the player prevents the scripted exit from the Pelican by continuously throwing grenades out of the Pelican.
  • This is one of three levels in the entire Halo trilogy where Needler ammunition magazines can be seen and used, the others being the Halo 2 multiplayer map Uplift, and the level Quarantine Zone.
  • At the start of the level, the Flood that run into the mist at the big tree and the hill will appear as yellow blips, indicating that they are allies. This may be an error by the motion sensor, as later on in the game, they become enemies. Another possible explanation is that the Friend-Or-Foe tags that are still embedded inside the Flood forms, which could possibly be mutated Marines, however on closer inspection, all of the Flood forms encountered are Elite Combat Forms. This adds to the mystery and tension of the setting, creating an atmosphere of fear in the player, as well as a foreshadowing of things to come. Of course, it could also have been made that way so they would not attack the player.
  • During the first chapter of the level, corpses will spawn in the swamp when the player is at some point of the inside of the installation. Walk back outside before the Private Jenkins helmet cam cutscene and bodies of Marines will be scattered through the lower level of the swamp. If one can make it to the upper level of the swamp (around Mendoza and such), one will find corpses of Covenant and Human Flood Combat Forms.
  • If players examine the floor to the right of the unlocked containment door, the player can find the neural chip that the Master Chief tossed aside after the "last recording" cutscene. However, it will disappear as if it was a particle over a short period of time.
  • If the player doesn't enter the installation in this level and choose to linger in the swamps, they can hear in the background Flood gurgles and howls.
  • This level is one of the few rare campaign levels with red team and blue team symbols. They can be found near the first Flood encounter area and at any similar areas in the level.
  • If the player returns to the elevator they entered the structure after meeting the Flood, looking up to where the elevator is, the player can clearly observe that it is on fire and damaged. Activating it will result in debris of it falling down to the shaft, and the Halo soundtrack Lament for Pvt. Jenkins will play again.
    • If the player is using Acrophobia Skull, the player can get out of the facility only to find corpses almost everywhere, mainly Grunts. Upon reaching the Landing Zone, the player can find a Pelican is holding position at where the Pelican carrying Sergeant Johnson stops before fast-forwarding. The player can board it as a passenger, but the Pelican won't move.
  • It is possible to save the marines at the facility's bottom level from being killed. However, they will not follow the player any further. Instead, they will run in circles, occasionally dropping to one knee for a moment, and repeat the phrases: "I'm not sticking around to get killed.", "I'm gone, man!", "I'm out of here!", "You can't stop them!", "Forget this!", "Later, dude." and "This is suicide, man!" These lines are said by the Crewmen on UNSC Pillar of Autumn. On a rare occasion, the surviving Marines will follow the player into the next room, but immediately retreat following a brief moment.
  • This is the final level of Halo: Combat Evolved in which Marines are seen alive (with the exception of the non-canon Legendary ending on The Maw featuring Johnson).
  • The swamp area in the end of the level was later re-used for the multiplayer map Backwash in Halo 2.
  • Playing the level with the Grunt Funeral Skull active in Halo Anniversary causes the Grunt corpses to detonate immediately after they spawn. This results in the player hearing explosions as they proceed further into the complex.
  • This, and the subsequent level The Library, are the only levels where the player will not encounter any Covenant Elites.

However, since the Autumn made a blind jump and straight into combat, no battle or field equipment was recalibrated. For that same reason, "north" on an assault rifle's built-in compass simply defaulted (per instructions from Keyes) to the largest visible source of gravity and magnetism - Threshold. The Earth-normal date was in fact September, in spite of what local equipment displayed. If poor old Jenkins had survived, his equipment would have been reset on the next (deliberate) jump."
