| '''Metropolis''' is the third playable level in ''[[Halo 2]]''. It is also the first level where you drive the [[Scorpion Tank]] and the first level with [[Wraiths]] and [[Banshees]]. Metropolis is 1 of 2 levels where you can aquire the [[Warthog|Gauss Warthog]] (the other being [[Quarantine Zone]]). It takes place in [[New Mombasa]], and starts as soon as the player emerges from the highway tunnel that was the last part of [[Outskirts]].
| |
| | |
| In this stage, the [[Master Chief]] and two [[Marine|Marines]] must battle across a long bridge guarded by [[Covenant]] forces and another but shorter tunnel. After that, there is a small park, where another Marine-controlled [[Warthog]] lurks, and an open urban area with [[Wraith|Wraiths]], before going onto catwalks attached to buildings in order to attempt to board the [[Scarab]] and take out the Covenant piloting it.

| | |
| ''(You start out next to the [[Scorpion|tank]], holding a [[Battle Rifle]], and an [[M7 Caseless Sub Machine Gun|SMG]] as a sidearm, and an [[Warthog|All-Terrain 50-cal Warthog]] to your right. Take the [[Warthog]] if you want speed, or the [[Scorpion]] if you like heavy artillery, or better yet, both, if you're playing Multiplayer. The bridge stretches out in front of you. The burning skyline with the [[Covenant]] [[Assault Carrier]] hovering over it is visible in the distance. The bridge is strewn with the wreckage of cars, trucks and buses. A multitude of [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghosts]] patrol the bridge, as well as a [[Covenant]] [[Wraith]] tank.''
| |
| | |
| ''About halfway across, [[Banshee|Banshees]] swoop in for an attack from either side, and three [[Phantom|Phantoms]] fly by, deploying troops and another [[Wraith]] tank. A lone [[Marine]] (or two, if one of the two accompanying you was killed) stationed on the bridge joins you and the other 2 [[Marine|Marines]] (If you took the [[Scorpion]]). At the other end of the bridge, a group of [[Banshee|Banshees]] flies in over the rooftops.)''
| |
| | |
| ''(As you approach the second speed tunnel)there are banshees too
| |
| | |
| '''[[Cortana]]:''' That's quite a welcome party.
| |
| | |
| ''(A pack of [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghosts]] skitters into view and opens fire on you. They are soon joined by a pair of [[Wraith]] tanks who come in from the nearby highway tunnel, as well as another pair of [[Banshee|Banshees]].''
| |
| | |
| ''You enter the highway tunnel meeting little resistance until a barrier supposedly prevents you from taking your vehicle any further. A [[Warthog]] pulls up and joins your cause, while a trio of [[Jackal|Jackals]] stationed on the barrier fire down at you.)''

| ''(You enter a dark, wreckage and [[Covenant]] strewn section of the highway tunnel. A pair of [[Elite|Elites]] and a large group of [[Grunt|Grunts]] attack, while a pair of [[Jackal]] snipers fire on you from a distance with their [[Beam Rifle|Beam Rifles]]. At the end of the tunnel, more [[Grunt|Grunts]] and [[Elite|Elites]] attack, as well as another trio of [[Jackal|Jackals]].

| |
| | |
| ''([[Sergeant Stacker]] drives you into another courtyard, where a few [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghosts]], a pair of [[Jackal]] snipers, a veteran [[Elite]], and a [[Wraith]] tank guard the tunnel at the far end. Another pair of [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghosts]] enters the fray, and once they're dead, [[Sergeant Stacker|Stacker]] drives you into a large room with a waterfall, and then out into the streets of [[New Mombasa]].''

| ''You come upon a [[Marine]] outpost that is under siege by a trio of [[Wraith]] tanks and [[Jackal]] snipers, while a fellow group of [[Marine|Marines]] on a [[Warthog]] valiantly defends. A [[Phantom]] delivers a pair of [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghosts]], but they are neutralized easily.''

| == Easy/Normal difficulty ==
| |
| Okay, so here is the level walkthrough for the level Metropolis, on Normal difficulty.
| |
| | |
| So, start off by getting into the Scorpion tank. Wait for the Marines to hitch a ride on the treads, then roll on out over the bridge.
| |
| Tons and tons of Ghosts will attack as you climb it, attempting to waylay you. Fire a shell at them to disable them. If they don't explode, either pump a second shot into them, or bathe them in machine gun fire.
| |
| | |
| At the apex of the bridge a Wraith is waiting for you. Strafe to the side, while pumping shells into the tank, and when it explodes continue.
| |
| Watch out for a Banshee that will attack you as you go down the other side. It is deadly to the Marines. Pump a well-aimed shell into it.
| |
| | |
| Bout that, if you are really really in deep crap when facing the ghosts, you can bombard the wraith as soon as you start using the tank, it saves a lot of trouble later.
| |
| | |
| As you continue, a Phantom will show up. Fire a couple of shells at it to disable it's weaponry.
| |
| A second one will show up, carrying a Wraith. Aim for the tank, and blow it up. If you don't then it will be dropped off at the bottom of the bridge, and that would be bad.
| |
| | |
| Very bad.
| |
| | |
| So, get to the bottom of the bridge, and prepare yourself for a welcome party. I'll bring the moonshine! Ahem... Sorry...
| |
| So, get ready for a wing of Banshees to attack. Shoot them down, then turn your attention to the Ghosts and Wraiths that came out of the tunnel.
| |
| | |
| Deal with them, then continue. Beware of the Banshee reinforcements, though.
| |
| | |
| Roll on down the tunnel, killing off a pair of Grunts and an Elite.
| |
| Eventually a Warthog will come down from a tunnel, and speed up towards a barricade.
| |
| Use tank shells to kill off the squad of Jackals on top of the barricade, then drive the tank forwards until the Marines say something catchy, then jump off the tank.
| |
| Hop off yourself, and swap your SMG for the Marine's Shotgun.
| |
| Go over the ramp, and jump down onto the road. Waste as much Shotgun ammunition as possible on the aliens here, we'll be dropping it soon. Swap to the Rifle if needed. Watch out for snipers that will attempt to... snipe you.
| |
| | |
| Take out the troops on the ground, then jump up onto the civilian platform to the right.
| |
| Toss a frag into the tight alleyway, then charge through, firing the shotgun.
| |
| Sprint over the barricade, but watch out for Jackals that may be on the other side.
| |
| | |
| Swap the Shotgun for a Beam Rifle, then go up into some service areas.
| |
| | |
| Swap to the Beam Rifle, and melee the conveniently placed Jackal sniper in the back of the head. When he falls immediately zoom in and headshot the Grunt manning the turret.
| |
| Continue to snipe out the rest of the visible enemies, then jump down and see if you can find the Gauss Warthog.
| |
| | |
| So, jump into the Warthog's driver seat, get Sarge to man the turret, and drive off. Make sure the rest of the enemies are dead, then continue, through the holes in the wall, into a courtyard. Watch out for the Wraith positioned here. Board it, knock out the driver, and take control.
| |
| Continuous pairs of Ghosts will come down from the rooftops. Wraith 'em.
| |
| | |
| Before moving on, go back and grab the Rocket Launcher lying on the ground beside it's dead owner, then jump back in the tank.
| |
| See if you can squeeze through the archway. If not, move next to a wall and launch a mortar to knock off multiple parts of the Wraith, including the two boosters at the wingtips that impede your progress.
| |
| Drive through the archway, around the nice indoor waterfall, then out into a city-square.
| |
| | |
| Turn up to the right to find a pair of Wraiths besieging [[A-Company]], who have taken shelter in a command post next to [[Tterrab Industries]].
| |
| Use mortar blasts to take out the pair of Wraiths, then aim up as a Phantom attacks. Fire a couple of mortars at the bottom of the Phantom to destroy the plasma cannons and the pair of Ghosts. The Phantom will retreat.
| |
| | |
| Now go up the back alley to the left to find a Rocket Launcher plus some useful ammo. Take it, then go back to the bunker to make contact with Corporal Perez.
| |
| Go up to the command post to meet Sergeant Banks, and watch a Scorpion Tank get destroyed by the Scarab's mighty plasma cannon.
| |
| | |
| Okay, inventory check: Battle Rifle and fully loaded Rocket Launcher. Got 'em? Good. Don't got 'em? Get 'em.
| |
| | |
| Go up the stairs to the left, and come to a door where a Marine will be waiting to escort you.
| |
| Go up the stairs, onto a large water channel.
| |
| There is a large amount of weapons here, including too many Rocket Packs to count, Sniper Rifles, and about thirty BR packs.
| |
| | |
| Generally the safest strategy is to launch rockets at the infantry platform from the walkway. Use the Battle Rifle too if necessary. Use it for Grunts or unshielded Elites. Multiple waves of troops will emerge from the depths of the Scarab, and they are as follows:
| |
| | |
| First there are a couple of Minor Elites, Grunts and Jackals.
| |
| | |
| Next a group of snipers will emerge, accompanied by mixed Covenant.
| |
| | |
| The most deadly wave is to come now.
| |
| Nearly five Major Elites will emerge. Most have dual Plasma Rifles.
| |
| Watch out for the plasma shots that they will fire at you on the walkway.
| |
| | |
| Majors dead? Good.
| |
| | |
| The Scarab will come to the edge of a large dam, and won't be able to continue. This is your chance.
| |
| Run to the end of the walkway, and grab the turret. Kill off any remaining Covenant, launch a few remaining rockets, then swap the Launcher for one of the nearby Shotguns leaning against the wall.
| |
| | |
| Leap down onto the Scarab, kicking through the Covenant bodies, and jump down the ramp into the cockpit.
| |
| Pick off a pair of Ultra Grunts with the Battle Rifle, and fire at the Ultra Elite that will emerge.
| |
| | |
| Be careful with this guy. He can fire his Plasma Rifle with great speed and accuracy, but if you lower his health, he will pull out an Energy Sword. Use the shotgun to kill him if he gets too close, kill the Majors, and the level is finished!
| |
| | |
| ===Speed Runthrough===
| |
| | |
| Hop in the warthog, let the marines jump in, and drive, ignoring anything in your way. Except for the giant hole in the bridge. And the barriers. Anyways, reach the end of the bridge, drive through the tunnel, and reach the massive barrier. Take the [[M90 Shotgun]] from the female marine who drives up, losing the SMG, and head up. Throw grenades into any clusters of soldiers you see, head forward with the shotgun, and blast anything you see. Head through the tunnel, pull out your Battle Rifle, and drop off the edge of the cliff, landing by the Warthog. Toss [[Sergeant Stacker]] out of the driver's seat, hop in, wait for him to get back in on gunner, and drive to the exit. Drive around and have Stacker blast any of the Ghosts and Wraiths in the way. Don't bother waiting around for them to be annihilated, just drive through. Once you've exited, head right, then left, then blow up the Wraiths. Jump out of the warthog, head up with Corporal Perez and Sergeant Stacker, and meet up with [[Sergeant Banks]]. Run up to the massive armory and grab a Shotgun and Sniper Rifle. While the [[Scarab]] approaches, and shoot as many Covenant as you can see. Once the Scarab stops running, swap the Rifle out for a Rocket Launcher and put a few volleys onto the Scarab. By now, most victims are probably dead. Jump in with the Shotgun and blast anything still moving. Head below and provoke the scary white sword elite. Run back up before he charges you and drop a grenade into the single entrance to the below deck. If he's still alive, shoot him a couple times. Now head back down and use the launcher to kill the [[Major Domo Elite|major elites]]. Victory!

| == Trivia ==
| |
| | |
| *The Catch [[Halo 2 Skulls|Skull]] is found on this level.
| |
| *It's possible to save the tank that gets destroyed. Instead of going up the stairs on foot, take a [[Ghost (vehicle)|Ghost]] and drive off the roof and get the Marine out of the tank and reverse.
| |
| *The Marine that gives you the [[Shotgun]] in this level is voiced by [[wikipedia:Laura Prepon|Laura Prepon]].
| |
| *It is possible to get the tank over the stuck doors in the tunnel (As it is with a warthog or ghost). The first is rather easy, the second takes a bit of positioning. However, beyond that, you'll have to continue on foot(Or use a warthog or ghost, as they will fit in the pipe).
| |
| *You can get the ghost into the building with all the marines. When you get to the part with the tank being blown up, boost and get into the tank. The driver will have no armor, weapons, and occasionally, no face.
| |
| *If you take the wraith tank on the bridge, and use the mortar on the Phantom that carries another wraith, dropping the wraith. If you keep hitting that phantom with the mortar, it will get "stuck" on the cables holding up the bridge. The phantom cannot be destroyed, like others in halo 2, but repeated shots with the mortar will slide it slightly on the cable it gets stuck on.
