==Summary==
==Summary==
The level is mainly set in a rocky region on the surface of the [[shield world]] [[Requiem]], as well as a series of [[Forerunner]] structures, including two relay pylons and a satellite station inside the shell enveloping the shield world. The prototype UNSC warship {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} has arrived near Requiem to investigate [[Cortana]]'s [[emergency locator beacon|distress beacon]], and the [[John-117|Master Chief]] must disable two beam towers that are causing communications interference preventing Cortana from contacting the ''Infinity'' in order to warn the ship about Requiem's defenses. During the level, the player faces opposition from both the [[Promethean]]s occupying the shield world as well as [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant remnant]] forces. The assault on the first pylon primarily involves combat on foot, while the second one is more vehicle-focused. After deactivating the second beam tower, the Chief uses a series of [[teleporter|translocation portals]] to reach what Cortana assumes to be a relay satellite, while Covenant remnant warships converge on the same location; instead of a communications relay, however, the satellite turns out to house a [[Cryptum]].<ref>[http://youtu.be/JylkzGSfnn4 '''YouTube''': ''Eurogamer Expo 2012 - Halo 4 Developer Session with Frank O'Connor'']</ref> The finale of the level introduces the primary antagonist of the game,<ref name="x360a">[http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-13009-Halo-4-Campaign-Hands-On-Preview---The-Hardest-Halo-Yet?-Me-Thinks-So- '''Xbox 360 Achievements''': ''Halo 4 Campaign Hands-On Preview - The Hardest Halo Yet?
