Gawk at the galaxy in the [[cutscene]], and then head back inside. (Alternatively, if you need a new Plasma Cannon and happen to have a Brute Shot, you can empty it on the side of the attacking Phantom to get a Plasma Cannon.) If you have any Marines left, they might die here unless you gave them some heavy weapons. The noob combo is useful here - you can quickly tear through the defending Brutes that way, before the Plasma Cannon-wielding [[Brute Chieftain]] even arrives. The combo also takes out his flunkies, after which he's relatively trivial—stick his cannon with a grenade, or beat him to death, or let your Marine rocket him, or... Next, you'll encounter a large group of Brute Stalkers with [[Radar Jammer]]s. (You will also see a Brute Chieftain with a [[Gravity Hammer]], but he will leave and let his Stalkers attack you.) The Stalkers are extremely sessile, so you can probably walk right up to them (open doors are a good hint of their proximity) and melee them to death. You might even get [[Cloaking]] from one of them. | Gawk at the galaxy in the [[cutscene]], and then head back inside.

Also, if you are fast and have a Fuel Rod Gun, you can go right and quickly jump down to the lower level and kill the retreating Chieftain before he finishes exiting. (He is scripted to fall back, so he will not put up a fight.) A decent player should be able to pull it off on [[Easy]], Normal and [[Heroic]]. However, this tactic is inadvisable on [[Legendary]] as it will leave you in the middle of an empty room with very little cover, surrounded by a fairly large group of cloaked Brutes.

The next hallway leads directly to an outdoor area, where a Brute Chieftain sermonizes his [[pack]] of [[Jump Pack Brute]]s. If, at this point, your Marines are still alive and are wielding power weapons, then they will prove to be extremely helpful; they will often manage to take out all of the normal Brutes as well as their Jackal allies. The Brute Chieftain, however, is another matter. In addition to possessing a Gravity Hammer, this Chieftain also possesses [[Invincibility]], which he will happily update should he start to take too much damage. However, he can still be assassinated (if you have Cloaking on hand, and are careful not to bump into him), and a grenade stuck to his hammer will also easily dispatch him. You can also wait until the invincibility wears off and hit him with a fire grenade. | The next hallway leads directly to an outdoor area, where a Brute Chieftain sermonizes his [[pack]] of [[Jump Pack Brute]]s.
