'''Quarantine Zone''' is the eleventh [[campaign]] level of ''[[Halo 2]]'', which follows up immediately from the end of [[Sacred Icon (level)|Sacred Icon]]. The [[Arbiter]], [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee, must battle his way past [[Forerunner]] [[Sentinels]] and vehicle-using [[Flood]] to reach the [[Library]]'s [[Index Chamber]]. | '''Quarantine Zone''' is the eleventh [[campaign]] level of ''[[Halo 2]]'', which follows up immediately from the end of [[Sacred Icon (level)|Sacred Icon]].

==Production notes== | |||
[[Flood Juggernaut]]s were initially intended to appear in the level. They would be introduced at the canyon before the Arbiter enters the cave leading to the crashed sentinel factory. In early design documents, the cave was a wall with "Flood crust" that contain Juggernauts, which would burst out of the crust or burst out from its debris if players destroy the crust. Three additional walls with "crusts" were envisioned for the area. While two were replaced with bottomless pits that now spawn Flood combat forms, the third wall was positioned at what has now become a dead end at the rightmost portion of the canyon; it would have blocked access to a tunnel that leads to the next area, forcing players to destroy the curst and release a Flood Juggernaut. Allied Wraiths would have accompanied the player and fired mortar bolts from a distance until it is safe to advance.{{Ref/Book|AoH|Page=142}} Based on files existing in the final game, there is a second encounter with Juggernauts upon exiting the factory. Bungie initially intended for the player to stumble across a Flood Juggernaut mercilessly butchering a trio of marines, who were defending a Scorpion tank. This is confirmed further by the fact marine spawn points were listed in this area, but they do not appear as they were cut. There is even cut dialogue located in the map files of Rtas 'Vadumee expressing pity for these humans.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=Jugg|-cbVFPJVFo0|The Vengeful 'Vadam|I Brought Halo 2's Cut Flood Juggernaut Back Into The Campaign!|D=03|M=11|Y=2023}} | |||

*Because Quarantine Zone is the second part of a two-part level, your weapons will carry over from [[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]], unless one of your weapons was a [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]] or [[Magnum#Halo_2_and_Halo_2:_Anniversary|Magnum]], or if you were equipped with both types of Sentinel Beams. If you finish Sacred Icon with a Rocket Launcher you will start Quarantine Zone with a Covenant Carbine and an Energy Sword. | *Because Quarantine Zone is the second part of a two-part level, your weapons will carry over from [[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]], unless one of your weapons was a [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]] or [[Magnum#Halo_2_and_Halo_2:_Anniversary|Magnum]], or if you were equipped with both types of Sentinel Beams.

*At the end of the level, there are about a dozen [[Infection Forms]] that will not attack you, and you can even get them to crawl on you. If you follow them, they will go to the place that you are supposed to go and disappear. | *At the end of the level, there are about a dozen [[Infection Forms]] that will not attack you, and you can even get them to crawl on you.

*If the final cutscene, "That Old, Familiar Feeling..." is viewed in classic graphics, one can see a mistake at the part where Miranda begins firing upon The Arbiter after he headbutts Johnson. The Arbiter's right arm not only seems to be armorless and seemingly out of socket, but his elbow also bends in the wrong direction. This mistake is not seen for the rest of the cutscene. | *If the final cutscene, "That Old, Familiar Feeling..." is viewed in classic graphics, one can see a mistake at the part where Miranda begins firing upon The Arbiter after he headbutts Johnson.

*The | *The name of the last chapter ("That Old Familiar Feeling") references the fact that the section's layout is virtually identical to the Library level from ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. The title was clearly intended to inspire a "familiar feeling" of dread, as the original level was infamous as one of the hardest in the first game. | ||
*The name of the first chapter "Objects in Mirror Are Larger Than They Appear" is a reference to all of the vehicle use in the chapter with the title being what is seen on the mirrors of modern-day vehicles. | |||

*If you quickly run off the Gondola into the hallway, you can hear [[SMG]] fire in the distance. If you use the Sputnik Skull to get to the human's gondola before entering the last area of the level, you can enter it through another entrance and see SMGs hovering just outside the tunnel leading to the center chamber. These SMGs fire in spontaneous bursts, and you can even pick them up, but they will continue firing random bursts and be unresponsive to pressing the trigger. | *If you quickly run off the Gondola into the hallway, you can hear [[SMG]] fire in the distance.

*By using the Sputnik skull and some good jumping with the Rocket Launcher, it is possible to skip parts of the map, including spawn triggers. In doing this, you can skip the spawning of your allies at the part right before the gondola ride, as well as any enemy spawn points. In doing this, the cutscene that normally takes place on the gondola will not activate, and you will be able to explore the gondola and even activate the switch. However, the switch does not start the gondola, and you cannot go back outside once you get on the gondola. Strangely, the switch is not a gondola switch like the ones in the level Regret, but actually an elevator switch from the underwater elevator at that same level. | *By using the Sputnik skull and some good jumping with the Rocket Launcher, it is possible to skip parts of the map, including spawn triggers.
