The [[Master Chief]] is en route to a UNSC field command post turned field hospital to assist the marines in destroying an [[Stationary Plasma Mortar|artillery cannon]] and securing the area. The [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] lands and Master Chief exits with a few ODST's to be introduced to CPL who takes him through the field hospital to where [[Sergeant Banks]] is.
The [[Master Chief]] is en route to a UNSC field command post turned field hospital to assist the marines in destroying an [[Stationary Plasma Mortar|artillery cannon]] and securing the area. The [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] lands and Master Chief exits with a few ODST's to be introduced to CPL Perez who takes him through the field hospital to where [[Sergeant Banks]] is.


The Master Chief proceeds through the camp witnessing the new animations of allied AIs. He then passes through a destroyed building housing a Marine heavy Machine gun team and [[Sergeant Banks]]. Both are pinned down by Covenant forces. The Sergeant then calls in an airstrike on the [[Stationary Plasma Mortar|artillery cannon]]. A flight of Longsword fighters promptly complies, launching a successful bombing run on the cannon. After the airstrike has occurred Banks gives the player his SMG, an introduction to the new feature of [[Dual-Wielding]]. Using his new weapons, the Chief clears the area of Covenant troops before moving over a pile a debris and into a open street.

In the street there is a packed group of about seven Jackals with shields. Upon spotting the Chief they form a phalanx and begin to open fire with their plasma pistols. After a few moments of shooting the group of Jackals are splattered by a pair of [[Warthog]]s. One of the Warthogs is the new [[Gauss Warthog]], the driver instructs the Master Chief to man the Gauss Cannon on the back. Upon Chief's entering the turret, Warthogs drive around the street areas which are incidentally quite similar to the streets before the [[Scarab]] attack in the ''Halo 2'' level, [[Metropolis]]. After the Chief destroys a few [[Shadow]]s and [[Ghost]]s, the Warthog is boarded by a [[Brute]] who kills the Marines in the passenger and driver seat, prompting the Chief to exit the vehicle to take action against the boarder.

The Master Chief quickly kills the Brute with his battle rifle and a few of his comrades before being alerted by [[Cortana]] of a fast approaching [[Ghost]]. Chief proceeds to board this vehicle by hijacking the Ghost, introducing yet another new ''Halo 2'' feature.

The Chief proceeds to wreck havoc on the Covenant troops in the area before he is instructed by Cortana to escape the area via a tunnel which leads to a bridge. The demo then cuts then changes to a cutscene of two Brutes on Ghosts chasing the Chief through the tunnel. As a sign declaring "Highway access denied" flashes. the automatic doors at the end of the tunnel begin to close. In response to this small crisis Master Chief speeds up, barely making it through the remaining space between the closing doors, although in the process his Ghost crashes, disgorging him upon the ground. However the two pursuing Brutes are not so lucky. The door closes completely before the get to it and a shot from the outside of the tunnel shows the two explosions caused by the crash of the Brutes' Ghosts.

Just after Cortana points out a Covenant ship in the sky, a barrage of glowing drop pods begin to land around the Chief. Elites step out of these Drop Pods and draw their [[Energy Sword]]s. Chief responds holstering one of his SMGs and charging up a [[Plasma Grenade]]. Cortana, noting Chief's action, teasingly says "bet you can't stick it" to which the Master Chief responds "You're on." With this, the demo ends.
