[[UNSC Marine]] forces, led by [[John-117]], fight through several pitched skirmishes through the industrial zone of Voi. | ||
After breaking through the industrial area, John-117 meets up with a group of approximately five [[Mongoose]] ATVs and commandeers one with a [[Marine]] riding 'pillion' using a M41 [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|Rocket Launcher]]. They immediately engage a squadron of [[Anti-Air Wraith]] tanks to secure a landing zone as [[Brute Chopper]]s and [[Ghost]]s attack. The Covenant are being continually reinforced by [[Phantom]]s. [[Hornet]]s and [[Banshee]]s fly above, vying for control of the skies. Although they manage to take the landing zone, the victory ends up being short-lived as a [[Scarab]] arrives to crush the UNSC forces. After John-117 destroys the massive walker, remaining UNSC forces prepare to push into a [[Brute]]-controlled warehouse. | After breaking through the industrial area, John-117 meets up with a group of approximately five [[Mongoose]] ATVs and commandeers one with a [[Marine]] riding 'pillion' using a M41 [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|Rocket Launcher]].

*When IWHBYD is active, if one listens to one of the construction workers as they are fighting, every now and then, they might say "I'm a cowardly fool!". This is a reference to a Pillar of Autumn Command Crewman in their fetal position in Halo: Combat Evolved. It's even the same recording/voice. | *When IWHBYD is active, if one listens to one of the construction workers as they are fighting, every now and then, they might say "I'm a cowardly fool!".
