Transcript

Part 01: Outskirts

(Three Pelicans rocket away from In Amber Clad, jet engines thundering, and spear out towards New Mombasa. The Assault Carrier hovers high over the city, Gravity Lift engaged.)

Cortana (Radio): The message just repeats. 'Regret, Regret, Regret.'

(The Master Chief watches from the stern of a Pelican as the clouds roll by below.)

Commander Keyes (Radio): Catchy. Any idea what it means?

Sergeant Johnson (Radio): (as the dropships approach the outskirts of Mombasa, passing over a convoy of Warthogs) Dear Humanity... we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth.

(Inside the cockpit of the Pelican, Johnson leans against the bulkhead behind the two pilots.)

Sergeant Johnson: And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!

Pilots (in unison): Hoo-rah!

Cortana (Radio): Regret is a name, Sergeant. The name of one of the Covenant's religious leaders. A Prophet. He's on that carrier, and he's calling for help.

(A Marine sniper/spotter team lies prone on a rooftop, and the Pelicans pass over their position.)

Marine (Radio): Immediate; Grid kilo 23 is hot. Recommend mission abort.

Pilot (Radio): Roger, recon. (To Sergeant Johnson) It's your call, Sarge.

Sergeant Johnson: We're going in. Get tactical, Marines!

Lord Hood (radio): Master Chief, get aboard that carrier, and secure the Prophet of Regret. This is the only place on Earth the Covenant decided to land. That Prophet is going to tell us why.

Pilot: Thirty seconds out... stand by to... whoa...

(The pilot goes silent as a huge walking tank comes into view. Its leg spears a bus, and then its main gun focuses and fires, giving the lead Pelican a glancing blow. The two other Pelicans veer off, plasma turrets on the tank's bank tracking them. The lead Pelican flips inverted, hits a building, and slides through a low brick wall, before blacking out the frame.)

(Your view is blurry, and Cortana fakes tapping on your visor)

Cortana: Hey... wake up.

Sergeant Johnson: Shake it off, Marines. Clear the crash site. Go, go, go!

Part 02: They'll Regret That Too

(As you arrive at a bombed-out building and a firefight breaks out)

Corporal Perez: Corporal Perez A company,cp's this way.

'(as you go past some med tents)

Cortana:Who's in charge now corporal?

Corporal Perez: Sergeant Banks maam,he's pinned down out front,come on i'll show you!

(as you pass some marines)

marine 1:no behind that sd!

marine 2:three more left!

marine 1: I'm runnin low man!

(as you come to a balcony Perez peeks around a corner)

Perez:Is it clear?

(as an explosion happens)

marine 3: You tell me

Part 03: A Day at the Beach

Marine 3: Oh man, I love the beach...

Marine 2: I hope you packed a suit, mate!

Cortana (Radio): Cut the chatter... we got trouble.

(As you negotiate the beach)

Commander Keyes (Radio): Chief... the carrier just launched a wave of pods. They're inbound on your position.

(Covenant Orbital Insertion Pods slam down on the beach all around you, and armed Elites spring from them)

Cortana: This tunnel leads up to the bridge. It's full of rats if you know what I mean, but it beats swimming.

(As you move into the highway tunnel)

Cortana: I've been analyzing the Covenant tactical chatter. They're surprised, confused... I don't think they expected us to be here. Not... you and me, all of us... humanity, on Earth. Odd, I know, but it does help explain why they came here with such a small fleet.

Part 04: Speed Zone Ahead

(When you come across a group of Shadows in the tunnels)

Cortana: The Covenant must be trying to regroup. Don't let them.

(Once you approach the exit of the tunnel, the level transitions)

Walkthrough

Normal Walkthrough

Speed Run Walkthrough

Note: This walkthrough require correct Grenade Jumping, precision in everything and... speed. This walkthrough is based on the current fastest Speed Run at High Speed Halo, Fully_Synthetic and Chad's 4:43 Legendary Co-Op run, with a bit of minor editing as I personally deem fit to allow for Single-Player use. It may be altered as and when faster runs emerge. Certain portions detailed here may only take place on Legendary and alternate methods, not detailed here, will be necessary in such events.

Weapons Caches

The first one is on the second story of the main structure in the first plaza. og on the second sotry and chek under the stairs.
Another on is found after you encounter the Brutes. Go through the doors and go to you reach the two crates stached on top of eachother. Jump on top and turn right. You should see some bodies. Go towards them and you should see the ammo.
Another is very close to the above cache. When upby the bodies you should see a broken street light. Jump between it and the wall to get the ammo.
If you go to the building with the two Jackal Snipers on the bottom floor there are several Battle Rifle clips as well as the gun.
An SMG cache is found in a balcony. It comtains four or five boxes of ammo and a Battle rifle.
