Tip of The Spear is the fifth Campaign level in Halo: Reach.[1][2]

Upon completing the level on Normal or higher, the player will unlock the To War achievement and 10 Gamerscore.

Summary

The level began with Noble Six fighting alongside Catherine-B320, Noble Team's second-in-command in a large counter-attack against the Covenant, and later Jorge-052 to destroy a large tower that was powering an electromagnetic shield around a Covenant base.[3] Later in the mission, Noble Six was shot down and had to complete part of the mission on foot.[4]
