O Introduction of Halo 2
|_______________________________________________________
|
Well, Bungie really threw one on us. This game is a |
lot better than the first one, I mean A LOT. But, |
the
single
-player mode is kind of short, unless you |
play it on Legendary, then it takes forever. You |
see, Bungie threw the Master Chief into a whole new |
place of death and destruction, but the isn't that |
hard, and it is really annoying at times. Oh yea, |
Bungie is letting us play with an Elite known as the |
Arbiter, which he gets tortured in the beginning, but |
I won't get into that, cause I mean, don't want to |
spoil this "great" game do we? |

O How To Play
|_______________________________________________________
|
Ok, since you all mostly know how to play this game, |
considering you SHOULD have played the first Halo, |
*cough cough* you should pretty much know how to play |
the game, but in case you were stupid and got Halo 2 |
without getting Halo, look in your manual for your |
controls, cause I'm just lazy. |
|
O Quickstart |
|_______________________________________________ |
| |
Ok now what am I supposed to do in this | |
section, oh yea....I have to tell you about | |
the wonders of the starting menu. It's like | |
this: you have your Campaign mode at the top,| |
and Xbox Live right below that. Well you | |
better have Xbox Live if you want to have fun | |
with this game. Below that you've got your | |
good ol' fashion Multiplayer mode, or as | |
Bungie likes to call it, Split Screen (weird).| |
Below that you have your System Link thing. | |
You would think Bungie would save some space | |
and put System Link in with Split Screen | |
(still weird) but then again who cares? At | |
last, you've got your settings, where you can | |
go edit the Gametypes and whatnot. | |
| |
_____________| |
O______________/ |
|
|
O Controls |
|_______________________________________________ |
| |
Ok this is where you learn how to play the | |
game using a little device I like to call the | |
controller (very handy by the way). You | |
should have bought Halo and got the controls | |
that way, or you can be a little newbie and | |
read your little manual, I don't really care. | |
But for you people that know the controls | |
you shall learn the cool part about Halo 2's | |
new control system (I like that word). Bungie| |
really made this game better. Like now you | |
can board vehicles and dual-weild and stuff | |
like that. Here is a list of the cool stuff: | |
| |
Boarding Vehicles: Hold X | |
Boarding is really cool, you get to kick the | |
little pieces of crap off their vehicle and | |
take it for yourself. Wariths require more | |
button-pushing though, you have to constantly | |
melee the door with B until it breaks, then | |
push L to throw a grenade in and X to quickly | |
jump off. | |
| |
Dual-Weild: Hold Y over a dual weapon | |
Wow, it just keeps getting better and better. | |
Dual-Weilding is awesome hands down, because | |
it can save your butt if your on Legendary | |
trust me. The best dual-weilding I have ever | |
done was with two
plasma
rifles and two of | |
those kick-butt needlers, they do twice as | |
much damage now (THANK YOU!!!!) | |
| |
Yay! You got the inside "scoop" on Halo 2's | |
awesome new features. | |
| |

Now why is this section here? Could it be a | |
sign of the Apocalypse? No, its to let all | |
you newbs out there no the real truth on how | |
to 'control' your MC Master Chief. | |
Well, just run around and.....shoot like crazy| |
is all I got...... | |

O Campaign Mode

|
This is the okay part about the game. I wasn't crazy |
about the
single
player mode as much as I was Xbox |
Live, but then again thats just me. So here it is, |
the ever so popular Halo 2 Campaign Mode. |

| Okay, let's start things off with a little tutorial shall we? These
| things are more annoying than clipping your fingernails. Do the
| targeting thing and then the Energy Shield Test. After the test,
| Sergeant Major A. J. Johnson will appear at the elevator to collect
| you for some ceremony. Follow him into the elevator and get out as
| as soon as it stops and enter the train. When you exit the train, a
| cutscene will begin with some ceremony. You will then be interrupted
| by Cortana because of incoming Covenant Cruisers and a capital ship.
|
| Get ready, cause your about to battle! When you gain control of the
| chief go down the steps ahead of you and grab the Battle Rifle and
| the SMG on the wall. I chose to dual-wield the SMGs and if you are
| a cool person like me, you will do the same. Now, before we begin
| the first battle, let me tell you something. There is ammunition
| everywhere. You can't miss it. After the next battle, come back to
| the
room
you are in right now and get your ammo back. Ok, now go on
| through the door and everything until you come to another
room
.
| Below, you will see a door that looks like it can open, but it really
| can't. Look outside and watch the covenant boarding craft to board
| the Cairo and get ready for battle! ______________________o

| Ok, you can choose to be a little wuss and get behind something for
| cover (which is what I did on Legendary), or you could just stand
| there. Either way is fine with me. Now, when they bust through,
| start shooting. About three waves will come after you and your so
| called friends. If you are having trouble, hide behind something and
| let Johnson do all the work. He can't die, plus he has a turret.
| You can choose to get some of these weapons, or you could keep yours.
| Go back and get your ammo and stuff and continue on through the old
| busted down door and head to the right. Kill those sorry and so
| pathetic things and go to your right. Head up the steps, and on the
| way you find a dead body with some SMG ammo there.
|
| Through the next door, you will notice some more ammo at the other
| end of the
room
. You have two choices here, go to your left and take
| the turret to kill the enemies and then jump down, or you could keep
| going straight and take the steps down to meet a grunt and a few
| elites. Whichever way you go, go out into the recreational area and
| jump onto the risen platform on the left wall, killing any enemies
| that get into your way. Go through the little door, and head down to
| your right. You should come to two ways you can go. To the left,
| there are about four enemies and to your right there is a
room
full.
| What I did was went back up and out the corridor and took care of the
| enemies across the
room
then went back down and took care of the
| other enemies.
|
| When you get done, go through the left
room
and go up the steps. You
| will come to a hangar bay. Do not jump, but go to your right, get
| the SMG ammo and the frag grenades then keep going and get the
plasma
| grenades then you can jump down there if you like. Take out all of
| the enemies spurting out of the ship. Whenever you hear people
| talking about the Malta, take a peek outisde and watch what happens.
| When that's over, more Covenant will spurt out of the door behind the
| Pelican. Take them out, the continue through that door until you
| come to another hangar bay. Use your battle Rifle to take out the
| Covenant on the above landing, then go in there and finish the rest
| of them. After they are all gone, take a look outside and watch as
| the Athens has a little accident like the Malta. ______________o

|
| Head down into the holes in the floor, and enter the
room
with a crap
| load of Covenant in there. Take them all out, including the two or
| three invisible elites. Collect the SMG ammo if you still have it and
| go through either door, it doesn't matter which. Take out the elite
| there if there is one, then continue up the steps and take care of the
| elites up there. In this Armory, there is a shotgun laying by the
| dead body. You may choose to pick it up but I didn't. The SMGs will
| provide me with enough damage. Continue into the next
room
. Go
| straight ahead and into the little hole. Take out the Grunts there
| and continue along taking out whatever gets in your way. You will
| also see a Grunt operating a
plasma
turret above you. Take it out,
| then head to the left where a gang of Grunts and maybe an elite have
| gathered. Kill those, including the Grunt at the turret, and continue
| up the steps.
|
| When you walk into the next
room
, throw your dual-weild weapon down
| and throw a frag at the door. That should take care of most of the
| baddies that come in. Pick up your dual-wield weapon and continue
| through the ahead door, picking up the ammo on the wall if you need
| it. Keep going ahead and kill the Covenant that are blocking
| Miranda Keyes from her ship. Continue onward, taking out any enemies
| that get in your way. __________________________________o

| \_____/
|
| Whenever yous start this part, the door ahead will open and two elites
| with jetpacks will pop out to stop you in your tracks. Take those out
| and continue on. Jump down, turn around, and follow the path to the
| door and enter. When you exit here, you will see Marines stationed at
| the top of a lift. Walk to the edge, and watch the drones fly towards
| you. Take them out, then jump on the lift and take out the grunts and
| the elites. Start the lift, and head towards the bottom with it. As
| soon as you exit the lift and enter the door, prepare to battle.
|
| Now, hug the left wall and get out your battle rifle. When the door
| opens, peek out and start shooting at the elite in the middle, he is
| using a
plasma
turret. Of course they will notice you, but continue
| to shoot at the stationary elite until it is gone. Run outside and
| take on the jetpack elites with all the force you have. Jump onto
| the platform, but be careful, it drops! If you fall off, you have to
| start over. When the platform is at the high spot, you will see an
| opening to the left with two very thin walls. Jump in between that
| and head towards the door. Whenever you enter, do not face the
| closed door, but face way you came in. This is it, prepare for the
| final battle on the Cairo Station. ____________________o

|
| Ok, so we have a bomb, and a few elites guarding it. No problem
| right? Wrong. These elites have two
Plasma
Rifles and one with a
|
Plasma
rifle and a Needler. You can hide behind the crates and take
| them out one by one or go straight at them with two SMGs. To your
| left, there is an underground part that has some SMG ammo and a dead
| person with an SMG in the tunnel part. Go at it until they are all
| dead. A cutscene will occur where Master Chief diffuses the bomb.
| The next part is really cool, and you've seen it before *wink wink*,
| but I won't spoil for you. ___________________________________o

|
| You will begin this level with an SMG and a Battle Rifle. The Sarge
| holds a Sniper Rifle if you want to trade with him but it isn't highly
| recommended because of the Hunters later on. Anyway, go through the
| door and to your left. Kill the grunt, and continue outside, killing
| anyting in your path. You must hold your position here until evac
| arrives for more support. Continue forward, into a
room
with a
| skylight, and gead up the steps. A few grunts and an elite will pop
| out. Take them out, then exit this part to come to another part with
| a mounted 50Cal. turret. You can choose to man the turret, or take
| them out with your guns. But the turret isn't always an option.
| Sometimes, grunts and elites will pop out of alleyways to the left of
| the turret down in the courtyard. Some will appear on top of the
| buildings to your left and some will appear in the courtyard. Here is
| a list of what Sergeant might say to where enemies are located:
|
| "Here they come. Up High.": An Elite appears on the roof on the left
| side of the turret. The rest come through the two smaller lanes
| under it. On higher difficulty levels, Jackal snipers appear on the
| rooftops and can kill you with a
single
shot.
|
| "More on the street. Left side.": Grunts and Elites will appear on
| the crossing on the left side.
|
| "New
Contact
!" or "Across the street, down low.": Grunts and Elites
| will emerge from the two small alleys.
|
| "We got Jackals in the courtyard.": Jackals and at least one Elite
| appear in the alley leading to the crash site where you came from.
|
| "Buggers heading over the rooftops.": A swarm of Drones appear coming
| over the rooftops ahead of the gun.
|
| After you have killed all of these, a Phantom will double back and
| drop off Grunts and Elites. Shoot the guns as soon as possible then
| when you see something drop start shooting at the ground where the
| enemies landed. After all thats over, point your turret over towards
| the door on the left of the turret in the courtyard. Two hunters will
| blow down the door. As soon as that door is down, start shooting.
| The hunters will die pretty fast by the gun, but if it gets blown up,
| take the Sniper Rifle from Sergeant Johnson and pick them off. Make
| sure you save at least one bullet with the Sniper Rifle though so you
| can get your weapon back and assure that he wont run out of ammo.
|
| Go on through the door and follow the path until you come to the area
| where you see a bunch of Jackals on the ground. If you have left at
| least 2 bullets in the sniper rifle, take that again and pick off the
| Jackal in the back with the sniper rifle. He is mounted to the left
| of the grounded jackals in a little alcove. Get your weapon back, and
| take out that Jackals, or you could let the incoming Pelican do it. I
| don't care. Continue through picking up the Battle Rifle and SMG ammo
| that is laying on the ground. The Battle Rifle ammo is at the left
| wall and the SMG is to the right of that.
|
| Continue on and take out the THREE Sniper Jackals with your Battle
| Rifle. Drones will appear, so take those out as well. Take out any
| remaining enemies and take the first left you can. Let the marines
| take care of the Jackal, but take another left and you will find two
| dead bodies in a corner that have some SMG ammo. Go on outside, take
| out the Grunts and Elites that appear, and continue until you see a
| side-turned vehicle that has SMG ammo behind it. Continue on through
| their and kill the Elites and grunts.
|
| Follow the marine into the dark alley and push (WHITE) to activate
| your flashlight. When you get near the end get in the left
| corridor, turn off your flashlight, and drop your dual-weild weapon
| if your using it. Throw a frag grenade if you have any, then switch
| to
Plasma
and use those when you see an elite run by you, he
| shouldn't notice.
| Continue onward and take a left and kill the grunts. Turn back and go
| up the landing where a Phantom will drop some Covenant. Throw a frag
| at the ground right when they start dropping to kill most of them,
| then finish them off with the guns. A warthog will appear, and you
| get the chance to drive it or you could let them drive it. They will
| be shooting at oncoming ghosts. If you choose to let them drive,
| there is a ghost down near the downed Pelican. ________________o

| \_____/
|
| Get behind the steering whel of the Warthog and wait until the former
| driver has climbed into the passenger seat. Now head off in the
| direction of the tunnel. You can fight against the Covenant forces on
| the beach as you go, but be wary of the snipers stationed on the
| floating watchtowers. This mission objective is completed as soon as
| you've destroyed all enemies at the tunnel to end the level.
| Therefore, you could leave the Warthog entirely and use a Ghost to get
| there, or even walk. The latter option is not recommended, but
| entirely possible. Between you and the tunnel are mainly Elites,
| Ghosts, and a Phantom. It's possible to simply race through to the
| highway tunner. If you want to take out a few enemies before doing
| that, you'll find a rocket launcher on top of the bunker. You cna use
| it to destroy the guns on Phantoms, rendering them effectively
| harmless. The tunnel is very long -- you should definitely grab a
| Ghost or a Warthog. ___________________________________________o

| \_____/
|
| Follow the tunnel to the right until you reach the exit. Occasionally
| you'll have to drive into a parallel tunnel. The Covenant have
| constructed makeshift barricades, but you can simply drive by them.
| If you're piloting a Ghost and a Drone lands on the bonnet and ttacks
| you, jump out of the vehicle to kill the insect before it can inflict
| serious damage. Alternatively, you could accelerate and collide with
| a wall to dislodge it. When you reach a branch in the road, a red
| light will
show
you that this exit is barred. Use the ramp to evade
| the cannon of the Shadow parked here, but stay on the road. A little
| later you'll meet a convoy of three Shadows. In a hall not far from
| the exit, the Covenant will make a last attempt to prevent your
| escape. All you have to do now is get through there to reach the
| bridge -- and, by doing so, finish this level. ___________________o

|
| Climb into the Scorpion. After the two Marines have taken their
| seats, get rolling. Your comrades will shoot everything within range
| from their side. Look out for distant movement on the bridge and
| react as soon as the Ghosts begin to approach you. One well-aimed hit
| with the cannon will usually destroy these speedy Covenant vehicles,
| but it's always worthwhile to bath them in constant machine gun fire.
| The engines of a terminally ill Ghost will often explode. Watch out
| for the characteristic sound these "dying" Ghosts make and remember to
| keep your distance.
|
| There's a Wraith on the middle of the bridge. Shots from its mortar
| cannon are relatively slow and fly in an arc but, as your tank is not
| blessed with any real
degree
of acceleration, you should definitely
| keep one eye on the skies. Hit the Wraith a few times with the
| Scorpion's cannon to destroy it. Behind the Wraith is a hole in the
| road. Drive around it -- staying to the left is safer. At this
| point, Phantoms will arrive from behind. Shoot the cannons attached
| to their undersides. Additionally, Banshees will attack
| from above, and there are some more Ghosts to deal with. At the toll
| both a veritable Covenant armada is waiting fo you. Two Wraiths will
| emerge from the tunnel -- and you'll have to get past them because,
| typically, the tunnel is where you need to go next. The best strategy
| when you encounter Wraiths is to keep
moving
at all times.
|
| A floodgate blocks the road in the tunnel. Get out and continue on
| foot or with a Ghost or Warthog you could even drive over the ramp
| on the right side. You can swap your weapon for something better
| with the Marines down there -- you could, for example, grab a Shotgun
| for close-quarters combat. There's a Beam Rifle on the floodgate,
| which is handy for attacking the Covenant further down the tunnel.
| Your goal is the exit of the tunnel down further to the right of the
| road. Go through the tube on the left side to reach a park. _____o

|
| Take out the enemies in the basin one after the other using a Sniper
| Rifle or Beam Rifle. The crew of the Warthog down there would like
| you to man their Gauss cannon, but you could also take the wheel of
| the warthog and get the ex-drive to be the gunner. Your goal is the
| passage under the right rim of the dome. You could also choose to run
| through without a vehicle and s the Rocket Launcher lying behind a
| corner there to fight the Wraith. You might even prefer to board one
| of the Ghosts or even the Wraith! Whatever your choice is, you should
| go through the arch behind the Wraith and advance into the city
| center.
|
| There is a Marine command post in the building at the end of
| the city. You'll have to destroy the Wraiths on the road, but you
| could also take one. Also, destroy the weapons on the attacking
| Phantom -- ar, at very least drive it away with a sustained barrage of
| fire. You could use a Ghost for that just
dodge
the attacks while
|
moving
sideways, or instead go and pick up the Rocket Launcher lying
| in a back road. A Warthog with a Gauss Cannon will offer support.
| You could choose to drive it yourself or use the cannon. As soon as
| you've defeated all the Covenant in the city center, the entrance to
| the building opens -- it will be marked with a Waypoint. A Marine
| will lead you to your next destinations. Should you lose him, just
| follow the stairs to the top. ________________________________o

|
| A giant Scarab strides closer and closer to your position, seemingly
| unstoppable... but then it walks just slightly over the building
| you're in. Run to the staircase on the left and get back into the
| building one floor higher. Again, a Marine will guide you. When
| outside, this is your chance to get your ammunition. I chose to use
| the Shotgun and the Rocket Launcher because of their effectiveness.
| Gear up, and get to the end. You need to have everything at full
| ammo. When the Scarab reaches the end, jump on, and use your shotgun
| to rid the world of the Covenant on the top part where you are at. Go
| inside, get out your Rocket Launcher, and start firing at enemies. Be
| careful though, there is a swordsman in there along with 2 Ultras. I
| used the Shotgun to take out the Swordsman and 2
Plasma
Grenades and
| the Rocket Launcher to get rid of the Ultras. __________________o

| unknown territory -- it's also useful for makeing unseen retreats.
|
| On the lower level, you'll find an elevator in the back part of the
| hall. More Grunts and Elites will attack you. If any members of
| your SpecOps team survived, you'll meet them by the elevator. Use
| the multicolored holo-switch in the elevator to go down. Activate
| your Camo in the elevator before you reach your destination.
|
| Now take cover behind the elevator to take stock of the situation.
| The spaceship in the hangar is a Seraph. You won't be able to use
| it. Next the usual Heretics there are also Sentinels in this hall.
| Watch out for the bluish glowing containers: they'll detonate when
| subjected to sustained fire. This can be very useful when enemies
| are standing nearby, but deadly should the Arbiter be stood next to
| one when it explodes. The exit from the hall is on the lower level,
| opposite the great hangar gate.
|
| This door will only open after you've killed all the enemies in the
| hangar. As soon as a Heretic sees you, it will notify its comrades.
| The best thing you can do is to run camoflouged from cover to cover
| towards the great hangar gate. You'll be ordered to open the gate to
| allow reinforcements to enter. Use one of the switches on the left
| or the right next to the gate. You won't be able to run around
| outside -- the fierce winds will prevent your exit from the hangar.
| As soon as your Phantom enters the hall, it will fire everything it
| has at your enemies and deploy several SpecOps soldiers to assist
| you. At the same time, many Heretics will enter the hall, including
| Grunts carrying Fuel Rod Cannons.
|
| The Phantom will soon leave, and the advancing Heretic reinforcements
| finally open the exit. Grunts will position
Plasma
Cannons in front
| of it. Get a Fuel Rod Cannon if you can grab one and remove this
| danger as soon as possible. A corridor leads you away from the
| hangar. There will be some Elites and Grunts down here, so watch
| your Motion Tracker closely. You should rely on the power of
| grenades and the Energy Sword 00 or, if you prefer, just improvise
| with any other avilable weapon.
|
| After three turns to the left, you'll reach another hall. The exit
| is on the right side. Turn on your Camo and take out a Grunt or two.
| Now position yourself for reinforcements -- they'll arrive shortly
| via the door across from the point where you entered this area.
| You'll now be in another corridor that leads downward in regular
| slopes to the left. There is another hall at the end of the
| corridor. Approach solitary Elites from behind on your way and
| finish them off with a hit on the back of the head. You should also
| dispatch the Grunts found sleeping in some corners.
|
| In the second hall, turn to the left. Start running and press
| (WHITE). If you're fast enough, you might be able to reach the exit
| without being noticed. The exit is in a niche on your right side,
| shortly before the hall ends. Your goal is mere steps away: you only
| have to go through a door to finally reach the Heretic Leader.
| Unfortunately, he's standing on the Banshee launch pad behind a glass
| screen -- and now you definitely will be discovered. One of the
| doors in the side walls will open. Don't allow the Heretics to
| detain you for long. Fight your way through them and follow the
| Heretic Leader. ________________________________________o

| Climb into a Banshee and take off. Look, right, to the outer rim of
| the station. At the back of the exterior wall -- distinguished by by
| blue glowing features -- there will be a landing platform. It's a bit
| higher than your current altitude. That is where the Heretic leader
| has landed his Banshee and gled into the station. As soon as you get
| close to the platform, you'll recieve an order to clear the landing
| zone. Kill all the Heretics -- and watch out for blasts from Fuel
| Rod Cannons -- so you can get inside.
|
| The "official" route is a little more complicated, but a lot more
| fun. Your Banshee is accompanied by a Phantom. This Phantom assists
| you in your search for the Heretic Leader. To support it in turn,
| you'll have to shoot down all the attacking Banshees and destroy the
|
Plasma
Cannons on each and every platform and balcony. The search
| will slowly lead you around the whole station. If you want, you can
| stop on the way and pick up a Fuel Rod Cannon from the dead grunts
| lying on platforms. There is one place where a lot of Grunts will
| shoot at the Phantom with these guns so go there and get one with
| some ammo to back it up if you like. Once you reach the end, kill the
| enemies on the outside and head on in.

| There's a strange ambience in the
rooms
: it's the silence before the
| storm. In the first lab, jump to the lower level. Shortly afterwards
| you'll meet the Heretic Leader, but only in the form of a hologram.
| Use the time you have here to destroy the corpses on the floor by
| shooting them with a FRC if you have one. If not, shoot with a gun.
|
| Soon after, the Flood will spurt out and start attacking you. Yep,
| the Flood. Good thing you destroyed the bodies otherwise you will
| have to fight the dead things lying on the ground. Grab an Energy
| Sword or continue on until you find one. In the next
room
, there are
| Flood and Sentinels battling it out with each other. You can choose
| to bust in there with everything you've got or choose to wait a
| LOOOONNG time for the battle to end. Attack the Combat Forms with
| your Energy Sword (B Button) to kill them instantly. Doing this will
| prevent the infection forms from bringing the dead back to life.
|
| Continue on through destroying any Flood with your Sword and an
| automatic weapon for the Infection Forms. Continue on until you get
| to where you see the Heretic Leader lock himself inside a chamber. Go
| up the platform, killing any Combat Forms along the way. If you want,
| you can switch there weapons with yours because some Flood carry human
| weapons. Anyway, take the Energy Sword from the SpecOps Elite, unless
| you already have one, but I suggest you get it anyway. Head up the
| platforms and get onto the elevator. ___________________________o

| In the hall where you are currently located, go around on the top

| destroying all the cables. Flood and Sentinels will also come towards
| you, so be careful. At higher difficulty levels, these can be a real
| pain. Go back down the elevator, and through the door that the Leader
| was behind. Follow the path into another Banshee, and go to the

|
| After the flight, you'll be on the Banshee launch pad that you left at
| the end of the previous level. You are now expected to get back up to
| the hangar with the Seraph. The Flood is abundant throughout the
| station. From time to time, pockets of Heretics and Sentinels will
| still fight against it. The exit of the first hall is on the lower
| level on the right. Continue further to the right. In the next great
| hall, the exit is far away on the left. Now you're in another
| corridor going upwards. Again, keep to the right. Finally, you'll
| catch up with the Heretic Leader.
|
| He is accompanied by the holy Oracle -- an old acquaintance from
| Halo: Combat Evolved... The hunt is finally over, time to take out
| this big piece of disgrace for good! He lets out two other holograms
| of himself, except these will shoot and hurt. You can choose to
| destroy the two copies or go straight for the original one. The best
| tactic is to Dual-Wield two needlers found behind the ship and start
| unloading on the two things. After the needler ammo is gone, at
| least one of them should be dead, and you could take that ammo or
| chose to attack with your sword if you still have it. After the
| holograms are gone, the mission ends. _______________________o

| to where you can cross it. Get out of the Warthog, and let the
| HellJumpers take care of the Covenant on the outside. Go inside the
| structure on the bottom and activate the bridge. A few ghosts will

|
| On your way to the ruins you will have to cross a valley that is
| defended by turrets and a whole fleet of Ghosts. The Scorpion will
| just, braise be to an unkown Forerunner architect, fit snugly through
| the columns.
|
| At the end of the next tunnel you'll find the ruins you've been
| searching for. Approach them with caution because the defenders are
| categorically not pleased to see you. The narrow entrance is on the
| left end of the walkway you'll see directly in front of you. You
| won't be able to get through there with your tank, so you should use
| its cannon to pummel enemy forces before jumping out.
|
| A secondary goal on your way to the center can be found on the right
| side of this structure. Drive up on the ramp to get as close to
| the arcades as possible. A Pelican will drop Weapon Capsules there.
| These torpedo-like containers are fulled with weapons like Sniper
| Rifles and Rocket Launchers. Help yourself! As soon as the area is
| safe, Marines will be deplyed -- they'll support you on your way into
| the center. The entrance is designed for pedestrians only, but its
| possible to squeeze through with a Ghost.
|
| After you've gone to the center of the ruins, you'll have to fight
| your way through the Covenant. Use every bit of cover the ruins can
| offer you. Grenades are quite effective in the close confines of
| this area. In case you lose your way, here are some directions: in
| one corner of the inner courtyard a slope will lead upward. Follow
| the slope up and then just follow the path. Don't be lulled into a
| false sense of security by the deceitful silence: there are Jackals
| and other enemies hiding between the rocks. Finnaly, leave the area
| through the narrow crevice on the left side. ________________o

|
| Shortly after the mission name has been displayed on your screen,
| you'll meet a Jackal sniper who is careless enough to
show
his back to
| you. His Beam Rifle will prove very useful. Have a good look at the
| basin in front of you. On the opposite side you'll see a small cave.
| On the level up there you'll also see a large cave tunnel -- the exit.
| You can reach it via the left side of this valley. The natural bridge
| in the middle of the valley will help you to orientate yourself here.
| Between its lower end and the small cave, a path will lead steeply
| upwards. At the upper end of this path, keep to the right and you'll\
| reach your goal.
|
| Use the Beam Rifle to kill all the Jackals you can see. Keep an eye
| on the area below your original position. There are a few Covenant
| down there -- and not only Jackals, but Elites as well. Use your
| scope to shoot enemies from the largest possible distance.
| If you are being fired at by snipers, move to a new position and
| examine the clearly visible traces of each shot -- they will betray
| the position of the hidden marksmen. Occasionally Drones will attack
| you as well. You'll hear their characteristic noise before you see
| them, giving you time to switch to another weapon -- and, ideally, one
| with a suitably high rate of fire.
|
| Help yourself at the Weapon Capsules before entering the complex.
| There are Jackal Snipers on the rooftop. As soon as you've killed
| them -- and, should you attract their attention, swatted a swarm of
| Drones as well -- get ready to meet the Honor Guards. These Elites
| are trained to protect of the Prophets, and are truly fearsome.
| Inside the building, two Honor Guards will have swords and the other

|
| At the end of the cutscene you'll immediately be attacked by Drones
| and Elites. They will enter through the door that opened on the
| upper-right side. Behind the door, you'll find a Beam Rifle. This
| weapon definitely comes in handy here, because there are several
| snipers on the other buildings. Take a good look around. If you're
| hit by a shot from afar, run behind cover and take care of the Jackal
| afterwards. The rays of the Beam Rifles will give away the position
| of each sniper.
|
| There is an equally pressing but altogether more
| immediate problem that requires your attention as you evade and return
| fire on the snipers: Grunts and Elites will approach from behind the
| corner on the left side. When crossing the bridge leading to the next
| building, you should stay on the lower level. You'll find another
| Beam Rifle here.
Show
a little foresight and use the weapon to kill
| enemies from the largest possible distance. Get to the center of the
| next building. You can climb across the wreckage to an almost
| completely buried ledge. You'll find two
Plasma
Grenades and two
| Carbines here.
|
| There are several Elites and Jackals in the area behind the building.
| As soon as you've termintated each with due prejiduce, there will be
| a small and deceptive hiatus. It won't last long: a Phantom is
| closing in. Take cover close to the building or under the roof in
| the middle of the round battle arena. The dropship will also deploy
| a pair of Hunters. If some Marines survived up to this point, they
| will distract the giants. If this is the case, it's easy to place
| a deadly shot in their backs with the Beam Rifle or Carbine. A
Plasma
| Sword can also help you to end thiws particular gladitorial bout
| quickly and cleanly.
|
| After the fight, a Pelican will deploy Weapon Capsules an fresh
| Marines. Take a Sniper Rifle or a Beam Rifle: you'll need it.
| Approaching from the direction of the building in the background, a
| gondola floats closer, and it's packed to the brim with Covenant.
| Shoot as many as you can from a safe distance. After the Gondola has
| docked, you can jump aboard and use the switch at the front in the
| lower area. The gondola will accelerate towards the building. ____o

| From the other "lane", the other gondola will approach you. Be warned
| that there are several Covenant hiding behind the rail. Try to
| dispatch all Covenant forces on the tower you're driving towards, as
| there are turrets and Grunts as well as snipers on its rooftop. When
| you've shot the operators of the cannons, be aware that others will
| take their place. There will also be enemies down at the entrance.
|
|
| There is a huge rock in the entrance area, and you can jump on it.
| From there, jump up to a ledge lying in the dark which will lead you
| to the turrets outside. Make sure that no Covenant can sneak up on
| you here. In the center of the building you'll have to kill all the
| Drones and Jackals. Shortly afterward, a glass elevator will appear.
| There are some Jackals inside, so throw a grenade into it as soon as
| it opens. Before you get into the elevator and use the switch to get
| the thing going, there's a very special weapon waiting for you nearby.
| Climb up the slopes to the very top and go out on the ledge. Your
| reward is a Fuel Rod Cannon.
