===Starting Weapons===
:All players start with no weapons and have to pick them up. If playing co-op you can skip the medical exam that is performed by the Corpsman. Additionally if someone plays as Flipwiss a Plasma Pistol and Needler will be available from the armoury.
===Surgested Walkthrough===
:You start in the Colonial Barracks area in the Hospital. Sergeant Daniel Lawson, the 2nd player in Co-Op arrives and mentions how you got here after fighting in the 3rd Battle of Harvest and that he is glad you have recovered. There will be a large explosion and a Marine runs in informing the Sergeant of Covenant moving into the city. The Sergeant then orders the Corpsman to get you ready and meet him outside.
:Armoury
::Task Part 1 - Get Ready for Combat
:The Corpsman will ask you to follow the screen just like in the first level of Halo 3. After this has been done he will hand you a PDA and tell you to head to the armoury to pick up a weapon. As you move through the building you will see glimpses of Covenant Ships hovering over the city and Banshee and Wisps dog fighting with Longsword Fighter-Bombers. When you reach the courtyard head left and avoid the explosion before entering the armoury. You will find an Elite inside fighting a pair of Brutes. After both Brutes are defeated he will inform you that the Master at Arms has been killed and that all the weapons have been taken. Following the Elite you will find some A67 Smoke Grenades and an unloaded Magnum. Head back into the Courtyard and aid the troops in defeating the Grunts and Brute that the Phantom drops off before picking up an Assault Rifle from a fallen Marine.
::Task Part 1 Complete - Get Ready for Combat
::Task Part 2 - Head to the front line.
:Head back towards the Hospital to meet up with the Sergeant. He will tell you to get on the Warthog and move out. As soon as you exit the Barracks enemies will start attacking. The first group is a pair of Grunts with Plasma Canons and a Brute. Even if you are playing on Legendary this battle is not practically dangerous. After a few more skirmishes with Grunts and Brutes on the Road you will be forced into the Dry-docks area. The area is reminiscent of a canyon with a UNSC Frigate on one side and a Covenant Destroyer on the other. It is recommended driving quickly through this area as Brute Marksmen and Jackal Snipers are situated everywhere and you lack any weapon that can defeat them. As you reach the end of the 'canyon' you will find a service tunnel with Jackals and Grunts in front. Mow them down and head towards the City Centre.
::Task Part 2 Complete - Head for the Front Line.
:City Centre
::Task Part 3 - Close the Service Tunnel.
:As you head for towards the City Centre you will find yourself under attack form Ghosts. After a set distance they will overtake you and the Sergeant will inform you that they are heading for the city centre. Dismount your Warthog and head for the Tunnel Control centre defeating the Jackals standing guard in this area. When they are defeated trade your Assault Rifle for a Plasma Pistol and head inside. Deal with the three Brutes inside and pick up some Frag Grenades from the box by the entrance. Continue down the corridor and kill the Jackal Marksmen and take his Carbine for the next area. In the next room kill the Grunts and pick up some Plasma Grenades. Call the lift and head for the second floor before exiting the lift. Guarding the Console that controls the Service Tunnels is a Hunter Pair. Avoid their fire and defeat them with your Plasma Grenades. If you run out of Plasma Grenades there are more scattered around the room along with two Medical Kits if you find yourself low on Health. When both Hunters are defeated activate the Console.
::Task Part 3 Complete - Close the Service Tunnel
::Task Part 4 - Head for the Government Centre
:Head back to the lift defeating the Grunts that disembark before heading back down. Go back to the Warthog and drive down the Tunnel defeating the two Ghosts that you saw earlier. When you reach for the end of the tunnel head up the stairs killing the Brute at the top before picking up a Battle Rifle. Head towards the edge and snipe the Brutes including the Chieftain that are on the bridge although caution should be exercised as a pair of Jackal Snipers arrive later on in the battle. After the Brutes have been defeated head down and swap the plasma pistol for the Chieftain’s Fuel Rod Gun to deal with another Hunter Pair that attacks further down the bridge. At the other end of the Bridge you will see a Phantom dropping off Brutes, Jackals and Grunts, Knock them down one by one and head into the city. If you are low on Health there is a Health Pack near the burning bus.
::Task Part 4 Complete - Head for the Government Centre
:And you must be the bad guy right?
::Task Part 5 - Secure the Cities Smart AI
:Head into the building marked by the NAV point and get ready to fight five Brutes inside. When they are down pick up a Plasma Rifle and head up stairs. In the room you will find a brute trying to extract the AI from the terminal.
:Brute Immortal - Boss fight Part 1
::Weapons
::Brute AK
::Spike Grenades
::Flares
:All you have to do is lower the Brute Immortal's Shield. This is harder then usual as he is prone to throwing flares followed by Spike Grenades. Smart use of cover is important and a Medical Kit is located behind the desk. You know when his shields are down as he will roar and throw a pair of Spike Grenades at you. Dodge these and you have completed the task.
:Task Part 5 Complete - Secure the Cities Smart AI
:The Brute will leave jumping down of off the balcony. Kestrel will inform Mac about the Covenant Remnants Plan. Mac takes Kestrel inserting her into her PDA and heads back downstairs to where the Unknown Sergeant is situated to learn of a New Threat to the City.
