You can choose to invert the look, which is up to you – you can change at
any time. Once you touch down, just follow your team as you move from place
to place. You’ll eventually cross a bridge, you’ll go through a garden-like
area after a red dot blips your radar, and then you’ll hit a pack of grunts
from the second-story window and another when you attempt to exit the
building. The grunts don’t die as easy as they used to, so a few more rounds
are in order. You’ll pick up frags off a body heading down the steps, which
you can use on the group inside the building. And exiting the building, flank
to the left for cover.

*NOTE: Feel free to swap your pistol for any other gun; you can have any two
weapons.*

Once clear, the next covenant are down and up the hill. So just charge the
boulder up ahead, and run to the cover of the bridge while firing and they
should scatter up the other slope. Again, flank left and your team will finish
them off.

*NOTE: I think they moved a few buttons around, but you do have a melee
button.*

Move up and cross the river, then lob a few frags at the hay bales to hit a
few enemies. Yet again, flank them from the left as best you can; maybe throw
a melee or two. Hop down the nearby ledge and jump in the ride as you take two
passengers.

*

You can skip the few couple of enemies without really concerning yourself.
Once you cross the bridge, there will be a bad path to the immediate left, but
you want the left turn a bit further up. Don’t drive down to the building, just
hop out and walk up the estate that is crawling with covenant. This time, flank
to the right as you can hop up and bring death from above. Should be a few
elites inside the big building to clear out.

*NOTE: Driving in Halo is a bit tricky. You use the left stick for gas and
brake while the right stick is for direction. It’ll always be goofy, so get
used to it.*

Once that area is clear, hop in your ride and drive through the garage and down
the path to the next bridge, which you can either hop out or drive over to the
second estate. Covenant here are a bit easier to clear out, as they don’t hide
inside.

With this place clear, you’re told a down team nearby is under fire, and you
can see the drop ship in the distance. So use either the old or new ride and
drive up the path to the third estate. It’s empty, so hop out and move to the
back where the team is under attack by grunts. Not hard to clear out, but
then you are told to defend the LZ. The drop ship returns and drops off about
20 grunts and 2-3 elites. But first you want to pick up that DMR just inside
the garage door (where the checkpoint is) and with it you can zoom for
sniping.

Take point near or on the slope just to the right outside the garage and from
here just headshot as many grunts as you can, but the elites will take a few
more than one round. Remember, damage will take you out of your zoom, so
work fast, stay slim, and make every shot count for an easy evac.

*

You will be dropped in a hot LZ, and you could maybe try to lob a grenade
behind the jackals before your team gets too close, or just after. Head inside
the building and feel free to grab more DMR ammo for the upcoming defense.
This defense will have shielded jackals, so save your explosives for them and
pick off everyone else with your bullets. And stay inside the doorway, no need
to leave its safety. You will have one light wave, a much harder second wave,
and by the third wave it’s fubar and you just hide until the door closes.

*

Toggle night vision and move down the path to the body. In the next area your
vision is on, but your guns are reset, so grab a DMR to your right and start
clearing the corridor. Frags on the shields, or just flank left. Remember,
the jackals only face one way, and your ally will help your flanking efforts
if you turn a shield around. Same story at the corner, only you may have to
wait for them to come out. The final fight is in a server room. Your asked to
play bait, so just run down the right hall and into the room with the
popping servers. There is one elite with sword lurking, so eyes open and
hopefully your friend will help you clear out. Then just push the button in
the last room to end level.
