3: Tsavo Highway
Full Contact Safari
Objective: Lead marines away from the base
It’s time for you to lead the survivors out of the base and to safety. Take the hallway to the left of the burning path and get into the Warthog with a turret, while the marines will get into other Warthog.
Load up the Warthogs.
Drive along the path marked by red flares until you come to a small outpost where marines are fighting Jackals. Kill the Jackals and let the two marines load into the troop transport before you move out.
The marines will only load up after the Jackals are dead.
Follow the path and kill any enemies you come across. The path will fork around the little hills, but it’ll come back to the same point, so you won’t get lost. Once you reach the downed Phantom, kill the enemies and take the path on the right.
Kill all enemies around the crashed Phantom, the follow the other car.
You’ll pass through a short ravine into a small valley. Here, you’ll fight troops dropped off by a Phantom, enemies in hovering towers, and a turret on a hill. Neutralize the turret first — the biggest threat in the valley — and then drive around the perimeter eliminating the remaining ground forces.
You’ll have to deal with the troops and the Shade turret.
Next, drive up and over the dam, and follow the dried river bed. Eventually it will lead you to a human installation overrun with Covenant forces, where you’ll fight enemies on foot and on Brute Choppers.
Take out the Choppers fast.
Kill all the forces around the installation, commandeer a Brute Chopper — allowing your troops to take over the Warthog you were in — and head to the large purple shield just past the installation. The shield is guarded by Brutes and Drones; kill them and then use a grenade on the shield’s generator, allowing your vehicles to continue on their way.
Take a Chopper, kill the energy shield, then proceed.
Follow the path, preferably while operating a Brute Chopper, and you’ll come to a highway. If you have enough speed, you’ll not only make the first jump, but also the second jump. The marines in the Warthog will disembark and go on foot, which prompts the new chapter of the level and a new objective.
Get lots of speed for the second jump.
The Broken Path
Objective: Get to the town of Voi
Take the remaining marines and, in your Brute Chopper, head forward until you come to a group of marines fighting the Covenant. Kill the remaining forces in the buildings, prompting a message from your HQ about fighting the incoming enemy until Pelicans arrive with support. Head into the buildings on the opposite side of the Covenant floating tower, where you’ll find a turret as well as three Trip Mines. Take the Trip Mines and lay them in the road or along the choke points to the turret, and prepare for the incoming enemy.
The Trip Mines will soften them up.
A Phantom dropship shows up, so man the turret and kill the enemy as they jump out. Next, disconnect the turret from its mount and move towards the Wraith, shooting the pilots. Man the Wraith and move out. (If you destroy the Wraith, use the Warthog that the Pelican drops instead.)
Use the turret to take out the Wraith’s pilot, then claim it for yourself.
Continue down the path, clearing out the enemy towers and Choppers, then enter the tunnel ahead of you. When you come out of the tunnel, you will see two Brutes standing next to their Choppers. If you are quick enough, you can blow them up before they can reach their vehicles. Eliminate them and then head to your left, continuing along the broken highway.
Kill them before they reach their Choppers.
As you come down the ramp from the broken section of highway, you will be attacked by three Brute Choppers, a turret, and two Wraiths. Take the path on the right of where you came down the ramp, and kill the turret on your upper left. Next, kill the three Brute Choppers or let your marines in the Warthog kill them, then move to the Wraith dead ahead. Now all that should be left is the final Wraith.
There are a lot of enemies, kill the lower ones before the Wraith on the hill.
Drive up the hill and kill the final enemy Wraith, and proceed up the highway.
That is the last of the Wraiths.
You will encounter an enemy road blockade that, unless you have a Wraith, will force you to dismount and fight in a close firefight with several Brutes. Fight your way through the barricade, by using the sheer forces of a Wraith or by brutal ground fighting.
This barricade is much easier with a Wraith, just push your way through.
Unless you’ve captured a Wraith, this next part is going to be tough. You’ll spot a downed Pelican and a large energy shield blocking your way to Voi. You will have to fight several Brute Elites and a turret, so use the Wraith on them, thus ending the level.
It looks like a lot, but it all goes down before the Wraith.
