The team enters the Kilindini Underpass meeting little resistance until a barrier prevents them from taking their vehicle any further. They are soon joined by a pair of Wraith tanks which come in from the nearby highway tunnel, as well as another pair of Banshees.
Cortana: "That's quite a welcome party."Ī pack of Ghosts skitter into view and open fires. At the other end of the bridge, a group of Banshees flies in over the rooftops.Īs John-117 approaches the second speed tunnel: A lone Marine (or two, if one of the two accompanying the Chief was killed) stationed on the bridge joins the Chief and the other two Marines (if he took the Scorpion). A multitude of Ghosts as well as a Wraith tank patrol the bridge.Ībout halfway across, Banshees swoop in for an attack from either side, and three Phantom dropships fly by, deploying troops and another Wraith tank.
The suspension bridge is strewn with the wreckage of cars, trucks and buses. The burning skyline with the Covenant assault carrier hovering over it is visible in the distance. The Chief starts out standing next to the tank and damaged Warthog to the his right. On Legendary, it will be called "Ladies like Superior Firepower"). (Note: On Heroic, the chapter will be called "Ladies like Grinding Treads".
Sergeant Johnson: (smirks) "Oh, I know what the ladies like.". Sergeant Johnson climbs back on the Pelican, and cocks its machine gun. Stay with the Master Chief, he'll know what to do." Sergeant Johnson: "We've all run the simulations, they're tough, but they ain't invincible. Female Marine: "What about that Scarab?". But not today! This here is sixty-six tons of straight up, H-E-spewing dee-vine intervention! If God is love, then you can call me Cupid!" ( Legendary): "Usually the good Lord works in mysterious ways. We had sticks! Two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon - and we had to share the rock! Buck up, boy, you're one very lucky Marine!" ( Heroic): "When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-shmancy tanks. ( Normal): "The Chief is gonna jump in this tank, roll across the bridge, and blow up any inhuman-son-of-a-bitch dumb enough to get between him and the Prophet of Regret! Pull yourself together, because you're going with him!". But to guide you back to the true path, I brought this motivational device. ( Easy): "You had your chance to be afraid before you joined my beloved Corps. (Note: The following dialogue varies according to difficulty) Sergeant Johnson: ( Puts a hand on Marine's shoulder) "You hit, Marine?". Marine #1: "And we will be, too, sir, if we don't get the hell outta here!". Sergeant Major Avery Junior Johnson: "Where's the rest of your platoon?". The Chief and Marines are reinforced at the bridge with a Scorpion tank. After that, there is a small park, where another Marine-controlled Warthog lurks, and an open urban area with Wraiths, before going onto catwalks attached to buildings in order to attempt to board the Type-47A Scarab and take out the Covenant piloting it. In this stage, the Master Chief and two Marines must battle across a long bridge guarded by Covenant forces and another but shorter tunnel than the one at the end of Outskirts. It takes place in New Mombasa, and starts as soon as the player emerges from the highway tunnel that was the last part of Outskirts. Metropolis is one of two levels where the player can acquire the Gauss Warthog (the other being Quarantine Zone). It is the first level where the player is able to drive the Scorpion Tank and the first level with Wraiths and Banshees. Metropolis is the fifth campaign level of Halo 2. Take the bridge, break the Covenant's grip on the city-center. Halopedia has a walkthrough guide to this level, Metropolis.
