[[Alpha Base (Level)|Alpha Base]] is more like a "training level" to help you understand the basics of the game and introduce you to [[campaign]] mode. In this level, you are playing in the role of [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]] and his [[Gauss Warthog]], attempting to reassemble the [[Marines]] who were originally stationed at the run-down [[Alpha Base]] but were run off by [[Covenant]] forces.

[[Alpha Base (Halo Wars level)|Alpha Base]] is more like a "training level" to help you understand the basics of the game and introduce you to [[campaign]] mode. In this level, you are playing in the role of [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]] and his [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|Gauss Warthog]], attempting to reassemble the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] who were originally stationed at the run-down [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]] but were run off by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces.

First off, drive the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] to the arrow and keep driving in the direction of the arrow. Eventually, you will be lead to a few enemies, so press the '''X''' button and slowly take them down. After you kill them all, keep driving in the direction of the arrow. The blue arrow may sometimes lead you to a different place away from your objective, so change your direction once your sight is clear.

After you reach your first squad of Marines, they are pinned down next to three squads of Covenant forces. You can't control the Marines now, so drive Forge into a safe direction and kill the enemies one by one, with the support of your Marines. After they all die, the Marines will get in a Warthog, giving you two Warthogs to toy with. Be careful with the 'hogs, because they will have only 70% and health when you save the marines.

Go into the same process, follow the blue arrow to the base, killing a few Covenant on the way. If you want the skull, kill every Covenant you meet.

After a while, you will reach a Covenant [[Anti-vehicle barrier|Anti-Vehicle Barrier]] with a few squads of Covenant guarding it. Your Warthogs will not be able to pass through it; you will have to order all of your foot soldiers to pass through it. Kill all of the Covenant first, and then attack the power core with your Marines' '''Y''' ability ([[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|Frag Grenades]]). Once the power core is broken, you can order your other units to pass through the barrier. Keep the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthogs]] close to the barrier when your infantry is destroying the core.

Keep following the blue arrow. Your next stop is the base itself, so be prepared. Let your Warthogs pass through first, and use your Marines to kill the enemy infantry.

Once you enter the base's interior, you will find [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraiths]] in the middle of the base. Do not waste time attacking them, as a [[Shortsword]] bomber will kill them for you. Kill the squads of Covenant located at all four corners of the base. Send your squads one at a time and kill the enemies quickly with your '''Y''' ability. Once you kill all of the Covenant, your mission will end, with [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]] online and running once again.

==General strategies==
*Forge's Warthog is an invaluable asset to complete the mission. Keep it intact, whatever happens.
 
*Shade turrets are devastating, especially on Legendary mode, and can destroy Warthogs with ridiculous ease. Use grenades against them and get your vehicles to avoid them like the plague.
