Key/The Hammer

The Hammer is the fifth chapter of Spartan Ops ' ninth episode, Key.

Trivia

 * The three holographic panels in the final area display the original Reclaimer symbol, which is actually the Marathon logo. This is strange, as the Marathon franchise is owned by Bungie, not 343 Industries.
 * The ninth Red vs. Blue Easter Egg of Season 1 can be found on this level. When Crimson activates one of Hawk Squad's IFF tags, Church can be heared talking with a Sangheili, telling him that he does not understand what he says. The Elite, enraged, kills Church with an Energy Sword. This easter egg is a reference to the first chapters of the fourth season of Red vs Blue, where the Blue Team meets an alien and they have trouble understanding what the alien is trying to say.
