Talk:Sierra 117

Phonetic Alphabet And Triva
Well by now I guess that everyone knows this where according to the NATO phonetic alphabet ... Sierra 117 = S(partan) 117 ect. But also I noticed that "Charlie Foxtrot" has a "hidden meaning". Where CF = slang "clusterfuck". It basically means ALOT going wrong in a short space/time. Just google it. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=charlie+foxtrot&btnG=Search I might have changed/added it but I wasn't sure about the Pedia's user/family friendly-ness and political correctness. It makes particular sense knowing the meaning and its reference to the begining of the level "The Covenant" where one of the pelicans was shot down. Tell me what you think...

Size
These level articles are becoming a little hefty. As this one stands there is a plot outline, transcript and walkthrough. The walkthroughs seem more like content for a strategy website (or a seperate article) than a wiki, should this be considered? And if we are going to keep them, at least make sure that they're gramatically correct. Rapturous 20:59, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I would rather have tips on how to complete the level rather than an walkthrough on how to beat it. Tips like: use the grav lift when you reach such and such or don't forget to grab the Grav Hammer as you pass such and such.

Agreed, the campaign levels are getting out of hand with the walk-throughs. I edited the walk through to its current version, but that was to fix a lot of things. Possible to create a main page linking to each walk through of each game? -Dukester101 18:36, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Wrong Name
According to an article located at the link below, the first level is not called Landfall. It is now called Sierra 117. I'm going to change it now.

I don't think this is right. From the way the article was phrased, I was under the impression that the level IS called Landfall and that Sierra 117 is the name of one of the level sections. I vote for a re-name to Landfall 70.165.123.14 03:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey wonden you start inside the foreruner ship?

Maybe its called Sierra 117 because thats how Master Chief would be referred to on the radio - S. (Spartan) 117 - as Sierra represents S in the phonetic alphabet. simon rj  h  19:57, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Sierra 117 is the whole level.It stays.

Chapter Names
Those chapter names are inaccurate and possibly made-up. They have been confirmed to be false by Luke McKay. I'm going to remove them. -68.249.143.152 19:32, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Possibly wrong name for this level
I recently got the September 07 EGM and it says the fifth level is called Sierra 117. Can anyone prove me wrong. -- Lordofmonsterisland "Roar to me"  20:54, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Lordofmonerisland I noticed that too.JanSpartan117 21:01, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

EGM made a mistake. Bungie confirmed its the first level. --Ajax 013 21:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. -- Lordofmonsterisland "Roar to me"  23:51, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Chapter Name
From the Sierra 117 leaked video I saw, the chapter where the Pelican's are shot down is called "Charlie Foxtrot."

Transcript
For anyone who was wondering, the opening cutscene is not fanon, it's real. - theblackthrone  (atthecenter)    (ofultimatechaos)  20:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Marine line. :D
I rofled for this:

{A Brute is torturing a Marine on a log. It is optional to save him}

Brute:Tell me its location!

Tortured Marine: Kiss...my...ass.

Spoilers
I added a spoiler warning because in the transcript there is a certain major character that speaks to the chief. It could be considered a spoiler to people who haven't played the game. It surprised me when it happened to me in campaign the first time. E93 01:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

More and more Spoilers
I'm finishing the Transcript, so there's going to be a total spoiler for those who haven't played Halo 3.

And I would like to thank whoever filled in the gaps I left in the transcript I wrote earlier.

Editer mistake
I don't know who does this, but they wrote, twice that Hocus and Kilo 23 was involved when the Pelicans were shot down.

A word of info, the first Pelican dropped behind the dam, and plunged into the river, while Echo 51 plowed the cliffs overhead.

So please, if you are reading this, don't change it back, cause it is not correct.

Glitch
At the end of the sniper valley by walking on the legde to your left it stops Johnson from saying his line or running away which means him and his men just sit there and get pumped its helpful because the snipers will shoot at him not you. Also Johnson will sometimes be knocked off the bridge resulting in him running around the bottom while Grunts throw stickys at him killing all there troops in the area (just saw a grunt stick a Brute who was trying to melee Johnson funny as). Note: as soon as you jump down he'll say his line and run away. - Seven
