Uplift Reserve

Uplift Reserve is a Halo 3: ODST Campaign level. Played from Dutch's point of view, it takes place in the Uplift Reserve in New Mombasa.

Summary
Uplift Reserve is the chronologically second flashback level of the game. The level opens 30 minutes after the drop, as a UAV observes Dutch walking on the beach of Uplift Reserve. He watches the aircraft fly by, right into New Mombasa, and proceeds to move out of the park through the heavy Covenant resistance, which includes Wraiths and multiple other vehicles. Several Marine platoons are also present in the area, and at one point Dutch is tasked with finding one of them. While driving into the last section of the park, Dutch witnesses the collapse of the Orbital Elevator as a drone aircraft crashes into it. In the end, he manages to drive out of the park, through a gap in the wall surrounding it, right into the streets of the city.

Trivia

 * There is also an achievement called Wraith Killer which requires the player to destroy every Wraith encountered during the course of the level in order to be unlocked.
 * Near the Covenant landing zone with the gravity lift base, where a group of Marines are taking cover behind a ridge, there's a crazed Marine with a broken ankle, and another Marine trying to calm him down. This is likely a reference to the AWOL Marine in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 3's suicidal marine.
 * The Covenant landing zone appears to be an aesthetically upgraded version of the one encountered on The Truth and Reconciliation in Halo: Combat Evolved.
 * In the area when you encounter the first Shade turrets, if you turn left towards the shore you will see an enormous dead zebra.
 * This is possibly the easiest level to get Vidmaster Challenge: Classic, by getting in a Ghost and boosting till the end of the level.
 * At the end of the level, the vehicle you use will always be the one in the cutscene. You can use a Warthog, a Ghost, or a Chopper. They will have the same speed when the vehicle lands and plunges into the wall, and will blow up at the same time.
 * If the Wraith is sent over the cliff, it will transform into either a Warthog, a Ghost, or a Chopper.
