It begins with a [[UNSC]] [[Warthog]] convoy moving to [[Voi]], its objective to punch through the [[Covenant]] [[Anti-Aircraft Battery|Anti-Aircraft defenses]] that surround the ''supposed'' [[The Portal|Ark]] and allow [[Lord Hood]]'s small fleet to launch a direct strike against the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s Dreadnought in hopes of killing Truth and stopping the firing of the [[Halo Array|Halo rings]]. [[UNSC Marine]] forces, led by [[John-117]], fight through several pitched skirmishes through the industrial zone of Voi. | It begins with a [[UNSC]] [[Warthog]] convoy moving to [[Voi]], its objective to punch through the [[Covenant]] [[Anti-Aircraft Battery|Anti-Aircraft defenses]] that surround the ''supposed'' [[The Portal|Ark]] and allow [[Lord Hood]]'s small fleet to launch a direct strike against the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s Dreadnought in hopes of killing Truth and stopping the firing of the [[Halo Array|Halo rings]].

After breaking through the industrial area, John | After breaking through the industrial area, John meets up with a group of approximately five [[Mongoose]] ATVs and commandeers one with a [[Marine]] riding 'pillion' using a M41 [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|Rocket Launcher]]. They immediately engage a squadron of [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Artillery|Anti-Air Wraith]] tanks to secure a landing zone as [[Type-25 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Brute Chopper]]s and [[Type-32 Rapid Attack Vehicle|Ghost]]s attack. The Covenant are being continually reinforced by [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]]s. [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]]s and [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]]s fly above, vying for control of the skies. Although they manage to take the landing zone, the victory ends up being short-lived as a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]] arrives to crush the UNSC forces. After John destroys the massive walker, remaining UNSC forces prepare to push into a [[Jiralhanae]]-controlled warehouse. | ||
With reinforcements led by [[Thel 'Vadam]] along with the [[Civilian|Voi Factory Workers]], the Chief and his allies push onwards, engaging nearly a dozen [[Jiralhanae]] armed with [[Type-25 Carbine|spiker]]s and [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|brute shot]]s, a pair of [[Mgalekgolo]], and a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] wielding a [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|Gravity Hammer]]. They finally press on to the [[Type-27 Mantis|Anti-Aircraft Battery]], engaging a small Covenant force defending it, including a [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain]]. Eventually, they succeeded in destroying the gun, enabling three [[UNSC Frigate]]s to attack [[Dreadnought|Truth's ship]]. Unfortunately, the assault fails to damage Truth's ship. The artifact opens and activates a massive portal, which Truth and the rest of the Covenant fleet use to escape. Before the UNSC can figure out what to do next, [[Indulgence of Conviction|a badly damaged Covenant cruiser]] enters Earth's orbit and crashes into a nearby factory. An [[The Flood|even deadlier enemy]] has arrived... | With reinforcements led by [[Thel 'Vadam]] along with the [[Civilian|Voi Factory Workers]], the Chief and his allies push onwards, engaging nearly a dozen [[Jiralhanae]] armed with [[Type-25 Carbine|spiker]]s and [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|brute shot]]s, a pair of [[Mgalekgolo]], and a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] wielding a [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|Gravity Hammer]].
