Following a humorous, fourth-wall-breaking introduction by [[Avery Johnson|Sergeant Avery Johnson]] designed to accompany the original E3 presentation by Bungie, the demo opens to a scene of the [[Earth]] city of [[New Mombasa]] under siege by the [[Covenant]]. The [[John-117|Master Chief]] is en route to a UNSC field command post turned field hospital to assist the marines in destroying an [[Covenant artillery|artillery cannon]] and securing the area. The [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] lands and Master Chief exits with a few ODSTs to be introduced to Cpl. [[Perez]] who takes him through the field hospital to where [[Banks|Sergeant Banks]] is.

The Master Chief proceeds through the camp witnessing the new animations of allied AIs. He then passes through a destroyed building housing a Marine heavy Machine gun team and Sergeant Banks. Both are pinned down by Covenant forces. The Sergeant then calls in an airstrike on the [[Type-48 Weevil|artillery cannon]]. A flight of Longsword fighters promptly complies, launching a successful bombing run on the cannon. After the airstrike has occurred Banks gives the player his SMG, an introduction to the new feature of [[dual wielding]]. Using his new weapons, the Chief clears the area of Covenant troops before moving over a pile a debris and into an open street.

In the street there is a packed group of about seven Jackals with shields. Upon spotting the Chief they form a phalanx and begin to open fire with their plasma pistols. After a few moments of shooting, the group of Jackals are splattered by a pair of [[M12 Warthog|Warthogs]]. One of the Warthogs is the new Gauss Warthog, the driver instructs the Master Chief to man the Gauss Cannon on the back. Upon the Chief entering the turret, Warthogs drive around the street areas which are incidentally quite similar to the streets before the [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] attack in the ''Halo 2'' level, [[Metropolis]]. After the Chief destroys a few {{Pattern|Ruwaa|Shadow}}s and [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]], the Warthog is boarded by a [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] who kills the Marines in the passenger and driver seat, prompting the Chief to exit the vehicle to take action against the boarder.
