==Summary==
==Summary==
As the [[Battle of Mombasa]] enters its final stages, the [[Rookie]], [[Edward Buck|Buck]], [[Veronica Dare|Dare]], and [[Quick to Adjust|Vergil]] fight their way to the [[New Mombasa|city]]'s Coastal Highway, where Dare and Vergil board an [[Olifant]]. Buck and the Rookie escort them along the [[Covenant]]-infested highway with various [[M12 Warthog|Warthogs]] and a [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion]], hoping to reach the shipyards for extraction. However, a [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] manages to cripple the Olifant, forcing the group to divert off the highway to a nearby building. There they fight off waves of Covenant until they are finally saved by the [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantom]] that they captured earlier. Reunited at last, the [[Alpha-Nine|squad]] leaves the war-torn city just as it is glassed by [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carriers]] and [[CCS-class battlecruiser|battlecruisers]].

''In the [[Superintendent]]'s underground data center, many Huragok are looking around the area, as one looks behind to see the [[Prophet of Truth]] arriving from above on his [[gravity throne]], accompanied by two Huragok behind him. Inspecting the area around him, the Prophet of Truth stops to peer forward, smiles, and orders the Huragok to move forward. A large hole is shown, with part of a [[Forerunner]] relic located underneath. Several Phantoms fly around in the area, one approaching and moving towards the structure.''

*The player can also hijack the [[Ogab'd-pattern anti-aircraft Wraith|AA Wraith]] in this level using the same [[Drive an Ogab'd-pattern anti-aircraft Wraith|glitch]] that allowed the player to hijack them in ''[[Halo 3]]''. Buck will say that he will man the AA Wraith's turret but actually will continue on foot. It is unknown if getting the AA Wraith will invalidate the Deja Vu achievement, which explicitly bans only the use of Warthogs and Scorpions.

*The Olifant can be flipped over using debris on the highway, which causes the Olifant to eventually instantly teleport back to its original position.

*Players can actually get a Ghost past the barricade when securing the building. Use another vehicle as a ramp for the Ghost and allow it to flip when one hits the invisible barrier. The Ghost should roll through, allowing one to ride it to the building.

*In Theater mode, when the player gets out of his/her vehicle and enters the entrance to the Reserve, press Y to get into flying cam. Now the viewer will be able to roam the city and beyond free like in Pam Cam, just like the glitch on Mombasa Streets.

*Using Boom Skull will cause Vergil to die instantly upon dismounting from Olifant. Vergil will always be caught inside explosion distance when Boom Skull applies, as the Olifant explodes upon dismounting. The only way to avoid this glitch is to play this level without Boom Skull.
