It takes place in [[Voi]], [[Kenya]] on the continent of [[Africa]] on [[Earth]] during the [[Battle of Earth]]. Floodgate is the first campaign mission where [[Sangheili]] allies other than [[Thel 'Vadam]] are encountered in ''Halo 3''. It is also one of the shortest levels in the game.

Shortly after [[John-117]] disabled the [[Covenant]] [[Anti-Aircraft Battery]] in the previous level, [[The Storm (Level)|The Storm]], [[UNSC Frigate]]s under the command of [[Lord Hood|Lord Terrence Hood]] attacked the Covenant controlled [[Forerunner]] [[Dreadnought]]. This attempt failed, as the Dreadnought survived unscathed. The [[Covenant Loyalist]]s then activated a [[The Artifact|Portal]] to the [[Installation 00|Ark]], temporarily disabling the Frigates. The remnants of the Covenant Loyalist fleet then followed the Dreadnought into the Portal. With the UNSC fleet disabled, and the Anti-Aircraft Battery out of commission; [[Unnamed Flood-Captured Battlecruiser| a Flood-infested Covenant Battlecruiser]] suddenly jump out of Slipspace nearby and crashed into [[Traxus Factory Complex 09]].<ref>''Halo 3'', level ''[[The Storm (Level)|The Storm]]''</ref>

In order to eliminate the infestation, John-117 and [[Thel 'Vadam]] must overload the crashed cruiser's engines, wiping out the entire city and the Flood with it. To do this, they push back through the factory where they just came from, fighting many Flood [[Combat Forms]], encountering [[Pure Form]]s, the next stage in Flood evolution. They are then aided by the arrival of [[Rtas 'Vadum]] and a [[Covenant Separatist]] fleet. 'Vadam and John, along with a Sangheili strike team, push forward to the crashed ship, and 'Vadam holds position while John extracts what is believed to be [[Cortana (AI)|Cortana]], stored in a [[Covenant Storage Device]]. This eventually turns out to be only a recording.

Once onboard the Separatist [[Assault Carrier]], ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'', [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] extracts Cortana's recorded message from the Covenant Storage Device. The UNSC and Covenant Separatists then begin to prepare for their voyage to The Ark. While doing so, Separatist warships begin to glass Voi and the immediate vicinity to prevent further contamination by the Flood.
