As soon as you hear a female trooper yell out "Spartan, over here!" and Emile has a dialogue with Captain Keyes, make a beeline for the weapons at the cave opening. Keep your DMR, and trade your rocket launcher for the Spartan Laser. Charge up a shot, aim for the General, and right after it strikes switch to your DMR and shoot his shields until it breaks and he's headshot. Now that he's dead, pick off all the Jackals and Skirmishers you can from this cliff with your DMR. No worries about ammo, since there's plenty more DMR ammo ahead. As for the Elites, use the Spartan Laser. With the Ultra, use the same strategy, laser and then DMR. The Major and Minor will hang by the trucks and can be blown up, and you should be able to laser at least one of the Rangers. Once your laser ammo is depleted, go back to grab the Drop Shield and your needle rifle and rockets.

Head to the right field where the General was; it's much more open than the left field and the cover is bigger. Be sure to drop-carry all three of your weapons down there too. Your priority is any Elites still alive, and and this closer range the Noob Combo is the most effective. The remaining Ranger will move up now and he'll have a concussion rifle; all the other Elites should have plasma weapons. Use your DMR and any plasma pistol you can find before the Elites arrive, and deploy your Drop Shield if things get hairy. If you need bullets, there's a dropped DMR by the cover closest to the cliff. If there are any Skirmishers alive alive, let them come to you; they carry plasma pistols and can basically bring a fresh one to you should you need it. Don't use your needle rifle at all, but the rockets are utility. If you find yourself in an extreme emergency, the rockets are your "get out of jail card". You can use up to four to save yourself if you need to blow up a rampaging Elite ''immediately''.

Once everything is dead, leave your DMR behind, take your needle rifle and rockets, and head for stairs leading to inside the ''Commonwealth''.
