The '''''Pillar of Autumn''''' is the first level in the campaign mode of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' in the [[Halo Trilogy]]. The [[Master Chief]] is revived from his cryo-sleep and makes his way the bridge of the titular ship to be debriefed by [[Captain Keyes]] about their current situation. After the brief meeting, the Master Chief makes his way off the ship via Bumblebee escape pod.


This level is modified depending on the difficulty chosen. [[Staff Sergeant|SSgt.]] [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] makes different speeches at the beginning of the level, one for each difficulty. In [[Easy]] and [[Normal]], the player goes through a testing diagnostic showing the bare basics of controls. In [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulty, it is automatically skipped and the player immediately heads out to find [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]]. In Easy and Normal difficulty, the motion sensor and grenades are disabled until certain moments in the level. On Heroic and Legendary, they can be used right from the start.
