==Plot==

The game takes place during the [[Battle of Reach]], the [[John-117|Master Chief]] fights his way through waves of Covenant forces invading the "Complex". At the end he is picked up by a [[Pelican]], but later shot down. After wandering through a forest, he finds a [[Warthog]]. At the end of the ride he gets out and stops a Covenant bomb from destroying a generator. Once the bomb is disarmed, [[Vice Admiral]] [[Whitcomb]] sends the Chief a transmission saying he's a prisoner on a Covenant ship. Once the Admiral is rescued, the Master Chief goes to [[CASTLE Base]] and saves [[Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]], who stole an artifact. Together, Johnson and the Chief fight against the Covenant forces until a Pelican arrives to pick them up, carrying them to safety.
