*'''Pilot''': "Thirty seconds out. Stand by to...whoa."  

''NOTE: In the Anniversary version, the rightward dropship is also cut down by the Scarab's plasma turret, leading to the events of Another Day At the Beach.''

===They'll Regret That Too===

*'''Sergeant Johnson''': "Shake it off, Marines. Clear the crash site! Go, go, go!"

*'''Marine''': "Secure this area! Dig in fella's! For now, this is home."

*'''Sergeant Johnson''': "More on the street, left side!"

''After the second wave of Covenant are killed, another [[lance]] of [[Kig-yar]] led by a [[Sangheili Minor]] appear through the path the Chief came in.''

*'''Sergeant Johnson''': "Across the street! Down low!"

*'''Sergeant Johnson (COM)''': "Eyes up! Phantom's back!"

*'''Pilot (COM)''': "My girl's a little big for that courtyard, Sergeant. I see a good LZ on the other side of these buildings. Meet you there, over."

''Before anyone can reach for a satchel, the gates begin to shake, raising dust. A few seconds later, they break, and a pair of [[Mgalekgolo]] arrive.''

*'''Sergeant Johnson (COM)''': "Ma'am?"

*'''Commander Keyes (COM)''': "My Pelicans are going to start airlifting armor and reinforcements into the city. They'll need an escort that isn't afraid of a little hostile ground fire."

===A Day at the Beach===

''The Chief drives down the beach, passing a crashed Pelican.''

*'''Cortana (COM)''': "Cut the chatter...we got trouble."

*'''Commander Keyes (COM)''': "Chief, the carrier just launched a wave of [[Covenant drop pod|pod]]s. They're inbound on your position!"

''The Chief nears a tunnel leading to the bridge.''

''The Chief moves into the highway tunnel.''

===Speed Zone Ahead===

*'''Cortana''': "The Covenant must be trying to regroup. Don't let them."

''Level ends.''

==Trivia==

===Glitches===

*When you encounter the convoy of Shadows, if you drive through the gap in the Shadow, it will not affect the Ghost and you will go straight through it.

*Before entering the first part of the tunnel, it is possible to knock the top part of the Deployable Lookout Tower off its place and will just stay on the ground. After doing this, you can get Marines out of the Warthog into the Grav-Lift and they will continuously go up and down in it.

*If you get the "REX" Sword on this level, it is possible to have it on unlimited for the next level. First, completely deplete the battery, then keep it for the next level. On the level, it will look like and say it is depleted, but when you take it out, it will appear like a Sword then disappear, and when you attack an enemy it does the same damage a normal Sword would. Note: do not pick up another weapon or it will disappear.

*It is possible to give a Marine no weapon. First, give any Marine an SMG (preferably a regular Marine, it tends not to work with Sergeants), then you must have two Magnums (have at least over 60 spare rounds, 96 would be good). Note that this only works at certain parts of the level, and that the Marines must first be in combat for it to work, the best time and best possible chance of this working is either just after the Pelican leaves with Johnson, after the fight with the Sniper Jackals around the corner, or just as you pass that. Then run up to him and while moving, take his weapon, and if done well enough, the pistol you give him will go right through him and onto the ground. When he walks, he will look kind of strange, but the funniest bit is when you get him in the side of the Warthog, he will stand up in the side with his arms spread apart in a "T" shape, and when he walks, he will look as if he is holding a Pistol ''and'' sometimes will move as if being fired at.

*It is possible to do the [[Hole in the Highway]] glitch on this level.

*The [[Blind]] and [[I Would Have Been Your Daddy]] Skulls are found on this level.

**Some of the Ultra Elites you have to fight to obtain the IWHBYD Skull are armed with human Battle Rifles and SMGs.  

**A copy of ''[[The Mombasa Times]]'' with the headline "[[Corbulo Academy of Military Science|Corbulo]] Gone... '''Not Forgotten'''", and featuring three low-resolution screen shots from ''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''.

*In ''Anniversary'' a Marine Corps recruitment billboard can be found in the courtyard, featuring an image of cheering Marines taken from the ''[[Halo Wars]]'' [[Five Long Years]] cinematic. The billboard is emblazoned with the slogan "Fight for Humanity: Join the Corps", as well as the original UNSC emblem. The billboard has been vandalized with the message "The End is Near".

===Mistakes===

*The exhaust effects on the Pelican dropships are different from the ones in [[Another Day at the Beach]].

*The Warthogs in the first cutscene have no drivers. (This has been amended in ''Halo 2: Anniversary'')  

===Miscellaneous===

*It is possible to get an Energy Sword on Easy by boarding an Ultra Elite driving a Ghost, and then get out of the Ghost and attack it until it takes out the Sword.

*At the start of the level if you get the Sniper Rifle from Johnson and jump up to the building you would normally ride the Phantom you will have a great sniping position.

*On all but three of the glass panels (at the start of the level on building in the courtyard) you will fall through unless you are running.
