| '''Outskirts''' is a ''[[Halo 2]]'' [[campaign]] level. As the [[Master Chief]], you must battle your way through the streets of [[Old Mombasa]], [[Earth]], with [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] to reach the beach. From there you head to a [[New Mombasa 105 East|highway]] tunnel, which leads to the next level, {{Levelname|Metropolis}}. This is also the first level in which you will encounter [[Jackals]], [[Jackal Snipers]], [[Hunters]], and [[Phantom]] Dropships, as well as the first ''Halo 2'' level in which you can drive vehicles, as well as the first mission to take place on the Earth. Outskirts is also the level in ''Halo 2'' with the most Sniper Jackals; a total of 22 in all, most of which are located in the infamous "Sniper Alley".

|
| |
|
| ''As the Chief and the rest of the team arrive at a bombed-out building and a firefight breaks out.'' | | ''Note: This walkthrough require correct Grenade Jumping, precision in everything and... speed. This walkthrough is based on the current fastest Speed Run at [http://www.highspeedhalo.org High Speed Halo], Fully_Synthetic and Chad's 4:43 Legendary Co-Op run, with a bit of minor editing as I personally deem fit to allow for Single-Player use. It may be altered as and when faster runs emerge. Certain portions detailed here may only take place on Legendary and alternate methods, not detailed here, will be necessary in such events.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''Marine''': "Secure this area! Dig in fella's! For now, this is home."
| | Start moving towards the doorway. Jump onto the lamp in front, then onto the awning to the left. Turn back towards the hole you jumped up from and jump towards the pathway there. Throw a [[Frag Grenade]] as you fall and immediately jump again as you land so that you make use of the grenade's force in a [[Grenade Jump]]. Jump across the chasm to the building opposite. Throw a Frag Grenade at the wall of the building as you reach the top of the small slope and turn towards the building to the left, jumping as you reach the edge. Follow the path and jump down to the next area, then jump onto the pointed roof, then over the parapet. Follow the path in a straight line over to the next building, jumping as necessary. Throw a Frag Grenade shortly before you reach the small parapet and jump as you hit the parapet, letting the grenade blow you onto the next building. Continue walking in a straight line until you see the sign for Hotel Zanzibar. Jump over the gap between the building you are currently on and the next one, then head for the hotel and drop down. Go in and throw your currently last Frag Grenade at the Covenant in the hall, then hide to the left. Rush out and charge past the survivors, heading down to the beach. If you've been going fast enough, you should hear Miranda say "Sergeant, I need you on that bird" as you near a parked van. Find the crashed Pelican and the [[Ghost]] near it, then board it. "A Day At The Beach" will appear as you do so, as will a checkpoint. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Marine''': "Hoo-rah!'
| | Boost the Ghost past all resistance and head into the highway tunnel. You will get a checkpoint as you near the first turn. Once "Speed Zone Ahead" appears, get out of the Ghost and commandeer the Warthog that appears. Charge past the resistance. You will get a checkpoint as you pass the first group of Covenant, then a second near the little ramp. |

| *'''Sergeant Johnson''': "If they didn't know we're here before, they do now."
| |
| | |
| ''A few Covenant troops including [[Jackal]] [[Jackal Sniper|Snipers]] appear on the rooftops.''
| |
| | |

| *'''Sergeant Johnson''': "Across the street! Down low!"
| |
| | |
| ''Later, the sound of a [[Phantom]] dropship engines drifts over the rooftop.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Sergeant Johnson (COM)''': "Eyes up! Phantom's back!"
| |
| | |
| ''Once the Phantom drops off the another wave of Covenant and they are killed, another Pelican arrives, hovering over the courtyard.''
| |
| | |
| *'''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."
| |
| | |
| *'''Sergeant Johnson''': "Copy that. Someone get a satchel on the gate!"
| |
| | |
| ''Before anyone gets a chance to reach for a satchel, the gates begin to shake, raising dust. A few seconds later, it breaks, and a pair of [[Hunter]]s arrive.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Cortana''': "Hunters!"
| |
| | |
| *'''Sergeant Johnson (COM)''': "Stand back, Marines. Let the Chief show you how it's done!"
| |
| | |
| ''Once the Hunters are down.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Cortana (COM)''': "Second squad, this is Cortana. What's your status, over?"
| |
| | |
| *'''[[Gunnery Sergeant (UNSC)|Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Pete Stacker (Marine)|Pete Stacker]] (COM)''': "We're operational ma'am... barely. Our pilots didn't make it."

| *'''Commander Keyes (COM)''': "Sergeant, I need you on that bird."
| |
| | |
| *'''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."
| |
| | |
| *'''Sergeant Johnson (COM)''': "Understood. I'll keep an eye on 'em. [[Master Chief|Chief]] ... good luck."
| |
| | |
| ''Sergeant Johnson climbs aboard the Pelican and dusts off.''
| |
| | |
| ''Once the Chief and the marines reach the Second squad's position.''
| |
| | |
| *'''[[Gunnery Sergeant (UNSC)|GSGT]] [[Pete Stacker (Marine)|Stacker]]''': "Chief! Glad you could make it. Crash site's on the other side of this [[Hotel Zanzibar|hotel]], Chief. Covenant are crawling all over it. Follow me."
| |
| | |
| ''As the Sergeant and the Chief moves into the darkened hotel...''
| |
| | |
| *'''Sergeant Stacker''': "Stay outta sight."
| |
| | |
| ''Grunts and Elites come through the dark corridors. Stacker and some Marines fire on them. Emerging from the Hotel, they spot a Phantom dropping off several Grunts.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Sergeant Stacker''': "[[Grunts|You]] make my mother-in-law look pretty!"
| |
| | |
| ''A couple of marines pull up in a [[Warthog]], honking the horn for the Chief.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Marine''': "Special delivery from Commander Keyes, Chief."
| |
| | |
| *'''Cortana (COM)''': "The highest concentration of Covenant ground troops is directly below the carrier. I don't think they want you to get on board."
| |
| | |
| *'''Cortana (COM)''': "That bridge is the most direct route to the city center."
| |
| | |
| ===A Day at the Beach===
| |
| *'''Marine''': "Oh man, I love the beach..."
| |
| | |
| *'''Marine''': "I hope you packed a suit, mate!"
| |
| | |
| *'''Cortana (COM)''': "Cut the chatter...we got trouble."
| |
| | |
| ''As the Chief navigates the beaches.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Commander Keyes (COM)''': "Chief, the carrier just launched a wave of pods. They're inbound on your position!"
| |
| | |
| ''Covenant [[Orbital Insertion Pods]] slam down on the beach all around the Chief, and armed Elites spring out of them.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Cortana''': "This tunnel leads up to the bridge. It's full of rats, if you know what I mean... But it sure beats swimming."
| |
| | |
| ''As the Chief moves into the highway tunnel''
| |
| | |
| ===Speed Zone Ahead===
| |
| *'''Cortana''': "I've been analyzing the Covenant [[Battlenet|tactical chatter]]. They're surprised, confused... I don't think they expected us to be here. Not you and me...all of us...humanity, on Earth. Odd, I know, but it does help explain why they came here with such a small fleet."
| |
| | |
| ''Throughout the tunnel the team of Warthog(s) encounter many Covenant positions consisting of [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghosts]], [[Plasma Turret]]s and a few [[Battlefield Methane Tanks]].''
| |
| | |
| ''When the Chief comes across a group of [[Shadow]]s in the inner tunnels.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Cortana''': "The Covenant must be trying to regroup. Don't let them."
| |
| | |
| ''The Chief destroys the Shadows, passes through another Covenant defensive position and approaches the exit of the tunnel.''
| |
| | |
| ''Fades to black.''
| |
| | |
| ''Level ends.''
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| ===Glitches===
| |
| {{Main|Glitches}}
| |
| *Because Outskirts is the first part of a two-part level, your weapons will carry over to {{Levelname|Metropolis}}, unless one of your weapons is a Rocket Launcher. If you finish Outskirts with a Rocket Launcher, you will start Metropolis with a Battle Rifle and an SMG. The same is true for M6C Magnums.
| |
| *There is a glitch where a [[Jackal]] Sniper can kill himself.
| |
| *There is a way to get over the gate from where the Drones come in. First you go where the first Grunt is, jump on one of the lights on top, then jump on the roof, after that you go to the building behind where the Pelican crashed, then look to your left where there is an alley behind the gate.
| |
| **There is also a way to get on the other gate at the end of the alley on the other side. First, you jump on the light and then the roof but this time you have to go to the building in front of where the [[Phantom]] comes, grenade jump, and then just head straight. You should see some other buildings with those bridge-like things. Then you get on top of the building with the bridge and just go further straight until you see the inside part, head down and down to the alley and on this place you could see the gate that you went over.
| |
| *If you are on the broken bridge when the Pelican takes Johnson, you can jump on the Pelican and go with it but the Pelican will eventually disappear.
| |
| *A Tri-gate can be found on this level, though it may be a graphical error.
| |
| *It is possible to "kill" Sergeant Johnson by boosting into him and pushing him into a wall. He will disappear into the wall.{{citation needed}}
| |
| *If you go out of the map into the water at the end of the level and continue back you pass several structures going into the water, one of these has a black rectangle that produces water effects when shot.
| |
| *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.
| |
| *There is a glitch in this level where you can kill both the [[Hunter]]s with one shot from a [[Battle Rifle]]. When they break through the gates, stand on top of the building across from it, on the glass roof. When they come through the gate, aim for the [[Fuel Rod Gun]] on the second [[Hunter]]'s arm. When it goes to shoot, hit it once, and if you're in the right position, the explosion will kill them both.
| |
| *There is a glitch that makes Hotel Zanzibar different. You need the [[Sputnik Skull]] and an [[Energy Sword]]. Grenade jump up to the complete top of the building where the ground is invisible and you can see the invisible roof. Walk all over it and start Sword charging and you'll eventually go through the roof and land inside Hotel Zanzibar. The difference is that when you do the glitch, the Hotel is empty, the lights are on, no allies or enemies are present and the Hotel is completely deserted. If you go to the start of the level or just before the end and go back to the Hotel it will not be empty, it will have the lights flickering and possibly the allies and enemies.
| |
| *At the first part of the level (just before the Hunters come) try to keep as many Marines alive as you can. When the Hunters arrive, kill at least one using the turret then jump past the other one, then run straight to where the Pelican arrives and you will receive an additional three Marines, making it possible to have six Marines for the second part, but you must not kill both Hunters before attempting or the Marines will follow and this will not work.
| |
| *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.
| |
| [[Image:DSC00228.jpg |thumb|200px|right|The gravity tower top that is separated from the base.]]
| |
| *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.
| |
| | |
| ===Easter Eggs===
| |
| {{Main|Easter Eggs}}
| |
| *The [[Blind]] and [[I Would Have Been Your Daddy]] Skulls are found on this level.
| |
| *On the roof, there is a small room with an [[Energy Sword]] also known as the "REX" sword because of the rocks next to it. It is also called "Excalibur" because it is sticking out of a rock.
| |
| *The building with the Blind Skull has four grenades that are stacked by the skull and a spotter’s scope.
| |
| *If you listen closely you can hear a man talking through a megaphone, and if you are wondering where the his voice is projecting from you can find some megaphones on the walls of buildings and on the highway tunnel.
| |
| *There is an [[Invincible Warthog]] on this level.
| |
| *You can get a [[Scarab Gun]] on this level.
| |
| | |
| ===Mistakes===
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Pelican_Damage_Comparisons.jpg|thumb|The two cutscenes featuring different damaged Pelicans.]]
| |
| | |
| *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.
| |
| *In the beginning of the level you can get an [[SMG]] with more ammo than usual, 240 to be exact.
| |
| *It's possible, on your way to the IWHBYD skull, to see the edge of the world.
| |
| *The Pelican that picks up Johnson has no pilot.
| |
| | |
| ===References===
| |
| | |
| *The hotel you go into is called Hotel Zanzibar, which is not as previously thought an obvious reference to the multiplayer level, [[Zanzibar]], as that is slightly illogical and is more likely to be the part of Africa called Zanzibar seeing as New Mombasa is in Africa.
| |
| *In both the second levels of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] and [[Halo 2]], a [[UNSC]] craft ferrying Master Chief crashes. The Pelican that Master Chief rides on crashes, just like the lifeboat that he rode on in Halo: CE. However, unlike the latter, [[7]] marines survive.
| |
| *There are [[7]] waves of Elites if you get the IWHBYD skull. The [[7]] waves of Elites most likely comes from [[Bungie]]'s obsession for [[7]] references.
| |
| *The beginning of the first cutscene was used in a spoof Geico commercial.
| |
| | |
| ===Miscellaneous===
| |
| | |
| *This level was originally going to be entirely in New Mombasa, and there were not going to be any Scarabs. A gameplay video of the old version can be found on the bonus DVD to the Halo: Original Soundtrack.
| |
| *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.
| |
| *It is possible to complete this level on all difficulties without having to shoot your hand held weapon once. Immediately, go out into the courtyard, go to the left down the street, into an alley, and hop on the roofs. Jump from roof to roof until you reach the Zanzibar hotel. Then, go in and let your marines take out the Grunts and Elites. Whoever they don't kill you can beat down. Then, get in a Ghost or Warthog and drive through the rest of the level without getting out.

| *All the fires on this level won't harm you even if you are unshielded.
| |
| *This is the only level in all three games where there are [[Shadows]].
| |
| *Before meeting the Shadows, you can hear the same ringing bell which is at the beginning of [[Blow Me Away]].
| |
| *There is a hidden Sniper Rifle on the building where two [[Jackals]] appear after Johnson leaves.
| |
| *It is possible to save up to six Warthogs on this level if they come out.
| |
| *You can get on top of most buildings with the Sputnik Skull turned on.
| |
| *You can get on top of the second [[Phantom]] with a grenade jump with the Sputnik Skull turned on.
| |
| *The pictures where they show Master Chief on a turret killing Grunts and the picture of a jester-like-person are found in human-like maps for multiplayer.
| |
| *In the beginning of the level, you can trap the [[Hunters]] that break through the gate. To do this, you must completely block the gate off with the white overturned truck and every other container you find. If the [[Sputnik Skull]] is turned on, it will make the process a lot easier and faster. Also, it is a good idea to have the [[Thunderstorm Skull]] on as well.
| |
| *The crashed Pelican first seen when arriving at the beach is the same one that crashed in, [[Another Day at the Beach]].
| |
| *The very first Grunt you encounter in this level will always turn his back to you if you advance towards him, giving you a free assassination.
| |
| *If Pete Stacker is killed at Hotel Zanzibar, then the music in the hallway will not play.

Transcript
First Cinematic: "They'll Regret That Too"
{Three Pelicans leave In Amber Clad, fly towards New Mombasa}
Cortana: "The message just repeats." {Focus on the Chief while line is being said} "Regret. Regret. Regret."
Miranda: "Catchy." {Focus on Miranda in In Amber Clad} "Any idea what it means?"
Sergeant Johnson: "Dear Humanity." {Cut to distant side view of Pelicans flying into New Mombasa} "We regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth." {Cut to view inside cockpit of Pelican, showing Johnson and two pilots} "And we most certainly regret that the Corps blew up our raggedly ass fleet!"
Pilots {In unison}: "Hoo-rah!"
{Cut to bird's-eye view of Pelicans flying over New Mombasa
Cortana: "Regret is a name, Sergeant. The name of one of the Covenant's religious leaders. A Prophet. {Cut to Pelicans flying over convoy of Warthogs} "He's on that carrier, and he's calling for help."
{Cut to front view of Pelicans flying over a rooftop with a Marine sniper-spotter team}
Marine spotter: "Grid Kilo 23 is hot. Recommend mission abort."
{As he speaks, the camera pans so it is eventually facing the backs of the team and the Pelicans}
Pilot: "Roger, recon." {Cut back to view inside cockpit} "Your call, Sarge."
Johnson: {Pointing left index finger} "We're going in." {He turns to face the left} "Get tactical, marines!"
{Cut to scene of Marines checking their equipment}
Lord Hood (voiceover on radio): "Master Chief, get aboard that carrier. Secure the Prophet of Regret." {Cut to scene of Marine putting on helmet, with the Chief looking out the back of the Pelican, back to the viewer} "This is the only place on Earth the Covenant decided to land." {Cut to close-up side view of Pelicans flying by} "That Prophet is going to tell us why."
Pilot: "30 seconds out." {Return to view inside cockpit} "Stand by to- Whoa."
{A Scarab walks into view, as seen through the windshield of the Pelican. Cut back outside. Its leg spears a bus. Panels open up, revealing a cannon's muzzle, and it gathers energy. Cut to side view, as it fires. A beam of energy lances out and destroys one Pelican. A launcher mounted on the top of the Scarab fires plasma at the Pelican holding Johnson and the Chief, which spins left in an attempt to dodge, but gets hit. The other Pelican flies to the right and is untouched. The hit Pelican crash-lands on its back on a rooftop with an explosion. Fade to black as cinematic ends and gameplay starts}
Gameplay
{The display starts blurred}
Cortana (Legendary): "Blink if you can hear me, Chief."
{The Chief complies, blinks once}
Johnson: "Shake it off, Marines!" {The display clears, HUD appears} "Clear the crash site! Go go go!"
Walkthrough
Normal Walkthrough
{Needs to be done}
Speed Run Walkthrough
Note: This walkthrough require correct Grenade Jumping, precision in everything and... speed. This walkthrough is based on the current fastest Speed Run at High Speed Halo, Fully_Synthetic and Chad's 4:43 Legendary Co-Op run, with a bit of minor editing as I personally deem fit to allow for Single-Player use. It may be altered as and when faster runs emerge. Certain portions detailed here may only take place on Legendary and alternate methods, not detailed here, will be necessary in such events.
Start moving towards the doorway. Jump onto the lamp in front, then onto the awning to the left. Turn back towards the hole you jumped up from and jump towards the pathway there. Throw a Frag Grenade as you fall and immediately jump again as you land so that you make use of the grenade's force in a Grenade Jump. Jump across the chasm to the building opposite. Throw a Frag Grenade at the wall of the building as you reach the top of the small slope and turn towards the building to the left, jumping as you reach the edge. Follow the path and jump down to the next area, then jump onto the pointed roof, then over the parapet. Follow the path in a straight line over to the next building, jumping as necessary. Throw a Frag Grenade shortly before you reach the small parapet and jump as you hit the parapet, letting the grenade blow you onto the next building. Continue walking in a straight line until you see the sign for Hotel Zanzibar. Jump over the gap between the building you are currently on and the next one, then head for the hotel and drop down. Go in and throw your currently last Frag Grenade at the Covenant in the hall, then hide to the left. Rush out and charge past the survivors, heading down to the beach. If you've been going fast enough, you should hear Miranda say "Sergeant, I need you on that bird" as you near a parked van. Find the crashed Pelican and the Ghost near it, then board it. "A Day At The Beach" will appear as you do so, as will a checkpoint.
Boost the Ghost past all resistance and head into the highway tunnel. You will get a checkpoint as you near the first turn. Once "Speed Zone Ahead" appears, get out of the Ghost and commandeer the Warthog that appears. Charge past the resistance. You will get a checkpoint as you pass the first group of Covenant, then a second near the little ramp.
