 [[File:SO-EP1-CH2.png|thumb|300px|The area known as Sniper Alley on Requiem.]]
-The Sniper Alley location is an area on Requiem that leads to the power core for the planet's [[particle cannon]] network and the AI personality of the [[Librarian]]. [[John-117]] entered the area to neutralize the particle cannon network to allow him to reach and destroy the [[gravity well]] holding the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} on the planet. After clearing [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]] from the area, John-117 faced [[Promethean]] forces. He managed to defeat all of them and progress within the structure and disable the network.<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''', campaign level ''[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]''</ref>

-Six months later [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] forces had put up an energy source and were drawing energy from the Forerunner mechanisms within the planet. The ''Infinity'' sent in [[Fireteam Crimson]] to locate the power source and eliminate the Covenant in the area. Crimson was successful and an air strike was conducted, destroying the generator. Crimson then was extracted from the area.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''Episode 1, Chapter 2: "Sniper Alley"''</ref> Later en route to [[The Refuge (Requiem location)|the Refuge]], Crimson's [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] was shot down by Covenant-run Forerunner anti-air turrets. Crimson managed to survive, clear Covenant from the location yet again, and disable the turrets. Crimson then continued to the Refuge.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''Episode 2, Chapter 4: "Pelican Down"''</ref> Despite their two defeats, the Covenant did not give up on the location and re-established a presence, secretly communicating by using a generator in Sniper Alley.
