Despite the Marines cheating, the Spartans were still victorious, winning once again; this time by infiltrating the base and detonating [[Stun Grenade]]s beneath Tango company's barracks buildings, inflicting many casualties.

But, not fooled, the young supersoldiers once again outsmarted and overcame the hapless Marines. | Despite the Marines cheating, the Spartans were still victorious, winning once again; this time by infiltrating the base and detonating [[Stun Grenade]]s beneath Tango company's barracks buildings, inflicting many casualties.
