You might want to take a Chopper from here, though a Mongoose/rocket-Marine combo is preferable. The Prowler is another option. A more effective but proportionally more involved strategy would be to give the Fuel Rod Gun to another Marine/ODST, and get your Rocket Marine/ODST and Fuel Rod Gun Marine/ODST to each ride shotgun in a Prowler while a third Marine/ODST mans the mounted cannon. This will take a lot of time swapping weapons and forcing AI allies in and out of particular seats, but it will be worth it. While you lose the ability to inflict damage yourself, you are now a highly mobile and extremely powerful tank, assuming your teammates have any sense of accuracy whatsoever (and the AI usually do). This would also likely be very effective in Co-op as well. What would formerly be a long, drawn-out skirmish with the [[Anti-Air Wraiths]] and their infantry/Ghost-mounted backup becomes an instant walk in the park on lower difficulties. | You might want to take a Chopper from here, though a Mongoose/rocket-Marine combo is preferable.

After [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]] says his lines, exit the basin and head left, taking out a few Ghosts on the way. Along the way, you can grab the "[[Halo 3 | After [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]] says his lines, exit the basin and head left, taking out a few Ghosts on the way. Along the way, you can grab the "[[Halo 3 skulls#Famine|Famine]]" [[Halo 3 skulls|skull]] if you're playing on [[Normal]] or higher difficulty. At the top of the next hill you'll meet some more Ghosts and a Brute Captain (who may be wielding a Fuel Rod Gun). They are fighting some Marines, who you may be able to save if you can kill the Brute quickly. | ||
There is a functional Warthog in the area. Get a gunner and rocket-carrying passenger, or use a Prowler if one is still intact. You may use the Chopper, but it is very vulnerable in the next basin. Some players opt to snipe out as many infantry with their Battle Rifle as possible before moving in, and others simply use a Ghost to fire on the Wraith from an extreme distance. | There is a functional Warthog in the area.

When the ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'' lands, take one of the [[Scorpions]] that are lowered from its bay. If any ODSTs from previous engagements survived, a few may enter the Pelican and be taken away; make sure that they don't take any useful weapons with them. Go back the way you came and hit the new Covenant forces. This part is absurdly easy; just backtrack while blasting everything in sight—including a large amount of Wraiths, two Phantoms, and a pair of Hunters—until you get back to the bridge. Enter the wall, resisting the temptation to attack [[343 Guilty Spark]] (or not, if you have spare ammo). Activate the energy bridge inside and continue on. | When the ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'' lands, take one of the [[Scorpions]] that are lowered from its bay.

After going through the wall, a [[Gauss Warthog]] shows up; let the Marine man the turret. Head right and down to the Scorpions, or go to the left and destroy four Ghosts. You can choose to stay in the Gauss Warthog for a while; they're excellent for destroying smaller vehicles, and it's easy to avoid the Wraith's mortar blasts. Once you've destroyed both lines of Wraiths, a [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarab]] will show up, at which point a Scorpion is really your best bet (or perhaps even a Wraith if you want to commandeer one). The Scarab itself isn't that deadly; the large metal structure in the middle of the clearing provides sufficient cover, and from its roof, you can attack the Scarab at your leisure.

Go up the tower; a Brute with a Fuel Rod Gun will greet you. At this point, you probably have a Fuel Rod Gun of your own. You can drive the Scorpion partway up the tower, which makes the approach very easy. If you happen to have a Plasma Cannon, however, you should advance on foot (unless you don't mind backtracking to retrieve it). There are a few clusters of Brutes and Jackal snipers, and once you get halfway up the tower, you will encounter a few [[Brute Stalkers]] (who more or less stand around). | Go up the tower; a Brute with a Fuel Rod Gun will greet you.
