It begins with a [[UNSC]] [[Warthog]] convoy moving to [[Voi]], its objective to punch through the [[Covenant]] [[Type-27 Mantis|anti-aircraft defenses]] that surround the supposed [[Portal at Voi|Ark]] and allow [[Lord Hood]]'s small fleet to launch a direct strike against the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]] in hopes of killing Truth and stopping the firing of the [[Halo Array|Halo rings]]. [[UNSC Marine]] forces, led by [[John-117]], fight through several pitched skirmishes through the industrial zone of Voi. | It begins with a [[UNSC]] [[Warthog]] convoy moving to [[Voi]], its objective to punch through the [[Covenant]] [[Type-27 Mantis|anti-aircraft defenses]] that surround the supposed [[Portal at Voi|Ark]] and allow [[Lord Hood]]'s small fleet to launch a direct strike against the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]] in hopes of killing Truth and stopping the firing of the [[Halo Array|Halo rings]].

After breaking through the industrial area, John meets up with a group of approximately five [[M274 Mongoose|Mongoose]] ATVs and commandeers one with a [[Marine]] riding 'pillion' using a [[M41 SPNKR|rocket launcher]]. They immediately engage a squadron of [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Wraith|Anti-Air Wraith]] tanks to secure a landing zone as [[Type-25 Chopper|Brute Choppers]] and [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]] attack. Covenant forces are being continually reinforced by [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantoms]]. [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornets]] and [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] fly above, vying for control of the skies.

After John destroys the massive walker, remaining UNSC forces prepare to push into a [[Jiralhanae]]-controlled warehouse. | ||
With reinforcements led by [[Thel 'Vadam]] along with the [[civilian|Voi Factory Workers]], the Chief and his allies push onwards, engaging nearly a dozen [[Jiralhanae]] armed with [[Type-25 Spiker|spiker]]s and [[Type-25 Brute Shot|brute shot]]s, a pair of [[Mgalekgolo]], and a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] wielding a [[Type-2 gravity hammer|Gravity Hammer]]. They finally press on to the anti-aircraft battery, engaging a small Covenant force defending it, including a [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain]]. Eventually, they succeeded in destroying the gun, enabling three [[UNSC frigate]]s to attack [[Anodyne Spirit|Truth's ship]]. Unfortunately, the assault fails to damage Truth's ship. The artifact opens and activates a massive portal, which Truth and the rest of the Covenant fleet use to escape. Before the UNSC can figure out what to do next, [[Indulgence of Conviction|a badly damaged Covenant cruiser]] enters Earth's orbit and crashes into a nearby factory. An [[Flood|even deadlier enemy]] has arrived... | With reinforcements led by [[Thel 'Vadam]] along with the [[civilian|Voi Factory Workers]], the Chief and his allies push onwards, engaging nearly a dozen [[Jiralhanae]] armed with [[Type-25 Spiker|spiker]]s and [[Type-25 Brute Shot|brute shot]]s, a pair of [[Mgalekgolo]], and a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] wielding a [[Type-2 gravity hammer|Gravity Hammer]].

*The [[Banshees]] at the anti-air defense gun fly around for no reason. They can be shot down for some points. But sometimes one or two will shoot at the player for a second.
