Tip of The Spear is the fifth Campaign level in Halo: Reach.[1][2]
Upon completing the level on Normal or higher, the player will unlock the To War achievement and 10 Gamerscore.
Summary
The level began with Noble Six fighting alongside Catherine-B320, Noble Team's second-in-command in a large counter-attack against the Covenant, and later Jorge-052 to destroy a large tower that was powering an electromagnetic shield around a Covenant base.[3] Later in the mission, Noble Six was shot down and had to complete part of the mission on foot.[4]
Transcript
The opening scene depicts a convoy of Scorpions, Warthogs, a few Mongooses along with Falcons and 2 Pelicans.
Auntie Dot: "It appears that Noble Team's discovery last night was not an anomaly. Large Covenant deployments have occurred undetected, and we are now under attack across the Viery territory, including orbital defenses. As per the Winter Contingency, we are countering on every front. Noble's reconnaissance has also identified sophisticated Covenant army hiding canopies, and has been pointed what appears to be a landing zone for additional Covenant forces, the origin of which is yet to be determined."
Carter: "That landing zone has been tagged by UNSC command as a Priority One target."
Jun: "Det charge link is loud and clear."
Kat: "Copy that!" Acquiring signal on the pylon. Detonating in three, two..."
Kat detonates the charge that was planted on the pylon by Jun.
Banshees swoop down on the convoy and destroy part of the convoy. As Kat and Noble Six drive, the Warthogs in front get destroyed as a the bridge collapses.
Noble Six: "Incoming!"
Kat: "Might want to hold onto something!"
Fade to white.
