Uplift Reserve is a Halo 3: ODST Campaign level. Played from Dutch's point of view, it takes place in the Uplift Reserve in New Mombasa.[1]
Summary
Uplift Reserve is the chronologically second flashback level of the game. The level opens 30 minutes after the drop, as a UAV observes Dutch walking on the beach of Uplift Reserve. He watches the aircraft fly by, right into New Mombasa, and proceeds to move out of the park through the heavy Covenant resistance, which includes Wraiths and multiple other vehicles. Several Marine platoons are also present in the area, and at one point Dutch is tasked with finding one of them. While driving into the last section of the park, Dutch witnesses the collapse of the Orbital Elevator as a drone aircraft crashes into it. In the end, he manages to drive out of the park, through a gap in the wall surrounding it, right into the streets of the city.[2]
Trivia
- Completing the level on Normal or above unlocks the Uplift Reserve achievement, as well as the character Dutch for Firefight mode.[3]
- There is also an achievement called Wraith Killer which requires the player to destroy every Wraith encountered during the course of the level in order to be unlocked.[4]
- The beacon object of this level is a damaged drone optics package. It gets detached from the aircraft when it crashes to a statue, just after Dutch exits the park.
- Near the Covenant landing zone with the gravity lift base, where a group of Marines are taking cover behind a ridge, there's a crazed Marine with a broken ankle, and another Marine trying to calm him down. Most likely a reference to Halo 3's suicidal marine.
- The Covenant landing zone appears to be an advanced version of the one encountered on The Truth and Reconciliation (Level). This is probably due to the fact that the landing zone on Truth and Reconciliation was for a CCS-class Battlecruiser and not an Assault Carrier(which is of a greater value and quality than a Battlecruiser).
