Tsavo Highway (level)/Walkthrough

Walkthrough
This level is very easy if done correctly. In the beginning of this level, you should pick your weapons wisely. When you first start out, turn on your flashlights and go to the left. Pick up a Shotgun in replacement of your Assault Rifle. Then, go to the edge of the room to a Marine in pain. One by the door should have a Shotgun laying right next to him. Then, get into the Transport Warthog if on Single play. Along the way on this level, until you make it to the broken path, make sure your Marines take all Fuel Rods and Beam Rifles. Drive around and kill all enemies in the doorway and kill all of the next wave that includes a Brute, some Jackals, and some Grunts. Take the Spiker and give it to a Marine (preferably not the one in front).

Next, kill the next two Jackals and take their Beam Rifles and give them to the Marines. Continue on until the part with the Plasma Cannons. Kill all inhabitants, and take the Brute's Fuel Rod Gun. Give this to the Marine in the front of the Warthog. Then, in the big bowl-shaped fighting area, take you Warthog and park it next to the concrete slabs. A group of Covenant will come up, so take them out with the Marines' help and move it over the depression. Switch to your Battle Rifle. Snipe the Jackals with the Beam Rifles with your Battle Rifle, there are two on the bridge, and two on the support towers floating in mid-air. Next, snipe the Brutes with Brute Shots with your Battle Rifle if possible. If you don't have enough ammunition, pick up the Jackal's Beam rifle and then snipe them. Next, get back into your Warthog and splatter over the remaining Covenant forces. Pick up a Jackal's full Beam Rifle and give the others to the Marines. Drive to the next part where the Warthog gets run over by the Chopper. Kill the drivers of the Choppers or let the Marines take care of it. Take care of the rest of the Covenant forces. Next, drive up near the part where the Drones attack. When they first come, drive away and let the Marines take care of them. Do this continually until all Drones are dead. Get out of the Warthog and take a Chopper through the next part.

After that, take your Chopper over the next step: The Broken Path. First, ramp over the first broken road segment. Then, take the Chopper and take out any enemies in your way. Kill all enemies and go to the Wraith. Take it out with a grenade, Chopper cannons, or fists. Then, return to the former fighting area. Splatter all Brutes with your Chopper and beware of the Brute Chieftain.

Next, take a Warthog and give the passenger a Fuel Rod Gun. Pick up the Sniper Rifle at the top of the Tower and continue on in the Warthog. In the farther road, drive straight past all enemies. Go through the tunnel and kill the two Brutes next to the Choppers. When you reach the next part of the level, do not stop moving. Take out most of the Choppers before you go near the two Wraiths. After all enemies around are gone, take out the two Shades. On the top of the hill, shoot the gunner off with a Chopper, and melee the driver off. Take the Wraith. Continue on to the small Covenant set-up with Plasma Mortar.

Watch out for Jump-pack Brutes, for they can board the Wraith. After all enemies in that area are gone, go to the side of the road and pick up a Battle Rifle and Sniper Rifle ammunition. Get back in your Wraith. Fire the Mortar so that the Shade is destroyed. Get out after it is destroyed and use the Sniper rifle to take out any Brutes. When you are out of Sniper Rifle ammunition, take out your Battle rifle or switch it for a Brute Shot. Take out the remaining Brutes and energy shield. If the level doesn't end and you can't see any Brutes and the shield is offline, search around for the last Brute. They are hard to hear but easy to kill.

Achievement Help
 We're in for Some Chop: Towards the start of the level, you will get to the area with two choppers and the first shield door. As you enter this area, towards the right will be a few small huts. Inside these are trip mines, which are pretty much the only type of equipment capable of getting the achievement. Go out to the Choppers, and get one to follow you. As its coming towards you, throw down the trip mine in front of it, and it should destroy it. It may help to damage it with gun attacks as well so that it has no chance of surviving the impact.
