''The camera pans down to Noble Six, stranded on Reach, standing alone on a platform. Covenant aircraft fly overhead.''

{Gameplay}

There'll be Another Time...
''Waves of Covenant troops, including Sangheili and Unggoy, attack the lone Noble Six. Aircraft from above, while initially ignoring the SPARTAN, begin firing on the player's position.''

''Noble Six holds out for as long as possible. As more damage is taken, cracks begin to appear in the SPARTAN's visor. Eventually, the player takes enough damage and the screen turns to black.''

End Cutscene
''Noble Six's POV: SPARTAN-B312 is under heavy fire and hurt. There are two cracks in Six's visor. The SPARTAN's assault rifle is lying on the ground. The SPARTAN pulls off the damaged helmet, tosses it aside, and picks up the weapon.''

''Camera shifts to the discarded helmet's POV, which shows Noble Six making the final stand against the Covenant. A Sangheili Ultra charges at the SPARTAN, firing a plasma rifle. Noble Six kills it with the assault rifle. A Sangheili General attacks from behind with an energy sword. Noble Six knocks it to the ground and kills it with a pistol. Six is hit by a barrage of plasma fire from off-screen. The SPARTAN is wounded, bleeding, but manages to stay standing. Holding the Assault Rifle at the hip in the right hand and the pistol in the left, SPARTAN-B312 continues firing, killing two more Sangheili before another Ultra knocks Six to the ground.''

''A Sangheili Zealot appears with an energy sword and prepares to kill the downed Noble Six. The SPARTAN kicks the Ultra away and knocks the energy sword out of the Zealot's hand. The Ultra pounces on Noble Six again. Noble Six manages to elbow the Ultra in the jaw. The Zealot draws an energy dagger. The foot of a third Sangheili steps into the frame and the tips of an energy sword appear.''

Cut to Noble Six's shattered helmet, lying on the ground in the dust.

''Scene fades in to the same location, now in the future. The ground is full of grass and the skies are blue. The only evidence that a battle was fought here are a piece of debris from a destroyed ship in the background and SPARTAN-B312's helmet still lying where it fell.''

 * Halsey (voice-over): "It didn't take long for Reach to fall. Our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough."

The camera begins slowly pulling back.


 * Halsey (voice-over): "For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory - your victory - was so close... I wish you could have lived to see it."

''The camera has now pulled back to reveal a UNSC ship in the background to the left. The ship is a new arrival and not a wreck.''


 * Halsey (voice-over): "But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor - all burned and turned to glass. Everything, except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild."

Trivia

 * Lone Wolf marks the only time a post-credits sequence has been playable.
 * There is no way to beat the level, as the only objective is to survive for as long as possible. Regardless of how skilled the player might be, the level will eventually end with the player's death.
 * Seven Sangheili warriors attack SPARTAN-B312 in the ending cutscene.
 * Seven dead SPARTANs are encountered throughout the level: one is in the building whereas the other six are outside. Their armor and appearance are randomly generated. The meaning behind this is that Noble Six, seeing the bodies of these fellow SPARTANs, would know that this would be his final resting place among his fellows.
 * This mission has a single rally point, Rally Point Omega. In Greek, Omega (Ω - the last letter of the alphabet) means "last" or "the end."
 * Beside one of the dead Marines, there is a DMR with Seven bullets in its clip.
