Halo Walkthrough: The Pillar of Autumn

OK, this is your 'getting used to moving' as well as a really challenging level in general. You start out calibrating (i.e. learning movement) in your suit and then go through the green doors. Head right, you'll be stuck immediately, Then head left and follow the guys. They'll lead you right to the bridge.

You get to chat with the captain, and he gives you a gun. Now head left and then right to get to the cafeteria area, where there's a right going on. Help them out. Go out to the gas corridor. You hear the 'hit us' and then go around forward to the air lock. Fight here, and go in for the shield inside it.Come back out.

Now go down past the guards. You have to duck-and-jump to get over the barriers there. Go around the shield and the "32" area with more shields. Duck under and keep going.

You hit the landing now. Go around, then past the window where you overlook the pods being shot out. Go into the tunnel area and then into the Cryo Bay. Now go into the tunnel with even more guys. Now you jump into the lifeboat, and you watch a video of your group going down to the ring.

I liked this level a lot. You wake up and find you're the only one who survived the landing. Grab all the stuff and run left across the bridge immediately. The bad guys are coming. Head straight and you'll find two buildings plus some guys. Stay with them and protect them as a few drop ships come down. Soon a warthog will be dropped for you and if you're lucky you'll get one or two guys to jump into it with you. Don't run them over!

Head forward down into the mouth of the cave. You go around little corridors, and at one point you have to rev up speed to jump over a chasm. Then you get to the light bridge - a huge unjumpable chasm. Drive your warthog over to the right. There's a passageway you have to walk up to get to the light bridge controls. Activate them, then go back down to the warthog and drive across.

This is just a lot of fighting, not a lot of moving or thinking. Practice you combat techniques here and try to stay alive.

This is a three part mission - to go and protect three groups of soldiers until your ships can come and retrieve them. It doesn't matter what order you do the three groups in - all are off of a central stream area, in passageways marked by little glowing dots.

I first went striaght and jumped the stream to go up between the first glowing dots. There's a building and then the guys up on a hill. Your helpful voice points them out to you. This one is really easy. In essence you park the warthog on the hill in front of them and convince one or two guys to jump into it with you. You can easily blast anything coming up the hill before it gets to you. When you clear the bad guys out, your soldiers are lifted to safety.

Head back to the center area and go across the stream to area 2. This is the rocky one. I never find it worth it to drive the warthog into the rocks. Just park the warthog down by the broken ship and go in on foot. You can snipe the bad guys as try to get in to you. Again, once they're all dead, you're done and can head out.

The third area is the most interesting - there are several buildings. This again is easy especially if you're in two player mode. Just drive around the outside of the buildings and shoot anything that moves. They can hardly even touch you. When you get most of them, head into the buildings to get the last few that are down there. The door to get in is on the cliff side of the furthest building. That's it for this level
