Human-Covenant War
"Make a move split-jaw!"

- James to an Elite.

Battle of Rammer
Though a minor engagement, the Battle of Rammer was the first deployment for both Kyle and James. The planet had a steady defense before Viper arrived to assist in local space defenses. The defense fleet held their own while Kyle and James would guard the main defensive platform. The spartans were easily able to clear Deck 17 and its outside passageways. While moving through the station, Viper was ordered to defend the station's MAC gun from the outside against inbound elites.

After the MAC gun was proven safe, the spartans returned back inside and found a HAVOC Nuke. Entering a pelican, Kyle jumped to a Covenant cruiser below while James would return to the planet's surface. James was deployed to the city of Watson where he would defend against the incoming Covenant along the shoreline.

Battle of Watson City
As James was transported into the city, he was able to contact Kyle and have him redirect his pelican to his position.However, James had to hold off three wraiths from the incoming highway. Once at the shoreline, Viper went to work and cleared the beach and entered the sub-terrain highway system. While in the highway, the spartans engaged two convoys of five   each. Once outside the highway system, the spartans reached a UNSC roadblock on the Centennial Bridge. While on the bridge, the spartans encountered several Covenant ghost and phantoms along the way while UNSC warthogs and scorpions deployed behind them. After clearing the bridge, Kyle and James entered the deeper city and linked up with local UNSC forces. Once linked, Kyle led the charge towards both a wildlife preserve and a Covenant defense station nearby along with a possible evacuation point.

Kyle and James would attack the Covenant defense station while the marines would clear the wildlife preserve and ODST would capture the evacuation point. After entering Covenant territory, the spartans were taken under fire and were almost pinned down was it not for Kyle's rockets. Moving through the far out defenses, the spartans reached the main camp site. Kyle and James entered the camp and made quick work of all the Covenant in the area. Before leaving, the spartans located captured UNSC personnel and captured civilians.
