Halo: Warhunt/Takedown

"Takedown" is the second level of the game Halo: Warhunt. It is the first level where the player can use weapons and the first level with enemies.

Plot
Fireteam Caliber is deployed into a large desert at the edge of a Covenant outpost. After eliminating the border patrols, the team splits up, with Spartan Julia, Jacques, and Caliber Five destroying on of the site's two AA guns, while Spartans Cadence and Liana attempt to disable the second one. When a CRS-class light cruiser arrives on the scene, Caliber Five disables the site's defenses via the control room atop a Covenant spire, before assisting Cadence with hijacking the second AA gun to use against the flotilla deployed by the cruiser. Eventually, the Covenant airships swarm the site, and Fireteam Caliber is overwhelmed.

Transcript
{Cutscene}

''It is a barren desert, with desolate sand dunes stretching to the horizon. In a cleared out area is a Covenant base, with multiple watchtowers set up at the edge, and two T-38 Tyrant AA guns parallel to each other. In the center of the site is a large Covenant spire. Out along the edge of the dunes is a patrol of two Unggoy Storms and a Kig-Yar Heavy. The trio stops and the Kig-Yar cocks its head up towards the sky. The Kig-Yar’s eyes widen and it screeches as Fireteam Caliber crashes to the ground, crushing the two Unggoy. Spartan Julia takes aim with her M395B DMR, firing off three shots at the Kig-Yar’s shield.''


 * Kig-Yar Heavy: “Why me?!”

''The Kig-Yar stumbles, revealing its vulnerable body. Julia fires once more, dropping the Kig-Yar.''


 * Julia: “We’re clear.”

''Julia lowers her DMR, and the rest of Fireteam Caliber ready their weapons. Fade to black.''

{Gameplay}

Fireteam Caliber spreads out.


 * Cadence (COMS): “Caliber Two, how many more patrols are here?”


 * Julia (COMS): “From the look I got while we were in freefall, there’s at least four more. Others could be rotated in at some point, though.”


 * Cadence (COMS): “Alright, let’s stick together for now. Take out the perimeter patrols quick and quiet. Don’t want one of us to be caught alone by a patrol.”

''Caliber Five’s MJOLNIR system shows the Spartan-IV how to use his/her weapons, zoom in, reload, throw grenades, and keep track of a weapon’s ammunition. The team moves closer to the site, encountering an Unggoy patrol.''


 * Cadence (COMS): “Grunts. Easy pickings.”

''The team eliminate the Unggoy and move on. They near one of the watchtowers, where two patrols of Unggoy and Kig-Yar have converged. Atop the tower is a Sangheili Storm, barking orders to the Covenant troops below.''


 * Jacques (COMS): “Elite!”

The team opens fire, killing the Unggoy and Kig-Yar, as well as the Sangheili.


 * Julia (COMS): “Heads up, the Covenant battlenet just lit up! The Elite must have alerted them to our position!”

''The Covenant in the site stop milling about, and start getting into combat formations and charging their weapons. Multiple Sangheili retreat into the confines of the spire.''


 * Cadence (COMS): “Dammit! That complicates things. Change of plan. Caliber Two, you and Three take Five to take out one of the AA guns. Caliber Four and I will go for the other. Then, we move on the spire.”


 * Julia (COMS): “Affirmative.”

''Spartans Cadence and Liana jog away to the second AA gun. If Five attempts to follow them:''


 * Cadence (COMS): “Five, you’re supposed to go with Julia and Jacques!”

If Five continues to follow:


 * Cadence (COMS): “Five, I gave you an order.”

''Five follows Julia and Jacques towards the first AA gun. The fourth patrol is blocking their way. The team eliminates the patrol and arrives at the foot of the hill that the AA gun is stationed on. Multiple Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and Sangheili defend the structure. The three Spartans kill them and enter the AA gun. Inside are three Sangheili. With some effort, the Spartans kill them as well.''


 * Julia (COMS): “We need to destroy the gun’s core to get it offline. A grenade would do the job.”

''Five destroys the core, and the Spartans exit the AA gun before it explodes. The cannon’s fragments collapse to the ground.''


 * Julia (COMS): “AA gun down on our position, Caliber One. Ready to assault the Covenant spire.”
