 * The Road Less Traveled


 * Task Part 1 – Remove the Shield Door blocking the Underpass


 * Start by jumping in a vehicle and head towards the nav point located by the Shield Door. Before you get there you will be attacked by a Wraith as well as several Brutes and Grunts. Dismount and take out the infantry and take a Fuel Rod Gun from the dispenser and deal with the Wraith. After you deal with the Wraith a pair of Ghosts arrive and need to deal with you. Take them out and attack the Brutes and Jackals that come up from the Underpass. Head down to the Underpass and avoid the falling debris that is destroyed by the Phantom. Defeat the Brutes and Brute Chieftain that arrive with the Fuel Rod Gun. Swap the Fuel Rod Gun for a SMG and disable the Shield Door.


 * Task Part 1 Complete – Remove the Shield Door blocking the Underpass


 * Task Part 2 – Clear the Underpass


 * Enter the Underpass and shoot down the Drones nesting in the Underpass. Hide behind the crates and take them out before advancing. As you move foreword some Rorax Beetles will crawl out of the wall followed by some Drone Workers. Keep moving foreword until you reach the midway point and some Grunts setting up some Plasma Canons. Take them out silently and man a Canon to take out the Hunter Pair and Drones that are coming down from the direction you are heading. Once dealt with head to the end of the Underpass and deal with the Brutes hanging around by a second shield gate. Defeat them and deactivate the shield door to continue forward.


 * Task Part 2 Complete – Clear the Underpass


 * Deadliest Road Trip Ever


 * Task Part 3 – Take out the Mine Field


 * Jump in a Ghost that is situated outside the Underpass and turn to deal with a Brute Steed coming up from were you have just come. Head down the Highway and take out the incoming Brutes and Brute Choppers before arriving at a barricade with a Plasma Canon and several Jackal Snipers manning it. Jump out and deal with them all before a Phantom arrives and drops off both Brute Stalkers and Brute Commandos. Once dealt with jump in the Ogre Tank and drive past the barricade and head into the mine field. Keep driving and shoot the Brute Hazmat Troopers that are laying the mines before emerging on the other side.


 * Task Part 3 Complete – Take out the Mine Field


 * Task Part 4 – Remove the Enemy Armor


 * Head down the highway and get ready to take on several Rorax Beetles and Jackals on the side of the road as well as those on the observation platform. At the first off ramp after the mine field a pair of Ghosts and an Anti Air Wraith. Once defeated two Wraiths come from the off ramp and further down the highway. Deal with the closer one and then engage the other and the small group of Brutes by the side of the road. At the second off ramp some Brute Choppers and an AA Wraith arrive as well as a second AA Wraith later on in the fight. After they have been taken out shoot down the Phantoms before they drop off troops and Wraiths.


 * Task Part 4 Complete – Remove the Enemy Armor


 * Shake the Beehive


 * Task Part 5 – Take out Enemy Aircraft


 * Dismount from the Ogre and head down the off ramp to find a group of Brute Hussars and a Brute Chieftain watching some Drones work on a Wolverine. Defeat all the Covenant here and drive up the off ramp in the Wolverine to deal with the first Banshees and Wisps using the missiles. Continue shooting the aircraft down until all the trucks have passed through the gate. As this happens an Armored Assault Scarab arrives destroying the gate and blows up the highway section. Head down the off ramp and defeat the Jackals and Grunts and head for the second gate to escape.
