Players start with an Assault Rifle with a full clip and 240 rounds, and a Pistol with a full clip and 72 rounds, and four Frag grenades. Nine Marines will also follow you, all with assault rifles. Two Pelicans will fly you to an island. Predictably, Echo 419 will drop you off. The Landing Zone is filled with enemy Covenant. While in the Pelican, switch weapons so that when you get off, you will pull out a pistol. Snipe the Grunts in the head; this is important because your Marines have trouble with them. Once done, attack the Elite. It is best to use your marines as a distraction while you pummel him down with a Needler or your pistol. It's recommended to switch your Assault Rifle to a different weapon by this point, preferably a Plasma Pistol.
