You’ll be in control of Sergeant Forge and you need to find a few pinned down marines in order to make your way back to Alpha Base.  Being the first mission, this is an easy task.

Drive Sergeant Forge over to the marines just up ahead and destroy the Covenant.  Take the other Warthog Scout with you and drive over the bridge, killing three more Covenant.

Follow the blue arrow that points to your destination and help out two more pinned down marines - who will join you afterwards.  You’re starting to build a small-scaled army already, right?

Continue up ahead and fight off two more Covenant groups.  The best way to deal with them right now is to ride over them (by pressing the Y-button).

Destroy more Covenant troops and head for the base.  When you get there, select the Marines to move near the gate and target the Power Source just behind it.

If you want to get [BLACK BOX #01] you’ll need to select a group of Marines and head down the green ramp on the left of the bridge before the power source.  The Box is lying on the lower left side of the bridge.

Head inside the base and exterminate all Covenant.  This concludes mission 1.
