Hey guys, I am currently playing through halo ce and I am on the mission truth and recon and am on the part where you rescue keyes and get back to the room where he says we can take one of the covenant's ships. then enemies come in shoot him once and dies. This keeps happening.

Is that a glitch or does he have limited health, if so is there a way of stopping him from getting hurt or will I have to restart the mission.

Yeah, I love Halo 1's checkpoint system, but that one spot is supertotalfail.

Of course captain Keyes has limited health; this is an escort mission. Halo 1 doesn't have silly nonsense like invincible allies (well, except for a chunk of metal). Optimally, you should have pushed as hard as possible after the rescue to keep damage away from Keyes; it's a pain when you get to the spot you're at when he's low on health.

However, if you have grenades, hope is not necessarily lost! Figure out how the enemies enter through which doors when, and work out an awesome grenade throwing scheme. Done right, it's possible to get through there without Keyes taking any damage. It might take a few tries, but recently I managed to pull it off on legendary.

Once you're through this room, you should be able to get to the end without any more Keyes trouble.

Cheers this should hopefully help out others, what I did was go back to the corridor before and keyes and marines followed while I stood at the door taking all damage like the hero I am and grenade spammed and sniped my way to victory ; )

Worst Mission Ever!

If Keyes really got to the Rank of Captain. Which I don't believe he did. To do that in Halo: Reach I had to kill no less than 40,000 covenant to get that many cR.

I did not see Keyes kill 40,000 covenant EVER! His promotion to Captain was undeserved. I want an inquiry into this ASAP. Bungie, I believe you can right this wrong.
