Willy: Spriggs! Come back here and die you son of a bitch!
Triple M: Quote, I'll burn you all to get that son of a bitch?, unquote.
Willy: He was asking for it.
Triple M: But you missed him and HIT EVERYTHING ELSE!
A peace treaty between the humans and the Covenant Elites has ended the war. The Fifth Intergalactic Infantry stationed on Zambi 7 have relatively little to do but avoid Specialist Willy's attempts to kill Specialist Spriggs. However they don't realize that there is a reason that they have been stationed on this planet. The army is getting tired of all the chaos they cause and has shipped them out to this planet to get them out of their hair. As well, a group of Elites crashed on the planet and don't seem to realize the war is over.

Provides examples of:
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The evil computer has many death traps to try to kill them all with.
- Such as the "Obibital Bombardment".
- A-Team Firing: No matter what the circumstance, the aliens are almost never able to hit their target.

- Willy, after failing to catch Spriggs...again.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: When Spriggs kills two of General Vollin's mooks with a single blast of a Spartan Laser, a pop-up for the "Two For One" achievement appears on the screen. This was either edited in for humor, or the scene was actually shot in a Halo 3 Matchmaking game, which was the only way to earn the achievement.
