On the third mission of episode 6 in spartan ops if you sneak kill all enemies on your way to the button box thing on the far right without being detected and then assassinate the elite manning the machine you can hit a button that launches an airstrike on all the enemies in the area and kills most of them. This is right at the start of the mission. I thought this was a cool little secret and just wanted to share.
Really? Makes me wish I was good at stealth =/
Classic I did that on my initial play through just by being stealthy as the grunts were asleep. That Elite keeps his back to you at the console as well, makes it easy.

Ya haha its really not that hard you just need active camo and go slow

You did it on your first play through? LOL i needed IGN to tell me this one. I never would have found it
Just heard about this on IGN too.
Halo needs more variety in it’s single player, and Spartan OPS is introducing some nice touches
I like the beginning of EPISODE 6 (the escape scene) and little touches like the AIRSTRIKE in one of the Chapters from 1-5. These kind of events just draw you into the story.
The interactive events in the campaign were cool, but I prefer less interactive cutscenes and more ‘on-rail’ scenes. Just keep them brief.
Wait, they added in stealth to a DLC optional mission?
Makes me miss previous Halos where they included stealth in the campaigns.

You dont even need to be good at stealth to do the airstrike.
First take the right path till palmer updates the coordinates of the sleeping grunts. Literally sprint to the first grunt, assassinate, sprint to the next 2 grunts assassinate them both, turn right sprint to 4th grunt assassinate, sprint to 5th grunt (keep to the right) assassinate him, sprint up and to the right by the shield and assassinate the elite, hit switch and viola air strike.
I did this on legendary with no attempt at stealth… I just did not fire my weapons, you can literally sprint up to ever grunt and assassinate them. Hell you can even miss the assassination and melee them and not kill them then assassinate them and move on.
NOW, the real challenge was assassinating the entire area. That was fun.
