'''Halo: Combat Part Two''' is a short video created in collaboration with [[Bungie Studios]], [[Neill Blomkamp]], [[WETA Workshop]] and [[Origami Digital LLC]]. It is the last in the [[Halo: Landfall|trilogy]] of shorts, continuing where ''[[Halo: Combat]]'' left off. It was released on September 24, 2007; only twelve hours before the much-anticipated release of ''[[Halo 3]]''. In an unusual move, the video was first unveiled on the website of the Discovery Channel, as part of a promotion for a completely unrelated television show titled ''Last One Standing''.

'''''Halo: Last One Standing''''' is a short video created in collaboration with [[Bungie|Bungie Studios]], [[Neill Blomkamp]], [[WETA Workshop]] and [[Origami Digital LLC]]. It is the last in the [[Halo: Landfall|trilogy]] of shorts, continuing where ''[[Halo: Combat]]'' left off. It was released on September 24, 2007; only twelve hours before the release of ''[[Halo 3]]''. The video was unveiled on the Discovery Channel's website to promote an unrelated television show titled ''[[Wikipedia:Last Man Standing (UK TV series)|Last One Standing]]''.


==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
''Halo: Last One Standing'' opens on where ''Combat Part 1'' left off, with the two [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|Marine ODSTs]], Bravo-21 ([[T. Rymann]]) and Bravo-22 ([[S. Hartley]]), in their [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] making their way to a squad of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] holding off an advancing column of [[Jiralhanae]]. The Spike in Hartley's gut is causing him intense pain and is likely to be fatal without immediate treatment. They drive through an abandoned industrial area toward a damaged satellite dish. When they arrive, they are forced to hold the line, waiting for [[John-117]] to enter range while Bravo-28, a female [[Hospital Corpsman|Corpsman]] named [[R. Coney]], tries to treat Bravo-22's wounds. A [[Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade|Spike Grenade]] attaches to a wall near where the Marines are under cover - the Marine retaliates by breaking cover, grabbing the device and hurling it in the air, where it explodes and destroys a strafing [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]].


A Phantom begins its approach to the ground with a handful of Marines firing upon it. Bravo-21 joins them and flanks a column of [[Jiralhanae Minor|Brute Minors]] and tries to hold them off with an [[Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel|SRS99D-S2 AM Sniper Rifle]], actually killing two and pinning a third, until he is ambushed by a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]] wielding a [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|Gravity Hammer]] from his left. He is forced out of his position by it, almost gets tagged by a Spike Grenade and then is chased down by the Chieftain. It bats him against a wall then delivers a killing blow, finishing him off. A Marine mans the M41 LAAG on the Warthog, downing two Brutes before being killed by a Spiker round to the chest. Coney declares him dead moments later, then goes to treat another Marine impaled through the arm with a Spiker round. With the Marine pinned to a wall, the Corpsman has no choice but to use a buzz saw to cut the round in half to free the Marine, causing him great pain.

A [[Spike Grenade]] attaches to a wall near where the Marines are under cover - the Marine retaliates by breaking cover, grabbing the device and hurling it in the air, where it explodes and destroys a strafing [[Banshee]].  


Finally, a fireball is seen entering the atmosphere. Bravo-22 opens the box that he obtained in the previous video, ''[[Halo: Combat]]'', revealing it to be some sort of laser sighting device. He sights the fireball, and "SIERRA 117" appears on the display in the sight.''
A Phantom begins its approach to the ground with a handful of Marines firing upon it. Bravo-21 joins them and flanks a column of [[Brute Minors]] and tries to hold them off with a [[SRS99D-S2 AM Sniper Rifle]], actually killing two and pinning a third, until he is surprise attacked by a [[Brute Chieftain]] wielding a [[Gravity Hammer]] from his left. He is forced out of his position by it, almost gets tagged by a Spike Grenade and then is chased down by the Chieftain. It bats him against a wall then delivers a killing blow, finishing him off. A Marine is also killed with a Spiker round through the chest as he tries to hold them back with the M41 LAAG on the back of the recently parked Warthog. He hits and kills two of them before his demise. Coney declares him dead moments later, then goes to treat another Marine impaled through the arm with a Spiker round. Stuck to a wall, the Corpsman has no choice but to use a buzz saw to cut the round in half to free the Marine, causing him great pain.  


Their mission accomplished, the wounded squad of Marines and Bravo-22 retreat into a blast door, one Marine, being hit by a [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Gun]], is blown onto the hood of the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]], but recovers and continues fleeing. A Phantom passes overhead, preparing to deploy more Brutes. After the squad gets in the blast door, with Bravo-22 lying against the wall and Coney helping the wounded Marine, another rushes past them to kill the advancing Chieftain with an [[M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle/Assault Weapon|M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher]], blowing it to pieces. The blast doors close on them, steeping them in darkness.
Finally, a fireball is seen entering the atmosphere. Hartley opens the box that he obtained in the previous video, ''[[Halo: Combat]]'' revealing it to be some sort of laser sighting device. He sights the fireball, and "SIERRA 117" appears on the display in the sight. More Brutes are hit as they advance on the Marines.

''The Warthog arrives at the scene where three Marines are fighting Brutes in an open corridor. [[Scottlee]] and Marine #1 are firing from behind a wall on the right, while Marine #2 fires from around a wall on the left.  A Brute throws a [[Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade|Spike Grenade]], which sticks itself to the wall that Scottlee and Marine #1 are using for cover.''
 
*'''Marine #2''': "Throw it!"


''Marine #2 provides cover fire for Marine #1 who pulls the Spike Grenade off the wall and throws it into the air, taking out a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]].''
'''Bravo-21''': Command, we're not gonna make it in time!


*'''Oscar 6 Pilot (COM)''': "Sierra 117, search and rescue team is awaiting coordinates."
'''[[Oscar 6]] Pilot (COM)''': Nearest Medic in Sector 6. Deviate from original course and move to Sector 6. Master Chief's re-entry is minutes away.


''Warthog comes to a halt, narrowly missing a fuel rod bolt. Bravo-21 jumps out of the Warthog.''
'''Bravo-21''': Okay, got it.


*'''Bravo-21''': "Medic! Hey, Medic!" ''(to Bravo-22)'' "Private… ?"
'''[[Oscar 6]] Pilot (COM)''': Proceed with caution. They're under heavy fire.


*'''Bravo-22''': "I can do it."
{The Warthog arrives at the scene where three Marines are fighting Brutes. A Brute throws a [[Spike Grenade]] at them. Marine #1 provides cover fire for Marine #2 as Marine #2 hurls it into the air, taking out a [[Banshee]].}


''Bravo-21 and Corpsman Coney drag Bravo-22 out of the passenger seat and carry him over to a wall.''
'''[[Oscar 6]] Pilot (COM):''' Sierra One One Seven, search and rescue team is awaiting coordinates.


*'''Oscar 6 Pilot (COM)''': "You need to get that laser on the Chief."
{Bravo-21 jumps out of the Warthog.}


''Bravo-22 pulls off his helmet.''
'''Bravo-21''': Medic! Hey, Medic!


*'''Bravo-22''': "Just get this thing out of me, now! Ugh!"
'''To Bravo-22''': Private...?


''The marines fire at a Brute, while a Phantom flies overhead.''
'''Bravo-22 (COM)''': I can do it.


''Cut back to Bravo-22. Coney is inspecting the spike embedded in his abdomen.''
{Bravo-21 and Corpsman Coney drag Bravo-22 out of the passenger seat. Bravo-22 screams as the Medic sprays the biofoam into his wound.}


*'''Bravo-21''': "Can you do your job?"
'''[[Oscar 6]] Pilot (COM)''': You need to get that laser on the Chief.


*'''Bravo-22''': "Yeah…"
'''Bravo-22''': Just get this thing out of me, now! Ugh!


''Bravo-21 runs over to the Marines, narrowly avoiding a shot from a Banshee's fuel rod cannon.''
'''Bravo-21''': Can you do your job?


*'''Bravo-21''': "Hey, what's the situation?"
'''Bravo-22''': Yeah...


*'''Marine #1''': "Almost out of ammo, sir! We have to pull back!"
{Bravo 21 runs over to the Marines, nearly getting killed by a fuel rod cannon from a Banshee.}


*'''Bravo-21''': "Negative, we need to hold them off until Master Chief breaks through. I'll go round and pin 'em down. Make every shot count!"
'''Bravo-21''': Hey, what's the situation?


''Bravo-21 grabs a sniper rifle propped up against a wall and runs off, while the marines provide cover fire.  A Covenant Phantom deploys more Brutes.  Bravo-21 runs around the left flank and gets into position just as the Brute reinforcements arrive.  He shoots two Brutes at a rather close range with his sniper rifle. He fires at a third (presumably killing it too).''
'''Marine #2''': We're almost out of ammo sir, we have to pull back!


''Suddenly a Brute Chieftain attacks from behind. Bravo-21 tries to run away but the Chieftain throws a Spike Grenade at him. Bravo-21 survives the blast but is overtaken by the Chieftain. He tries to shoot the Chieftain with his Magnum sidearm, but the Chieftain kills him with two blows from its [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|Gravity Hammer]].''
'''Bravo-21''': Negative, we need to hold them off until Master Chief breaks through. I'll go round and pin 'em down. Make every shot count!


''The other Marines are still fighting. A Banshee comes in for a strafing run, forcing them all to take cover. Just then they look up and see a [[Forerunner Dreadnought|massive flaming object]] falling rapidly from the sky.''
{Bravo 21 runs around the left flank, and shoots two Brutes at a rather close range with his sniper rifle before being killed by a Brute Chieftain.}


*'''Corpsman Coney''': "Hold still."
'''Corpsman Coney''': Hold still.


''Coney yanks the Spiker round out of Bravo-22; he yelps in pain. She begins to apply [[biofoam]] into his wound.''
{Coney yanks the Spiker round out of Bravo-22; he yelps in pain.}


''Cut back to the marines.  Scottlee runs over to Marine #2.''
'''Marine #1''': Go! Go! Go!


*'''Scottlee''': "Go! Go! Go!"
{Marine #1 provides cover for Marine #3 who races back and jumps on the LAAG on the back of the 'Hog and begins firing.}


''Scottlee and Marine #1 provide cover for Marine #2 who races back and mans the LAAG on the back of the 'Hog and begins firing, killing two more Brutes.  Scottlee starts to fall back to a new position.''
'''Marine #1''': Hit their position!


*'''Marine #1''': "Hit their position!"
{Marine #3 is shot in the chest. Coney runs over and briefly checks him.}


''Marine #2 is shot in the chest by Spiker fire and falls off the Warthog. Coney runs over to check on him, while Scottlee exchanges fire with a Brute. Spiker rounds fly past, embedding themselves in the wall behind him.''
'''Corpsman Coney''': "He's gone!"


''Coney quickly checks Marine #2.''
{A Brute fires its Spiker, impaling Scottlee/Marine #2's arm to the wall.}


*'''Corpsman Coney''': "He's gone!"
'''[[Scottlee]]''': "Augh, Medic!"


''The Brute adjusts it aim and fires its Spiker again, impaling Scottlee's left arm to the wall.''
{Scottlee fires his rifle and kills the Brute.}


*'''Scottlee''': "Augh, Medic!"
'''Corpsman Coney''': Incoming!


''Coney rushes over to Scottlee's position. Scottlee uses his free arm to continue firing his battle rifle, killing the Brute.  Coney looks over her shoulder.''
{Plasma blasts hit the wall behind them, a few inches from the Marine's arm and hip. Scottlee screams in pain as the Medic cuts the spike round.}


*'''Corpsman Coney''': "Incoming!"
{Bravo-22 pulls out laser designator, while the Marine screams.}


''They turn their heads away. Plasma fire hits the wall, narrowly missing them both. Coney opens up her bag and takes out a cutting tool. Scottlee screams in pain as the Medic begins cutting the Spike round with a buzz saw.''
'''Bravo-22''': Target... acquired.


''Bravo-22 opens the case and pulls out a laser designator. He points it at the object falling from the sky. A second smaller unidentified object has now broken off from the larger object.''
'''[[Oscar 6]] Pilot (COM)''': That's it; we got him. Recovery team has his coordinates, touching down soon. Fall Back. Fall Back.


*'''Bravo-22''': "Target… acquired."
{Marine #1 turns and runs towards the bunker. A fuel rod cannon lands near Marine #1 and he is thrown onto the Warthog, but recovers and runs off while Coney is buzz sawing the Spiker round. A Phantom flies overhead. Coney finishes cutting off the Spiker round in Marine #2. All of them run inside. Marine #1 pauses at the door, lifts and aims a M41 SSR MAV/AW and blows the charging Brute Chieftain to pieces. Doors slam shut.}
 
''The monitor on the designator begins beeping as it tracks the smaller object which has been now been identified: SIERRA 117.''
 
''Cut to the Pelican hovering over the battlefield.''
 
*'''Oscar 6 Pilot (COM)''': "That's it; we got [[John-117|him]]. Recovery team has his coordinates, [[Arrival|touching down soon]]. Fall Back. Fall Back."
 
*'''Marine #1''': "Fall back!  Fall back!"
 
''Marine #1 turns and runs towards the bunker. A fuel rod cannon blast lands near him and he is thrown onto the Warthog's hood.  Bravo-22 stumbles into the bunker, while Coney continues buzz sawing the Spiker round in Scottlee. The Phantom flies overhead. Marine #1 gets back up and runs toward the bunker.  Coney finishes cutting off the Spiker round in Scottlee. They retreat inside the bunker, limping past Bravo-22 who has collapsed near the door, too exhausted to move. Marine #1 pauses at the door, lifts and aims an M41 SSR MAV/AW and blows the charging Brute Chieftain to pieces. Doors slam shut.''
 
''Fade to black.''

[[Image:Update cougarhuting.jpg|thumb|The weapons featured in the live ''Halo'' shorts in the hands of Bungie employees.]]
*The BR55HB battle rifles used by the Marines and ODSTs feature side attachments near the barrel that do not appear in ''Halo 3''. Additionally, the weapons' scopes differ from the model used in the game. The Marines are seen firing their battle rifles in fully automatic mode; while this is canonically possible, it cannot be performed in-game.
*The [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|battle rifles]] used by the [[UNSC Marine Corps|marines]] and ODSTs feature a fully automatic mode of fire. It is unknown if this is an error or a different version of the rifle. Additionally, there are side attachments near the barrel of the rifle and the weapon's scope differs from the model used in ''Halo 3.''
*After Bravo-21 is killed, when the Banshee's fuel rod cannon projectile hits, the famous [[Wikipedia:Wilhelm Scream|Wilhelm Scream]] can be heard. This sound effect was later used in the introductory cinematic of ''[[Halo Wars]]'', in the level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]'' in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', and in the motion comic adaptation of ''[[The Mona Lisa]]''.
*It would seem that both ''Combat Part I'' and ''Combat Part II'' are direct prologues to ''Halo 3'', as it explains how Johnson and his unit were able to find the Master Chief mere minutes after his crash landing on Earth. However, his landing in ''Halo 3'' takes place at night, while ''Combat Part Two'' takes place during the day. If he had passed into a different time zone this could be possible, but if so, he surely would have fallen more than "two kilometers."
*The spike grenades have a timer far longer than is seen in-game, with a Marine able to emerge from cover, pull the grenade out of a wall, and still have time to throw it at a passing Banshee. These grenades also explode rather than merely sending spikes in a specific direction, though part of this could be due to the exploding Banshee.
*This video is called ''"Halo: Last One Standing"'' with its title really being ''Halo: Combat Part 2''. This confusion is set up by the TV ad that played before and after the video.
*''Last One Standing'' and ''Combat'' (collectively referred to as the "Landfall Trailer") received an honorable mention on Gametrailers list of the [http://www.gametrailers.com/shows/top-100-trailers/videos-clips Top 100 Trailers of All Time] in 2011.<ref>[http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/k0pai6/top-100-trailers-of-all-time-trailers--60---41 Gametrailers Top 100 Trailers of All Time: 60-41]</ref>
*After Bravo-21 is killed, when the [[Banshee]]'s [[Fuel Rod Cannon]] projectile hits, there is a sound that resembles the "Wilhelm Scream", which is heard again in the [[Five Long Years Cinematic|intro cinematic]] of [[Halo Wars]].
 
*The spike grenades have a timer far longer than is seen in ''Halo 3'', with a marine able to emerge from cover, pull the grenade out of a wall, and still have time to throw it at a passing Banshee. These grenades also explode rather than merely sending spikes in a specific direction, though part of this could be due to the exploding Banshee.
