Halo: Combat

Halo: Arms Race Part 2 is a short video created in collaboration with Bungie Studios, Neill Blomkamp, WETA Digital and Origami Digital LLC. It is roughly 1:33 minutes long and is the second in the trilogy, and was leaked on August 23, 2007.

Synopsis
The short film follows two Orbital Drop Shock Troopers fighting across a wasteland, being engaged by Brutes and Banshees.

The film starts off with two ODSTs of Delta Team, Bravo-21 (T. Rymarr) and Bravo-22 (S. Hartley), being tracked on an aerial camera as they move through a wasteland with gunfire going off around them along with several Banshee fuel rod strikes near missing them. Bravo-22 is tracking something on a handheld scanner, and retrieves a elongated casing labeled "UNSC" from under a metal pile while Bravo-21 gives him covering fire against fast-moving enemies. Superheated metal spikes impale the wall that they are near as a pair of Brute Minors open fire with Type-25 "Spiker" Carbine weapons. Bravo-21 squarely hits them both with a BR55HB SR Battle Rifle, downing them both as Bravo-22 calls for evacuation, prompting a Pelican to began its descent to their position as Bravo-21 kills a third Brute with his Battle Rifle.

"I'm hit!"

- Bravo-22, S. Hartley

"Suck it up!"

- Bravo-21, T. Rymarr

Bravo-21 is almost killed by a Fuel Rod Cannon strike from a strafing Banshee flier, and at this time, radar or radio dishes can be seen in the distance. The Pelican drops off a Warthog, prompting the ODSTs to make a run for it in the middle of an exposed field. Bravo-21 takes the driver's seat while Bravo-22 takes the passenger seat. Bravo-22 is then hit from an unknown source of fire, splattering smears of blood against the Warthog's windshield and the camera. Then, shortly afterwards, the film ends.
