A third film, '''''Last One Standing''''', was released on September 24, just hours before the release of ''[[Halo 3]]''. This film was released first on the Discovery Channel's website, as part of their promotion for an unrelated show, ''Last One Standing''<ref>[http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/last-one-standing/halo-sweeps/halo-sweeps.html http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/last-one-standing/halo-sweeps/halo-sweeps.html]</ref>. This film continued the story of the two ODSTs in ''Combat'', featuring more weapons, special effects, and live action combat between the [[Marines]] and Brutes. A few Marines are killed, but take many Brutes down with them. It ends with the sight of a fireball descending into the atmosphere, a scene which is also the beginning of ''Halo 3'', which explains how the UNSC was able to predict where [[John-117]]'s landing would be, as the mission was to affix trajectory on his descent using a laser-guided tracker. | A third film, '''''Last One Standing''''', was released on September 24, just hours before the release of ''[[Halo 3]]''.
