Kept under tight wraps, the set was announced unexpectedly on July 10, 2007 with the release of the first video, '''''Halo: Arms Race''''' on the front page of [[Bungie.net]]. ''Arms Race'' featured several shots of characters as well as special effects and set props, but little real action~~. However, it was ironic that ODST's were transported from a pelican and fought with a battle rifle~~. The film was also shown at [[E3 2007]], and with it came promises of additional shorts<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=ethreeblowout Bungie.net E3 post]</ref>.

''Arms Race'' was a live-action trailer that went up with another film one long month later. '''''Combat''''', released on WETA's website in August 2007<ref>[http://www.wetanz.com/holics/index.php?itemid=483&catid=2 http://www.wetanz.com/holics/index.php?itemid=483&catid=2]</ref>, telling the story of two [[ODST]] troopers fighting off [[Brutes]] while trying to retrieve an object - later revealed as a targetting laser - on the battlefield during the [[Second Battle of Earth]].

The props also featured [[M6G Pistol]]s, [[BR55 Battle Rifle]]s, a [[SRS99D-S2 AM Sniper Rifle]], and an [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|M41 Rocket Launcher]] ~~along with a few Covenant weopons~~. Additionally, costumes for the projects included two full [[ODST]] uniforms and at least half a dozen [[Marine]] uniforms (one a [[Corpsman]] variant) for actors to wear. It has not been specified how much these cost or what the future plans for them may be.
