| | The video contains no dialogue, instead narrating with text from a computer. It begins with the request from a [[UNSC]] [[Battle Group]], [[Sol Defense Group 3/A-5]] requesting repair and resupply. Once the request has been granted the video then goes on to show production of [[SRS99D-S2 AM Sniper Rifle]]s, [[Marine]] and [[ODST]] helmets and suits, [[M12 Warthog LRV]]s, [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier Pelican]]s, [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle]]s, and [[M6G Magnum]]s on the assembly line and ready for action. It also shows several shots of what is assumed to be the conscription of UNSC Marines into a unit called [[S4/BAG/2/5]], and them arming themselves to fight. A marine holding a BR55HB SR Battle Rifle stands on war stricken ground when an explosive detonates next to him, before ending with "Halo 3, Finish the Fight." |
