'''Halo: Arms Race''' is a short video created in collaboration with [[Bungie Studios]], [[Neill Blomkamp]], [[WETA Workshop]] and [[Origami Digital LLC]] depicting the first real time images and video of the Halo series. Released on July 10, 2007 at [[Bungie.net]] only hours after the [[Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer]], the video is intended primarily as an experiment to test Halo's real-world media potential as well as advertisement for [[Halo 3]]. It runs for 1 minute 52 seconds.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=ethreeblowout Bungie.net E3 post]</ref> It has been confirmed as part one in a trilogy of short films, as said in the third Bungie podcast. It can be found in the Xbox Live Marketplace to download for free and also in [[Halo: Landfall]]. | |||

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 in a UNSC factory. It also shows several shots of what is assumed to be the conscription of UNSC Marines into a unit called [[S4/BAG/2/5]] (including the addition of a barcode to the back of a marine's neck, as well as being injected with an augmentation drug or electronic ID such as an IFF transponder), and then the arming of the marines. 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." | ||
