| | ==Background== |
| | It is roughly 1:33 minutes long and is the second in the trilogy, and was leaked on August 23, 2007. The video was officially released via WETA's website on August 28, 2007. On August 31, 2007, the video was revealed to be on the Xbox website under the name Combat: Part 1. |

| ==Synopsis== | | ==Synopsis== |
| The short film follows two [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC]] [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] fighting across a wasteland, being engaged by [[Covenant]] forces led by [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]]. The film starts off with two ODSTs of [[2nd Shock Troops Battalion#Subordinate Units|Alpha Team]], Bravo-21 ([[T. Rymann]]) 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 [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] [[fuel rod]] strikes closely missing them.

| Bravo-22 is tracking something on a hand-held scanner, and retrieves an elongated casing labeled "UNSC" from under a pile of debris 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 [[Jiralhanae Minor|Brute Minors]] open fire with [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker|Spike Rifles]]. Bravo-21 shoots them both with his [[BR55 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle|BR55HB SR battle rifle]], downing one as Bravo-22 calls for evacuation, prompting a [[D77H-TCI Pelican]] dropship to begin its descent to their position as Bravo-21 kills the second Brute with his battle rifle.

| | Bravo-22 is tracking something on a hand-held scanner, and retrieves an elongated casing labeled "UNSC" from under a pile of debris 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 Minor|Jiralhanae Minors]] open fire with [[Type-25 Carbine]] weapons. Bravo-21 shoots them both with a [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle]], downing one as Bravo-22 calls for evacuation, prompting a [[D77H-TCI Pelican Dropship]] to begin its descent to their position as Bravo-21 kills the second Brute with his BR55HB SR. |

| ''Cut to the two ODSTs running in parallel to a wall.'' | | Bravo-21 is almost killed by a [[Fuel Rod Cannon]] strike from a strafing [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft]], and at this time, radar or radio dishes can be seen in the distance. The Pelican drops off a [[Warthog|M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle]], prompting the ODSTs to make a run for it in the middle of an exposed area. 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. The Warthog smashes through a wall then, shortly afterwards, the film ends with 'Transmission Terminated, End Part 1'. |

| | Male over radio: Watch out for Brutes, Alpha Team. |
|
| |
|
| ''The other ODST, Bravo-21, takes up a defensive position, covering for Bravo-22. A single Brute runs by, not noticing him.''
| | (Radio Chatter) |
|
| |
|
| ''Cut to an overhead shot of Bravo-22 searching some nearby rubble. He eventually finds a large case. Bravo-22 picks up the case and moves back to join Bravo-21.''
| | Bravo-22: Bingo. Got it. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Bravo-22:''' "Bingo. Got it!"
| | (Radio Chatter) |
|
| |
|
| ''Brute [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker]] rounds suddenly whiz past the ODSTs, and embed themselves in the wall. Bravo-21 returns fire, killing one of the two attacking Brutes. The other Brute continues firing its Spiker.''
| | Bravo-22: Package retrieved; need immediate evac, over. Package retrieved. |
|
| |
|
| ''Meanwhile Bravo-22 radios for assistance.''
| | Pelican pilot: Roger that Team Two. Warthog inbound. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Bravo-22:''' "Package retrieved; need immediate evac, over. Package retrieved."
| | Bravo-21: Come on sucker! |
|
| |
|
| *'''Pelican pilot (COM):''' "Roger that, Team Two. Warthog inbound."

|
| |
|
| ''Pelican starts to descend.''
| | Bravo-21: Move move. Go Go Go! |
|

|

| | Bravo-21: Bravo Kilos moving west. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Bravo-21:''' "Come on, sucker!"
| | Female voice (Possibly Warthog AI): Caution, incoming fighters. |
|
| |
|
| ''The Brute goes down. Seconds later, a Banshee swoops down and fires its fuel rod cannon. The bolt impacts nearby. The ODSTs are knocked off their feet.''
| | Bravo-21: Come on! |
|
| |
|
| *'''Bravo-21:''' "Ooh!"
| | Bravo-22: Aah! I'm hit! |
|
| |
|
| ''The ODSTs get back up and return fire with their battle rifles.''
| | Bravo-21: Suck it up! |
|
| |
|
| ''The Pelican arrives and drops off its Warthog. Brute spiker rounds fired from offscreen hit a nearby wall.''
| | (Biomonitors starts to beep) |

| | (Radio Chatter) |
|
| |
|
| ''The two ODSTs make a run for the Warthog. An overhead camera shot shows them entering the Warthog and driving off. The two Brutes they killed earlier are marked with orange indicator tags labeled "Threat Neutralized".''

| ''Cut to another camera vid (CAM 3) of the two ODSTs driving the Warthog. The names of the two ODSTs are displayed: T. Rymann (Bravo-21), and S. Hartley (Bravo-22).''

| | *Although the battle takes place during the second Covenant invasion of Earth, the date on the camera says that it is September 12th, 2534 at 1:00 AM, which puts it almost 20 years prior to the first invasion of Earth. It is possible this was just a production error and not intentional. |
| | *The BR55HB SR rifles that the Marine Infantryman and Shock Troops were using were equipped with Flashlights and Laser Pointers on the foregrip of their rifles. They were also equipped with a Fully Automatic firing mode, which has not been seen before. |
| | *The short was filmed at a [http://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/Wellington Wellington], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand New Zealand] Landfill. |

| ==Trivia== | |
| *At the 1:22 mark, on the right hand side of the screen, 13 black shapes (kill tags) can be seen on the Warthog's windshield: eight [[Unggoy|Grunts]], three [[Sangheili|Elites]] (likely given that the Warthog was in service before the [[Great Schism]]), and two Brutes. | |
| *The battle most likely takes place in [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=N%2032%C2%B0%2052'%2013%22,%20E%2069%C2%B0%2027'%2048%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl East Afghanistan] , as shown by the coordinates on the video.
| |
| *Although the battle takes place during the second Covenant invasion of Earth, the date on the camera says that it is September 12, 2534 at 1:00 AM, which puts it almost 20 years prior to the [[Battle of Earth|invasion]] of [[Earth]]. This is obviously a production error.
| |
| *The BR55HB SR rifles that the Marines and ODSTs use are equipped with flashlights and laser modules. They are also equipped with a fully automatic firing mode, which has not been seen elsewhere.
| |
| *The short was filmed at a [[wikipedia:Wellington|Wellington]], [[wikipedia:New Zealand|New Zealand]] landfill.
| |
| *The Pelican that drops the Warthog has a clamp that holds the crossbar of the Warthog instead of an electromagnet.
| |
| *At 0:20, a Brute can be seen carrying a unusually large [[Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade|Spike Grenade]] which appears to be almost as large as a [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|Gravity Hammer]].
