| | '''Halo: Combat Part Two''' is a short video created in collaboration with [[Bungie Studios]], [[Neill Blomkamp]], [[WETA Workshop]] and [[Origami Digital LLC]]. It is the last in the [[Halo: Landfall|trilogy]] of shorts, continuing where ''[[Halo: Combat]]'' left off. It was released on September 24, 2007; only twelve hours before the much-anticipated release of ''[[Halo 3]]''. In an unusual move, the video was first unveiled on the website of the Discovery Channel, as part of a promotion for a completely unrelated television show titled ''Last One Standing''. | ||

[[Image:R.Coney.jpg|thumb|Corpsmen Coney tends to a wounded Marine who was shot off a [[Warthog]] [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun|Turret]] with Spiker rounds.]] | |||
It opens on where ''Combat Part 1'' left off, with the two [[ODST|Marine ODST]]s, Bravo-21 ([[T. Rymarr]]) and Bravo-22 ([[S. Hartley]]), in their [[Warthog]] making their way to a squad of [[Marines]] holding off an advancing column of [[Jiralhanae]]. The Spike in Hartley's gut is causing him intense pain and is likely to be fatal without immediate treatment. They drive through an abandoned industrial area toward a damaged satellite dish. When they arrive, they are forced to hold the line, waiting for [[John-117]] to enter range while Bravo-28, a female [[Corpsman]] named [[R. Coney]], tries to treat Bravo-22's wounds. A [[Spike Grenade]] attaches to a wall near where the Marines are under cover- the Marine retaliates by breaking cover, grabbing the device and hurling it in the air, where it explodes and destroys a strafing [[Banshee]]. | |||
Finally, a fireball is seen entering the atmosphere. | A Phantom begins its approach to the ground with a handful of Marines firing upon it. Bravo-21 joins them and flanks a column of [[Brute Minors]] and tries to hold them off with a [[SRS99D-S2 AM Sniper Rifle]], actually killing two and pinning a third, until he is suprise attacked by a [[Brute Chieftain]] wielding a [[Gravity Hammer]] from his left. He is forced out of his position by it, almost gets tagged by a Spike Grenade and then is chased down by the Chieftain. It batters him against a wall then delivers a killing blow, finishing him off. A Marine is also killed with a Spiker round through the chest as he tries to hold them back with the M41 LAAG on the back of the recently parked Warthog. He hits and kills two of them before his demise. Coney declares him dead moments later, then goes to treat another Marine impaled through the arm with a Spiker round. Stuck to a wall, the Corpsman has no choice but to use a buzz saw to cut the round in half to free the Marine, causing him great pain. Finally, a fireball is seen entering the atmosphere. Hartley opens the box that he obtained in the previous video, ''[[Halo: Combat]]'' revealing it to be some sort of laser sighting device. He sights the fireball, and "SIERRA 117" appears on the display in the sight. More Brutes are hit as they advance on the Marines. | ||

A Phantom passes overhead, preparing to deploy more Brutes. After the squad gets in the blast door, with Harley lying against the wall and Coney helping the wounded Marine, another rushes past them to kill the advancing Chieftain with a [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher]], blowing him to pieces. The blast door closes on them, steeping them in darkness. | ||

[[ | [[Image:Update cougarhuting.jpg|thumb|The weapons featured in the live ''Halo'' shorts in the hands of Bungie employees.]] | ||
*The [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle]]s used by the [[Marines]] and [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] featured a fully automatic mode of fire. It is unknown if this is just an error, a new model of the BR55, or a modified version. Additionally, there are also side attachments near the barrel of the gun and the weapon's scope differs from the model used in ''Halo 3''. | |||
*In gameplay, a Spiker shot in would not penetrate the bodysuit especially after going through the windshield of a Warthog. | |||
== | *It would seem that both ''Combat Part I'' and ''Combat Part II'' are direct prologues to ''Halo 3'', as it explains how Johnson and his unit were able to find Master Chief mere minutes after his crash landing on Earth. However, his landing in ''Halo 3'' takes place at night, while ''Combat Part Two'' takes place during the day. If he had passed into a different time zone this could be possible, but if so, he surely would have fallen more than "two kilometers." (Note: Master Chief may have still passed into a different time zone, assuming the Marine in question was referring to his vertical drop, and not his horizontal distance, as the point is still ambiguous) | ||
*This video is called ''"Halo: Last One Standing"'' with its title really being ''Halo: Combat Part 2''. This confusion is set up by the TV ad that played before and after the video. | |||
*If one listens carefully after Bravo-21 is killed, when the [[Banshee]]'s [[Fuel Rod]] projectile hits, there is a sound that resembles the Wilhelm Scream, which is heard again in the ''Five Long Years'' trailer for ''Halo Wars''. | |||
*In addition, after Bravo-21 is killed, freezeframe the part where the Banshee flies in and it doesn't appear to have a canopy. However, this is probably just a CGI error. | |||
*The dialog of the Marine who jumps onto the Warthog's gun resembles that of another Marine depicted in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. | |||
*It has been discovered that the reason why the time of day appeared different in comparison to [[Spartan-117|Master Chief's]] descent in ''Halo 3'' is because the videos took place during the [[Battle of Western Pakistan]] which would probably mean that Master Chief's drop pod flew over the battlegrounds during the video before landing in Kenya. In addition, Western Pakistan was referred to as [[Sector Six]] in the video. | |||
*It also appears that the Spike Grenades have a timer far longer than is seen in ''Halo 3'', with a Marine able to emerge from cover, pull the grenade out of the wall and still have time to throw it at a passing Banshee. These Spike Grenades also explode rather than merely sending spikes in a specific direction, though part of this could be due to the exploding Banshee. | |||
