'''Released''' is the second track (Disc 1 Track 2) in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'', and plays during the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] level ''[[Sierra 117]]''. It is composed of ''Released'' (0:00-2:20), ''Wild Life'' (2:20-3:22), and ''Another Walk'' (3:22-5:20).

==Overview==
===Released===
''Released'' (2:20) starts with a single low note, followed by a section of percussion. A layer of high strings joins in with suspense, followed by some digital sound effects. The choir then enters, singing the main melody of ''[[Impend]]'' from ''[[Halo 2]]'', albeit in a slower tempo. The soft drums and strings return as accompaniment. The vocals fade out, leaving the drums. The piece plays at the start of the level, as [[John-117]], [[Avery Johnson]] and [[Thel 'Vadam]] are walking through the jungle, and continues throughout the first combat encounter. 

===Wild Life===
''Wild Life'' (1:02) begins with low strings building tension, before the drums once again become the dominant instrument. The slow drum beat gradually accelerates, soon replaced by a faster and louder tempo. It ends abruptly. The piece plays after the area where [[Reynolds]] is being interrogated by a [[Jiralhanae Captain]], as John-117 and 'Vadam make their way towards the river. This track was later reused in the ''[[Fireteam Raven, Reporting In]]'' trailer advertising [[Series 6: Raven|Series 6]] of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.

===Another Walk===
''Another Walk'' (1:58) transitions into a percussion part with a more relaxed beat, characterized by a more muted drum tone. The choir then joins in with the melody of ''[[A Walk in the Woods]]'' (alluded in the name of the piece), with the percussion beat playing throughout. It ends with a cymbal clash. The piece plays at the river encounter, after the [[Pelicans]] are shot down by [[Banshee]]s.
