It also shows several shots of the enlistment of UNSC Marines into a unit called [[S4/BAG/2/5]] (including the addition of a barcode to the back of a [[Benjamín Núñez|Marine]]'s neck, as well as being injected with an augmentation drug or electronic ID such as an [[Identification friend or foe|IFF transponder]]), and then the arming of the marines. Finally, the short cuts to 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."'' | |||
