The video contains no dialog, instead narrating with text from a computer. 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), and then the arming of the marines.

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 advertise for Halo 3. It runs for 1 minute 52 seconds[1]. 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. Halo: Arms Race, garnered a fair amount of attention when first released.
