'''Released''' is the first track 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).


''Released'' plays at the start of the level, as the [[John-117|Master Chief]], [[Johnson]] and [[the Arbiter]] are walking through the jungle. It starts with a single low note, followed by a section of drums. After that, another layer of high strings is added in. At around 0:50, choir takes on the main melody of [[Impend]] from ''[[Halo 2]]''. Released runs for 2:19.
''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'' plays after the area where [[Reynolds]] is being interrogated by a [[Brute Captain]], as the Chief and Arbiter make their way towards the river. In this track, which starts at 2:19, drums once again become the dominant instrument. At around 3:05, the slow drum beat is replaced by a faster and louder drums section. Wild Life runs for about 1:05.
''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.


''Another Walk'' plays at the river, after the [[Pelicans]] are shot down. At the start of this track, which starts at around 3:24, the percussion changes to a more relaxed beat, with a more muted drum tone. The choir then joins in again for the melody of [[A Walk in the Woods]]. Another Walk runs for 1:54.
''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.  
 
Overall, it runs for 5:20.
*''Released'' is a remake of the second part of [[Impend]] from the [[Halo 2 OST]], and ''Another Walk'' is an [[A Walk in the Woods]]/[[Heretic, Hero]] remake.
