Halo: Arms Race is a short video created in collaboration with Bungie Studios, Neill Blomkamp, WETA Workshop and Origami Digital LLC and the first piece of live-action media in the Halo series. Released on July 10, 2007 on 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 advertisement for Halo 3. It runs for 1 minute 52 seconds.[1] It is part one in a trilogy of short films known as Halo: Landfall.
