Homecoming

Homecoming is one of the seven short films comprising the anime adaptation of the Halo universe, Halo Legends. Homecoming focuses on the tragedies involving the SPARTAN-II conscription in 2517, and the supersoldiers coming to terms with their origins.

Frank O'Connor has stated that the segment has a very dark story despite the ironically cute and pleasant poster art. On the 21st of January, Spike's GTTV aired a short clip from Homecoming.

Trivia

• During the episode, a Fuel Rod Gun destroys a piece of debris, the sound effect is the same noise from Halo Wars when a player destroys one of their buildings.
• How Daisy holstered her M6 sidearm would be physically impossible, since the handle and trigger guard occupy the center portion of the weapon, yet the holster appears rectangular, with no slit at the back for the handle. The fact that the rear iron sights are visible prove that the handle was not exposed at the opening. The holster itself appears to be suited for pistols with a design similar to those of modern-day pistols, with the handle closer to the hammer.
