This is a Campaign footage video, this is a War Games Gameplay vid (Solace and Exile), and this is a Spartan Ops Gameplay vid. Amazing sounds! Thanks, Munish23.(Louis Wu 17:03:57 UTC)

You’re a busy person, and we have a thing for releasing as much Halo-related content our multi-fingered appendages can handle. That means—assuming you aren’t a speed reading super-soldier—you probably missed a few stories along the way. Not only do we forgive you, but we’ll also happily provide a convenient weekly wrap-up of absolutely everything we covered during the last seven days. Don’t worry about saying thank you. We’d rather you spend that time soaking in the goodness that is this entertaining collection of articles. Off you go!
