A First Look at the Live-Action Digital Series Halo: Nightfall

Earlier today at the San Diego Comic-Con, 343 Industries and Microsoft showed off some of the first ever looks at Ridley Scott's upcoming live-action digital series, Halo: Nightfall. Nightfall takes place between the events of Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians. It centers around "legendary manhunter" Jameson Locke and his team "as they are caught in a horrific terrorist attack while investigating terrorist activity on the distant colony world of Sedra."

Led by Locke, the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) agents are forced to coordinate with a Sedran commander with a remarkable history and deep-rooted mistrust of ONI. As the plot unravels, they’re drawn to an ancient, hellish artifact where they’re forced to fight for their survival, question everything, and ultimately choose between their loyalties and their lives. Agent Locke is a new character in the Halo universe poised to play a major role in Halo 5: Guardians releasing on Xbox One in 2015.

The series is being produced by Ridley Scott, directed by Sergio Mimica-Gezzan (Heroes, Battlestar Galactica), and written by Paul Scheuring (A Man Apart, Prison Break). The series will start to be available to Xbox One owners through Xbox Live beginning November 11, 2014. Don't forget that Locke will play a significant role in Halo 5: Guardians.

  If they aim to be faithful to the games, i assume killing someone will take 30+ rounds of sustained fire, then a punch to the face.
