We've got plenty of childhood memories of playing Halo, but none of playing real-life capture the flag. Maybe that's just a sign of the times—we didn't grow up anywhere near the woods, and it's safer for kids to stay indoors, anyway.

Well apparently Halo's version of the future is more like the past—kids out past dark, playing games in the woods with the whole neighborhood pitching in. At least those experience transfer over to the UNSC's combat training.

Microsoft and 343 are going to keep releasing these "Forward Unto Dawn" vignettes, and they're going to keep getting longer and better. Are you looking forward to this unique glimpse into Halo's universe?
