Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn Trailer Enlists Recruits

343 Industries released a fresh teaser trailer for Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn this afternoon. This particular trailer introduces us to the three young recruits at the heart of the live-action series.

The series will follow recruits at the Corbula Academy of Military Science. This academy is the top training facility for the UNSC troops. In the video, each of the youths expresses some doubts about their ability to make it in the military.

One problem I've always had with the Halo series is that its principle character - Master Chief - is stoic and dull. He never seemed human enough to be compelling to me. Forward Unto Dawn' protagonists all seem like vulnerable, vivid characters though. It's a shame they won't have their own game.

Forward will debut on October 5th. New episodes of the series will run until November 6th, the day of Halo 4's launch.
