Episode 3 of the live-action Halo 4 video series Forward Unto Dawn is out today, with Cortana talking to herself, the cadets getting an unauthorized look at a Spartan, and war finally hitting the UNSC military academy.

There will be two more episodes released before Halo 4 hits shelves on November 6. If you don't want to watch the videos in segments, the complete series will be available in the Limited Edition, and available separately in December.
