Microsoft and 343 Industries have just posted the fourth episode in their ongoing Halo: Forward Unto Dawn live action web series, which acts as a prequel for their upcoming Halo 4 title.

Halo 4 is out at the beginning of next month and Microsoft is kicking up its marketing campaign into high gear, releasing the second to last episode of the Halo: Forward Unto Dawn web series.

After getting to meet the cadets of the Corbulo Academy of Military Sciences in previous videos, the latest episode shows how the Covenant invades the venerable institution.

As such, the surviving cadets must now fight alongside their only hope against the alien menace: the Master Chief.

The final episode in the Forward Unto Dawn series will be released next week, followed by the launch of the actual Halo 4 game on November 6, only on the Xbox 360 platform.
