What short story is included with Halo: Campaign Evolved's Digital Premium Edition?

The story behind the answer

The short story included with Halo: Campaign Evolved’s Digital Premium Edition is Halo: Hungry Buzzards.

Halo: Hungry Buzzards is a digital short story created as part of the game’s Digital Story & Art Collection. The collection is bundled with the Digital Premium Edition, Premium Edition Upgrade, and Collector’s Edition alongside a digital game manual and The Art of Halo: Campaign Evolved digital artbook.

The story is written by Troy Denning and serves as a companion to the new Operation: Meteorite content in Campaign Evolved. That makes it different from older Halo fiction such as Halo: Silent Storm, Halo: First Strike, and Halo: The Flood, all of which are established novels connected to earlier points in the series timeline.

The title can be easy to miss because it is not a mission inside the main campaign. It is a separate digital reading item bundled with the premium content. Campaign Evolved itself remakes the original Halo: Combat Evolved campaign while adding three new prequel missions featuring Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson.
