Halo Announcement Trailer

The Halo Announcement Trailer was the trailer that first unveiled Halo: Combat Evolved to the public. It was created when Halo was still going to be a Real-Time Strategy game for the Mac and PC. The version of Halo shown in the trailer differs heavily from the final game, but some of the core elements, like Spartan-II supersoldiers, Elites, the Warthog and many weapons, were already in. The music played in the trailer is the Halo Theme.

Transcript
The trailer begins with a Spartan-II in a early version of Alpha Halos Control Room, seemingly doing some operatons with The Core. He then runs away, and ends up in a hangar with a few Banshees and two Elites with Energy Swords. He taunts the Elites, and runs through some Forerunnerish corridors as they chase him. He exits into a open hilly area, with a Warthog and two other Spartans, the other of whom is firing a Assault Rifle. All three Spartans jump into the Warthog and drive across the hills, the Elites unable to catch the vehicle.

As the Warthog drives through the hills, two Elites spot it and give chase with their Ghosts. The Warthog opens fire with its M41 LAAG and manages to flip the other Ghost over, after which the other gives up. The Warthog then stops and the Spartans disembark, spotting a Banshee guarded by two Elites down in a valley. One of the Spartans jumps into the Warthog and drives past the Elites, distracting them. The second Spartan jumps behind the Plasma Rifle-wielding Elite and points a Pistol at his head, making the Elite surrender. The third one makes a run for the Banshee and takes off, avoiding blasts from the second Elites Fuel Rod Gun. The Banshee flies across the landscape, and another Spartan is seen atop a tall hill, waving a Bungie flag.
