The '''''Halo'' E3 2000 Trailer''' was an in-engine cinematic [[trailer]] for ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', shown at [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3 2000]]. This trailer was released before the game was converted to the Xbox as a first-person shooter. However, it showcased designs which mostly resembled those in the final game, though the events depicted were not canon. | The '''''Halo'' E3 2000 Trailer''' was an in-engine cinematic [[trailer]] for ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', shown at [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3 2000]].
