The video opens with [[Catherine-B320]] running across a battlefield in a ruined human city, holding an MFDD while firing an [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|M6G sidearm]] with her other hand. [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|ground forces]], including [[Sangheili Ultra]]s and [[Unggoy]], can be seen assaulting human troops. The view cuts to show [[Jorge-052]], supporting regular human infantry with his heavy machine gun and faces forward where you can see [[Emile-A239]] waving Kat through to the left. The camera briefly cuts to show a wider view of the battle, revealing a Covenant {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}, ''[[Sanctity of Purification]]'', hovering above the city while two [[UH-144 Falcon]]s fly past the camera, their turrets firing at targets on the ground.

The camera briefly cuts to show a wider view of the battle, revealing a Covenant {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}, ''[[Sanctity of Purification]]'', hovering above the city while two [[UH-144 Falcon]]s fly past the camera, their turrets firing at targets on the ground.


The camera then cuts to Kat's first-person view, with her arming the MFDD. A five-minute countdown appears on her [[heads-up display]]. She keeps running through the battlefield, and in the background, [[Carter-A259]] can be seen assassinating an Elite. Several shots of Kat running are shown, one from first-person view of her firing her pistol (killing a [[Skirmisher]]) and another showing the reflection of the Covenant cruiser on her faceplate. A first-person view of [[Jun-A266]] seeing Kat under fire is shown, in which he raises his [[Sniper Rifle System 99 Anti-Matériel|sniper rifle's]] scope and then snipes an Ultra. After Kat leaps over an obstacle, a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] swoops overhead, and fires a [[plasma]] bolt from its [[Class-2 Projectile cannon|Fuel Rod Cannon]]. The bolt impacts the ground right next to Kat, and the explosion sends her flying through the air, leaving her and the nuke lying on the ground. The nuke is shown to have two minutes left in its countdown display.

[[Thom-293]] arrives at the spot where Kat is lying, briefly looks at her, and then picks up the nuke. Kat's eyes are shown reflected in her cracked visor as she watches Thom activate his [[Series 8 jetpack|jetpack]], take off and fly toward the Covenant cruiser, entering the ship through its [[gravity lift]]. Inside, he rushes to a ledge overlooking a [[hangar bay]] where multiple [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]] and Banshees are docked, and countless Unggoy move on the lower floor. Thom tosses the MFDD down and starts running back the way he entered the room. As the nuke flies to the camera, its display shows 00:01 left in the countdown.

The view cuts to an overhead shot of the cruiser, its [[Energy shielding|shields]] fluctuating uncontrollably as multiple explosions bloom across the hull. Text is shown on the screen:

*The fact that Kat does not have a [[Artificial limb|prosthetic arm]] implies that the events seen in the trailer take place before the [[Fall of Reach]]. This was later confirmed by Bungie.

*The scene shown in the trailer is reminiscent of a part of Chapter Four in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', where [[Red Team]] destroys [[unidentified cruiser (Particular Justice)|a Covenant cruiser]] from the inside with a [[Fury Tactical Nuclear Weapon]].

*Two [[Sangheili Ultra|Elite Ultras]] are seen wielding both [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy swords]] and {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}s, a combination that has never been seen before. Such a combination would greatly mitigate the drawbacks of using a sword, which is most likely why it is not seen in any of the games.

*When Kat drops the device, the screen shows that 63 terajoules of energy are released upon detonation. The atomic bomb that exploded over Hiroshima during World War II released 60 terajoules of energy.

*[[Jorge-052]] is seen wielding his [[M247H Heavy Machine Gun|M247H]] left-handed, although he wields it right-handedly in ''Halo: Reach''. It is unknown whether he uses the weapon ambidextrously, or if this is merely an oversight.

*The shielding on the ''Ket''-pattern battlecruiser appears similar to the energy shielding on the [[Sentinel]]s in ''[[Halo 3]]'', as well as that of the [[Bubble Shield]] and the [[Armor Abilities#Drop Shield|Drop Shield]], as all four display hexagonal shapes.

*Although the cruiser's shields are supposed to contain the blast, making it multiple times more destructive, if one looks closely near the beginning of the explosion, several small plumes, and eventually the entire explosion, travel right through it as if it were not there.

*Kat does not wear a jetpack, leaving it suspicious about how she intended to reach the cruiser's gravity lift, lending further credence to Holland's statement that Thom's death was the result of acting impulsively.

*The Army soldiers are shown using the MA5C instead of the MA37 ICWS, which is standard issue for Army units. It is possible that Army units on different planets are equipped differently. From a production standpoint, the MA5C props were used as they were readily available, having previously been used in ''[[The Life]]'', the extended version of ''[[Birth of a Spartan]]'', and ''[[Patrol]]''.

*Kat is actually played by a male stunt man in the scenes where she is running, but is played by a woman in the scene with the point of view inside her helmet. The Elite Ultra being assassinated by Carter is also played by a man in an Elite suit.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jqZuBRulbk '''Youtube''': ''Halo Reach - Making of <nowiki>'Deliver Hope'</nowiki>'']</ref>
