The '''''Halo 2'' announcement trailer''' was an in-engine trailer using Bungie's early "pstencil" engine that screened at Microsoft's North American X02 event in August 2002.<ref>[https://news.microsoft.com/2002/08/08/hail-to-the-master-chief-halo-2-is-coming-to-an-xbox-near-you/ Hail to the Master Chief! “Halo 2” Is Coming to an Xbox Near You]</ref> The trailer gives a basic introduction to ''[[Halo 2]]'', showing that the [[Battle of Earth|Covenant had discovered and attacked Earth]]. It depicts [[John-117|Master Chief]] walking through an [[Orbital defense platform]] before jumping out of an airlock presumably to board a Covenant ship. This trailer was later re-imagined as the final cutscene in the game's first level, [[Cairo Station]].
