Editing Museum

== Overview ==

Part of a series of live-action trailers produced during the build up to Halo 3.
It takes place in the [[Museum of Humanity]] and concerns an interview with a retired UNSC soldier who fought in the [[Second Battle of Earth]]. The soldier in question is Major [[Pawel Czernek]] who served from 2551-2581. 

In the trailer an unknown voice questions the retired soldier, whilst he views a minature representation of a battle between [[UNSC]] and [[Covenant]] forces.

== Analysis ==

* Pawel says "When Master Chief threw '''his''' grenade" The use of '''his''' in this statement may indicate that this grenade plays a significant role during the battle and possibly the war.
* Pawel appears to get unusually emotional when reminiscing about this battle, particularly about the [[Master Chief]]. He seems to indicate that the Master Chief died in the battle, but this may be an incorrect assumption.
* The Major retired in 2581, thus implying that humanity survives the war. However, Bungie representative [[Frank O'Connor]] recently assured gaming website Kotaku that the ad's creators do not know Halo 3's ending, so any information it gives is purely speculative.

''I asked Frankie about the concept, if they were worried about the reaction it would get from fans of the game. If people might think the ads are spoilers. He said that the ads were created by a marketing team who had no idea how the game ends and that it is not meant to be part of the game's canon.''

-'''Czernek:''' We'd been fighting for a while. On the [[seven]]th day, we ran out of ammo. We had to scavenge all we could from the weapons that had been left behind. The [[M6G|pistols]], [[shotgun]] rounds, a handful of [[M9 HE-DP Grenade|grenades]]...
-'''Interviewer:''' Do you remember where you were?
-'''Czernek:''' When [[John-117|Master Chief]] armed his [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|grenade]], I was in the back of an overturned [[Warthog]], firing an [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun|M41]].
-'''Interviewer:''' How did you manage to keep it together?
-'''Czernek:''' We knew Master Chief was still in the fight. He gave us hope.
