Red vs. Blue Halo: Reach PSA: Deja View



Red vs. Blue Halo: Reach PSA: Deja View is a public service announcement video created by Rooster Teeth Productions with guidance from Bungie, used to promote the Halo: Reach remake of the classic Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer map Blood Gulch. In it, the Red vs. Blue characters of Red Team showcase the main features of the map, a new armor ability; the Holograph, and shows a small glimpse of the immensely large playable area outside the confines of the main canyon.

Transcript
The Rooster Teeth logo is displayed on the screen, and the screen fades into a view of the Red base in, where Sarge addresses Grif and Simmons.


 * Sarge: "Men, I've got a big announcement from Command."


 * Grif: "Oh great, I'm sure this is going to work out well for us. Let me guess Sarge, they discovered a revolutionary new way for us to scrub toilets?"


 * Sarge: "Nope, we're going home."


 * Simmons: "What?"


 * Grif: "What?!"


 * Sarge: "Just got the message from Command, we all get to go home."


 * Grif: "Are you sure Sarge? Because if you're lying to me, that would be a really cruel trick, I mean even for you. And you're kind of a dick... sir."


 * Sarge: "'Got our orders right here. They read: 'Congratulations STOP You are all going home STOP Transports are en-route STOP Thank you for your service STOP This message will now stop STOP."


 * Simmons: "Did they send the message via telegram?"


 * Grif: "Who cares Simmons? We're going home! The war is over!"


 * Simmons: "It is?"


 * Grif: "Yes! Didn't you hear the message?"


 * Simmons: "Yeah, I did. Did you? Because it didn't say anything ab-"

A Hornet lands nearby.


 * Grif: "There's the first transport, shotgun!"

Grif runs over to the Hornet and addresses the pilot.


 * Grif: "Are you here to take us home?"


 * Pilot: "Huh? Yeah, whatever, hop on."

Grif gets onto the side of the Hornet.


 * Grif: "I'm so excited!"


 * Pilot: "I don't care."


 * Simmons: (Sighs) "Grif, I guess this is it, we'll never see each other again."

The Hornet takes off.


 * Grif: "I know! Isn't it great?!"

The Hornet flies over the middles of the canyon, where Blue Team members Church, Caboose and Tucker stand looking at the Hornet.


 * Caboose: "Goodbye yellow guy! We hate you!"

The Blues open fire on the Hornet.


 * Grif: (Throws a grenade) "Goodbye guys, I hate you too!"


 * Caboose: "Aw, he's just saying that to be nice."

''The grenade detonates in the center of the Blue Team members. Cut to black. The scene switches to the Hornet, now a Falcon, which lands in a grassy area. Grif hops out.''


 * Grif: "Thanks for the lift soldier!"


 * Pilot: "Get away from the cockpit, jackass."


 * Grif: "No problem bud. Why'd we stop here? What is this, some kind of way station?"


 * Pilot: "Yeah, something like that. Bitch."

The Falcon takes off, revealing Simmons standing there.


 * Grif: (To the Falcon) "So, where do I catch the transport home?! Hey, come back!"


 * Simmons: "Grif, you made it."


 * Grif: "Simmons? What are you doing here?"


 * Simmons: "This is our new base."


 * Grif: "New base? I though we were going home!"

Sarge emerges from the nearby Red base.


 * Sarge: "That's right Grif! Look, we're home!"


 * Grif: "What?"


 * Simmons: "Look! We got back our old canyon!"

The camera shows a full view of Blood Gulch, with the Falcon leaving its boundaries.


 * Sarge: "Isn't it perfect?!"


 * Simmons: "What do you think Grif? Grif?"

Grif tries to speak, but stutters several times.


 * Sarge: "Look, he's speechless!"

Grif begins to cry loudly.


 * Simmons: "Now he's crying with joy."


 * Sarge: "Okay, well that's taking it a bit far. Unbridled emotions are unbecoming of a soldier. I can handle emotion, but I won't stand the unbridledness!"

''Grif suddenly activates his Armor Lock. It remains active for several seconds, then deactivates.''


 * Grif: "What was that?"


 * Simmons: "That was your Armor Lock. We got more than just a new base, we got new armor and equipment too."


 * Sarge: "I even discovered a new way to greet people."

''Sarge runs behind Grif, grabs his shoulder and turns him around. Sarge raises a Combat Knife and stabs Grif through the mouth. Grif falls to the ground.''


 * Grif: "Agh... ow... my mouth!"


 * Sarge: "Hello, and welcome to our new home, dirtbag!"


 * Simmons: "Come on, let me give you a tour."


 * Sarge: (Chuckles) "Grif must feel right at home, he's already lying down on the job."

Simmons walks over to two Warthogs, both sporting different turrets; gauss and rocket.


 * Simmons: "See, we got all new vehicles."

Grif walks over.

 * Grif: "Dibs on the rocket one!"
 * Simmons: "And the cliff is back."
 * Grif: "Ahh too high."
 * Simmons: "And here's the tele...(goes through the teleporter and shouts)...PORTER."
 * Grif: "That'll save time on my commutes."
 * Simmons: "And look, there's the caves!"
 * Grif: "Spooky. Yet very faithful."
 * Simmons: "And here's the little nook. A don't really know what that's for."
 * Grif: "You can put stuff in it."
 * Simmons: "Check it out! There's the tree where we carved our initials."
 * Grif: "I don't think that was me dude."
 * Simmons: "And look, grass!"
 * Grif: "Everything seems greener than I remember."
 * Simmons: "I think I might have left the sprinklers on when we left."
 * Grif: "That was like three years ago dude."
 * Simmons: "Yeah Sarge is gonna be pissed when he sees the water bill."
 * Simmons: "And there's the caves."
 * Grif: "You said caves twice."
 * Simmons: "Yeah I really like the caves!"
 * Simmons: "The point is, it's all here. And just wait till you see what's outside the canyon!"
 * Grif: "Outside the canyon?" (A sniper bullet zings past their heads)
 * Simmons: "Uh oh!"
 * Grif: "Yikes!"
 * Simmons: "Oh yeah, the Blues are here too."
 * Caboose: "You missed him!"
 * Church: (Annoyed) "I know!" (Fires again)
 * Caboose: "Hit a rock that time!"
 * Church: (Angry) "I know!"
 * Grif: "Should I use my Armor Lock thing?"
 * Simmons: "No check this out! (Creates a holograph image of himself) Look what I got! It's a hologram. Pretty cool huh?"
 * Church: "I GOT HIM!" (snipes him again but it fades away)
 * Church: "Oh dammit. I hate that thing!" (Reloads)
 * Grif: "Wow that's pretty cool."
 * Simmons: "And the best part is, now I have someone to talk to."
 * Holo-Simmons: "We have all the same intrests. For instance: I love obscure comic books and number theories."
 * Simmons: "Oh man those things are the best."
 * Grif: "Suddenly it's not as cool as it was ten seconds ago."
 * Simmons: "And another great thing is that the Holo-Simmons is available whenever I need him. The only problem is that the manual say that if I play with him too much, I can go blind. I don't think that's true though."
 * Holo-Simmons: "Yeah! Wait...I thought you were the Holo-Simmons!"
 * Simmons: "No I'm the real one."
 * Holo-Simmons: "You are?! But I have so many memories. My first kiss, graduation, my wife and kids. It has to be real! It has to be! What does my life meaaaaan?" (Fades away)
 * Simmons: "Yeah I forgot to mention, they become self-aware after a few minutes."
 * Grif: "That was kinda creepy."
 * Simmons: "Yeah...we should let Bungie know about that!"
 * Grif: "Sounds like he had a better fake life than your real one."
 * Simmons: (Annoyed) "I don't wanna talk about it."
 * Sarge: "Ha! See ya suckers."
 * Church: "Get him! (Fires Sniper rounds at him, cleary missing) He went that way! He's got our flag!"
 * Simmons: "And look, Sarge got a jet pack."
 * Caboose: "I'll get him!" (Enters Banshee)
 * Sarge: "Haha Red Team."
 * Grif: "Where's he going?"
 * Simmons: "Maybe he's taking the long way back to base!"
 * Grif: "Hey Simmons! When you said, 'outside the canyon' before, what exactly did you mean?"
 * Simmons: "This place is a little...bigger now."
 * Grif: "Big? How big?"
 * Simmons: "Oh don't worry Grif, you'll see! You'll see!"
 * Sarge: "Now that's what I call a view. Where the heck did I park? This place is huge! No way we're gonna trash this lot."
 * Sarge: "Get out of here you stupid Eagle! Find your own enormous map!"
 * Sarge: "I understand that I'm very high up, you don't need to beat me over the head with it!"
