Trivia

 * At approximately 41 seconds, Noble Six is seen holding a pair of dog tags, possibly belonging to a teammate or someone else related to the SPARTAN program.
 * The trailer's length, 1:06, is possibly a reference to Bungie's love of the number 7, because 1+6=7.
 * Contributors at HBO have noted that the final image of Noble Six staring at a crashed Covenant corvette resembles Crashed, a piece of artwork from Marathon 2: Durandal, made by Craig Mullins.
 * A TV version of this video has been released with a few extra scenes. The most noticable being a Covenant Cruiser being struck by a possible MAC blast. This may be the same Cruiser seen at the end of the trailer.
 * Throughout the trailer, the number of Noble Team periodically decrease between the events of action until only Noble Six remains.
