Trivia

 * Contributors at HBO have noted that the final image of Noble Six staring at a crashed Covenant vessel resembles Crashed, a piece of artwork from Marathon 2: Durandal that was drawn by Craig Mullins.
 * It was revealed in a Bungie update that a specially designed 40-second short would be used in TV commericals.
 * During this trailer there is a scene when Noble Six is holding a pair of dog tags. These could be another soldier's or another member of Noble Team.
 * At exactly 33 seconds, the chainguns on the Warthogs are firing. However, the barrels are not spinning. This could be the gun spinning and warming up before it fires, as heavy-machine guns do.
