Two Banshees chase down Gough, destroying his Ghost and leaving him wounded. The Sangheili Major dismounts from his Ghost and advances on the injured marine. Gough raises his Assault Rifle, but it clicks as he pulls the trigger; he is out of ammunition.''

*The Sangheili' armor differs from the final game. The back of their gauntlets are dark blue instead of yellow, their helmet fins are longer, and there are two larger Forerunner symbols adorning their backs.

*The Marines' [[M12 Warthog]] is armed with some kind of light artillery piece. It may be an early version of the [[M68 Gauss cannon]], which did not appear in the final game. It also glows purple rather than yellow on the windshield and headlights.
*The [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] depicted have tail flaps that appear to act as rudders for aerial steering. The legs of the Banshee pilots are more exposed. The Banshees' engines sound like the ''Halo 2'' [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]].

*There is an early version of what appears to be the [[Wuzum-pattern Spectre|Spectre]]. It seemingly was meant to be in the game also, but didn't make the cut until ''[[Halo 2]]'' was released.

**Covenant "Shadow" - the early name for a vehicle cut from final release and later introduced into ''[[Halo 2]]'' as the {{Pattern|Wuzum|Spectre}} - albeit with a heavy redesign. The version featured in the E3 2000 trailer would later be restored as part of the [[Digsite]] initiative and canonised as the {{Pattern|Wuchek|Spectre}}.
**Rocket Warthog - A rocket turret-equipped variant of the Warthog ultimately cut from the final release. The concept was later re-introduced in the game's [[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|PC port]] as the [[M12A1 Rocket Warthog]] (albeit with a redesigned [[M39 rocket turret]]) while the specific vehicle design itself was later reused in ''Halo 2'' as the [[M12G1 Gauss Warthog]] - with the rocket turret design recontexualised as the [[M68 Gauss cannon]].
