Halo E3 2000 trailer: Difference between revisions

*Sound effects for the [[weapons]] differ, as do the visual effects used during their firing. They make longer laser-like streaks and noises instead of the short plasma blasts.  

*Halo is depicted as having an assortment of native wildlife.

*The [[Banshee|Banshees]] depicted have tail flaps that act as a rudder for aerial steering.

*A [[Elite Major|Major Elite]] uses the [[Energy Sword]] to kill one of the [[Marines]].  However, that particular rank never uses the sword in the final version. A [[Elite Minor|Minor Elite]] was also seen wielding the energy sword.

*The [[Assault Rifle]] used by the Marines appears to have a wood finish on various parts.

*The Marines are depicted to be much more efficient in Combat than the Final game would prove. Their armor and color of uniform differs slightly, and their "scouter" eyepiece is red, instead of green.

*The [[Elites|Elite's]] design is slightly different in some scenes, where it has a lower jaw instead of the four [[mandibles]]. Some of them have [[mandibles]].

*There is an early version of what appears to be the Spectre. It seemingly was meant to be in the game also, but didn't make the cut until [[Halo 2]] came out. This is probably where the [[Shade]] turret came from, as there is one planted on top of the Spectre.

*Look very carefully at the [[Sniper Rifle]] the Master Chief was using in the beginning of the trailer. He was wielding the SRS99D-S2 AM Sniper Rifle, which was used later in [[Halo 3]]

*The Master Chief uses an Energy Sword, which he isn't able to do until Halo 2, he has a robotic voice, and a radio antenna on his shoulder. When he is hit by enemy fire, his shields flicker blue instead of yellow.

*The [[Elites]] don't seem to have any shields like they do in the final game since Marines can easily take them down individually.

*The Elite's Energy Shield was like that of a Jackal's personal shield.

*The Elites also sound very different, with deep and rasping voices, and bear a noticeable resemblance to the noises made by the [[Flood]] in the final version.

*The marines' [[warthog]] is armed with some kind of light artillery piece, and it is not a turret or rocket launcher. It may be an early version of the [[Gauss Cannon]], which did not appear in the final cut of [[Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo]]. It is capable of knocking out a wraith in two shots, rather than the LAAG in the the shipping version.  It also glows purple rather than yellow on the windshield and headlights.   

*The only Covenant in the trailer are [[Elites|Elites]], no [[Grunts]], [[Jackals]], or [[Hunters]].

*The [[Needler's]] projectiles don't glow.  They are more like an explosive version of the Brute [[Spiker]].

*The Elites hold the [[Plasma Rifle]] in a different way

*The inside of the [[Pelican]] looks different.

*Some of the energy blasts seem to be from [[Covenant Carbines]]

*Furthermore you must notice that the red Elite speaking says:

"Your destruction is the will of the Gods. And we are their instruments." Truth says this in one of the first cutscenes in Halo 3 Trailer.

*The trailer plays a track which ended up being the main theme for  Halo 3.
