A pair of [[Elites]] are depicted on patrol, watching a pair of Banshees fly away, when they suddently get sniped by the [[Master Chief]] who has a different and more robotic voice than the final one. He then claims that a landing zone is clear, and a [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelican]] dropship flies in, putting down [[Marines]] (a squad comprised of [[Sergeant Stacker]], Private [[Wang]], and several unranked Marines: [[Geoff]], [[Segur]], [[McLees]], and Laine) and a [[Warthog]]. They split into two teams, headed for the same destination. As they travel across [[Halo]], they encounter native wildlife not in the final game, namely a pack of [[Blind Wolf|Blind Wolves]] and a group of [[Thorn Beasts]]. | A pair of [[Elites]] are depicted on patrol, watching a pair of Banshees fly away, when they suddently get sniped by the [[Master Chief]] who has a different and more robotic voice than the final one.

The group with the Warthog (McLees, Segur, and Geoff), get to the target first, spotting six Elites, four [[Ghosts]], a Wraith, and what looks like a Spectre. Segur and Geoff attract their attention, drawing the Wraith into range of McLees' Warthog cannon, but Segur is killed by [[Needler]] rounds to the head and back. Stacker's group appears, flanking the Elites and killing all of them. | The group with the Warthog (McLees, Segur, and Geoff), get to the target first, spotting six Elites, four [[Ghosts]], a Wraith, and what looks like a Spectre.

Stacker's group appears, flanking the Elites and killing all of them. They go in the Forerunner structure while Geoff and McLees guard the door. The three marines proceed into an underground chamber where they are soon ambushed and massacred by more Elites, the only [[Covenant]] alien featured in the trailer. One Elite in particular is depicted wielding an energy sword in one hand and a large [[Sangheili Point Defense Gauntlet|Energy Shield]] on his other arm. It is possible that it was shrunken and transferred over to the [[Jackals]] in the final game. Wang is killed by the Elite with the sword, and Laine is killed on the ramp back to the door. Stacker is killed urging the remaining marines to fall back. McLees covers the door while Geoff takes a Ghost and flies off. Sigurd fails to kill the Major Elite running to a Ghost to pursue Geoff, and is shot by three Minor Elites. A wounded McLees detonates a [[grenade]] to take out the Minors before they can fly off in the Spectre vehicle, destroying all the vehicles there. | ||

[[Bungie]] also made a comedic advertisment "demonstrating" the Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS graphics card using the E3 engine to make the commercial.

*The Marines' [[Warthog]] is armed with some kind of light artillery piece. 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 Marines' [[Warthog]] is armed with some kind of light artillery piece.
