*Sound effects for the [[weapons]] differ significantly, as do the visual effects used during their firing. Plasma rifles make longer tracer streaks and noises instead of the short-round plasma blasts. | *Sound effects for the [[weapons]] differ significantly, as do the visual effects used during their firing.

*An [[Elite Major]] uses the Energy Sword to kill one of the [[Marines]]. However, that particular rank never uses the Sword in the final version. An Elite Minor was also seen wielding the Energy Sword. In addition to those changes, the real game never appears to have the code for an Elite to lunge, the Elites always appear to swipe, or melee their opponents. | *An [[Elite Major]] uses the Energy Sword to kill one of the [[Marines]].

*The Marines are depicted to be much more efficient in combat than the final version of the game would prove. Their armor and color of uniform differs slightly, and their rangefinder eyepiece is red, instead of green. | *The Marines are depicted to be much more efficient in combat than the final version of the game would prove.

*The Elites' design is slightly different in some scenes, where it has a lower jaw instead of the four mandibles.

*The Major Elite that got impaled by the Chief seemed to close his jaws to talk, but opened them to roar, thing that in-game Elites never were capable to do. | |||
*The Elite armors were much different than the one of the final game. The back of their gauntlets were dark blue instead of yellow, their helmet fins were longer than usual Elites like the Spec Ops Elite, Stealth Elite and Zealot in the actual game, there were two Forerunner symbols adorning their backs, which are larger than the final game. | |||
*The legs of the Banshee pilots were more exposed. | |||
*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. | *There is an early version of what appears to be 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]]'' | *Look very carefully at the [[Sniper Rifle]] the Master Chief was using in the beginning of the trailer.

*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 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.

*Furthermore, one 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''. (First cutscene on "Crow's Nest", only difference is that he says "For your destruction is the will of the Gods! And I? I am their instrument."
