 == Noticeable Differences from the final version of [[Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo:CE]] ==
 *The whole trailer, including the segments that resemble actual gameplay, is shown from third-person perspective. The third-person view, which is only used for vehicles in the final game, was developed before the first-person view, and early development envisioned the game as a wholly third-person shooter.
-*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. Plasma rifles fire green-blue rounds that make longer tracer streaks and noises instead of the short-round blue plasma blasts.
 *Halo is depicted as having an assortment of native wildlife.
 *The [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] depicted have tail flaps that act as a rudder for aerial steering.
 *An [[Sangheili Major|Elite Major]] uses the Energy Sword to kill one of the [[UNSC Marine Corps|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.
-*The [[Assault rifle|Assault Rifle]] used by the Marines appears to have a wood finish on various parts.
+*The [[MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System|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 version of the game would prove. Their armor and color of uniform differs slightly, and their rangefinder eyepiece is red, instead of green.

-*The Elites' design is slightly different in some scenes, where it has a lower jaw instead of the four mandibles. Although some of them have do have mandibles as we see in the games.
+*The Elites' design is slightly different in some scenes, appearing as 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 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 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. Both their forearms had spikes, though only the left one has now.
+*The legs of the Banshee pilots are more exposed.
-*The legs of the Banshee pilots were more exposed.
+*There is an early version of what appears to be the [[Type-46 Infantry Support Vehicle|Spectre]]. It seemingly was meant to be in the game also, but didn't make the cut until ''[[Halo 2]]'' came out. This appears to be where the [[Shade]] turret came from, as there is one planted on top of the Spectre.

This is probably where the [[Shade]] turret came from, as there is one planted on top of the Spectre.
 *The Banshees' engines sound like the ''Halo 2'' [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]].
 *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 version of the game since Marines can easily take them down individually with an apparent lack of effort. Surprisingly at the end of the trailer, 18 Elites get killed compared to 5 Marines.
+*The Elites don't seem to have any shields like they do in the final version of the game. As a result the Marines are far more able to hold their own against the aliens.
-*The Elite's Energy Shield was like that of a Jackal's personal shield although larger.
+*The Elites sound very different, with deep and rasping voices, and bear a noticeable resemblance to the noises made by the [[The Flood|Flood]] in the final version.
-*The Elites also sound very different, with deep and rasping voices, and bear a noticeable resemblance to the noises made by the [[The Flood|Flood]] in the final version.
 *The Elite's Plasma Rifles seem to have more of a purple color.
-*The Marines' [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] is armed with some kind of light artillery piece. It may be an early version of the [[M68 Asynchronous Linear-Induction Motor|Gauss Cannon]], which did not appear in the final cut of [[Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo]]. It is capable of knocking out a [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|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 only Covenant in the trailer are Elites, no [[Unggoy|Grunts]], [[Kig-yar|Jackals]], or [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]].
-*The Needler's projectiles don't glow. They are more like an explosive version of the Brute [[Type-25 Carbine|Spiker]].
+*The Needler's projectiles don't glow. They act more like an explosive version of the Brute [[Type-25 Carbine|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 [[Type-51 Carbine|Covenant Carbines]], which did not appear until ''Halo 2''.
-*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." Instead of "And we are their instruments.")
-*The above quote ("Your destruction is the will of the Gods. And we are their instruments") is also featured in the novel The [[Fall of Reach]] as the first transmission ever made by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] to the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] at Harvest.
-*The trailer plays a few tracks that are very similar to tracks in ''Halo 3'', particularly [[Greatest Journey]].
 *The Fragmentation Grenades' force which the dying Marine activates to kill the Elite is a lot stronger than the final version one.
-*The Pelican in the trailer does not use a one-letter-and-numbers combination (ie: E419) in its registration, instead it it just the number 79.

 *When the dying Marine activates the grenade, it actually detonates the parked vehicles, though in the final version they would just flip around with no damage done.
-*The Surviving Marine says to the Chief at the end of the video, "You're Staying?" he then replies that his battle has just begun. This is never said in the final game, but it is the precursor for Halo 3's "Finish the fight" motto. Which might mean that Bungie never forgot that they made the early Chief say this line and use it as a tribute.

-*The Marines seem to run faster than in the final game.
-*The Wraith's damage is a lot stronger on the version in the trailer than it is in the final game.
-*Stacker is killed in this, but in the released game, he is seen later on, and in ''Halo 2'', and ''Halo 3''.
-*The Wraith seems to have some kind of energy shield that sparks up where it is shot.
-*Marines don't run out of ammo in the final version.
-*The Marines are better drivers than in the final game, avoiding animals, while in the final game, Marines have a tendency to accidentally splatter the Chief.
-*Also, in the final game, Marines only use ghosts during gameplay, and a Warthog in the first cutscene.
-*The Assault Rifles fire faster in the final version.
