| ==Synopsis==
| |
| A pair of [[Sangheili|Elites]] are depicted on patrol, watching a pair of Banshees fly away, when they suddenly get sniped by the [[John-117|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 [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropship flies in, putting down [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] (a squad comprised of [[Stacker|Sergeant Stacker]], Private [[Wang]], and several unranked Marines: [[Geoff]], [[Segur]], [[McLees]], and Laine) and a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|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 Beast]]s.

| The group with the Warthog (McLees, Segur, and Geoff), get to the target first, spotting six Elites, four [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|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 [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]] rounds to the head and back. 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 Empire|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 [[Kig-yar|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. McLees 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.

| The Major Elite and two Banshees pursue Geoff and destroy his Ghost. Geoff is wounded, out of ammo, and about to be killed, when the Master Chief appears with an Energy Sword. The Chief then impales the Elite with the [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]]. Geoff is evacuated while the Master Chief tells him that his fight is just beginning.
