Over the next several years, information on the project was released in the form of press releases, concept art and production stills on the film's website, Facebook page, and Youtube channel. UNSC Marines and [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]] would have been featured. VFX work was reportedly scheduled for depiction of [[plasma]] fire, [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]]s and [[M808 Main Battle Tank|Scorpion]]s. No explanation was ever given for what would have been used to depict [[Covenant]] infantry, though a tweet suggested they would have been modeled. | Over the next several years, information on the project was released in the form of press releases, concept art and production stills on the film's website, Facebook page, and Youtube channel.

A trailer was filmed but ultimately not completed. It was intended to serve as a “slice of life” teaser showing combat taking place around the ''Chaste Ascendency'' perimeter prior to the commencement of Operation Chastity. Filmed footage included columns of transport Warthogs, street battles in an abandoned town, and a massive battle in an Argentinian valley around the ''Chaste Ascendency'' crash site, with the battle filmed in the style of the [[Halo 3 announcement trailer|''Halo 3'' announcement trailer]]. Locations for the teaser trailer film shoot included RAF Uxbridge and Dunstable Downs in the United Kingdom, and actors in the teaser included Joerg Stadler, Arkie Reece, Anthony Topham, Al Gregg, Josh Dyer, Alexandra Metaxa and Vin Hawke. | A trailer was filmed but ultimately not completed.

* The unit’s backstory was that they missed out on the [[Fall of Reach]] as they were in the midst of a refit along with their frigate, the UNSC ''Hope Springs Eternal''. The ship was still dry-docked in the Misriah shipyards when [[Mars] fell to the Covenant. Both the frigate and the regiment took part in the Battle of Earth and the combat that took place [[Battle of Voi|in Voi]] and [[Battle of Mombasa|New Mombasa]] after the Covenant invasion, before eventually being posted to the ''Chaste Ascendency'' containment zone in Argentina. | * The unit’s backstory was that they missed out on the [[Fall of Reach]] as they were in the midst of a refit along with their frigate, the UNSC ''Hope Springs Eternal''.
