Halo Wars announcement trailer: Difference between revisions

==X06 Trailer==

The trailer shown at the X06 began with an [[Ensemble Studios]] logo, followed by four [[Warthogs|M12 LRV Warthogs]] and two modified (turretless) Warthogs leaping over a rise in a snowy night landscape. Two [[Marines]] from the outfit ''[[Blue six]]'', dressed in Arctic uniforms that haven't been seen in any other [[Halo]] productions before are radioing in to ''[[UNSC Spirit of Fire]]'', confirming their joining with Blue five (an outfit of five [[Scorpion Tank|M808B Scorpion tanks]]) and their trajectory towards the last-known position of the recon force with whom communications were severed. The camera then pans to two members of the recon patrol that seem to have re-established contact, as they radio in to Blue 6 as they flee from an unidentified figure towards a waiting Warthog. Both Marines, however, are promptly gunned down by plasma fire, with one man surviving long enough to turn on his back and witness an Elite uncloaking. Screams are heard over the radio, and it is revealed that the last remaining patrol member has been killed. The [[Elite]] picks up the carcass and inspects it, after which he tosses it aside. Additional Elites uncloak behind him as eleven [[Banshees]] rise into the air and charge forward. All-out battle breaks out as several previously unknown dropships land which might be updated versions of the [[UNSC]] [[Albatross]];accompanied by [[Shortsword]], [[Scorpions]], and [[Warthogs]] are deployed along the line. A wing of Banshees is shown wreaking havoc upon the UNSC air force, but several Marines taking cover behind an overturned Warthog are able to gun down the leader of several charging Elites with what appear to be [[Battle Rifle]]s. The Battle Rifles, however, seem to be automatic, and the Marines are firing them in controlled bursts. These may be an older design of Battle Rifle, one with automatic capabilities. The camera then cuts to an over-the-shoulder from behind a Spartan, which reveals that the battle has already progressed to a point where several columns of smoke are rising from the destruction. The Spartan then identifies himself, along with his 4 Spartan squadmates as Spartan Group Omega. Their armor seems to be a modified version of the Mark VI MJOLNIR or what might be older variant of Mark V(Featured in Halo:CE) armor Mark IV which features no shielding, with the plate armor being more reminiscent of the armor seen in ''[[Halo 2]]'' than the armor seen in ''[[Halo: CE]]'', albeit with a modified mouthpiece. The [[Spartans]] all seem to be carrying Battle Rifles. They give a bravado-charged "If they want war, we'll give 'em war", before the screen cuts to a ''Halo Wars'' logo and the trailer ends, but not before the X-box 360 logo appears.
