Red vs. Blue Halo: Reach PSA: Deja View is a public service announcement video created by Rooster Teeth Productions with guidance from Bungie, used to promote the Halo: Reach remake of the classic Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer map Blood Gulch. In it, the Red vs. Blue characters of Red Team showcase the main features of the map, a new armor ability; the Holograph, and shows a small glimpse of the immensely large playable area outside the confines of the main canyon.

Transcript

The Rooster Teeth logo is displayed on the screen, and the screen fades into a view of the Red base in Template:Levelname, where Sarge addresses Grif and Simmons.

• Sarge: "Men, I've got a big announcement from Command."

• Grif: "Oh great, I'm sure this is going to work out well for us. Let me guess Sarge, they discovered a revolutionary new way for us to scrub toilets?"

• Sarge: "Nope, we're going home."

• Simmons: "What?"

• Grif: "What?!"

• Sarge: "Just got the message from Command, we all get to go home."

• Grif: "Are you sure Sarge? Because if you're lying to me, that would be a really cool trick, I mean even for you. And you're kind of a dick... sir."

• Sarge: "'Got our orders right here. They read: 'Congratulations STOP You are all going home STOP Transports are en-route STOP Thank you for your service STOP This message will now stop STOP."

• Simmons: "Did they send the message via telegram?"

• Grif: "Who cares, Simmons, we're going home! The war is over!"

• Simmons: "It is?"

• Grif: "Yes! Didn't you hear the message?"

• Simmons: "Yeah, I did. Did you? Because it didn't say anything ab-"

A Hornet lands nearby.

• Grif: "There's the first transport, shotgun!"

Grif runs over to the Hornet and addresses the pilot.

• Grif: "Are you here to take us home?"

• Pilot: "Huh? Yeah, whatever, hop on."

Grif gets onto the side of the Hornet.

• Grif: "I'm so excited!"

• Pilot: "I don't care."

• Simmons: (Sighs) "Grif, I guess this is it, we'll never see each other again."

The Hornet takes off.

• Grif: "I know! Isn't it great?!"

The Hornet flies over the middles of the canyon, where Blue Team members Church, Caboose and Tucker stand looking at the Hornet.

• Caboose: "Goodbye yellow guy! We hate you!"

The Blues open fire on the Hornet.

• Grif: (Throws a grenade) "Goodbye guys, I hate you too!"

• Caboose: "Aw, he's just saying that to be nice."

The grenade detonates in the center of the Blue Team members. Cut to black. The scene switches to the Hornet, now a Falcon, which lands in a grassy area. Grif hops out.

• Grif: "Thanks for the lift soldier!"

• Pilot: "Get away from the cockpit, jackass."

• Grif: "No problem bud. Why'd we stop here? What is this, some kind of way station?"

• Pilot: "Yeah, something like that. Bitch."

The Falcon takes off, revealing Simmons standing there.

• Grif: (To the Falcon) "So, where do I catch the transport home?! Hey, come back!"

• Simmons: "Grif, you made it."

• Grif: "Simmons? What are you doing here?"

• Simmons: "This is our new base."

• Grif: "New base? I though we were going home!"

Sarge emerges from the nearby Red base.

• Sarge: "That's right Grif! Look, we're home!"

• Grif: "What?"

• Simmons: "Look! We got back our old canyon!"

The camera shows a full view of Blood Gulch, with the Falcon leaving its boundaries.

• Sarge: "Isn't it perfect?!"

• Simmons: "What do you think Grif? Grif?"

Grif tries to speak, but stutters several times.

• Sarge: "Look, he's speechless!"

Grif begins to cry loudly.

• Simmons: "Now he's crying with joy."

• Sarge: "Okay, well that's taking it a bit far. Unproductive emotions are unbecoming of a soldier. I can handle emotion, but I won't stand the unsightliness!"

Grif suddenly activates his Armor Lock. It remains active for several seconds, then deactivates.

• Grif: "What was that?"

• Simmons: "That was your Armor Lock. We got more than just a new base, we got new armor and equipment too."

• Sarge: "I even discovered a new way to greet people."

Sarge runs behind Grif, grabs his shoulder and turns him around. Sarge raises a Combat Knife and stabs Grif through the mouth. Grif falls to the ground.

• Grif: "Agh... ow... my mouth!"

• Sarge: "Hello, and welcome to our new home, dirtbag!"

• Simmons: "Come on, let me give you a tour."

• Sarge: (Chuckles) "Grif must feel right at home, he's already lying down on the job."

Simmons walks over to two Warthogs, both sporting different turrets; gauss and rocket.

• Simmons: "See, we got all new vehicles."

Grif walks over.

• Grif: "Dibs on the rocket one!"
