Enemy Weapon

Enemy Weapon is a live-action TV trailer that was part of the Believe advertisement campaign for Halo 3.

It takes place in the Museum of Humanity and concerns an interview with a pair of retired UNSC soldiers who fought The Covenant. They interview Roland Huffman and Tomas Navarro.

In the trailer an interviewer questions the retired soldiers, whilst they walk through the museum, looking at the various captured Covenant weapons, a Brute Chieftain's head-dress with a single bullet hole in it, human weapons and a few human vehicles.

They talk to the two soldiers about their weapons and duties, cutting to them and their effects during the clip. The interviewer then asks about the Brute Spiker on the display stand in front of them. Huffman describes it and picks it up, causing the weapon to activate, along with blue lights on the weapon also activating. Huffman then expresses discomfort at holding an enemy's weapon, and puts it down.

After that he talks to Navarro about how he never believed they would survive, and that the only reason they did is because of The Chief.

If, um, if you'd have told me a few years ago we would be here in this place talking about this, I'd have said 'No way, it's not gonna happen,'. If there's one reason why we're here, um, I would say it's, uh,(clears throat) it's because of The Chief.
