-The '''''Halo 2'' announcement trailer''' was released in movie theaters and on TV in the United States in September [[2002]]. The trailer gives a basic introduction to ''[[Halo 2]]'', showing that the [[Battle of Earth|Covenant had discovered and attacked Earth]]. It depicts [[John-117|Master Chief]] walking through an [[Orbital defense platform]], before jumping out of an airlock, presumably to board a Covenant ship. This video was later re-imagined as the final cutscene in the game's first level, [[Cairo Station]].
