| '''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 (level)|Cairo Station]].

| ==Transcript==
| |
| A sentence appears on the screen:
| |
| | |
| '':MISSION HISTORY''<br />
| |
| ''> LOADING''
| |
| | |
| Cuts to Master Chief walking through a doorway, walking towards the camera. Various static messages are heard over the radio.
| |
| | |
| '''Pilot:''' "Sir! They just folded in, inside our formation!"
| |
| | |
| '''Admiral:''' "Son, I need you to calm down."
| |
| | |
| '''Pilot:''' "...additional contacts - moving to engage ''(static)''"
| |
| | |
| '''Admiral:''' "''(static)'' ...and get your picket back to rally point Alpha."
| |
| | |
| A rack of Battle Rifles automatically extends as Master Chief approaches; he takes one. Again the screen appears:
| |
| | |
| '':EXPLORE [[Installation 04|DERELICT RING HABITAT]]''<br />
| |
| ''>COMPLETE''
| |
| | |
| Cuts to the rack closing. Master Chief walks away from the camera into an elevator, and the doors close.
| |
| | |
| '''General:''' "Admiral, you can't let them maintain orbit."
| |
| | |
| '''Admiral:''' "I'm trying, General, but we've lost advantage within the lunar perimeter."
| |
| | |
| '':DESTROY [[Fleet of Particular Justice|HOSTILE GROUND FORCES]]''<br />
| |
| ''>COMPLETE''
| |
| | |
| '''Admiral:''' "My [[uNSC frigate|frigates]] are combat ineffective, and the [[gA-TL1 Longsword|fighters]]... they don't have enough punch to take out a [[Covenant assault carrier]]."
| |
| | |
| '''General:''' "Your pilots let up, but down here... it's the goddamn apocalypse!"
| |
| | |
| The elevator speed down its shaft. The trailer then cuts to the Master Chief who prepares his rifle.
| |
| | |
| '':NEUTRALIZE [[The Flood|ADAPTIVE PARASITIC LIFEFORM]]''<br />
| |
| ''>COMPLETE''
| |
| | |
| '''General:''' "I'm asking you to retarget the [[orbital defense platform|orbitals]]!"
| |
| | |
| '''Admiral:''' "And let more of them slip the kill zone? That's insanity! There's nothing more I can do!"
| |
| | |
| The elevator door opens, and Master Chief steps out into a chamber.
| |
| | |
| '':OUTWIT [[343 Guilty Spark|ANCIENT A.I. CONSTRUCT]]''<br />
| |
| ''>COMPLETE''
| |
| | |
| Master Chief walks farther into the chamber, toward the camera.
| |
| | |
| '''Pilot:''' "The core defense is too intense. Our grid is maxed, I don't think we can last another run!"
| |
| | |
| '''Cortana:''' "Admiral, tell your men to hold their positions. Reinforcements are on the spoke."
| |
| | |
| '''Admiral:''' "The [[UNSC Home Fleet|entire fleet]] is engaged, Cortana. With respect, what the hell sort of reinforcement have you ''got''?"
| |
| | |
| Master Chief stops, and the camera turns to show Earth through an airlock window, [[Glassing|various large explosions visible on its surface]].
| |
| | |
| '':STOP DESTRUCTION OF HUMAN RACE''<br />
| |
| (flashing)''>IN PROGRESS''
| |
| | |
| '''Tech:''' "It's passing below your position, ma'am. Proximity zero."
| |
| | |
| Master Chief opens a compartment and prepares to pull a lever.
| |
| | |
| '''Cortana:''' "What if you miss?"
| |
| | |
| '''Master Chief:''' "I won't." ''(pulls)''
| |
| | |
| The airlock doors open, causing air to be blown out. Master Chief rests against a pillar for a moment, and then flies out, shooting towards the camera. Fade to black, and fade in to Master Chief falling towards Earth, huge explosions evident on North America. A Covenant ship passes, allowing Master Chief to land on it. Fade to black and HALO 2 fades in.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The original part of this is retained but changed. Instead of setting himself down to Earth as a "reinforcement" he in the final version is "giving" the Covenant back their bomb and destroys a Covenant carrier.
