The Halo 2 Theatrical Trailer screened in movie theaters across the United States in October 2004. The trailer consisted mostly of shots from the E2 2003 demo and the E3 2004 Multiplayer Demo.[1]
Synopsis
The trailer starts out with the words: "The most lethal force in the universe", and the screen flashes to a shot of several Elites. Then it continues: "Has destroyed everything in its path". It flashes a shot of a Pelican landing and a shot of a Ghost taking fire from a Phantom. It goes on to say: "On November 9th, What's in its path… is us." and the screen fades to a shot of the Earth. That shot vanishes.
A Pelican roars overhead, followed by a ghost being chased by a Phantom. The Master Chief is shown standing on a roadway, watching orbital insertion pods descend on New Mombasa. The writing then reappears and says: "We're not ready," and switches to the Master Chief cocking a Battle Rifle, a Warthog engaging Type-29 Shadows and some shots of multiplayer gameplay before more writing appears, reading: "He is".
The camera changes and shows some wreckage. It pans up to show the Chief standing atop a chunk of debris, wielding a pair of SMGs. Several Phantoms fly over him. The Master Chief looks into the camera and jumps. The screen flashes to the Halo 2 logo with an orange clouded background, followed by a voice that says: "Rated M for mature."
At the end the Xbox logo and website appear as normal until the website URL changes for a split second to ilovebees.com.
Production notes
The high-resolution model of Earth was reused several years later in the backdrop for Nassau Station, one of many Halo universe elements included in the fighting game Dead or Alive 4.[2]
