At [[E3 2000]], an early '''trailer for [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''' was shown. It was called the '''Halo E3 2000 Trailer'''. It depicted events that don't appear in the final game. [[Bungie]] also made a comedic advertisement "demonstrating" the Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS graphics card using the E3 engine to make the commercial.[http://www.gametrailers.com/player/1604.html]

The Major Elite and two Banshees pursue Geoff and destroy his Ghost. Geoff is wounded, out of ammo, and about to be killed, when the Master Chief appears with an Energy Sword. The Chief then impales the Elite with the [[Energy Sword]]. Geoff is evacuated while the Master Chief tells him that his fight is just beginning.

==Transcript==
''The camera pans over a mountainous landscape. At the top of a mountain, near an apparent Forerunner complex, two Elite minors are patrolling back and forth. Two Banshees fly overhead.''
'''Banshee Pilot:''' (translated) Beginning patrol.
'''Minor Elite 1:''' (translated) Good hunting.
''The first Minor Elite walks over to the second.''
'''Minor Elite 1:''' (translated) They will surely find them.
'''Minor Elite 2:''' (translated) You speak truly.
''The first Elite turns and continues pacing. While its back is turned, the second Elite is shot in the head with a silenced bullet and collapses backward. The first Elite looks around, confused, then is shot in the head and falls forward.''
'''Master Chief:''' Recon reporting. Hostiles have been neutralized.
'''Sergeant Stacker (COM):''' Say again? Over!
'''Master Chief:''' The drop zone is clear. I repeat, the drop zone is clear.
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' Understood. Lieutenant, let's get this thing moving.
''The Pelican dropship accelerates over a body of water toward the mountains.''
'''Lieutenant (COM):''' Hang tight, this may get a little rough.
''The Pelican flies low between the mountains.''
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' I want a quick, tight dispersal. If they catch us napping, this operation is as good as over!
'''Marines:''' Sir, yes sir!
'''Lieutenant (COM):''' Coming up on the insertion point.
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' Geoff, you get that 'Hog rolling as soon as we dust off. I need your team in position A.S.A.P.
'''Geoff:''' I'm all over it!
''The Pelican lowers straight down and hovers several feet above the ground. The Warthog is detached from back of the dropship and the marines jump out of the aircraft's bay.''
'''Lieutenant (COM):''' Warthog detached. Clear drop zone and advise.
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' Go, go, go!
''McLees, Segur and Geoff climb into the Warthog.''
'''Geoff:''' Let's roll.
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' Get the hell out of here, Lieutenant.
'''Lieutenant (COM):''' Good luck.
''The Pelican takes off and flies over the Warthog.''
'''Geoff (COM):''' See you at the rendevous point.
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' Affirmative.
''Stacker, Wang and Laine run along a mountain path toward their objective. The Warthog drives along the coast to the same location, pausing to avoid a herd/pack of Blind Wolves. The Warthog arrives at the Forerunner facility first. Geoff dismounts and approaches the facility on foot.''
'''Geoff (COM):''' Objective in sight: six hostiles, six vehicles.
''Stacker's group run past a herd of Thorn Beasts, one of which roars.''
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' Draw off what you can.
''Geoff waves for Segur and McLees to come toward him. They leave the Warthog and run toward him.''
'''Geoff:''' Segur, target infantry. McLees, target armor.
'''McLees:''' You set 'em up, I'll knock 'em down!
''McLees returns to the Warthog and mans its turret. Geoff and Segur crest a rise and open fire on the Elites guarding the facility's entrance.''
'''Geoff:''' Initiating contact.
''The Elites return fire and a Wraith slowly makes its way toward the marines.''
'''Geoff:''' That did it. Fall back!
''As they turn to retreat, Segur is shot in the back repeatedly and killed. Geoff continues to distract the Wraith as it crests the rise and is destroyed by McLees using the Warthog's cannon turret. Stacker's group arrives and wipes out the rest of the Elites.''
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' Report!
'''Geoff:''' We lost Segur.
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' Geoff, you and McLees keep this entrance clear. The rest of us are going down that hole to find whatever those blue bastards were after. Private Wang, you have point.
''The doors open and the marines run into the facility. They make their way down a series of ramps to the facility's lower level.''
'''Private Wang:''' Clear! No movement, no heat, no Covenant anywhere. Somethin' ain't right.
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' Hold up. And Wang? Put a sock in it, will ya?
'''Private Wang:''' All's I'm saying is, there's a lot of unlocked doors for somethin' that nobody's supposed to have been in in 100,000 years.
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' We got nothin' down the rabbit hole. See anything topside?
'''Geoff:''' Not a damn thing.
'''Private Wang:''' All clear. Looks like nobody's ho--
''An Elite Major sneaks up behind Wang and spears him on the end of an Energy Sword, cutting off his sentence and lifting him off his feet.
''Stacker and Laine open fire, but their shots are Elite's arm shield. Numerous Elites push forward and pursue the humans.''
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' Outnumbered! Attempting to disengage!
'''Geoff:''' Position is secure, we're coming in!
''Laine is killed and falls off the ramp. Stacker shoots and kills one of the Elites.''
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' Negative! Hold your position!
'''Geoff:''' No way, Sarge. Fifty meters and closing.
'''Sergeant Stacker:''' Geoff, get the hell out of here! That's an or--
''Stacker is killed by heavy fire.''
'''Geoff:''' Come on, let's move.
'''McLees:''' Go. I'll cover you.
''Geoff gets in a Ghost and flees the facility. The Elite Major follows on another Ghost, and although McLees shoots at it, he is unable to stop it. He is then shot repeatedly by three Elite Minors.''
'''McLees:''' Hey, stooges.
''He holds out a fragmentation grenade. The Elite Minors turn toward him and growl with alarm. The grenade explodes, killing McLees and the Elites, and triggering a series of explosions which destroy two Ghosts and a Spectre. Two Banshees chase down Geoff, destroying his Ghost and leaving him wounded. The Elite Major dismounts from his Ghost and advances on the injured marine. Geoff raises his Assault Rifle, but it clicks as he pulls the trigger; he is out of ammunition.''
'''Elite Major:''' (in English) Your destruction is the will of the Gods, and we are their instrument.
'''Geoff:''' Go to Hell!
''The Elite levels its Plasma Rifle at Geoff's head, but is distracted by the sound of gunfire. Two Minor Elites are shown shooting at something off camera. The Master Chief then crests a ridge wielding an Energy Sword, having apparently killed the two Elite Minors and taken it from one of them. The Elite Major shoots him several times with the Plasma Rifle but the shots are absorbed by his shields. The Spartan charges the Elite and stabs it in the stomach. The Elite clutches its stomach, fires its rifle several more times, then collapses. The Pelican flies toward Geoff and the Master Chief.''
'''Master Chief:''' Can you walk?
'''Geoff:''' [[Cortana]] told us one of you was on board, but I didn't believe her.
'''Master Chief:''' Enemy airborne battalion inbound. Let's get you on board.
'''Geoff:''' You're staying?
'''Master Chief:''' Yes. My battle is just begun.
