The Battle Begins is a campaign-exclusive trailer for Halo: Reach. It was released on July 29th, 2010 and runs for 1:06. It has a more dramatic tone than previous trailers, focusing on parts of the campaign that contemplate the Covenant invasion and destruction of Reach.

Trivia

• Contributors at halo.bungie.org have noted that the final image of Noble Six staring at a crashed Covenant vessel resembles Crashed, a piece of artwork from Marathon 2: Durandal that was drawn by Craig Mullins.
• During this trailer there is a scene when Noble Six is holding a pair of dog tags. These could be another solidier's or they could be from an other member of Noble team. They could even be his own in his hands. More likely than not it is the dog tags of another member of Noble team.
• At exactly 33 seconds, the chainguns on the Warthogs are firing. However, the barrels are not spinning.
• At 34 seconds, Jorge-052 is on the floor, not responding to the attacking Elites, possibly meaning that he will either be critically injured or killed in Halo: Reach.
