The Battle Begins is a campaign-exclusive trailer for Halo: Reach. It was released on July 29th, 2010 and runs for 1:06.[1] 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 HBO 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.
- A shorter, forty second long version of this trailer has been made as a television commercial, which features some alternate footage.[2]
- At approximately thirty seconds, the chainguns on the Warthogs are firing; however, their barrels are not spinning.
- The trailer's running time (1:06) may be a reference to the number 7, as 1+0+6=7.
- In the scene with the warthog charge, the gunner turns his turret around to shoot the banshees, but in the scene before, all the turrets were already aimed forward.
