The '''''Halo'' announcement trailer''' was the trailer that first unveiled ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' to the public in [[1999 (real world)|1999]]. It was created when ''Halo'' was still going to be third person shooter for the Mac and [[Personal computer|PC]], the trailer is a demo run in real-time on a Power Mac G3 with Rage 128. The version of ''Halo'' shown in the trailer differs heavily from the final game, but some of the core elements, like [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II]] supersoldiers, [[Sangheili|Elites]], the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] and many weapons, were already in. The music played in the trailer is the [[Halo Theme]].
The '''''Halo'' announcement trailer''' first unveiled ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' to the public at Macworld [[1999 (real world)|1999]] running in real-time on a Power Mac G3 with Rage 128. At this point in development, ''Halo'' was still a third-person shooter for the Mac, and while this early build of the game differed heavily from the retail version, it featured recognizable core elements such as [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II]] supersoldiers, [[Sangheili|Elites]], and the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]].

==Synopsis==
The trailer begins with a Spartan-II in an early version of [[Installation 04|Alpha Halo]]'s [[Control Room]], seemingly doing some operations with [[The Core]]. He then runs away, and ends up in a hangar with a few [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] and two [[Sangheili|Elites]] with [[Type-1 energy sword|Energy Swords]]. He taunts the Elites, and runs through some Forerunner corridors as they chase him. He exits into an open hilly area, with a [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]] and two other Spartans, one of whom is firing an [[assault rifle]]. Gesturing with his hands, all three Spartans then jump into the Warthog and drive across the hills, the Elites unable to catch the vehicle.
The trailer begins with a Spartan-II in an early version of [[Installation 04|Alpha Halo]]'s [[Control Room]], seemingly doing some operations with [[The Core]]. He then runs away, and ends up in a hangar with a few [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] and two [[Sangheili|Elites]] with [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Swords]]. He taunts the Elites, and runs through some Forerunner corridors as they chase him. He exits into an open hilly area, with a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] and two other Spartans, one of them is firing an [[Assault rifle]]. Gesturing with his hands, all three Spartans then jump into the Warthog and drive across the hills, the Elites unable to catch the vehicle.


As the Warthog drives through the hills, two Elites spot it and give chase with their [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghosts]]. The Warthog opens fire with its [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun|M41 LAAG]] and manages to flip one Ghost over, after which the other gives up. The Warthog then stops and the Spartans disembark, spotting a Banshee guarded by two Elites down in a valley. One of the Spartans jumps into the Warthog and drives past the Elites, distracting them. The second Spartan jumps behind the [[Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifle|Plasma Rifle]]-wielding Elite and points a [[Pistol]] at his head, making the Elite surrender. The third one makes a run for the Banshee and takes off, avoiding blasts from the second Elite's [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Gun]]. The Banshee flies across the landscape, and another Spartan is seen atop a tall hill, waving a [[Bungie]] flag.
