The trailer was first shown at [[Microsoft]]'s [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3 Media Briefing]] on [[2011|June 6th, 2011]]. It depicts [[Cortana]] hastily awakening [[John-117]] from [[Cryo-chamber|cryo-sleep]] on the aft half of the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}, followed by John securing Cortana's [[Data crystal chip|storage chip]] and rushing through the wreckage to witness the ship being pulled into a [[Requiem|mysterious object]]. | The trailer was first shown at [[Microsoft]]'s [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3 Media Briefing]] on [[2011|June 6th, 2011]].

John stows Cortana's [[Data crystal chip|chip]] in his helmet, and pushes off the holotank to speed down the hallway. Taking advantage of the microgravity, he uses a pair of thrusters on his armor to maneuver through the girders and debris in the imploding hallway. He grabs a [[M363 Remote Projectile Detonator|sticky detonator]] and blasts a piece of debris out of the way, and stops his movement by grabbing a protruding girder. His boots magnetize themselves to the ship's hull. Now standing on the edge of the ''Forward Unto Dawn'', John reloads his pistol and stares out into space. The camera turns to show the ''Dawn'' being pulled into an enormous iris-like opening on the Forerunner Dyson-sphere, Requiem.'' | ||

* | *[[Frank O'Connor]] has confirmed that the events depicted in the trailer are ''"definitely not a part of the real game story"'' and that the trailer is intended as a teaser only.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/news/blog/343-sparkast-004-e3-edition/64516 '''343 Sparkast:''' ''6/8/11'']</ref> | ||
*The ''Forward Unto Dawn'' looks noticeably different from its appearance in ''[[Halo 3]]'', as the external [[bridge]] structure is not present and the [[hangar bay]] is less prominent. John's armor also appears to be visually revised; the helmet has an external rebreather apparatus, the chestplate has a different configuration, the shoulder pauldrons are much wider, the abdomen is armored, the groin armor is absent, and the gauntlets are smaller and are flat rather than ridged. Frank O'Connor has stated that some of the changes to John's armor are merely aesthetic, though other changes, including the lack of the codpiece, will be explained in the game's story.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FyEB5FhA8Q&feature=related '''IGN Live (E3 2011)''' - ''Halo HD Remake Commentary'']</ref> However, John's appearance in the trailer does not represent its appearance in the final game; the armor is currently in its fourth artistic iteration, as the art team intends to make John appear both iconic and familiar to fans.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP2gSLNzKSc&feature=related '''Halo Fest 2011''' - ''Halo 4 Discussion Part 1'']</ref> | |||
*Cortana can be heard crying ''"Wake up, John!"'' and ''"I need you!"'' to John while the latter is still in cryo-sleep. This is a reference to the final line of ''[[Halo 3]]'', when John tells Cortana, ''"Wake me. When you need me."'' | *Cortana can be heard crying ''"Wake up, John!"'' and ''"I need you!"'' to John while the latter is still in cryo-sleep.
