[[Covenant]] [[Covenant | The video opens with [[Catherine-B320]] running across a battlefield in a ruined human city, holding an MFDD while firing an [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|M6G sidearm]] with her other hand. [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Covenant Army|ground forces]], including [[Sangheili Ultra]]s and [[Unggoy]], can be seen assaulting human troops. The view cuts to show [[Jorge-052]], supporting regular human infantry with his heavy machine gun and faces forward where you can see [[Emile-A239]] waving Kat through to the left. The camera briefly cuts to show a wider view of the battle, revealing a Covenant CCS-class Battlecruiser hovering above the city, while two [[UH-144 Falcon]]s fly past the camera, their turrets firing at targets on the ground. | ||

A five-minute countdown appears on her [[Heads-up display|Heads Up Display]]. She keeps running through the battlefield, and in the background, [[Carter-A259]] can be seen assassinating an Elite. Several shots of Kat running are shown, one from first-person view of her firing her pistol (killing a [[Skirmisher]]) and another showing the reflection of the Covenant cruiser on her faceplate. A first-person view of [[Jun-A266]] seeing Kat under fire is shown, in which he raises his [[Sniper Rifle System 99 Anti-Matériel|sniper rifle's]] scope and then snipes an Ultra. After Kat leaps over an obstacle, a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] swoops overhead, and fires a [[plasma]] bolt from its [[Class-2 Projectile cannon|Fuel Rod Cannon]]. The bolt impacts the ground right next to Kat, and the explosion sends her flying through the air, leaving her and the nuke lying on the ground. The nuke is shown to have two minutes left in its countdown display. | ||
[[Thom-293]] arrives at the spot where Kat is lying, briefly looks at her, and then picks up the nuke. Kat's eyes are shown reflected in her cracked visor as she watches Thom activate his [[ | [[Thom-293]] arrives at the spot where Kat is lying, briefly looks at her, and then picks up the nuke. Kat's eyes are shown reflected in her cracked visor as she watches Thom activate his [[portable jump-jet|jetpack]], take off and fly toward the Covenant cruiser, entering the ship through its [[gravity lift]]. Inside, he rushes to a ledge overlooking a [[hangar bay]] where multiple [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]] and Banshees are docked, and countless Unggoy move on the lower floor. Thom tosses the MFDD down and starts running back the way he entered the room. As the nuke flies to the camera, its display shows 00:01 left in the countdown. | ||
The view cuts to an overhead shot of the cruiser, its [[Energy shielding|shields]] fluctuating uncontrollably as multiple explosions bloom across the hull.

The live-action trailer was directed by [[Noam Murro]] and edited by [[Wikipedia:Angus Wall|Angus Wall]]. The trailer features an original musical score written and produced by Human, with [[Wikipedia:Brian Emrich|Brian Emrich]] as sound designer. The entire trailer was filmed on location in [[Wikipedia:Prague|Prague]]. For the production of Deliver Hope, Microsoft and Bungie partnered with advertisement agency Agency 215, [[Legacy Effects]] and [[Wikipedia:Method Studios|Method Studios]]. Visual design assets such as the interior of the Covenant cruiser or concept art for the MFDD were provided by Bungie. | The live-action trailer was directed by [[Noam Murro]] and edited by [[Wikipedia:Angus Wall|Angus Wall]].

During production, the early storyboards showed Kat's arm being severed, presumably by the fuel rod cannon blast that knocks her down. However, the scene was deemed too violent for television and was subsequently cut.<ref>[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=23005119&postcount=5274 '''NeoGaf''': ''View Single Post'' - 5274]</ref> Instead smoke is emitted from Kat's right shoulder, indicating a possible issue with her arm, and hinting that it needed to be amputated. | During production, the early storyboards showed Kat's arm being severed, presumably by the fuel rod cannon blast that knocks her down.

*The fact that Kat does not have a [[Artificial limb|prosthetic arm]] implies that the events seen in the trailer take place before the [[Fall of Reach]]. This was later confirmed by Bungie. However, the trailer is intentionally vague about the setting, which may lead casual fans to assume that it takes place on Reach. | *The fact that Kat does not have a [[Artificial limb|prosthetic arm]] implies that the events seen in the trailer take place before the [[Fall of Reach]].
