| 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]] [[Covenant military|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 {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}, ''[[Sanctity of Purification]]'', hovering above the city while two [[UH-144 Falcon]]s fly past the camera, their turrets firing at targets on the ground. | | 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.

| The camera then cuts to Kat's first-person view, with her arming the MFDD. A five-minute countdown appears on her [[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. | | The camera then cuts to Kat's first-person view, with her arming the MFDD.

| [[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 [[Series 8 jetpack|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 [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|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. | | Another Spartan, presumably [[Thom-293]], arrives to where Kat is lying, briefly looks at her and then picks up the nuke.

| 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.{{Ref/Reuse|confirm}}

| 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. Artist Steve Skroce produced several storyboards for the trailer, initially being told by the director his work was "too good", as he had spent so long on each image they had started to turn into "fan fiction".{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1488455391441783&set=pcb.1488457028108286&type=1&theater|Site=Facebook|Page=Steve Skroce|Quote=these are some boards I did for one of the Halo Reach commercials. The director said the drawings were 'Too good..' which I took as a great compliment at first but what he'd meant was that I was spending too much time on the drawing and had gone off script. which was true. I love the Halo games and have played them all and looking at these drawings I can see that I turned the gig into a little bit of my own fan fiction. the revisions were thumbnails essentially and very straight forward.

| Bungie's Associate Producer Dave Lieber produced a sound dialogue (provided on the right) of an Elite commander giving out a rousing speech for his combatants after being asked to explore what Elites might sound like just before a big battle.<ref name="elitespeech">[http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=28689 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 09/17/10'']</ref> This sound dialogue was absent in the final production.

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| [[File:KatB320 is really a man.jpg|thumb|Behind the scenes.]] | | *The fact [[Catherine-B320]] 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 confirmed by [[Brian Jarrard]], who stated that the takes place during the mission where Kat lost her arm. The Spartan who delivers the nuke into the cruiser is also implied to be the previous Noble Six, [[Thom-293]]. However, the trailer is intentionally vague about the setting, which may lead casual fans to assume it takes place on Reach.<ref name="gaf"/> |

| *The scene shown in the trailer is reminiscent of a part of Chapter Four in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', where [[Red Team]] destroys [[unidentified cruiser (Particular Justice)|a Covenant cruiser]] from the inside with a [[Fury Tactical Nuclear Weapon]]. | | *The scene shown in the trailer is reminiscent of a part of ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', where [[Red Team]] destroys a [[Unnamed Covenant Cruiser|Covenant cruiser]] from the inside with a [[Fury Tactical Nuclear Weapon]]. |
| *Two [[Sangheili Ultra|Elite Ultras]] are seen wielding both [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy swords]] and {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}s, a combination that has never been seen before. Such a combination would greatly mitigate the drawbacks of using a sword, which is most likely why it is not seen in any of the games. | | *One [[Sangheili|Elite]] [[Sangheili Ultra|Ultra]] is shown to be wielding both [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]] and a [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifle]], a combination that has never been seen before. |
| *When Kat drops the device, the screen shows that 63 terajoules of energy are released upon detonation. The atomic bomb that exploded over Hiroshima during World War II released 60 terajoules of energy.
| | *It is possible that radiation from the plasma got into [[Catherine-B320]]'s arm and needed to be amputated. |
| *[[Jorge-052]] is seen wielding his [[M247H Heavy Machine Gun|M247H]] left-handed, although he wields it right-handedly in ''Halo: Reach''. It is unknown whether he uses the weapon ambidextrously, or if this is merely an oversight. | |
| *The shielding on the ''Ket''-pattern battlecruiser appears similar to the energy shielding on the [[Sentinel]]s in ''[[Halo 3]]'', as well as that of the [[Bubble Shield]] and the [[Armor Abilities#Drop Shield|Drop Shield]], as all four display hexagonal shapes.
| |
| *Although the cruiser's shields are supposed to contain the blast, making it multiple times more destructive, if one looks closely near the beginning of the explosion, several small plumes, and eventually the entire explosion, travel right through it as if it were not there.
| |
| *Kat does not wear a jetpack, leaving it suspicious about how she intended to reach the cruiser's gravity lift, lending further credence to Holland's statement that Thom's death was the result of acting impulsively.
| |
| *The Army soldiers are shown using the MA5C instead of the MA37 ICWS, which is standard issue for Army units. It is possible that Army units on different planets are equipped differently. From a production standpoint, the MA5C props were used as they were readily available, having previously been used in ''[[The Life]]'', the extended version of ''[[Birth of a Spartan]]'', and ''[[Patrol]]''.
| |
| *Kat is actually played by a male stunt man in the scenes where she is running, but is played by a woman in the scene with the point of view inside her helmet. The Elite Ultra being assassinated by Carter is also played by a man in an Elite suit.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jqZuBRulbk '''Youtube''': ''Halo Reach - Making of <nowiki>'Deliver Hope'</nowiki>'']</ref>
| |
| *Kat's armor suit used within the trailer was later re-used during [[wikipedia:Penny Arcade Expo|PAX 2010]], where Kat was instead depicted by hired cosplayer Jordan Konkel.<ref>[http://www.405th.com/content.php/288-Interview-with-the-girl-in-the-Kat-suit-from-PAX '''405th.com''': ''Interview with the girl in the Kat suit from PAX''] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20100927165611/http://www.405th.com/content.php/288-Interview-with-the-girl-in-the-Kat-suit-from-PAX Archive])</ref> It and Thom's Mark V[B] were later repainted and used for [[Kelly-087]] and [[Frederic-104]] in ''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''.
