The '''Halo: Reach E3 Campaign Demo''' is a demo showcasing a section of a [[Campaign]] level in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', first shown on June 14, at the [[Microsoft]] Press Conference at [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3 2010]].

In the demo, [[Noble Team]], after being dropped off to a beach by a [[UH-144 Falcon]], fight their way to a [[United Nations Space Command]] base, under heavy attack from invading [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ground and air forces. Upon clearing the base, [[SPARTAN-B312]] and [[Jorge-052]] enter a [[FSS-1000 Sabre|Sabre]], a rocket-launched space fighter, and enter [[Reach]]'s orbit to engage [[Type-31 Seraph|Covenant Seraphs]] while assisting the [[UNSC frigate|UNSC Frigate]] [[UNSC Savannah|''Savannah'']] in combat with a [[Ceudar-pattern heavy corvette|Covenant corvette]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5VoBkF62Wg '''Halo: Reach''' ''E3 Campaign Demo'']</ref>

==Transcript==
''The video opens with a view of a nebula.''

''The screen darkens. The '''[[Bungie]]''' logo is shown.''

''A view from an asteroid field in the [[Epsilon Eridani system|Epsilon Eridani System]] is shown, facing toward the star.''

''The screen darkens. The '''[[Microsoft|Microsoft Game Studios]]''' logo is shown.''

''The camera moves from behind one of Reach's moons, passes through the moon's rings, to reveal the planet Reach.''

''The screen darkens. The '''Halo: Reach''' logo is shown.''

''View opens on the surface of Reach, showing a large UNSC base beside a body of [[water]], surrounded by mountains. The camera turns downwards and shows a [[UH-144 Falcon]] landing on the beach. [[Jorge-052]], [[Catherine-B320]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]] jump out of the craft and the camera moves to Noble Six's first-person perspective. The team stands ready, with [[Carter-A259]] on the lead as the Falcon takes off and flies away.''

'''Carter-A259''': "Move up the beach, Noble."

''The screen flashes white as the player is given control. Carter and Kat take point, and the screen skips forward to a point where they move over a small hill. The player looks up, to see numerous [[Taaku Xur-pattern Spirit|Covenant "Spirit" dropships]] in the sky, as well as incoming Covenant [[Orbital insertion pod|Orbital Insertion Pods]].''

'''Jorge-052''': "Is there any place the Covenant isn't?"

''One of the Orbital Insertion Pods hits the beach some distance in front of the team, and a [[Sangheili]] steps out.''

'''Carter-A259''': "We've been engaged!"

''The team engages and kills several Sangheili, and moves over a small hill. A UNSC base is present, turrets engaging nearby Seraph fighters. On the next section of the beach, a [[Taaku Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit dropship]] drops off Covenant troops, including a Ghost. As the Ghost approaches Carter, he engages [[Armor lock|Armor Lock]], destroying the vehicle. The team then moves up toward the base entrance, and the player switches the Assault Rifle to the [[M319 Individual Grenade Launcher]] and dispatches some [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-yar]] with it. On top of the hill near the base entrance, there is a single Sangheili Ultra with a [[Elo'Nakada-pattern concussion rifle|Concussion Rifle]]. After the player kills the Sangheili, the team moves toward the base entrance.''

'''Carter-A259''': "Inside, Six. Lets go!"

''Noble Team enters the UNSC base, with two UNSC soldiers covering the entrance.''

'''Female Trooper:''' "Spartans, coming in!"

''The Spartans follow the hallway, passing several infantrymen. Eventually they reach a point where the wall has been knocked down. As the Noble Six approaches the wall, a Trooper is killed by a Wraith's [[Plasma mortar|Plasma Mortar]], dropping his Rocket Launcher. Noble Six promptly destroys the Wraith with a rocket and moves on. The team continues down the hall, and witnesses a trooper being thrown into the wall. A [[Sangheili Major|Sangheili Officer]] steps out but does not notice Noble Team. It immediately takes fire from nearby troops and is assassinated by Noble Six. As the player moves forward, the two UNSC soldiers back off.''

'''Catherine-B320''': "Beautiful."

'''Trooper''': "I owe you one."

''They continue down the hall until they reach a control room with a [[Holotank]] displaying a Covenant Corvette. Blast doors open to reveal a docked Sabre. More Seraphs fly overhead. ''

'''Carter-A259:''' "Six, get to the Sabre before the Covenant wreck it."

''Six moves on, and passes a trooper kicking a dead Sangheili.''

'''Trooper:''' "You want some more!?"

''Noble Six continues, meeting another trooper near the Sabre.''

'''Trooper:''' "Sabre's prepped and ready for launch."

''As the player gets on top of the staircase, a cinematic cutscene begins.''

''Noble Six and Jorge enter the fighter's cockpit. ''

'''Sabre computer''': "Struts disengaged. Commencing launch in T-minus five... four... three... two..."

''The Sabre's rocket engines fire up, and it takes off. The launch sequence is shown from various angles.''

'''Sabre computer''': "First stage, engine burn nominal."

''As the Sabre reaches the planet orbit, the multistage rockets are detached.''

'''Sabre computer''': "Stage separation."

''The Sabre ignites its booster engines and flies toward [[Anchor 9]].''

'''Sabre computer:''' "Second-stage ignition confirmed"

''The Sabre is shown to the starboard side of the [[UNSC frigate]] ''[[UNSC Savannah|Savannah]]'', which is in turn firing on the Covenant corvette ''[[Ardent Prayer]]''. The Sabre engages a squadron of Seraphs escorting the Corvette.''

'''Echo 2''': "Echo 2, good to go."

'''Echo 3''': "Echo 3, systems green"

'''Echo 4''': "Echo 4, all systems online."

'''[[Kristòf Jen]]''': "Solid copy! We are currently jamming the corvette's comms! Hit it hard while they can't call for help!"

'''[[Urban Holland]]''': "Agreed! Sabre teams, clear a path to that corvette!"

==Trivia==
*Later at E3, a longer version of the level was shown, featuring a slightly different opening, a longer take-off cinematic and an extended space combat sequence.<ref name="1up">[http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/30048/bigger '''1up''': ''E3 2010: Halo Reach Stage Video Demo'']</ref>
*The scene of Carter engaging Armor Lock to destroy an incoming Ghost was scripted in the E3 build of the level for presentation purposes, but does not appear in the final game.{{Ref/Reuse|1up}}

*In the final game instead of first being engaged by Sangheili warriors dropped from orbit, Noble Team is first engaged by Unggoy.
