</div>The '''Halo 2 "Announcement Trailer"''' gave a basic summary of the upcoming Halo 2 game and that namely the [[Battle of Earth|Covenant had arrived and attacked Earth]]. This video was recycled by Bungie for use in the Halo 2 cutscene [[Halo 2 Cinematic Cutscenes|Return to Sender]]. | |||
At E3, a trailer was shown announcing the development of [[Halo 2]]. It depicts [[Master Chief]] walking through a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC Gun Orbital]], before jumping out an airlock to ride a [[Covenant]] ship down to [[Earth]]. The cinematic following the level [[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]] is an evolution of this. | |||
==Transcript== | ==Transcript== | ||
Computer text appears on the screen: | |||
'':MISSION HISTORY''<br /> | ''<nowiki>:</nowiki>MISSION HISTORY''<br /> | ||
''> LOADING'' | ''> LOADING'' | ||
Cut to Master Chief walking through a doorway, walking towards the camera. Various static messages are heard over the radio. | |||
'''Pilot:''' "Sir! They just folded in, inside our formation!" | |||
'''Admiral:''' "Son, I need you to calm down." | |||
'''Pilot:''' "...look, additional contacts - moving to engage ''(static)''" | |||
'''Admiral:''' "''(static)'' ...and get your picket back to rally point Alpha." | |||
A rack of [[Battle Rifle]]s automatically extends as Master Chief approaches; he takes one. Again the screen appears: | |||
'':EXPLORE [[Installation 04|DERELICT RING HABITAT]]''<br /> | ''<nowiki>:</nowiki>EXPLORE [[Installation 04|DERELICT RING HABITAT]]''<br /> | ||
''>COMPLETE'' | ''>COMPLETE'' | ||
Cut to the rack closing. Master Chief walks away from the camera into an elevator, and the doors close. | |||
'''General:''' "Admiral, you can't let them maintain orbit." | |||
'''Admiral:''' "I'm trying, General, but we've lost advantage within the lunar perimeter." | |||
Again we see the screen: | |||
'':DESTROY [[Fleet of Particular Justice|HOSTILE GROUND FORCES]]''<br /> | ''<nowiki>:</nowiki>DESTROY [[Fleet of Particular Justice|HOSTILE GROUND FORCES]]''<br /> | ||
''>COMPLETE'' | ''>COMPLETE'' | ||
'''Admiral:''' "My [[UNSC Frigate|frigates]] are combat ineffective, and the [[Longsword|fighters]]... they don't have enough punch to take out a [[Assault Carrier|Covenant assault carrier]]." | |||
'''General:''' "Your pilots let up, and down here its the goddamn apocalypse!" | |||
We watch the elevator speed down its shaft. Cut to the inside: Master Chief prepares his rifle. Again, the screen: | |||
'':NEUTRALIZE [[ | ''<nowiki>:</nowiki>NEUTRALIZE [[Flood|ADAPTIVE PARASITIC LIFEFORM]]''<br /> | ||
''>COMPLETE'' | ''>COMPLETE'' | ||
'''General:''' "I'm asking you to retarget the [[Orbital Defense Platform|orbitals]]!" | |||
'' | '''Admiral:''' "And let more of them slip the kill zone? That's insanity! There's nothing more I can do!" | ||
'':OUTWIT [[343 Guilty Spark|ANCIENT A.I. CONSTRUCT]]''<br /> | The elevator door opens, and Master Chief steps out into a chamber. Again: | ||
[[Image:Chief_5.jpg|150px|right]] | |||
''<nowiki>:</nowiki>OUTWIT [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|ANCIENT A.I. CONSTRUCT]]''<br /> | |||
''>COMPLETE'' | ''>COMPLETE'' | ||
Master Chief walks farther into the chamber, toward the camera. | |||
'''Pilot:''' "The core defense is too intense. Our grid is maxed, I don't think we can last another run!" | |||
'''Cortana:''' "Admiral, tell your men to hold their positions. Reinforcements are on the spoke." | |||
'''Admiral:''' "The [[UNSC Home Fleet|entire fleet]] is engaged, Cortana. With respect, what the hell sort of reinforcement have you ''got''?" | |||
Master Chief stops, and the camera turns to show Earth through an airlock window, [[Glassing|various large explosions visible on its surface]]. Once more, we see the screen: | |||
'':STOP DESTRUCTION OF HUMAN RACE''<br /> | ''<nowiki>:</nowiki>STOP DESTRUCTION OF HUMAN RACE''<br /> | ||
(flashing)''>IN PROGRESS'' | (flashing)''>IN PROGRESS'' | ||
'''Tech:''' "It's passing below your position, ma'am. Proximity zero." | |||
Master Chief opens a compartment and prepares to pull a lever. | |||
[[Image:Chief Falling.jpg|150px|right]] | |||
'''Cortana:''' "What if you miss?" | |||
'''Master Chief:''' "I won't." ''(pulls)'' | |||
The airlock doors open, causing air to be blown out. Master Chief rests against a pillar for a moment, and then flies out, shooting towards the camera. Fade to black, and fade in to Master Chief falling towards Earth, huge explosions evident on North America. A Covenant ship passes, allowing Master Chief to land on it. Fade to black. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* The original part of this is retained but changed. Instead of setting himself down to Earth as a "reinforcement" he in the final version is "giving" the Covenant back their bomb and destroys a Covenant carrier. | |||
* In the original announcment Master Chief is over North America.Where in the game version they are on top of Africa. | |||
* | |||
* The cinematic takes place in [[Cairo Station]]. | |||
