| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *Contributors at [[halo.bungie.org|HBO]] have noted that the final image of [[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]] staring at a crashed Covenant vessel resembles [http://halo.bungie.org/images/saying_hello_to_the_past.jpg ''Crashed''], a piece of artwork from ''[[Marathon|Marathon 2: Durandal]]'' that was drawn by [[Craig Mullins]]. | | *At approximately 41 seconds, [[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]] is seen holding a pair of [[dog tag]]s, possibly belonging to a teammate or someone else related to the SPARTAN program. |
| *A shorter, forty second long version of this trailer has been made as a television commercial, which features some alternate footage.<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/showcases/halo-reach?sid=6272280&overridePid=960512 Television commercial on Gamespot.com]</ref>
| | *The trailer's length, 1:06, is possibly a [[List of "Seven" References in Halo|reference]] to [[Bungie]]'s love of the number 7, because 1+6=7. |
| *At approximately thirty seconds, the chainguns on the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthogs]] are firing; however, their barrels are not spinning.
| | *Contributors at [[Halo.bungie.org|HBO]] have noted that the final image of Noble Six staring at a crashed Covenant[[assault carrier| Assault Carrier]] resembles [http://halo.bungie.org/images/saying_hello_to_the_past.jpg ''Crashed''], a piece of artwork from ''[[Marathon (Video Game Series)|Marathon 2: Durandal]]'', made by [[Craig Mullins]]. |
| *The song played in the trailer shares its name with the traile itself. It is played in the ''Halo: Reach'' campaign level [[Noble Actual]], and appears in the [[Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack|soundtrack]] as the first song of [[Winter Contingency (music)|Winter Contingency]].
