First shown at [[Microsoft]]'s [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3]] 2014 conference, the trailer features a remastered cutscene from the level [[Cairo Station]] from the ''[[Halo 2]]'' campaign. The trailer shows [[John-117]] dragging a [[Covenant]] [[antimatter charge]] through one of the [[hangar bay]]s in ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]'' to "return" the bomb to a {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}. [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] provides a voice-over for the trailer and it is revealed that [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Jameson Locke]] is searching for the Master Chief.

==Transcript==
''Open to [[John-117]] dragging an [[antimatter charge]] across a floor in [[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]].''

''As the charge scratches across the floor, the Master Chief opens a door to enter an [[airlock]]. He looks through a window to view the [[Battle of Earth|space battle]] occurring over [[Earth]]. He opens the airlock door and holds onto a handle and the bomb to prevent being sucked out of the station. He looks down at a [[Covenant]] [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carrier]] and launches himself, with the bomb, from the station.''

*'''[[Thel 'Vadam]]''': "To find him you have to forget the stories, forget the legends."

''Master Chief floats through space, towards Earth. He aims the bomb towards the carrier. Nearby, a {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}} is destroyed by an off-screen vessel while the carrier fires its [[Energy projector|ventral beam]] at the planet's surface.''

*'''Thel 'Vadam''': "You'll have to do more than walk in his footsteps."

''The Spartan continues through the field of debris from the destroyed cruiser. Several [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longswords]] pass nearby.''

*'''Thel 'Vadam''': "For he is more than the sum of his actions."

''The Master Chief nears the assault carrier, as several [[Type-31 Seraph|Seraphs]] fly under it.''

''Cut to [[Jameson Locke]] viewing the Spartan entering the assault carrier with the bomb, as several Longswords fly beyond the ship.''

*'''Thel 'Vadam''': "I tell you this, not because I trust you, Agent Locke..."

''The Master Chief activates the charge and kicks it into the carrier. The entire ship bursts into flames and explodes. The Master Chief covers his visor as the explosion's light blinds him.''

*'''Thel 'Vadam''': "... but because all our lives are at stake."

''Cut back to Locke closing the [[hologram|holographic]] video, with several more still active in the background. He walks towards a window, which it opens and reveals a desert world, [[Sanghelios]],<ref>[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2lk16o_making-of-halo-the-master-chief-collection_videogames?start=13 '''Dailymotion''' - ''Making of Halo The Master Chief Collection (0:14)'']</ref> and turns towards the Arbiter, who is standing at his right. The Arbiter's face reflects in Locke's visor.''

*'''Thel 'Vadam''': "Because the seeds of our future... are sown in his past."

''Cut to a close-up of Master Chief's original Mark VI helmet:''

'''YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS'''

==Trivia==
*Near the end of the trailer, before Locke closes the holographic video, John-117 was shown to activate the charge of the Covenant bomb and kicking it into the carrier. This is a minor discrepancy as in the original ''Halo 2'' cutscene, John-117 activates the Covenant bomb when he floats inside the assault carrier and kicking it to distance himself from the eventual explosion and demise of the assault carrier.
*The other holographic videos were broadcasting several scenes from previous ''Halo'' games that feature the Master Chief:
**John-117 watching the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} entering [[Requiem]], from the ''[[Halo 4]]'' level [[Forerunner (level)|Forerunner]].
**The Master Chief wielding a [[BR55HB battle rifle]], from the ''[[Halo 3]]'' level [[Sierra 117]].
**John-117 in an [[M12 Chaingun Warthog]], from the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' level [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo]].
**The Master Chief looking at a [[Guardian]], from the [[Halo Xbox One announcement trailer]].
*If one clicks on a hidden annotation in the Xbox official youtube video for the trailer, the annotation will send whoever clicked it to a webpage that says that one needs to find three more hidden items, three in total, all being annotations. The annotations can be found at 0:10, 0:18, and at 1:08 in  the video. If all annotations are clicked, a download will appear. The download being various "cover" photos of the Master Chief collection, called "the Four Horsemen", for Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and regular wallpaper use.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPGPiSpTw4w '''Xbox Official Youtube''': Master Chief Collection Trailer]</ref>
