Rather than announcing a particular title in the manner of a conventional teaser, the trailer was intended to showcase the future direction of the ''Halo'' franchise in a broader sense, in particular the "journey" the Master Chief would undertake. Thus many of the elements in the trailer are most likely more symbolic or general as opposed to being directly representative of this particular game.<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/25/microsoft-on-halo-5-halo-2-anniversary  '''IGN''' ''Microsoft on Halo 5, Halo 2 Anniversary'']</ref><ref name="H5"/>
