==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
The trailer starts out with the words: "The most lethal force in the universe", and the screen flashes to a shot of several [[Sangheili|Elites]]. Then it continues: "Has destroyed everything in its path". It flashes a shot of a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] landing and a shot of a [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]] taking fire from a [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]]. It goes on to say: "On November 9th, What's in its path… is us." and the screen fades to a shot of the [[Earth]]. That shot vanishes.

A Pelican roars overhead, followed by a ghost being chased by a Phantom. The [[John-117|Master Chief]] is shown standing on a roadway, watching [[orbital insertion pod]]s descend on [[New Mombasa]]. The writing then reappears and says: "We're not ready," and switches to the Master Chief cocking a [[Battle rifle|Battle Rifle]], a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] engaging [[Type-29 Shadow]]s and some shots of [[multiplayer]] gameplay before more writing appears, reading: "He is".

The camera changes and shows some wreckage. It pans up to show the Chief standing atop a chunk of debris, wielding a pair of [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|SMGs]]. Several Phantoms fly over him. The Master Chief looks into the camera and jumps. The screen flashes to the Halo 2 logo with an orange clouded background, followed by a voice that says: "Rated M for mature."
