The '''''Halo 2'' theatrical trailer''' screened in movie theaters across the [[United States of America|United States]] in October [[2004 (real world)|2004]]. The trailer consisted mostly of shots from the [[Halo 2 E3 demo|E3 2003 demo]] and the [[Halo 2 E3 Multiplayer Demo|E3 2004 Multiplayer Demo]].<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/Games/Halo2/page.aspx?section=AudioVideo&subsection=GameVideos&page=1 Halo 2 Audio/Video] ''([https://web.archive.org/web/20070312171720/https://www.bungie.net/Games/Halo2/page.aspx?section=AudioVideo&subsection=GameVideos&page=1 Archive])''</ref> | |||
==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 [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghost]] taking fire from a [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|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 [[BR55 battle rifle|Battle Rifle]], a [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]] engaging {{Pattern|Ruwaa|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 SMG|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." | |||
At the end the Xbox logo and website appear as normal until the website URL changes for a split second to [[i love bees|ilovebees.com]]. | |||
==Production notes== | |||
The high-resolution model of Earth was reused several years later in the backdrop for [[Nassau Station]], one of many ''Halo'' universe elements included in the fighting game ''[[Wikipedia:Dead or Alive 4|Dead or Alive 4]]''.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=7349 Building a Spartan] ([[Frank O'Connor]]: ''"Luckily, we had made a very high resolution future Earth for one of our ad campaigns. Funny how stuff like that suddenly becomes hard to find when you really need it."'')</ref> | |||
