At [[E3 2000]] an early trailer for [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] was shown. It depicted events not in the final game. | At [[E3 2000]] an early trailer for [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] was shown. It depicted events not in the final game. | ||
Some [[Elites]] are depicted on patrol, and are sniped by the [[Master Chief]] who has a different and more robotic voice. He then claims that a landing zone is clear, and a [[Pelican]] dropship flies in, putting down [[Marines]] and a [[Warthog]]. They split into two teams, headed for the same destination. As they travel across Halo, they encounter native wildlife not in the final game, resembling [[Halo Dinosaurs|Dinosaurs]]. They take out a [[Wraith|Covenant Wraith]] and proceed into an underground chamber where they are soon ambushed and massacred by more Elites, the only [[Covenant]] alien featured in the Trailer. One Elite in Particular is depicted wielding an energy sword in one hand and a large [[Energy Shields|Energy Shield]] on his other arm. It is possible that it was shrunken and transferred over to the [[Jackals]] in the Final game. Near the end of a trailer a Marine detonates a grenade to take out some enemies before they can murder him. An early version of the [[Spectre]] is also seen in the background. | Some [[Elites]] are depicted on patrol, and are sniped by the [[Master Chief]] who has a different and more robotic voice.

Sound effects for the weapons differ, as do the visual effects used during their firing. They make longer laser-like streaks and noises instead of the short plasma blasts. | Sound effects for the [[weapons]] differ, as do the visual effects used during their firing.

There is an early version of what appears to be the Spectre. It seemingly was meant to be in the game also, but didn't make the cut until Halo 2 came out, where it went through better development. This is probably where the [[Shade]] turret came from, as there is one planted on top of the Spectre. | There is an early version of what appears to be the Spectre.

Master Chief uses an Energy Sword, which he isn't able to do until Halo 2, he has a different voice, and a radio antenna on his shoulder. When he is hit by enemy fire, his shields flicker blue instead of yellow. | The Master Chief uses an Energy Sword, which he isn't able to do until Halo 2, he has a different voice, and a radio antenna on his shoulder.
