Red vs. Blue Halo: Reach PSA: Deja View is a public service announcement video created by Rooster Teeth Productions with guidance from Bungie, used to promote the Halo: Reach remake of the classic Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer map Blood Gulch. In it, the Red vs. Blue characters of Red Team showcase the main features of the map, a new armor ability; the Holograph, and shows a small glimpse of the immensely large playable area outside the confines of the main canyon.

Transcript

The Rooster Teeth logo is displayed on the screen, and the screen fades into a view of the Red base in Template:Levelname, where Sarge addresses Grif and Simmons.

• Sarge: "Men, I've got a big announcement from Command."

• Grif: "Oh great, I'm sure this is going to work out well for us. Let me guess Sarge, they discovered a revolutionary new way for us to scrub toilets?"

• Sarge: "Nope, we're going home."

• Simmons: "What?"

• Grif: "What?!"

• Sarge: "Just got the message from Command, we all get to go home."

• Grif: "Are you sure Sarge? Because if you're lying to me, that would be a really cruel trick, I mean even for you. And you're kind of a dick... sir."

• Sarge: "'Got our orders right here. They read: 'Congratulations STOP You are all going home STOP Transports are en-route STOP Thank you for your service STOP This message will now stop STOP."

• Simmons: "Did they send the message via telegram?"

• Grif: "Who cares Simmons? We're going home! The war is over!"

• Simmons: "It is?"

• Grif: "Yes! Didn't you hear the message?"

• Simmons: "Yeah, I did. Did you? Because it didn't say anything ab-"

A Hornet lands nearby.

• Grif: "There's the first transport, shotgun!"

Grif runs over to the Hornet and addresses the pilot.

• Grif: "Are you here to take us home?"

• Pilot: "Huh? Yeah, whatever, hop on."

Grif gets onto the side of the Hornet.

• Grif: "I'm so excited!"

• Pilot: "I don't care."

• Simmons: (Sighs) "Grif, I guess this is it, we'll never see each other again."

The Hornet takes off.

• Grif: "I know! Isn't it great?!"

The Hornet flies over the middles of the canyon, where Blue Team members Church, Caboose and Tucker stand looking at the Hornet.

• Caboose: "Goodbye yellow guy! We hate you!"

The Blues open fire on the Hornet.

• Grif: (Throws a grenade) "Goodbye guys, I hate you too!"

• Caboose: "Aw, he's just saying that to be nice."

The grenade detonates in the center of the Blue Team members. Cut to black. The scene switches to the Hornet, now a Falcon, which lands in a grassy area. Grif hops out.

• Grif: "Thanks for the lift soldier!"

• Pilot: "Get away from the cockpit, jackass."

• Grif: "No problem bud. Why'd we stop here? What is this, some kind of way station?"

• Pilot: "Yeah, something like that. Bitch."

The Falcon takes off, revealing Simmons standing there.

• Grif: (To the Falcon) "So, where do I catch the transport home?! Hey, come back!"

• Simmons: "Grif, you made it."

• Grif: "Simmons? What are you doing here?"

• Simmons: "This is our new base."

• Grif: "New base? I though we were going home!"

Sarge emerges from the nearby Red base.

• Sarge: "That's right Grif! Look, we're home!"

• Grif: "What?"

• Simmons: "Look! We got back our old canyon!"

The camera shows a full view of Blood Gulch, with the Falcon leaving its boundaries.

• Sarge: "Isn't it perfect?!"

• Simmons: "What do you think Grif? Grif?"

Grif tries to speak, but stutters several times.

• Sarge: "Look, he's speechless!"

Grif begins to cry loudly.

• Simmons: "Now he's crying with joy."

• Sarge: "Okay, well that's taking it a bit far. Unbridled emotions are unbecoming of a soldier. I can handle emotion, but I won't stand the unbridledness!"

Grif suddenly activates his Armor Lock. It remains active for several seconds, then deactivates.

• Grif: "What was that?"

• Simmons: "That was your Armor Lock. We got more than just a new base, we got new armor and equipment too."

• Sarge: "I even discovered a new way to greet people."

Sarge runs behind Grif, grabs his shoulder and turns him around. Sarge raises a Combat Knife and stabs Grif through the mouth. Grif falls to the ground.

• Grif: "Agh... ow... my mouth!"

• Sarge: "Hello, and welcome to our new home, dirtbag!"

• Simmons: "Come on, let me give you a tour."

• Sarge: (Chuckles) "Grif must feel right at home, he's already lying down on the job."

Simmons walks over to two Warthogs, both sporting different turrets; gauss and rocket.

• Simmons: "See, we got all new vehicles."

Grif walks over.

• Grif: "Dibs on the rocket one!"

Grif and Simmons walk up the ledge on the mountain near Red Base

• Simmons: And the cliff is back
• Grif: Ahh too high.

Switches to on top of Red Base

• Simmons: And here's the tele...(goes through the teleporter and shouts)...PORTER.
• Grif: That'll save time on my commutes.

Grif and Simmons walk infront of the entrance to the cave near Red Base

• Simmons: And look, there's the caves!
• Grif: Spooky. Yet very faithful.

They walk to the hole in the wall near the caves by Blue Base

• Simmons: And here's the little nook. A don't really know what that's for.
• Grif: You can put stuff in it

Walks to a tree near the caves

• Simmons: Check it out! There's the tree where we carved our initials.
• Grif: I don't think that was me dude.

Standing in the middle of the canyon near Red Base

• Simmons: And look, grass!
• Grif: Everything seems greener than I remember
• Simmons: I think I might have left the sprinklers on when we left.
• Grif: That was like three years ago dude.
• Simmons: Yeah Sarge is gonna be pissed when he sees the water bill.

Inside the cave near Red Base

• Simmons: And there's the caves.
• Grif: You said caves twice.
• Simmons: Yeah I really like the caves!

Grif and Simmons then move to the middle of the canyon near Blue Base

• Simmons: The point is, it's all here. And just wait till you see what's outside the canyon!
• Grif: Outside the canyon? (A sniper bullet zings past their heads)
• Simmons: Uh oh!
• Grif: Yikes!
• Simmons: Oh yeah, the Blues are here too.

Switches to show Church and Caboose on top of Blue Base with Church holding a Sniper Rifle

• Caboose: You missed him!
• Church: (Annoyed) I know! (Fires again)
• Caboose: Hit a rock that time!
• Church: (Angry) I know!

Switches back to Grif and Simmons

• Grif: Should I use my Armor Lock thing?
• Simmons: No check this out! (Creates a holograph image of himself) Look what I got! It's a hologram. Pretty cool huh?

The holograph stops and Church snipes it in the head

• Church: I GOT HIM! (snipes him again but it fades away)
• Church: Oh dammit. I hate that thing. (Reloads)

Church shoots at Grif and Simmons but the bullet misses

• Grif: Wow that's pretty cool.

Simmons makes another hologram

• Simmons: And the best part is, now I have someone to talk to
• Holo-Simmons: We have all the same intrests. For instance: I like obscure comic books and number theories.
• Simmons: Oh man those things are the best.
• Grif: Suddenly it's not as cool as it was ten seconds ago.
• Simmons: And another great thing is that the Holo-Simmons is available whenever I need him. The only problem is that the manual say that if I play with him too much, I can go blind. I don't think that's true though.
• Holo-Simmons: Yeah! Wait...I thought you were the Holo-Simmons!
• Simmons: No I'm the real one.
• Holo-Simmons: You are?! But I have so many memories. My first kiss, graduation, my wife and kids. It has to be real! It has to be! What does my life meaaaaan? (Fades away)
• Simmons: Yeah I forgot to mention, they become self-aware after a few minutes.
• Grif: That was kinda creepy.
• Simmons: Yeah...we should let Bungie know about that!
• Grif: Sounds like he had a better fake life than your real one
• Simmons: (Annoyed) I don't wanna talk about it

Switches to Blue Base where Sarge jet packs out of Blue Base with a flag in hands

• Sarge: Ha! See ya suckers.
• Church: Get him! (Fires Sniper rounds at him, cleary missing) He went that way! He's got our flag!

Switches back to Grif and Simmons

• Simmons: And look, Sarge got a jet pack.

Goes to a shot of Caboose entering a Banshee

• Caboose: I'll get him! (Enters Banshee)

Switches back to Grif and Simmons with Sarge hovering over them with Caboose in persuit

• Sarge: Haha Red Team.
• Grif: Where's he going?
• Simmons: Maybe he's taking the long way back to base!

Shows an image of Sarge staning ontop of the mountain wall surronding the canyon with Caboose flying the Banshess in the background. The flag shows the words Bungie written across it

• Grif: Hey Simmons! When you said, "outside the canyon" before, what exactly did you mean?
• Simmons: This place is a little...bigger now.
• Grif: Big? How big?
• Simmons: Oh don't worry Grif, you'll see! You'll see!
• Sarge: Now that's what I call a view. Where the heck did I park? This place is huge! No way we're gonna trash this lot.

Screen fades to a black with the words Halo: Reach 9.14.10 showing

An Eagle screeches at Sarge

• Sarge: Get out of here you stupid Eagle! Find your own enormous map

Eagle screeches again

• Sarge: I understand that I'm very high up, you don't need to beat me over the head with it!
