Patrol
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Patrol is a live-action advertisement video for Halo: Reach, part of the Remember Reach advertising campaign. In the short, three UNSC troopers from 3 Charlie are on patrol, discussing a recent confrontation Noble Team had with insurrectionists, before being sent to investigate a disturbance in the Comm Relay Hub in Visegrad.[1]
Transcript
Three UNSC infantrymen stand guard at night in a snowy landscape. An APC is seen on the foreground.
- Trooper #1: Heard Noble Team had an interesting morning.
- Trooper #2: Yeah, they surprised a couple of SCIs trying to hijack a supply transport. Innies never even saw them.
- Trooper #1: Insurgents vs. Spartans? That's not even a fight.
- Trooper #2: Well that's probably why-
- Operator (radio): 3 Charlie. Come in.
- Trooper #1: 3 Charlie. Copy.
- Operator (radio): Prep your team for immediate mobilization to Visegrad. We've lost contact with the Comm Relay Hub. Possible insurrectionist activity.
- Trooper #1: Roger. We're on the way. 3 Charlie, out.
Trooper #2 grabs his duffel bag from the ground
- Trooper #3: It's not enough we fight the Covenant. We have to come back down here and get attacked by our own people as well.
The soldiers check their weapons
- Trooper #1: That's the job. And you can bet there will be more fires to put out tomorrow... so stay focused. Let's move.
The troopers start walking toward the APC.

Trivia
- This trailer is 1:17 long, another reference to Bungie's love of the number seven (1x1x7=7, as well as the length, which is 77 seconds). It is also be a reference to John-117's Spartan tag.
- The troopers in the video are wearing current USMC MARPAT digital woodland uniforms under their armor.
- The troopers are wielding MA5C rifles rather than the MA37 rifles typically used by the Army. This is for real-life cost reasons, as prop MA5Cs had been built for previous marketing campaigns.
