Am I watching wrong?
Or is the New Trailer, featuring the in-pod view of the landing, different from that in the old one?
In the original the pod lands in a building, Rookie gets out and is hiding from some brutes, in the new trailer, he lands in a big open plaza.

Thanks for choosing to whine over being a productive member of the community and possible element towards advancing Reach.

Teaser trailers (the first trailer to come out) should never be taken seriously and the only thing you need to take from it is that the game is being made.

And it terms for gameplay it makes sense to have the pod land on the edge of a building, so this way it can easily show the new health system with out being ambushed by Covenant.

Things change, Compare Halo 3's Old E3 trailer to the newer one.

People keep telling me to get a life... I am getting an education, I have a lovely girlfriend and alot of friends... I thought this was having a life? Gues I was wrong...

You forgot the fact, that in the first trailer the pod with the Rookie in it were going away from the carrier, while in the new one, they go towards it. It was just to get peoples attention, dont let it worry you :)

Teaser trailers are not cannon. Remember the Halo 3 teaser with the Chief rushing a pack of Brutes and Wraiths after dropping a bubble shield? Never happened, only meant to build hype for the game.

Go Rams and Missouri!

Remember the Halo 3 announcement trailer where the Chief watches the Ark get activated.

Yeah, that never happened. Trailers mean nothing.

Trailers mean nothing. In the Halo 3 debut Trailer, Master Chieft walks among the ruins of the Elevator to find the Ark opening, that didn't exactly happen in the actual game now did it?

Is it possible that the first ODST trailer showed the perspective of a diff ODST and not 'The Rookie' shown in the gameplay trailer?

No, it happened completely differently. In the teaser, Master Chief walks through all of this smoke and those rib thingies before watching banshees and Covenant ships overhead while the Ark activated.

In Halo 3, Master Chief and the Arbiter destroy an anti-air gun, and there is an attack on the Ark by UNSC ships, and then the Ark is activated. And while this happens, Master Chief and Arbiter take cover behind rocks.
