"It is done. By my hands. The pyrrhic solution is ignited. All I have left is the quiet of space to lull me to sleep.
I will dream of you." - The Didact

John's neurons begin to fire.

Cortana (which doesn't sound like she's being voiced by Jen Taylor) says: "Wake up!"
"John, wake up!"
"I need you!"

John's heart begins pumping to an alarming rate.

"Please!" or "Chief!" (it's hard to tell)

Electrical signals pass through John's central nervous system.

"Wake up, John!"

John, gains consciousness and bursts out from the cryo-chamber.

Here you can see that John's metallic gauntlets are missing, and even his cod piece is missing.

"Chief! ... John!"

John says, "I'm here"

Being that the CG animators could provide an unparalleled level of detail compared to an in-game engine, John's armor looks different. Note that this is *NOT* Mk.7 armor. Where would he get Mjolnir Mk.7? This is the same as the difference between Mk.6 in Halo 2 and Halo 3.

Hard transfer of Cortana from Forward Unto Dawn to John's AI slot.

John jets off down a corridor in the aft remains of the frigate.

I've always though that the two humps on the back of the Mjolnir armor were to house the miniature cold fusion reactors, but according to the teaser trailer, they house the jet propulsion system noted in the Halo books. These most likely were not shown in-game to balance gameplay.

As John's dodges debris and jets down this corridor he picks up a compact grenade launcher, blows through a wall or debris and catches himself on a support beam. He then stares in awe at what *appears* to be a Shield Installation left over from the Forerunner-Flood war.

I'd say Onyx for sure, reacting to the ships presence, and opens up.

Onyx was destroyed in 2552. Read Ghosts of Onyx

But who says that there's only one Shield Installation ;)

If you think you're the best fluffy, gun shootin', Brute pwning guy around, you are sadly mistaken... Fear the dreaded "mew"!

...AND Onyx was made up of a bunch of Sentinels. This guy is a major noob.

The majority of Onyx was indeed made up of interlinked Sentinels, however, there are other non-sentinel-formed structures. For example, under Zone 67, humanity found the ruins of a vast Forerunner city. More detail can be found here

And the Shield Installation in Halo Wars differs GREATLY from how Halo: Ghosts of Onyx describes Onyx

Time for them to move on. They legally can't either. The torch has been passed on to 343 Industries, a subsidiary of Microsoft Games.

Maybe not. Looks like they only locked the ones that got off topic or about gameplay.

The oddest thing though, is that this "planet" in the trailer, doesn't appear to be terraformed on the surface. Onyx was terraformed, and even Halo Wars' version of a Shield World was terraformed.
