Okay here are some ideas for Halo 2 commercials that I have come up with. Here are two of them.

____________________________________________________________
The screen starts out black.

[Voice begins to speak, preferably a female.....Cortana perhaps and solemn music kicks in]

" For thirty years man kind has been at war. "

[screen fades in showing brief battles on the ground and in space]

" For those thirty they have lost this war. Men and women have died valiantly. Our colonies burnt asunder. "

[screen fades to black and then to a shot of Earth]

" They are here, at the start of our species. "

[Screen transfers to the Chief]

" You have succeeded against this enemy before. "

[shows Earth in peril, ie Geting glassed like in the announcement trailer.]

" Now do it once more. Fail and all is lost. "

[Halo 2 logo comes onto screen and the commercial ends]

_______________________________________________________
This is my poor attempt at humor.


[We see a home inside some city. The western part of the city to be exact We go inside this home and it is obvious it is breakfeast time. A kid runs over grabs some toast and runs around his mother happy as can be. He looks out the window. The camera is looking down on him]

[little boy] " Mommy mommy the sun rises in the west. "

[camera on mother]

[mom] " No dear it rises in the East. It sets in the West. "

[camera on little boy pointing out the window while looking back at his mom]

[boy] " But mommy look! It rising in West! "

[camera folllows mother as she walks over to correct her child]

[mom] " Look you see, [camera shanges to see her face as she says next line] it rises in the....[trails off]

[camera shows behind the pair and out the window. The sky is on fire and it looks like a massive sun is rising in the west]

[Mother grabs child and they rush outside. Camera shifts to a bird's eye view on the pair as they run out doors. A low thrum is heard and several shadows race across the ground. A siren is heard and the two look up. Camera does a fast zoom out. We see covie dropships, fighters, and then a Covenant cruiser pass by underneath the camera. We go through the clouds and see Earth in peril. Halo 2 logo then takes the screen]

_____________________________________________________________ _
So what do you guys think? Any other ones that might work or are funny?

Yeah, but why is it that no one finds my " Why is the sun rising in the West? " not funny? I think it is hilarious. Think about it. It is a sun of fire that is rising and about to wipe out mankind. THINK OF THE CARNAGE PEOPLE!!!!.....

the first 1 was ok but it has to end with it zooming in on MC and then the voice says "you can chage this" then showing like a ton of in gameplay shots then a dropship slowly plumiting into a building and the building's side breaking off as it plummits right on a enemy squad

Very nice. My favorite is the second one, but I think that would fit better as a cinematic in the actual game.

My commercial idea:

*start commercial*
*a rock music variant of the halo theme plays*
*picture of earth being attacked*
*lots of pictures and clips of halo 2 flash by really fast (including many with explosions)*
*halo 2 logo*
*the logo is slashed from the inside (as if it were a wall) by a plasma sword and an elite busts down the "wall"*
*the elite runs offscreen and theres a big plasma explosion*
*fade to black*
*end commercial*

I like this one but out of the explosion MC should come and fire a rocket at the screen

*Screen starts out with a single Covenant cruiser with earth in the background. An elite's voice is heard*

You're destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument.

*shot slowly pans to include 2 more ships, then 5, then 20, and keeps panning until there are hundreds of ships of various sizes heading towards Earth. Text flashes on screen.*

Save the Human race... In Progress

*camera moves quickly to show the Human fleet around Earth, they engage the Covenant. explosions, MAC rounds, plasma torpedoes, longswords, and many other fighters are seen engaging*

*Screen goes black. Halo 2 Logo is seen.*

*XBL announcer voice is heard.*

On November 9, it'll be fun to save earth together.

as to the ending of the commercial with the exploding elite, it should be athe MC running over the "camera" in a Warthog.

*Screen starts out with the chief in a newly-rendered longsword, and upgraded Mark V armor at the end of Halo*

No, I think it's just getting started.

*Halo music. Chief's voice.*

Bred for war. Built for destruction. I want no glory. I claim no fame. There's only one thing I'm after.

*clip of Halo exploding*

It isn't revenge.

*clip of the keyes blob, with chief punching into it*

I'm not doing this out of sorrow. It's my mission.

*flashing text*

Save the human race...In Progress

*Chief jumps out of the ship from the announcement trailer. Cortana's voice.*

I always was the more rational one.

*halo 2 logo, November 9th under it.*

Ok it's good. But wtf is with the mother son and sun thing? And the master cheif story at the beginning was a little deep you need to show the kool visual affects of the upcoming legend of a game. the first story is a little deep and sad..really not good for advertising with but you can make it a Demo you usually show in the beggining of the game

WTF on the mother son thing......It was just an idea I had. Originally I had a similar thing inside a fan fiction of my mine. It originally was supposed to be a nice teenage couple atop some buildings watching the sun set....well they looked to the East and saw another sun rising and blah blah blah. I basically made it a bit different, for TV purposes.

Mother son thing isn't a bad idea. It makes the fact that if earth was attacked, ti would blow our mind and scare the crap out of us. You could add a close up of MC and some cool game footage for all those posts saying the commercial definitely needs that. But I like your first suggestion better.

*Sergeant Johnson is flying a pelican with the MC beside him quietly.*

Neah *Johnson's version of now* look here. On November 9th the baddest assed game this side of the Mekong Delta is coming out. That game, that's Halo 2. Now I don't care if you think it's a giant hoola hoop, or god's own anti-son-of-a--blam!- machine, but you better get this game! Do you understand me soldier!? Uh huh. Damn right you do. Now do your chores or something before your mom realizes I cussed on the commercial.

*chief turns to look at him*

Can you actually fly this thing?

Johnson: of course not, it's a commercial. A marketing thing you know. I don't actually have to know how to...*commercial ends with the pelican trailing off into the sunset.^

I don't know about you guys, but I have always found that the games that have to advertise on TV are always the worst games...I don't know why.
