Hmm...I thought the annoncement trailer from that start to where he jumps out of the ship then it fades to black would be a good if a tad long commerical.

*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 like this one the most, it's funny, and didn't the sarge also apear in a commercial for the origional halo, or was that an announcement trailer?(where he shot the grunt in the back)

The pelican should crash though and debries should fling towards the camera and amongst it the halo 2 logo that slams in to the screen. Everything fades but the blue neon glowing logo.

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.

Halo did just fine and it was advertised on TV. So did Silent Hill 2. Both were advertised and kicked ass.

I like this one the most, it's funny, and didn't the sarge also apear in a commercial for the origional halo, or was that an announcement trailer?(where he shot the grunt in the back)

That was at the Halo launch party.

heres my idea:

*camera starts off with a birds eye view of an abandoned city*
*the camera zooms in on a small pack of grunts (5) slowly walking down the main street*
*the camera zooms in on the lead grunt...music starts playing.*
*a shot takes out 1 grunt...then another...another...until the lead grunt is the only one still alive*
*the camera then zooms in on MC on top of a building with the sniper rifle...then he fires a shot.....you hear the distant scream of the grunt*

the HALO 2 logo appears....and you hear MC say: "god thats fun" or something like that.....

No, that won't work, MC doesn't have emotions like that. That sounds more like something Cortana would say.

I loved the one with Sgt. Johnson and MC in the Pelican.

*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.


yea this ones good, but total dumb asses will think its another outspace ship to ship fighting game not and FPS

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


No, the MC ahould walk calmly (like he is the man or something) from the fire with duel SMG's

ahah i like the one with sarge and the pelican. but it reminds me more of sarge from Red vs Blue. Now, if they made an advertisement for H2 with RvB characters, that would be great.

Here's your's but with a few changes :P
*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*
*flames burst from nowhere*
*(blurr effect) the MC walks through the flames carrying duel SMG's calmly*
*fade to black*
*Halo 2 logo appears with H2 theme song, 2 seconds after the red clouds appear (as in the E3 MP demo)*
*end commercial*

They should advertise Halo 2 in theatres, like Nintendo did with Metroid Prime. That would be the smartest thing to do

I'm sorry but I get this comical idea everytime I hear about the plasma sword etching out the Halo 2 logo.

Here is a new one, very similar to my others.

[black screen]
[dramatic, space themed music kicks in. Lots of the good ol gregorian chant stuff]
[fade from black to space]
[camera pans down]
[we see Earth's defenses. Dozens of ships and super MACs]

[voice kick in, Cortana's]

" Mankind is in a war of extinction. "

[fade out and fade back in on space]
[we see the Covenant fleet exiting from slipspace]

" Our forces have fought the enemy for three decades and have lost. "

[show ground combat with people dying and lots of fighitng, Chief is not seen anywhere]

" They have slaughtered billions in the name of their gods. "

[show Earth under attack from orbit]

" Now they are here. If we fail, then their objective has been completed. "

[show Chief being dropped off on Earth inside a dropship]

" It is now up to you to stop this as you have once before. "

[fade out and Halo 2 logo comes in]

I love that last sentence, they really should impliment that into the commercial. Great job everyone all of these commercials are great

*A view of somebody holding a home camera while running, it is jumpy and hard to see, but the loudness of screaming and gun fire gives you an idea of a warzone.

Camera stops , still a little shaky and blurry, but a wide view from outside the city of the destruction is shown, as soldiers run towards the city.

A huge explosion occurs as a human ship is destroyed and falls to the ground.

As the smoke clears, Master-Chief steps onto screen, his back only visible. Fades out to the Halo 2 logo.*

ok. so some guys are getting drunk in a pub with some kangaroos, then WAM. 20 elites rush and start shooting everything. then a bunch a ODSTs burst through the ceiling screaming "die mother @#!$&@". but since the guys that a drunk are too drunk to know there in danger, they start kicking the grunts in the balls cuz they think there midget folk

My Idea:

*Fades from black showing Sargent Johnson infront of a huge battle*

Johnson: What are you waiting for sholdier? IF you want to join this battle and save earth by Halo 2 on November 9th and become a legend.

*Camer Pans out showing a huge batle*

*Halo 2 Logo Fades in Master Cheif bursts through the logo on a ATV with a SMG going full blast and runs over the camera*

What ever the commercial is, it has to be serious and make the person actually feel like they need to protect Earth from the covenant. All of these commercials are really good ideas. At the end there should just be like a 6 second clip of gameplay but with a cool cinematic action going on through it. Like the E3 2003 trailer where the longsword fighters bombed that Covy Cannon, (except 100 times more exciting and cool). Then that shows that Halo 2 isn't just movies but superb gameplay. Which is something you never see in video game commercials today. Then again, Halo 2 will be different then any other game in history.

(Aerial footage of a city, showing covenant dropships and transports landing across the land.)
(Change to footage of a squad of marines, pinned down by covenant fire, at a street corner.)
Marine #1: Aw, man, what're we gonna do now, huh?
Marine #2: I dunno...anybody wanna play top trumps?
Sargeant: MEN! You do realise that we are fighting for the survival of the ENTIRE HUMAN RACE HERE?
Marine #3: Yeah, but, you know....we're pinned down pretty bad here sarge....
(Camera to an expolsion in a nearby building...flying out of the window comes the Master Chief, landing on his back on top of a bus. The roof crumples around him)
Marine #2: Theres always a showoff, huh?
(MC jumps from the bus roof and runs for cover by the sarge)
MC: Whats the situation here sargeant?
Sarge: Hey Chief, nice timing- we're pinned down bad and need some backup
MC: I'd be glad to help.
Sarge: Lets do this men!
(Sudden blast of rock music, which overlies the rest of the ad)
(Cut to ingame footage of MC kicking ass, in a variety of different ways)
(Text appears on black screen)
SAVE THE EARTH
(Fades out)
OR DIE TRYING
(Fades out)
Halo 2 logo displayed
