Flashback: The Halo Trailers

The beginning of epic video game trailers.

To sell any form of entertainment these days, you need to be flashy. The best trailers will always put people’s asses in those movie theater seats, while  quality video game trailers will definitely encourage sales. But there was one series that definitely made notable strides in the trailer department, and that was Halo. Instead of just describing them all to you, you can check out some of the best of the Halo trailers for 3, ODST, and Reach.

Halo 3 – Starry Night (aka “Not yet”)

Halo 3 – Believe (aka “That’s a fancy model you’ve got there”)

Halo 3: ODST – The Rookie (aka “So that’s what this game is about”)

Halo 3: ODST – We are ODST (aka “So this isn’t what the game is going to be about”)

Halo Reach – Birth of a Spartan (aka “Oh, so that’s how it’s done”)

Halo Reach – Deliver Hope (aka “Special delivery”)

You may have noticed some similarities with trailers for more recent games like Mass Effect 3. Here’s hoping we see something special along these lines at E3 this year.
