Halo: Reach – ‘Deliver Hope’
The Halo franchise has had a few excellent commercials over the years. Halo 3’s ‘Believe’ trailer is well-known, but Halo: Reach’s famous advert is probably the best. It essentially acts as a prologue to the game’s story, taking place on Reach and telling the brief story of how you came to take over from another Spartan in the Human-Covenant war.
The soft, emotional music juxtaposes the images of war and death and directs focus towards the story being told by the trailer. The spartan grabs a fusion bomb from the fallen soldier and flies upwards to deliver the payload. He isn’t able to escape before it detonates, and his sacrifice has a huge impact on both sides. The Deliver Hope commercial is visually stunning and perfectly introduces Halo fans to the tone and story of Halo: Reach.
