10 Best Video Game Trailers Of All Time
6. Halo 3 - Believe
The Halo series is no stranger to amazing cinematic trailers, but this one earns its place on this list by choosing to think outside of the box and delivering something that's primed to give you goosebumps.
Live-action trailers are often a source of anxiety for gamers, as they don't always capture the game's feel, but this one succeeds thanks to a beautiful piece of artistry. It's straightforward by design, as all it does is pan through the John-117 memorial diorama, giving you a glimpse into the devastation of the human-covenant war and capturing a profound/epic sense of the trilogy coming to an end.
Seeing the well-crafted memorial to Master Chief and the soldiers he fought alongside is emotional, and although there's no movement - save for at the very end - you can still feel the raw and chaotic energy of the battlefield.
The amount of detail and skill that went into making this beautiful tribute to the Halo franchise is incredible, and you can even see behind the scenes in more of the "believe" campaign. But, simply opting to deliver this beautiful creation with dignified music and strong camera work was enough to make it iconic.
