Halo 4‘s official launch trailer is now available signaling the start of the final countdown to release. Using a mixture of CGI and live action footage this trailer delves into the history of Master Chief.

The trailer doesn’t actually contain any gameplay footage, but we’ve all seen enough of that by now right? Titled “Scanned” the trailer shows a powerful enemy capturing Master Chief to learn of his weaknesses, but also unexpectedly discovers his greatest source of strength.

As an interesting fact this trailer was produced by David Fincher who directed films such as Fight Club and Se7en, you can check it out below. Halo 4 is due to release November 6 exclusively on Xbox 360.
