The second of the Halo 3 "Believe" ads has made its way onto the web, and it extends the story told in yesterday's ad "Museum" (now available on Marketplace, by the way). Again featuring the diorama of a gigantic battle, the ad more or less presents a freeze frame at what appears to be the defining moment in the fight. Whether or not this battle is indicative of a similar battle in the actual game, we don't know. If it is though, Halo 3 is looking to up its presentation by an epic measure. We only hope that the game can live up to the kind of drama that's alluded to in these ads. The ad appears to have been leaked early (note the bump at the beginning with the ad agency's name), so we're expecting a high resolution version soon. For now, watch the ad and share your thoughts.

This will let people know who Master Chief is from the previous ad, "when Master Chief armed his grenade..."

I had the same reaction to the first, but the second was weak.

The more I watch it the more I like, both are great awesome commercials.
I think Bungie is successfully potraying this grand epic battle effectively and emotionally. You empathize with humanity and their hope of Master Chief coming through to perserve Earth.

@ Jonah...RIP? No. He's been in the same situation before and he got out of it by jamming the grenade into the brute's armour...where it exploded and killed the motherfucker.
Master Cheif FTW. FTF 09/25/2007.

If you don't like it I recommend you watch the other one, then watch this one like twice again. It might grow on you, I like how this one plays out with what the veteran was relating.

I'm I the only one wondering why they are using cheesy plastic soldiers in these commericals. It's a museum in the future, bring in the holograms! Or anything that doesn't look like the green plastic army men from back in the day.

I really hope they do not kill him in the end. But I have a bad feeling they are going to. This is the last part in the halo story from what I hear. I know they are going to take the game in a different direction after this one, so it would make sense that they would want to make it fresh with a new character.

Master Chief is a goner.
The museum and this -- this is where Master Chief sacrifices his life to save humanity.
