Video: Two new Halo 3 Believe commercials
Continuing the Halo 3 Believe commercial legacy are two brand new videos, "Enemy Weapon" and "Hunted". Embedded above is the Enemy Weapon commercial in which two retired UNSC soldiers take a stroll through the war museum and talk about the weapons of war. This commercial is good ... really good. The other Believe commercial gem, Hunted (which is posted after the break), is a soldier's account of a hold out where he walks through the darkened forest and talks about the time his squad was hunted by Covenant forces and could only wait for Master Chief to save them. As always, both Believe commercials roxorz and should make you either get misty eyed or make you sniffle a bit. What more can we say, give 'em a watch fanboys.
Halo 3 diorama goes interactive with new vids
Wow, this Halo 3 battle diorama is really becoming something of its own marketing machine bringing out Halo 3's emotional underbelly. There's a lot of new news and content related to this rather large diorama, so let jump right into it.
Just launched is a brand new Halo 3 Believe website featuring an interactive view of the diorama which is being referred to as the John-117 Monument. The Believe website allows you to "fly through" the action, see all the models, take a look at the buildings and all the detail involved. Not only that, but along your journey you'll be able to capture screenshots to use as wallpapers, be able to read soldiers' battle stories, watch the recently released commercials and partake in full 360 views. It's crazy madness! We also noticed few videos that are locked until October ... we wonder what will they reveal.
The other exciting news is that a making of documentary was released (video embedded above) showcasing all the work, effort and time that was put into the diorama, but from a narrative view as if the Halo wars were real. You see, the documentary explains that the John-117 Monument diorama was created as a memorial to the numerous battles and Master Chief and took three years to build starting in the year 2607. It talks about how they accurately sculpted each figure using UNSC face scanning records, how they modeled Covenant figures after bodies they found after the battle and how they sculpted the terrain using blue prints of the area. This documentary video is simply amazing, simply creative, simply ... Halo 3. Watch it and you'll know what we mean.
Links to the first two commercials (including a lengthier 90 second Diorama TV spot), the online Believe fly through website, documentary video and other information about this Halo 3 diorama of awesomeness can be viewed over at Xbox.com. Honestly, we were skeptical at first and were unsure about all this diorama talk, but now we're in love and can't wait to finish this fight. We need a tissue.
