'''Gravesite''' is the last video featured in the ''[[Believe]]'' advertising campaign for ''[[Halo 3]]''. With a release date of [[Wikipedia:October 1|October 1st]], [[Wikipedia:2007|2007]] the video follows the rest of the series including [[Hunted]], [[Museum]] and [[Enemy Weapon]]. It was told from the viewpoint of [[Lieutenant]] [[Niraj Shah]] returning to the site of the [[Battle of New Mombasa]] 43 years after the battle in [[2595]].

The other videos implied that Chief killed himself with a plasma grenade, somehow winning the battle for the humans.  Much like the game, no final death is ever confirmed.  This video specifically distinguishes that the Chief is MIA with an empty casket present at the memorial service.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The other videos implied that Master Chief killed himself with a [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenade]], somehow winning the battle for the humans. Of course, he could have stuck the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]] holding him with his [[grenade]], as he did in ''[[Halo: Uprising]]''. Much like the game, no final death was ever confirmed. This video specifically distinguishes that the Chief is [[Missing in action|MIA]] and that an empty casket was present at his memorial service.
*The video was released on October 9th, eight days after the listed release date, October 1st.
**With [[Hunt the Truth]], the ceremony could have been for the supposed death of John-117 on October [[2558]].
*Niraj Shah appears to have extensive burns along the right side of his face, presumably from wounds received during the war. The scars are similar to the result of a plasma burn.
*The video was released eight days after the listed release date, on [[Wikipedia:October 9|October 9th]].
*The shell Shah picked up was a .50 caliber BMG shell, not a sniper shell. The sniper rifles used by the UNSC are sabot roundswith no shell, only three fragments which exit the barrel along with the round. Either that or it was a different model sniper rifle then the ones in game.  
*Niraj Shah appears to have extensive burns along the right side of his face, presumably from wounds received during the war. The scars are similar to what a plasma burn would look like, or they could be the result of an encounter with a [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] [[Orgudam Workshop firebomb|Firebomb]].
*The shell Shah picked up was a .50 caliber BMG shell. The SRS-99 Series used by the UNSC fire 14.5mm APFSDS rounds, which are slightly larger than .50 caliber. Either this is an apparent mistake, or the UNSC has other models of Sniper Rifle in its arsenal that fire different types of ammunition.
