'''Gravesite''' is the last video featured in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' ''[[Believe]]'' advertising campaign. 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]]. | |||

The other videos implied that [[Master Chief]] killed himself with a [[plasma grenade]], somehow winning the battle for the humans. Of course, he could have stuck the [[Brute Chieftain]] holding him with his [[grenade]], like he did in ''[[Halo: Uprising]]''. Much like the game, no final death was ever confirmed. This video specifically distinguishes that the Chief is [[MIA]] and that an empty casket was present at his memorial service. | |||

*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 which fire different calibers. Or Bungie foolishly thought no one would notice (most likely). | ||
