'''Diorama''' is an interactive flash movie, a part of the ''[[Believe]]'' ad campaign for ''[[Halo 3]]''. It is a fly-through of the [[John-117 Monument]] representing the [[Human-Covenant War]] and [[John-117]]'s sacrifice for humanity.

Line 10: Line 10:
The flash player loads a video of a camera that flies through the diorama (supposedly based on the [[Battle of Mombasa]]). The scene is very dark, and very dirty. [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] are seen, dead and alive, trying to fight the many [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] that fill the streets. As the camera continues along its path, it goes down a hill, showing more ruined buildings, [[Kig-yar|Jackals]], a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]], and a [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion]]. This location seems to be the only strong point for the Marines. The camera goes up a hill, where a lone group of Marines are in a Warthog, fighting off the many surrounding Brutes. It then pans over a broken bridge, where a [[Special Operations Unggoy|Spec Op Grunt]] is grouped with many Brutes, over to the top of a high structure. A few Marines use it as a vantage point, to snipe off [[Covenant]] forces.

The next view is of the "Hill", a Covenant-controlled landmark. There is a large trench next to it, where Marines take a stand against them. A [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]], a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]], and others battle the few surviving Marines. The camera circles around the hill, where it shows the captured [[John-117|Master Chief]], holding a [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenade]]. Once the camera reaches a certain point, an animation of the Chief looking up slowly is shown. The bridge, a large choke point, is shown again from a higher view; it was destroyed by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] in order to stop the flow of Covenant. The camera flies by a ruined building where a group of Marines are gathered, and then it returns to the beginning. A viewer may fly through the diorama again from this point.

B-021-331 was found dead along the southern bridge span. Although his armor was relatively new, other evidence proved that the Brute was a veteran of many battles. His massive torso contained bullet scars, the blades on his [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker|spiker]] were dull, and one of the four digits on his left hand was missing.

While [[Jiralhanae Minor|Brute Minors]] only recently began wearing [[jiralhanae power armor|heavy armor]], its protection did little to save this alien from the sniper fire that killed him.

Very little is known about B-010-233. His red headdress and [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]] signify [[jiralhanae Chieftain|a high rank]] in Brute wartime society, although his prowess as a soldier is debated. B-010-233 was killed by [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]] fire soon after reaching the peak of this ravine. There are no UNSC killed or wounded attributed to his actions.

Line 244: Line 221:
*When you reach a bridge (right after the tank if you chose to go to the right), slowly move the camera and look at the Brute holding a human. At one frame, an exclamation mark will appear in the gap between the brute's arm and its head.

*[[Thomas Chang|Sergeant Thomas Chang]] may be a reference to the character seen in the original ''Halo'' E3 video, when the Master Chief first made his debut. Though the video clearly showed the character being killed, because it is not considered "canon", it is possible that Chang was retconned into surviving.

*Due to unknown reasons, all of the lower-ranked brutes seen throughout the diorama are wearing [[Jiralhanae Stalker|Brute Stalker]] attire. This is probably to increase drama due to the amount of intimidation inflicted by the appearance of the Stalker uniform/armor.

*If you look closely between the ending section of [[The Storm]] and the beginning to the end of the diorama, you can note that the scenery is almost the same in both buildings and terrain. Damaged buildings and rubble make the similarity harder to spot.

*In the diorama, a segment of the [[Mombasa Tether]] appears to have fallen in the landscape. Strangely, perhaps due to size constrictions, the segments are incredibly small compared to their in-game counterparts seen both in ''Halo 3'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.
