"A hero is more than a person, a hero is a belief. A belief that, against impossible odds, the world can be saved—and that the world is still worth saving. Heroes inspire that belief in us. They renew our faith and give us that most precious of all gifts—hope. The world needs heroes. That's why, when a true hero arrives, the world will honor him."
— Xbox.com introduction to "Believe"

Believe is a Microsoft marketing campaign for Halo 3.

It features the word "Believe" as a tagline, and appears to be honoring the legacy of SPARTAN-117, citing him as a hero of the United Nations Space Command Defense Force whose brave actions inspired other servicemen during the Human-Covenant War[1].

It includes handouts, live-action TV commercials, magazine page advertisements, and XBOX live marketplace ads:

  • Believe (Magazine) - An advertisement in the September issues of EGM and OXM.
  • Believe (Event) - A pamphlet distributed at the Projekt Revolution musical festival, featuring in-universe musical presentation of the UNSC Symphony Orchestra.
  • Diorama - An interactive flash movie, a part of the Believe campaign for Halo 3. It is a fly through of the John-117 Monument, and can be viewed at the Halo 3 website.
  • Museum - A live-action TV commercial featuring Pawel Czernek, a UNSC veteran that fought in the Battle of New Mombasa alongside SPARTAN-117, reminiscing of his memories of the inspiring hero.
  • Hunted - A live-action TV commercial.
  • Enemy Weapon - A live-action TV commercial.

A website has been created featuring the entire monument in a Flash format, in which the viewer uses the mouse or arrow keys to move through the monument. Throughout this "tour", there are many click able icons, which show reflections by Marines who served in the Battle for New Mombasa, synopsis of enemies, vehicles, and other Marines, and most importantly, the videos.

  • The final video in the diorama, "Grave site," was supposed to be released on October 1st but for unknown reasons it was never released.
  • Instead, on XBox.com there is a collection of photographs from war photographer Jake Courage titled "Shooting a Hero."[1]
