Halo 3 is a popular video game for the Xbox 360 video game system that was released in 2007 all around the world. It is the third in a top selling game series called the Halo trilogy. Overall the trilogy helped make Xbox and the Xbox 360 popular consoles.

Was Halo 3 well received?  In the first week of release it grossed over 4.2 million dollars and sold more than 4 million copies. Over one million of those original players tried the game online in the first 24 hours. As of January of 2008 Halo 3 sold 8.1 million copies, and was the best-selling video game in the United States in 2007.

With Halo 3 and the Halo series consoles finally were taken seriously for FPS games.  Prior to the Halo series first-person shooter games were played on the computer and anything found on a console was just an afterthought. Halo on Xbox 360 created its own huge following, including communities online to play the game in leagues and competitions, as well as in clans and teams.  Consoles could finally compete with the PC for shooters, and Halo 3 just made them stronger.

Halo 3 marks the final battle between humans and the alien Covenant. Players become the Master Chief, aided in his battles with super weapons and the alien Elite.  This version of the game included a map editor which allow players to modify multiplayer levels. This has never before been seen in the series, and was very popular.

Halo 3 ended the original trilogy, but now Halo 3:ODST is in the works. This time players will not be in control of Master Chief.  It's a gamble because the character is wildly popular.

Try Halo 3.  You'll love the game
