Halo 3, the third game in the best-selling Xbox game franchise Halo, is a highly anticipated first-person shooter video game under development by Bungie Studios for the Xbox 360 and is expected to "set a new high water mark" for next-generation games. An official announcement on the developers' website states that Halo 3 will end the current story arc of the Halo trilogy. A public beta test of the multi-player component of the game began on May 16, 2007 and ended on June 10, 2007. The final version of the game is due to be released on September 25, 2007 in the United States, and on September 26 in Europe.
The only plot points that have been revealed so far are that Master Chief is back on a thoroughly conquered and Covenant-controlled Earth. Cortana is still a prisoner of Gravemind, Covenant ships are hovering over an excavation site only a few miles from the ruins of New Mombasa, The Covenant have also uncovered a large artifact in this site. The Arbiter, along with the remaining Elites, have allied themselves with the human forces, and in addition to all of that The Flood has been set loose, according to the official website.
The game will not begin right where Halo 2 left off. According to an interview with Brian Bendis of Marvel Comics, the new comic, Halo: Uprising, will take place between the ending of Halo 2, and the beginning of Halo 3. This comic may explain how the Chief got his new armor, and give players a chance to choose their control settings at the beginning of the game, as the previous two did.
What is known, however, is that there are nine chapters/levels, titled "Landfall", "Holdout", "The Road", "Assault", "Cleansing", "Refuge", "Last Stand", "The Key", and "Return". Wikipedia |
