Overview

Halo 3 is a critically acclaimed first-person shooter (FPS) developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft. The central focus is again on the Master Chief, a surgically/genetically augmented super-soldier, who fights against an alien army known as the Covenant and the parasitic Flood. Said to be the final chapter in the story arc that began in Halo: Combat Evolved and which continued in Halo 2, Halo 3 was released on September 25, 2007, and quickly became one of the Xbox 360's first system-sellers, making an astounding $300 million during the first week of its release and going on to eventually sell over 8 million copies.
