Halo 3 is a first-person shooter video game made by Bungie Studios for the Xbox 360, published by Microsoft. The game brings an end to the story started in the two previous video games of the Halo series; Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2.[1] The game came out on September 25, 2007 all over the world, except Europe and Japan where it was released on September 26.[2] Microsoft made 4.2 million copies of Halo 3 for the first day of sales to make sure there were enough copies.[3]
The game's story is based around a future war between a fictional alien race known as "the Covenant" and the human race. The player takes the role of Master Chief, a genetically enhanced "super soldier" who fights for the human race. The player is helped through the story by marines and another alien race known as "the elites". The game had many new features that were not in the first two games including more vehicles, weapons and equipment.
Sales of the game added up to over $300 million USD in its first week.[4] More than a million people played the game on Xbox Live in the first 24 hours of its release.[5] By January 1, 2008 it had sold over 8 million copies making it the best selling video game of 2007.[6][7] The game was well-reviewed in the press. It received a 94 out of 100 rating on Metacritic, a website that puts many reviews together and gives an average score.[8]
