Overview
Halo 3 wraps up the story arc of the original Halo trilogy of first-person shooters. Bungie developed the title before its transition to Microsoft. The campaign mode can be played solo or in co-op with up to three players.
02
Why it matters
As the trilogy's finale, it brought the original Halo story to its conclusion and marked Bungie's final work on the series before its transition to Microsoft. Its co-op campaign became a standard reference for shared console shooters of that era.

The physical edition
A typical complete copy includes a DVD disc in a standard Xbox 360 jewel case, usually accompanied by a printed instruction manual and any included bonus materials. Regional and promotional packaging can differ, so the exact contents may vary by edition.
