Halo 3 Trailer, Halo 3 Release Date, and Halo 3 Video Game Information

Halo 3, the third video game in the Halo trilogy, is a first-person shooter under development by Bungie Studios for the Xbox 360. The final version of the game is due to be released in proximity of September 25, 2007

Halo 3 Gameplay 

The gameplay of Halo 3 largely builds upon the previous successful renditions of the franchise. It is a first-person shooter that, once again, follows the character Master Chief and his struggle against the Covenant and the Flood. The game's action takes place largely on foot, but there are vehicles available for the player to use at certain points in the game. As with the other Halo titles, the multiplayer portion of the game is one of the game's most celebrated features, and is one of the reasons for the series' enormous success.


The balance of weapons and objects in the game has been adjusted to better adhere to what Multiplayer Designer Lars Bakken describes as the "Golden Three Things of Halo". These are weapons, grenades, and melee attacks; all three of which are simultaneously available to a player at all times while on foot (unless they are dual wielding).


The idea of "balance" (at least in multiplayer) is that each specific weapon or piece of equipment has specific areas where it is most useful, and others where it falls far short. No matter what combination of weapons a player chooses (players are famously limited only two choices of weapons in Halo), there will be situations in which they have an advantage, and others in which they have a disadvantage. The result is that there is no one weapon/vehicle that is overwhelmingly the best overall choice for whatever type of situation they may encounter.


The new default controller layout will see the Right Bumper become the "action" button (pick up, reload, board vehicles, activate switches, etc), with the X button being used for deployment of equipment (see Equipment below). When dual-wielding, weapons can be individually reloaded using either the left or right bumper.


Other buttons are unchanged, but B (melee attack) also will be used to take a stationary gun turret off its tripod for mobile use, becoming one of the game's "support weapons" (see Weaponry below), as well as other context sensitive functions. As with previous games however, players can still choose to change the default control layout in their game profile to a number of pre-sets. For more, see Wikipedia, Halo 3.
