Halo 3 is the third assault in the popular Xbox 360 first person shooter Halo franchise and gamers are restlessly waiting for its arrival. The Halo 3 video game has the capability of being the season's hottest selling title. It features the Master Chief, who has returned to stop the Flood, a terror whose goal is to devour all life on the planet. Master Chief battles against the Covenant, a team of races whose goal is to end all human life.

Halo mega-structures, which are intended to stop the spread of the Flood, were introduced into the game at the end of the previous series. These mega-structures were designed to destroy all life in the universe in order to prevent the spread of the Flood. Halo 3 picks up at this point, and continues the story with the battle to prevent the Covenant from taking over these structures.

Halo 3's new features are not only written to be fully compatible for the platform, they look forward and make use of features in the next generation consoles. This means your experience is enhanced by achievements for online play, refined graphics, dynamic lighting, and enhanced online play. Halo 3 - for the new generation!

Driving vehicles, a popular feature in the previous title of the series, have gotten even better in Halo 3. In the multiplayer option, vehicles can be used for transportation and as offensive weapons in combat action and battles. Vehicle combat is a much anticipated feature of the epic battles loved by fans of Halo 3!

Just like in the earlier Halo titles, Halo 3 gives you the opportunity to wield dual weapons, so you have more firepower when attacking the Covenant, the Flood or in an online battle. With dual weapons, you have your choice of the appropriate weapon, depending on which enemy you are currently encountering. When you're running low on ammunition in one weapon, you are able to whip out another, even in the middle of a crucial firefight!

Good Artificial Intelligence has always been a hallmark of the Halo series, and Halo 3 does not disappoint on this point either. The next generation console power is utilized to its full potential providing more 'horsepower' keeping your computer operated team members playing, and not in the path of the enemy's bullet. In Halo 3 teammates take cover, and use strategy in their fighting, both features that have not often been found in first person shooters before.

As an overall piece Halo 3 promises to be one of the hottest titles of the season. Couple that with the next generation console power and you are sure to be amply satisfied by this latest Xbox offering. Halo 3 brings to an end the Halo titles, but it does so in a way that would surely blow away any competition this year.
