01Overview

Halo 3 is a shooter game where players primarily experience gameplay from a first-person perspective. Much of the gameplay takes place on foot, but also includes segments focused on vehicular combat. The balance of weapons and objects was adjusted around the Golden Triangle of Halo, which is weapons, grenades, and melee attacks. Players may dual-wield some weapons, forgoing grenades and melee attacks in favor of the combined firepower of two weapons. Halo 3 introduces support weapons, which are cumbersome two-handed weapons that slow the player but offer greatly increased firepower. It also adds equipment, items with effects ranging from defensive screens to shield regeneration and flares. Only one piece of equipment can be carried at a time. The campaign has Master Chief return to finish the fight between the Covenant, the Flood and humanity, and it has 11 missions. Multiplayer includes 24 maps and a progression system. Forge lets players create new ways to play, and Theater captures and shares favorite moments with the community. The game supports co-op and online matches, and the PC version supports mouse and keyboard, ultrawide screens and field of view customization.
