When the xbox was released in 2001 microsoft did not have any blockbuster titles for their new console. That was until Bungie Studios and microsoft got together and released halo: Combat Evolved. Since then halo has had a sequel released as well as the third game which is due for release this year. Not only has halo being a revolution on the xbox but the games have also being released on the PC.

Greatly Improved Visuals

The halo series has have been the blockbuster titles that the xbox needed to increase sales, so halo 3 has some big shoes to fill. The visuals will be greatly improved as halo 3 will be released on the Xbox360 which is a far more powerful console than the original Xbox. The game will be rendered in full HD which leads to better rendering of the landscape, characters and reflections.

Improved sound

The latest console from microsoft the Xbox360 is capable of producing 5.1 surround sound which halo 3 will take full effect from. This will add for much better and realistic sound from weapons and dialogue.

multiplayer action

As with all currently released games their will be a multiplayer component to halo 3, which will feature a rankings system to see how you stack up to the worlds halo elite. There will also be the option to save multiplayer games for later viewing.

The Story So far

The plot does not take off from the end of halo 2. The new halo comic series will bridge the gap between the two games. For those that have not played any of the halo games the basic storyline is the human race trying to fend off an alien invasion.
