Separated from your squad, you'll have to scour the city for clues in order to learn what happened to Buck, Dare, Dutch, Mickey, and Romeo. As you collect new clues, you’ll experience the story from their perspectives, fighting through the occupied city hours earlier.
A New Way to Play: 4-Player Co-op Firefight
Drop feet first into a new way to play Halo with the cooperative campaign mode,
Firefight. Form a squad of your friends over System Link or Xbox LIVE and put
your skills to the ultimate test against the invading Covenant war machine for
glory, high scores, and achievements. Do battle in multiple environments, on
foot or in vehicles, and against increasingly difficult waves of Covenant
attackers while Halo 3's skull modifiers progressively activate to up the ante.
After the Firefight, relive and review every last kill you earned and see how your high scores and stats stack up against your friends' and the community overall using Bungie.net's persistent online stats and Firefight leaderboards.
3 New Halo 3 Maps
Three all-new maps make their debut for Halo 3's traditional, chart-topping
multiplayer. Heretic, Longshore, and Citadel drop in alongside the original Halo
3 multiplayer maps, all packed in and playable from one standalone disc.
Twenty-four maps in all, including the Heroic, Legendary, Cold Storage, and
Mythic Map Packs, provide a peerless multiplayer experience, near limitless
content creation and customization via the Forge and Sandbox, and a slew of new
multiplayer achievements for Halo 3.
New Challenges and Achievements
For the first time, Recon Armor for use in Halo 3 multiplayer will be made
available to players who complete the "Road to Recon" challenge. Earn all seven
of the Vidmasters, a series of Xbox LIVE achievements that span Halo 3's
Campaign and Multiplayer and Halo 3: ODST, and then visit your Bungie.net
Service Record with a linked gamertag to enable your sweet new set of digital
duds.
If you already own Halo 3, you can get started now by collecting the "Annual" campaign achievement and the "7 on the 7th" and "Lightswitch" multiplayer achievements in matchmaking. And, if you've already downloaded the Mythic Map Pack, you can collect the hidden skulls on Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox today.
