In fact, Halo 3 is already a million-seller, and that's been the case since July. Microsoft confidently predicts the release will eclipse movie Spider-Man 3's record day-one revenue, and propel the Halo franchise's total income past the $1 billion mark by the end of 2007. Over 800,000 players checked out the game's beta test earlier this year. It's going to be huge.
2: It's the conclusion of the Halo story
How will Master Chief stop the Covenant activating Halo, wiping out all life in the galaxy? What happened to his companion, Cortana, left behind on the ring itself? Halo developer Bungie has been clear all along -- this game will be the conclusion of the Master Chief's story.
3: It'll be the best place for hot competition on Xbox Live
Even two and a half years after the release of Halo 2, over 300,000 fans are logging onto the Xbox Live network every day to play the game. It's still one of the most popular games on the service, despite several years' worth of flashier, newer releases. In short, if you're looking for a competitive multiplayer experience, Halo 3's going to be the best place to find it.
4: You can "Forge" your own maps
Although Halo 3 comes complete with a selection of multiplayer maps and game styles, it'll let players redesign them to suit their preferences, using a system it calls "Forge." Uniquely, up to eight players can cooperate (or compete) to design maps before jumping into an Xbox Live game set in their own creation.
