Halo 3 the last in the halo series. Its a first person shooter coming out in September 25, 2007 in United States, Canada, and Australia and on September 26, 2007 in Europe.
Halo 3 introduces a new-to-the-series class called "support weapons". These are a group of exceptionally large, powerful and cumbersome two-handed weapons that, when carried, change the view to a third-person perspective and cause the player to move more slowly. The only two weapons in this class that have been revealed thus far are the Machine Gun Turret and the Missile Pod. The Assault Rifle which appeared in the original Halo as the MA5B but was absent from Halo 2 is returning for Halo 3 retooled into the MA5C. When a player is carrying a second weapon in Halo 3, the secondary weapon will be stored on the character's back (for larger, two-handed weapons) or on a leg holster (for smaller, one-handed weapons). This makes it impossible to "hide" a powerful secondary weapon and surprise unsuspecting foes.
The Mongoose ATV that had been originally designed for Halo 2 but was cut out, finally makes an appearance in Halo 3. It is a human vehicle in addition to the Scorpion tank and Warthog offroad vehicle. It is a small quad-bike vehicle and, like the Warthog, the driver is unable to fire any on-board weapons, and as such is nearly defenseless. There is also an entirely new Brute vehicle, dubbed the "Brute Chopper". Unlike other vehicles attributed to The Covenant in the game, that entirely hover or fly above the ground, it has a single large and heavy wheel on the front with a hovering driver seat behind. It has been refered to as a "vehicle smasher," able to destroy other vehicles with a single hit.
There will be three different versions of Halo 3 for retail sale: the Standard Edition, which contains the game disk and a manual; the Collector's Edition, which contains the game disk, manual, interactive Xbox 360 bonus disk with several featurettes, and Beastarum, which is a "hard cover, bound collection of information and art covering the species, cultures and civilizations of Halo 3." according to Bungie; the Legendary Edition, which contains the game disk, manual, interactive bonus disk, Beastarum, Legendary DVD containing special content exclusive to the Legendary Edition, and a scale replica of the Master Chief's Helmet as a case for the three disks.
