On May 15, 2007 the information was published ” the Halo 3 release date would be September 25 in North America and the 26th in Europe. Halo 3 marked the third in a wildly popular series for the Xbox 360 called Halo. According to the vice president of Microsoft’s interactive entertainment business, Halo 3’s publication was more than just a video game release, it was the biggest media event of the year. He may just have been right.

The full history of Halo 3 actually has to start with the publication of the first game in the series ‘Halo: Combat Evolved’. In November, 2001, when Halo was first released, game consoles were somewhat of a joke as one-person shoot-em-up games. Sure, some games existed, but there weren’t the popular communities that the PC games in the genre had.

That all changed with Halo, in which players could fight aliens on foot and in vehicles, in order to complete objectives, while trying to uncover the secret of the Halo. Halo pioneered limiting the number of weapons a player could carry to two, which in turn, meant forcing the player to make strategic decisions.

People waited for the release of Halo 3 with baited breath. They awaited the continuation of the one-person, shoot-em-up combat format that had been dominant in the two former versions of Halo. Microsoft calls it the ‘Golden Triangle of Halo’, which consists of gun-type weapons, grenades and others. In actuality, this was not new to one-person, shoot-em-up games, as it had existed since the very first Doom and even the predecessor to that game, Wolfenstein.

So, with all of that previous history, people were full of anticipation and excitement over the Halo 3 release date. How popular and welcome was the game? Well, before its release, 3.1 million copies were sold in advance orders and retailers were sure that that was insufficient.

The game took over $300 million gross in the United States in only the first seven days. Overall, it has sold over nine million copies worldwide and was the best-selling video game in the USA in 2007. Even the critics liked it, ranking it the seventh highest in the list of Xbox 360 all-time great games.

The Halo 3 release date, like the release date of many wildly popular video games was almost like a national holiday like Christmas or Easter. It leaves us with the question of just what will happen in the realm of video games in the near future?

Recently while searching the Internet for information on the Halo 3 weapons cheats, I came across a number of what-if scenarios? What if Master Chief took on different famous characters from movies, comic books, and legends? Here is a list of some of these battles and my idea of the result.

Although it is technically not a Halo 3 weapon cheat, the contest between Master Chief versus Robocop would be hot. According to the information on the Internet both have some similarities. They’re both human, they’ve both been enhanced, they both have amazing armour and they are both veteran combatants. Most respondents predicted that Master Chief would beat Robocop, but let’s face facts here, Master Chief can be defeated with a pistol, whereas Robocop was still going after being blown up at a petrol station. The victor has to be Robocop.

If Master Chief took on the next fighter he would need to have a Halo 3 weapon cheat. The next is MacGyver. Master Chief has a lot of advantages. He is proficient with a number of weapons; he has that fantastic armour; he has some incredible vehicles at his disposal; he’s a Clint Eastwood type loner and he can repair himself. However, in short, MacGyver is brain over brawn. It would probably boil down to the same considerations in a fight between Batman and Superman. However, if it’s a closed arena where it’s man versus man, Master Chief is going to win. But put this battle in the real world with Swiss army knives and plastic tape at his disposal, and MacGyver’s going to wipe the floor with our bionic friend.

So far Master Chief is 2-0 down, it’s beginning to look like he could really use a Halo 3 weapon cheat. But let’s give him another chance. This time it’s Master Chief versus Terminator. We already know Master Chief’s powers, the Terminator’s consist of an ability to master any weapon, relentless willpower, doesn’t get tired, amazing detrermination to kill his prey. It all comes down to the Spartan laser weapon. As one respondent said, if Master Chief can destroy vehicles with this weapon he can certainly put a sizeable hole in the Terminator too.

OK, let’s have another contest before Master Chief discovers his Halo 3 weapon cheat. How can he do in battle against Boba Fett from Star Wars? The major differences between Master Chief and Boba Fett are that Boba has no shield, owns his own ship and has a jet pack (wow).

Many people believe Star Wars comes out on top in this battle, but Master Chief’s weapons are much more powerful than those shown by the bounty hunter. This one makes it two all, Master Chief goes 50-50.

So, those are the results of the survey – the people have spoken. In this small poll that we found on the Internet, Master Chief is your average type of super hero, who is not guaranteed to win every single fight, unless he finds his weapon cheats or the story writers want him to, that is.

Usually, a Halo 3 mod is considered to be any software modification that alters the game play in the very popular video game for the Xbox 360, Halo 3. But the terminology also includes many other modifications, such as hardware changes made to the Xbox 360 console to show the world that you are a hard-core Halo 3 fanatic.

However, before someone can create a Halo 3 mod, they need the right tools, together with some technical knowledge. These tools usually include a number of bits of software that allow people to de-construct, edit, and reconstruct Halo 3 files. It would also involve some hardware to allow the Xbox 360 hard drive to be read into a PC and the files to be downloaded to that hard drive.

This is necessary because the Xbox 360 is not a unit on which files can be altered. In the past, the hardware developers, in this case Microsoft, would make the tools available to people who paid the licensing fee. But over time, especially with Halo 3 mods, the public has developed several tools and techniques to achieve what needs to be done for modification.

A Halo 3 mod also includes, as written earlier, physical changes to the Xbox 360 console. Some people, for example, remove the case and actually carve the words ‘Halo 3′ into it. They might also accompany this by painting the console red, blue or green to match the colour of the armour of the characters in the game.

However, it’s a pretty extreme way to say to the world – I love Halo 3 – in that it could cause actual damage that renders the Xbox 360 unplayable. People often display their altered Xbox 360s on photo-sharing sites such as Flickr and when they go toattend live LAN events.

One of the things that people who are fanatical about the world of the Halo 3 mod try to focus on is that the mods should not be created for the purpose of cheating. Modifications are fun to get a new aspect on Halo 3 play or a new look for certain levels. But if they’re used to make the game unfair in favour of one person or team, they ruin the overall game experience for everyone.

One website where a person can find many a Halo 3 mod is H3mod.com. The site calls itself the ‘future of Halo modding’. It seems like a good place to start if you really want to learn about a Halo 3 mod.
