Halo 3 Coming to 360 in '07
At long last the Master Chief's third adventure is a reality, though it seems we still have a wait ahead of us. First HD screens.
Fans of Halo star Master Chief have been waiting patiently for his next game ever since the abrupt ending to 2004's Halo 2. Though Microsoft has teased for some time now that it has another Halo game coming, it was only today, at the company's briefing at this week's Electronic Entertainment Expo, that the game was officially announced.
Halo 3 will be the last instalment in the popular trilogy. According to Microsoft, in the game "Master Chief returns to finish the fight, bringing the epic conflict between the Covenant, the Flood and the entire human race to a dramatic, pulse-pounding climax".
The description may be vague but it'll be good enough for the millions of people left hanging by the conclusion to Halo 2. That game sold so well at its release in November 2004 that Microsoft declared the launch the most successful day in entertainment history, with sales of the game hitting $125 million in just 24 hours.
To accompany the announcement of Halo 3, Microsoft has also released the first official trailer for the game, which you can download either over Xbox Live or directly from Microsoft's official Xbox site.
