In the article, it states that Halo 3 is the "second best selling game in the Halo franchise," but no credible source (at least none that are up-to-date) reaffirms this claim. According to the article, List of best-selling video games, Halo 3 has sold 14+ million units and is far ahead in sales than any Halo game before and after it. Can anyone change this line? Thank you. 2602:306:C5B4:4B79:4578:671B:6864:6A35 ( talk) 20:07, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
It's been announced by 343 that this game, along with three others, will be made backwards compatible on the Xbox One. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/halo-summer-celebration (anonymous user) 21:28, 7 July 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:6000:C083:8400:F0C4:D7B0:30BE:26B4 ( talk)
Currently the lead has range of refs which violates MOS:CITELEAD. Does anyone have any objections before I remove them? Spy-cicle💥 Talk? 16:51, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
The game contains a plethora of Easter Eggs (hidden clues and left in the final product by the game developers).

Halo 3 Xbox servers were officially shut down on January 13th 2022. 2604:2D80:E599:1B00:605D:2C6D:1FAA:7ED6 ( talk) 22:11, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
Reopening. Please add to the "modes" section or any other place deemed appropriate: On January 13, 2022, the Halo 3 multiplayer matchmaking servers on the Xbox 360 platform were shutdown permanently by 343 Industries. As of 13 January 2022 [update], Halo multiplayer continues to be available through The Master Chief Collection. [1] 84.250.14.116 ( talk) 11:03, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

It's the end of an era, as January 13 marks the server shutdown date for Halo 3 and other classic, much-loved Xbox 360 Halo games. 343 Industries is "sunsetting" the original Xbox 360 online servers for Halo, Halo 4, Halo: Reach, and other Halo titles as it prioritizes newer games. While Halo 3 and the others remain playable online through Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the original Xbox 360 servers are now offline for good.
It is my understanding that the alternate reality game "I Love Bees" was a product of the marketing for "Halo 2", not this game. Avatartuna ( talk) 17:33, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
