Believe it or not, Halo 3 is now 13 years old. The game originally launched back in 2007 for the Xbox 360, and was met with monumental success, making it the best-selling game of that year. Also worth noting, Halo 3 was played online by more than 1 million Xbox Live players within its first 24 hours, setting a new record.
While most games that released in 2007 have long since rode into the sunset, not Halo 3. The game found a second life through release as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Xbox One and PC. That collection has led to continued success for Halo 3, so much so that a slew of new customization options are coming, including brand-new weapon skins.
