Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 12 external links on Halo 3. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals.

"the second best selling game in the Halo franchise"

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)

  • You're right. I looked through the article history and someone changed it from best selling to second best selling without any explanation or source. Though I would expect Halo 3 is still the best selling game in the series, I've removed the statement since we don't have any recent and reliably sourced concrete sales figures to support the claim. --The1337gamer (talk) 20:41, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Backwards compatibility

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)

Lead

Currently the lead has range of refs which violates MOS:CITELEAD. Does anyone have any objections before I remove them?  Spy-cicle💥  16:51, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

You need to make sure those are cited in the body. If you're just pulling stuff for compliance without double-checking, I'd ask that you refrain. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs 18:25, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
I was planning on transferring the refs to the main body (assuming they were stated there). Although, you have already done it so thank you.  Spy-cicle💥  17:55, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Easter Eggs

The game contains a plethora of Easter Eggs (hidden clues and left in the final product by the game developers).

Easter eggs generally are not considered notable and worth including unless there's reliable sources discussing them in detail. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs 16:30, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
