Master Chief returns to a Covenant Dominated Earth on a mission to kill the final alien leader. Meanwhile, the Arbiter, Johnson, and Keyes form a loose alliance and escape from Delta Halo. The Covenant is ripped in civil war, and the Elites along with a handful of other alien races become sympathetic to the human cause. Delta Halo's impromptu dis-activation has brought all of the Halos to a "remote activation phase". They can be activated from a facility called the ark, which happens to be on Earth.

The Halo 3 Limited Edition comes in a three-way folding steel container. It includes extras such as the Bestiarum, a hardbound book with information on the races of the Halo universe, a poster with the Master Chief and Arbiter, a collection of storyboard art, and a second disc with a calibration tool and a number of "behind the scenes" featurettes. The limited edition is also noteworthy for the disc holders frequently failing to hold the discs properly, resulting in a significant number of discs coming loose during transport and being scratched, sometimes to the point of being unusable.
