| A '''clan''' is an organized group of players that band together for various reasons. Some battle other focused clans in an all-out clan war ("[[clanmatch]]" in [[matchmaking]]) in team games and for practice. Other clans consist of members who share a common interest, such as [[machinima]] production or [[Forging]].
| | '''Clans''' are formalized and organized (Although some only very loosely) groups that players can join for purposes of battling other focused clans in an all out clan war (clanmatch in [[matchmaking]]) in team games and for practice. Clans exist in all three of the Halo games, but are becoming less prevalent in the older ones, especially [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], in which they are somewhat hard to find. Halo 2 is the only halo game which allows actual clans that appear as a list, or built in option. |

| ==Overview==
| | [[Halo 2]] has a clan system that allows you to hold up to 100 people. In Halo 2, any given gamertag may only belong to one clan at a time. |
| Clans are primarily social structures and as such, they exist in all three of the ''Halo'' [[first-person shooter]]s. They are becoming less prevalent in the older games, particularly ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. In [[Halo Custom Edition]], however, clans are still easy to find; they host multiple dedicated servers in an effort to provide places for people to play -- and, of course, to boost their "publicity".

| ''[[Halo 2]]'' is the only ''Halo'' game to explicitly support clans as a built-in option; its clan system allows a clan to hold up to 100 people. A [[multiplayer emblems|gamertag]] may only belong to one clan at a time.
| | There are no clans in Halo 3 but people with the same emblem usually say they are in a clan. However, people often organize clans externally, via the use of websites and such. Examples include HBO. These are often created for competitve reasons, and are highly devoted due to the amount of effort it takes to effectively organize one. |

|
| There is no built-in clan ladder on ''[[Halo 3]]''. This has led to the development of numerous informal ways to identify with a clan; clan members often share the same [[emblem]] or service tag. Clans organize externally, coordinating and recruiting on websites and [[Bungie.net]]. The much larger communities of gamers are sometimes devoted to other games in addition to ''Halo''; they also tend to be more competitive. Examples include [[Major League Gaming]] and LCU, the two largest ''Halo 3'' gaming communities in the world. To survive, such clans tend to keep a close eye on their members' gaming activities; hold meetings; raise money to fund the community and the websites; and constantly recruit in an effort to maintain the clan's popularity and longevity.
