The '''''Halo 3 Strategy Guide''''' is the official strategy guide for the video game ''[[Halo 3]]'' published by Prima Games. It was set for release on September 14, [[2007]], but later pushed back to September 25, the date the game was released.  It contains a detailed map of each [[Campaign|mission]] and [[multiplayer]] map, which includes locations of the default [[Weapons (gameplay)|weapons]].  The guide also includes a list of all the [[Achievements]] and how to unlock each one, a complete bestiary with notes on typical enemy armament, and an [[equipment]] list.  The extras section has a list of nine of the 13 [[Halo 3 skulls|skulls]] (only the gold ones) with notes on what they do as well as recommendations on what skulls to use on what levels.  It also covers how the meta-game scoring works, with a breakdown of what enemy falls in what category.
The primary layout features a quick walk through recommended for [[easy]] and [[normal]] difficulty levels on the left side of a page, even numbered pages, and an in depth guide for [[legendary]].
