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]].

==Errors==
*Throughout the guide, the icons for the {{Pattern|Pek|plasma cannon}} are erroneously those of the {{Pattern|Shepsu|plasma cannon}} from ''[[Halo 2]]''.
*On pages 117 and 118, the guide mentions the nonexistent rank "Brute Trackers". This is not to be confused with the rank "[[Jiralhanae Stalker|Brute Stalkers]]", which also appears separately.
*On pages 117 and 118, the guide also mentions the rank "[[Unggoy Ultra|Grunt Ultras]]", instead of [[Special Operations Unggoy|Grunt SpecOps]].
*On page 130, a [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain]] is shown wielding a [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]], instead of a regular [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]].
*On page 131, a regular Jiralhanae Chieftain is shown wielding a plasma cannon, instead of a Jiralhanae War Chieftain.
*On page 131, the guide mentions the presence of "gray Grunt Ultras" and shows an image of a Grunt in dark gray armor, absent from the game. This is not to be confused with the lighter gray Grunt SpecOps which is also shown on the same page, along with the other ranks—though the latter are not explicitly named.
*On page 163, the [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]]'s icon is that of a [[Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifle|plasma rifle]].
*On pages 170 and 171, the icons for the [[Z-4190 bubble shield|bubble shield]] (2F) and [[overshield]] (1F) are switched.
*The Guide says that [[Shade]]s are unusable, when they actually can be used.
