The inner box (which is the actual box itself) has a picture of the Portal firing, while the outer box (which is more like a simple cover) has a large 3 printed on it, with the words "Halo 3 Legendary Edition" below that. On the other side of this is a large picture of the Master Chief, which can be used as a poster. There was a recall of some Legendary Editions due to the fact that some maps won't work.[verification needed]
