Why would anyone use a strategy guide? What is the point of buying a game, with the intention of playing it through and having fun, then going to gamestop and buying a $40 book to guide you every step of the way? Not only do strategy guides take away from the gaming experience, but they cost money as well. So let's see... Not only does it cost money to buy the game, but you lose the value of that game and more money after buying the guide... Righto.

This is a Halo 3 player's best friend. It provides excellent tips on how to complete the campaign on Legendary with a guide showing the weapon locations and secret areas. It teaches how to dominate the Xbox Live arena with detailed maps showing weapon spawns and tips for maps ex. hiding spots, power weapons etc. The campaign guide is completely spoiler-free making it very user-friendly to new players and veterans alike. It has different sections detailing equipment, weapon effectiveness, vehicles, and enemies. This is the guide of choice for any one playing Halo 3 and should pick it up as soon as possible. Your not a true Halo 3 fan until you have this book!

An excellent strategy guide that not only gives you every possible ounce of information and tips you could think of, but also gives you expert strategic guidance on every level, multiplayer map, weapon, vehicle, enemy as well as on how to best complete the game on legendary difficulty. Did I mention that it has beautiful art-work gracing every page?. A must own for those who are looking to better improve their Halo 3 skills, and for those who are simply looking for a fun to look at visual guide.

If I were to choose a guide to follow, this would be the one. Even though I haven't used the campaign portion of the book yet, everything else has been helpful. The greatest strength of the book is that it has no spoilers. It would've been 5 star if not for the two small typos and a few problems with the weapon placements on some maps.

If you don't have a lot of time and you really want to complete the campaign at the legendary level, this book is your buddy. It coaches you well and does not ruin it with spoilers.
