A talented Halo 3 fan online has created nine epic pieces of artwork, each one based on a different campaign mission from Bungie’s FPS. Despite just recently turning 17 years old, Halo 3 holds up to this day, and thanks to the Master Chief Collection, maintains a solid community of players.
The launch of Halo 3 was enormous back in 2007, with very few games reaching its massive level of hype. It’s impressive to think that the game had such an effect on many gamers, that they’re still paying tribute to it in unique ways in 2024. Earlier this year, another Halo fan made life-size Master Chief and Arbiter statues, showing that it can take something awesome to still stand out among community creations nowadays. Ultimately, Halo 3 is a title that many gamers will always have a nostalgic place in their hearts for, so there will probably continue to be great fan creations paying tribute to it for years to come.
Redditor nobleartworks showed off their incredible Halo art, which they have completed over the last six months. According to the user, each one is inspired by every Halo 3 campaign mission, and frankly, given the level of detail in each piece, they could easily pass for official concept art. Each one captures the essence of their respective missions perfectly, with the highlight arguably being The Storm, where players must take on a Scarab while driving a Mongoose. One user in the thread even went as far as to call it “A glimpse of what H3A could look like,” but admitted this is “all hopium.”
Halo 3 Campaign Mission Art Pieces
Halo 3 features easily one of the most iconic story campaigns in video game history, with Bungie closing the door on its Master Chief story. 343 Industries has obviously reopened that door in the years since, but Halo 3 was the perfect end to a fantastic trilogy of games. While a Halo 3 Anniversary seems unlikely at this point, it’s interesting to see how this fan has interpreted these missions in their own realistic style.
While it may not reach the heights of its Bungie heyday, the Halo series remains strong under 343 Industries. The most recent title in the series, Halo Infinite, is in a much better place than it was at launch, thanks to constant updates and content drops from the developer. Earlier this year, it was rumored that Halo 7 got a new lead designer, and while nothing is confirmed regarding a new title in the series, it seems likely that one is in the works right now.
