'''Clans''' are organized groups of players that band together for various reasons. Some battle other focused clans in an all-out clan war ("clanmatch" in [[Matchmaking]]) in team games and for practice. Other clans consist of members who share a common interest, such as [[machinima]] production or [[Forge|Forging]]. | |||

Clans are primarily social structures and as such, they exist in all three of the ''Halo'' [[first-person shooter]]s. They are becoming less prevalent in the older games, particularly ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. In [[Halo Custom Edition]], however, clans are still easy to find; they host multiple dedicated servers in an effort to provide places for people to play -- and, of course, to boost their "publicity". | Clans are primarily social structures and as such, they exist in all three of the ''Halo'' [[first-person shooter]]s.

This has led to the development of numerous informal ways to identify with a clan; clan members often share the same [[Multiplayer Emblems|Emblem]] or Service Tag. Clans organize externally, coordinating and recruiting on websites and [[Bungie.net]]. The much larger communities of gamers are sometimes devoted to other games in addition to ''Halo''; they also tend to be more competitive. Examples include [[Major League Gaming]] and LCU, the two largest ''Halo 3'' gaming communities in the world. To survive, such clans tend to keep a close eye on their members' gaming activities; hold meetings; raise money to fund the community and the websites; and constantly recruit in an effort to maintain the clan's popularity and longevity. | ||
A lot of [[Halo 3]] Clans had planned to transfer all over to ''[[Halo Reach]]'' on the release night. The Blood Brotherhood owned by JakeShadow was the very first and official ''[[Halo Reach]]'' Clan and the [[Lone Wolves]] transferred from [[Halo 3]] soon after with many more following after that. | |||
