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]]''.

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. | ||
