Unlike [[Halo 2]]'s ARG [[I Love Bees]], Iris was conducted by using internet forums in the Halo ~~Community~~, as a means of interacting with the players, giving clues and/or discussion. The forums provided the interactive aspect of the ARG. Clues, ~~Hints~~, and information was given to the players by ~~an unknown~~ [[~~Sentinel~~|~~Forerunner~~ construct]] called [[AdjutantReflex]] ~~an A.I~~ whose role is to help the players discover and unravel the mysteries of the Forerunners. These clues eventually ~~lead~~ players to a series of websites or "Servers" for them to unlock and gain more information.

Iris was written by [[Frank O'Connor]], with help from community manager [[Brian Jarrard]] and artist [[Aaron LeMay]]. The campaign ran for several weeks beginning shortly after the conclusion of the [[Halo 3 Beta]] and continued up until the release of Halo 3 on September 25, 2007. Iris promised to be a compelling experience to uncover valuable information and players who participated received small prizes for their efforts. The campaign was deemed ''Iris'', because graphics of an iris or a pupil appear prominently. ''Iris'' could also be ~~another~~ Greek ~~history/~~mythology reference. The minor Greek goddess ''Iris'' was the goddess of the ~~Rainbow~~ and a messenger of the gods. This makes some sense as there is an image of a rainbow from one of the servers and the popular 'Rainbow Theory'
