In ''Halo 3'', the player controls the Master Chief. Co-op allows two players in split-screen, and up to four players in system link or Xbox Live. The second, third and fourth players respectively control the Arbiter, [[N'tho 'Sraom]] and [[Usze 'Taham]]. It is one of only two ''Halo'' games in which the co-op mode has a canonical explanation. There are ten levels playable (an introductory cutscene and nine playable missions). The player can find [[Terminal/Halo 3|Terminals]] and [[Halo 3 Skulls|Skulls]], and change the game's difficulty either with the four traditional difficulties or with the Skulls. It is also the first game to introduce [[Campaign scoring]]. | In ''Halo 3'', the player controls the Master Chief.

Miutes after, the Flood attacks Earth but is sterilized. The UNSC and the Elites join their forces and battle the last Covenant forces on the Ark, culminating in the assassination of the Prophet of Truth.

The Chief retrieves Cortana and they set out to activate a newly built Halo ring, [[Installation 08]], to destroy the local infestation. During the escape, the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} is cut in half by the Portal, with the forward section crashing on Earth with the Arbiter and the aft section being lost in space, with the Chief and Cortana aboard. The Spartan waits in cryosleep until the UNSC find and rescue them, meanwhile the Human-Covenant War is declared over. | ||
