''' | A '''clan''' is an organized group 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 [[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 [[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. | ||
