Halo 3 Epsilon[1] is an internal-only Halo 3 build.

It was released to Microsoft employees as of August 10, 2007, and featured campaign (both single-player and cooperative gameplay) on the level Tsavo Highway as well as Forge, and multiplayer on six maps: Epitaph, High Ground, Last Resort, Sandtrap, Snowbound, and Valhalla. [2][3].

Halo 3 Epsilon was confirmed to some degree later on August 10th 2007 by Bungie Studios on a Bungie Podcast. Microsoft employees, Xbox.com representatives, and the Bungie Studios staff have been playing it, and Bungie employees used this build to finish the final details of the game. It was over on the 29th of August 2007, when Halo 3 went gold.

In a bizzare occurance, a non-Bungie player (gamertag: |Scar|) inadvertantly downloaded Halo 3 Epsilon prior to the release of Halo 3. When Microsoft discovered that he was using the software, he became banned from Xbox Live until December 31, 9999- a ban of 6,993 years.
