This is a short guide mainly for the Multiplayer of Halo 3.
This Halo 3 guide was written long ago, so excuse any grammar mistakes and all that. You can find the original guide on IGN here.

Game Mechanics
Halo 3 uses simplistic mechanics for playing the game. You play as a futuristic cyborg marine or alien wearing a suit of armor. You will always have a shield unless you play on a special game type. In order to kill other players you have to take down the shield and then injure them enough to kill them. Some weapons are so powerful that they do both. You can jump high distances and even fall from higher distances without being hurt. Some distances can be too far making you fall to your death. All weapons, minus the shotgun and mauler, do the same damage at range that they do up close. Few weapons do extra damage when shooting the head. You cannot shoot through walls. There are some barriers here and there that will protect you as much as walls but you can see through them. That’s more or less a rundown of the game mechanics.
