News by Wesley Yin-Poole Deputy Editorial Director Updated on 2 Mar 2021 37 comments 14 years after it came out, Halo 3 is getting back bling. Taking a page out of the Fortnite playbook, Halo 3 is getting a raft of new customisation options, including what are called back accessories. These new customisation options, which do not affect gameplay, are live now in the Halo: The Master Chief Collection flight (the version of the game where upcoming features are tested). Watch on YouTube Most of the currently-available back accessories are in-keeping with Spartan armour (check some of them out on Halo Waypoint). But there are a couple standout pieces. There's the pulaski (a special hand tool used in fighting wildfires which combines an axe and an adze in one head): And, most eye-catching of all, the Sword and Board, which Halo fans will surely recognise: That's right, you can actually run around Halo 3 multiplayer with the Halo Legendary difficulty symbol strapped to your back now. What a world we live in. You can see all this back bling in action in the video below from YouTuber UberNick: Halo 3 gets back bling, then, after Master Chief got it in Fortnite. Watch on YouTube Back bling isn't the only new thing coming to Halo 3. The game is getting two new multiplayer maps - 12 years since the last new maps were added. These maps are incorporated from Halo Online. Halo Online was the free-to-play PC Halo game based on Halo 3 multiplayer and developed by Saber Interactive that Microsoft pulled offline before it got a full release. Lots happening in the world of Halo 3, then. Expect developer 343 to announce when this will all go live to all players soon.
