We've always been huge Halo fans here at Retro Dodo Towers. I grew up playing these games with my friends at school, getting in a quick deathmatch before exams and playing when we should have been revising.
We ranked the Halo games back in 2022 and put Halo 3 in a respectable 4th position, taking us back to 2007 when the game first released. But if you live in Glendale, Colorado and want an even bigger reminder of what it felt like when this game came out, then just head down to your local GameStop, where you'll find an original promotional mural that was put up when the game launched.
The Glendale GameStop branch has had this mural up on the wall since 2007; that's almost two decades of the Master Chief looking out over the citizens of Colorado and keeping them safe. The mural itself shows some explosive firepower and the Master Chief looking awesome as usual, and the GameStop X account has assured the rest of the world that the store won't be taking the mural down anytime soon.
We’ll take it down when something better comes out. https://t.co/4uzvNmCuKA

The Halo 3 mural has brought gaming fans from all over the United States to Glendale to check it out, acting as a sort of Microsoft-based pilgrimage site. It's definitely made me go back and replay some Halo before writing this article, and I love that a store on the other side of the world from me is making a stand and keeping retro alive for new generations.
