There are many weapons in [[Halo 3]], both different and the same from the previous two games.
Spartans are trained to use any weapon found on the battlefield-Human or otherwise. This training and philosophy means that resupply is always just one victory away. Efficient and deadly, Spartans often look at opposing forces as a kind of mobile weapons cache.

=Support weapons=
Halo 3 introduces the idea of Support weapons, large weapons that require the player to be controlled in third person view. Players cannot melee, nor throw grenades while using these weapons. A turret is typically activated by pressing {{xbox|RB}}. A  Spartan, however, is strong enough to tear off these weapons (press {{xbox|B}} while using the turret) and use them almost like rifles. When detached, these weapons have limited ammunition capacity.
