I'm numb, the only words that come to mind right now are WTF, seriously WTF, I'm about to throw my xbox and halo 2 out the freaking window. What the fraking heck is up with that? I never expected bungie to sell out to microsoft like this, the ENDING BLOWS THE BIGGEST CHUNKS EVER, thats no end, thats the worst frekaing clif hanger end the world has ever seen, I'd rather have waited another year for a real ending. Its like they just cut the game in half.

look at this quote I found "We'll show you a capability inside the Office System today that delivers on what we call Information Rights Management. We're working on the next version -- I hate to tell you this confidentially but I'll have to swear you to secrecy now -- we're working on the next version of Xbox right now and we're working on Halo 2 and Halo 3, the two newest versions of the game."

black and white on microsofts own site... halo 3.

I bet the SOB's are using this as a plot to boost xbox 3 sales...

WAit were is the spoiler? I don't own halo 2 and If I did I would only care about multiplayer so I want a Spoiler!
 
Yep. It's one of those "you'll hate it" or "you'll love it" endings. And I'm sure it is a marketing scheme. I always had a filling there would be a Halo 3. Hopefully the FINAL Halo game. You'll probably end up invading the Covenant and killling them.

OK so you play as the master chief and the convenant in single player. First a few coventant shipd accidentally come to earth, they didn't still expect it to be colonized. cutting all the bull, you kick their asses hard, and it wasnt the full on invasion you saw in the E3 trailers, it was a few ships, very dissapointing. So you end up on one of the ships and teleport and find another halo ring (big surprise right?) Next up you take the role of the comander who controled the covenant on the original halo, he is branded as a heritic for failing, they strip him of his armor and brand him with some mark. Later they make him an "arbiter" and give him a special mission to retrieve the key to activate a second halo. Which they belive will make them gos or take them to heaven or whatever, they dont seem to accept that its a weapon. so you fight your way through, doing all the hard work getting the key then the brutes which are the new gorilla looking aliens on the block take the key away. It seems that the prophets (the convenant leaders) favor the brutes over the elites and the brutes start taking over their positions as gaurds and whatnot. So yeah you can imagine their not happy. Back the the cheif, you need to stop them from activating halo and destroying the universe so you follow one of the prophets to kill him. a large ship comes to blow the place up and you barley escape jumping into the ocean and slowly sinking and end up being grabbed by a very large creature ind pulled into its lair. Back to the alien he is betrayed and ends up in that creatures den too. The creature says that we must stop halo from being activated and teleports the cheif right into the middle of the covenant base, where there is a huge war going on between the elietes teamed up with the hunters (the big blue linbacker looking thigns with the spikes on their backs)and the grunts (the coward little ones). Anyway they team up and fight the brutes who have teamed up with those guys who carry the shields and they fight each other more than they fight you. BUt the guys with the key get away. Back as the alien you end up teaming up with that seargent guy (the cool black guy always talking crap) to stop them from inserting the key into halo you get throught the level and into a confrontation with the brutes/prophets trying to tell them halo is a weapon. Zooms back to the cheif who now also has to deal with the flood (those other annoying alien bastards) and make it off the planet. Cortana ends up staying behind so should anything happend she can overload the engine and blow up the ship just like they did before. Anyway the chief ends up getting on a ship headed to attack earth. (now comes the full invasion) Back to the alien character, you fight the big boss brute who has already activated halo and it is charging up to fire. So you kick his ass and remove the key before tis to late. It cuts to an FMV of halo firing a blue ball shoots up into a large yellow glowing mass in the center hitting it and causing an explosion that just fizzes out, you grabbed the key just in time. Only to find out that ther are actually 7 halo rings and should one be deactivated mid sequence like this one was they all prime up and get ready to fire from a remote location. Back to the cheif you see an FMV of the ship he's on apearing near earth with tons of other ships for an invasion. he talks to the commander by radio and he asks him what the heck hes doing on the covenant ship and the cheif says something along the lines of "I'm here to finish it" and boom roll the credits.

My Jaw hit the floor, I was pissed, I watched the entire credits hoping it was all some zany bungie trick and at the end it would be like hahaha just kidding then continue the game but NOOOO. Evil bastards. So yeah, worst cliff hanger ending ever....
 
I gues it is kind of like the matrix 3. They build it up to be the end all thing and they just end up teaming up to kill smith, and delay the final battle. I was playing in my neighbors room (up to the point where master chief falls into the water and is grabbed by the squid thing). One of the prohpets mentioned some things which may be used as prequils. The taming of the hunter and the grunt revolution. halo 2 is good other than that though.

Bastards!! I hate games that do that.
 
The real basic story of the Covenant is a Civil War. The Prophets feel safer with the Brutes than even the Hunters. The Hunters just kick way more ass than you do on the last level.
 
HAHAHA !!! Im loving this, its well annoying that its ended like that but Im not going to say anything to my mate and see what he does when it finishes !!!!!
 
the ending sucked. no doubt about it. what made it particularly sucky though, is that the story had been excellent, and engrossing, with some great plot threads branching out with increasing depth.

then they kick you in the face and roll the credits. I WANT SOME SENSE OF CLOSURE YOU SICK BASTARDS!

Also, the pacing was a little too break-neck for my tastes. It's like the movie aliens compared to alien. Yes, it was an awesome, memorable, technically brilliant movie, but it lacked that slow building of tension and sense of mystery that the first film had, instead stuffing as much cool stuff into it and cranking it up to 11. Halo went hollywood. I love it and hate it at the same time.

anyway, back to the awesomeness that is multiplayer. actually, legendary is ****ing awesome as well.
 
I agree, as soon as I got Halo 2 I went to work playing it. the first day I got up to the part where the arbiter goes to get the icon, and the second day i finished off the game. When I finally got to the ending scene with chief in the forerunner ship, i actually expected the e3 level be be next, but the credits started to roll. Needless to say, I cursed very loudly then proceeded to chuck my controller into the television screen. Now I need a new tv...and controller. Seriously.
