I think they should pull the plug on the Halo franchise already. It's been the same thing over and over since the first one, and the story is pretty weak to begin with. If it wasn't for the multiplayer, Halo would already be dead. 2, 3 and ODST might has well been expansion packs.

What is the story anyway?

Yeah that's right. Pull the plug right when there are some unanswered questions. Good logic. :roll:

The answers in question don't matter. Who cares what happens? The story is an after thought. It's just sloppy writing so they can sell you on a new game to play multiplayer. If there was no multiplayer, it wouldn't have made it past the second game.

Just hope you know that the first didn't support XBL, but the second did so no it would have made it tis far with out MP. maybe it wouldn't have been as big as it is now but it'd be here none the less.

I see you ignored my question. And I had no idea stories made for7 games, 6 novels, 6 comics, and an anime anthology were "after thoughts". :P

halo actually has its own culture its kinda creepy and very strange but it just shows that the story is important in halo, that along with the canon and the canon freaks that come with it show that the halo story is a pretty important partof the game.

If people are dumb enough to keep paying for it then why not keep the gravy train rolling?

I think that insult and that fact that you dodge my questions indicate something.

What question exactly? What is the story? Humans vs. Aliens on a scale that has been so stretched out and watered down that it has lost all meaning.

They should announce it later this year, since Rare has "surprises".

You've certainly demonstrated you know how to distill a story down absurdly to it's most atomic parts.

There's more to it than it. But you don't seem very informed on this matter so I'll just let you be. No more feed for you.

I don't see why it bothers you so much as to keep making derogatory remarks about the Halo franchise, if people enjoy the games, they aren't "dumb" like you've said. ODST was actually an expansion/spin-off, but Halo 2 and 3 weren't. Reach is the biggest Halo in terms of improvement and change in the gameplay and features, so you can't call it an expansion at all. More like 2 games on one disc.

I'd say ODST is probably my biggest complaint about the series so far. Full retail price for a pretty short campaign that wasn't much more than a "go here, do this" story and a few new maps. They could have done so much more with it, but I feel like they really took advantage of the Halo community.

I fail to see how the community was taken advantage of when the community doesn't feel that way.

That will be awesome, maybe GDC or VGA's heck Gamesom has a chance. only thing that could be better is a conker sequel. that would be GOTY for whatever year it comes out in (to me atleast, as long as the don't mess it up) well actually every year that isn't this year (halo reach has my GOTY)

789Shadow=community spokesperson? Really, ODST was nothing more than a view of what happened on earth. To me it just felt underutilized.

You don't exactly represent the community either, so I would avoid talking about what the community thinks.

VGA doesn't sound too far off, GDC and Gamescon aren't highly likely but we may be surprised by it. And yes, Conker would rule.

[QUOTE="Zaibach"]

here I thought they finished the fight

SpiritOfFire117

If Chief and Cortana floating towards some alien world (possibly Forerunner) didn't give you that impression, then I don't know what to say honestly.

To be fair you had to beat the game on Legendary and stick through the credits to even know about that. Not everyone sees these extra endings.

I guess they could pull some stuff like some forerunner survived and they've been growing in population, biding their time on this planet. Now they want their Empire back and Earth too so we're forced to go to war with them, and Master Chief's arrival on their planet forces them to accelerate their plans. Maybe Elites will possibly come to our side and help. Maybe even some other Covenant races will help out too because they feel bad when they realized their leaders were blind religious zealots and they killed all us humans for nothing (though Brutes probably won't help us).

If they want to change up the formula a bit (which I recommend because they won't be able to live up to Reach's high standards without Bungie, imo), Halo 4 could be an espionage sort of game and incorporate a lot of stealth, while Master Chief looks for information on the Forerunner's motives, weaknesses, etc. Then the game could end with Master Chief dying to send the information to Earth, making way for a new protagonist in Halo 5, mixing things up more. I like to rant.

I cant see where the halo story can go after halo 3's ending. Unless they call the game something like "Master Chiefs Adventures".

LOL! Stealth Chief, I can imagine the chief as snake and cortana as otocon already. "Cortana, m psych is low :( I can't keep my Aim steady :O" "chief? I'm an AI, i can't really do much for you. And it's not like there's internet here."
