I am, instead they decide to have Marvel make a 4 part comic series bringing us into Halo 3. I really wanted to continue right from where Master Chief says "Sir, finishing this fight!". Now I cant and im upset!.

Proof? Link? Anything that proves that H3 doesn't pick up where H2 left off?

It would be nice to have it pick up where #2 left off, butthis will give players a wider view of the Halo universe.

i forget where I read it but it was an official gaming website like Teamxbox maybe. Also Halo Uprising is the comic series if you wanna research that.

How come every time I ask someone to back up something they post with proof or a link, they always say they "forgot" where they read it???

I'm not calling you a liar or anything, but there is nothing on Bungie.net that backs up your claims & I've been around these forums long enough to know that unless you have a solid link proving it, then I won't believe it until I get it directly from the horse's mouth.

The game will not begin right where Halo 2 left off. According to an interview with Brian Bendis of Marvel Comics, the new comic, Halo: Uprising, will take place between the ending of Halo 2, and the beginning of Halo 3.[citation needed] This comic may explain how the Chief got his new armor, and give players a chance to choose their control settings at the beginning of the game, as the previous two did.
Thats what I read.

I think this was probably decided because so many gamers were complaining about the alternate story line with playing as teh Coenant Arbiter - by just letting that part of the story finish in the comics, it makes it so they don't have to incorporate it into Halo 3 as part of the gameplay. Personally I liked that part of H2 but most didn't. The developers are just listening to the fans - that's all.

This is totally conjecture - just what I speculate to be the case. :)

Thats fine with me, Halo 2 didn't start up where Halo 1 left off, they used a book to incorporate the two but to be honest you didn't need to read the book to know what was going on.

Well, Halo CE didn't end like Halo 2 did. Halo CE ending = Halo destroyed and that's it, Halo 2 ending = on a Covenant ship going back to Earth, kind of a cliffhanger. I think a lot of people would prefer to start with Master Chief getting off of that ship or maybe even commandeering the ship, which would be a hell of a lot of fun. I'd rather finish the fight starting from Halo 2 than read about someone else getting to finish part of my fight.

Well, H2 had a terrible ending- it's no big deal if they skip ahead in time for the next one.

It's not like anyone with a PC and 'the Google' couldn't find out the missing plot...
