i think ppl are not liking them because they played halo 2 maps for 3 years and knew about every single square foot of them, where ppl spawned, and where all the weapons were at all times, and because they don't know these maps off by heart they just dissmiss them as bad, it's human nature to see somthing new as strange. the only one i don't like is isolation.wreak

i agree with you a hundred percent. i love all of the halo 3 maps, they just needmore.

i have read the books, thats why im pissed off we never learned what happened to the spartans on the inside out planet.

the ark has more purpose than just firing the rings. the incomplete instilation 04 proves that. theres more there than the game wanted to show us or go into.

why did it suddenly become ok to fire the rings off...it completly negates what MC did in both of the games befor hand.

then what happened to the forunner. they said humans are forrunner...but why are we so dumb and lack the technology. theres far too many holes for me to be happy about what little halo3 solved...which was what the thing on earth did.

again i'll help you out, the ark is like the master station for all the halos. it can rebuild and repair other halos or anything like that . when the instalation found out that truth was going to fire the halos it needed to build a replacement so the wepon ( all the halos firing together) would be complete. now master chief wanted tofire the unfinished halo ring because that would destroy all the halos, the ark, and flood. the humans don't have the technology as the forerunners because most of them died the ones that lived didnt know how to do all that stuff. for instance , lets say that i make cars.andi have a baby boy. now if i die, will he be able to make cars if no one is there to teach him. no, he will have to learn everything from the begining. similar the the forerunners

i will agree with you that we do not know what happens the the other spartans but that will probably be revieled in later books.

[QUOTE="seeddrmmr"]No plot? What about the FOUR novels I have sitting on my bookshelf right now?What about the three games that fit in seamlessly with the novels? This topic fails. So does the creator.GlassDominion

thank you. really the halo story stands pretty good alone. now if you read the novels and the "iris" thing that bungie did. plus the terminals, you get a really great storyline

once again this was NOT about the halo universe. it was about halo3.

it had barely enough plot to fill 5 hours of a run n gun game.

about all it answered was what the thing on earth did.

my understanding of what the ark is, remains incomplete, what happened to the forrunner etc.

to help you out, the ark is where one can fire all of the halo rings. the forerunners (humans)fired the halo rings after they made them to hopefully killed the flood, now you are probably thinking ' if halo destroys human life, how come ther are humans' well they put some forerunnners in onyx ( a planet that also serves as a secret shield agaisnt the halo rings)

i know you don't like the idea about reading the books and all that, but imagine everything in the halo universe was a game, including the books, you can't expect to know whats going on if youskip some games (books) like you can't expect to know whats going on if you only play halo and halo3 and you skip halo 2

as for gears of war, if you play the game by itself, yes the story will be really confusing. but if you read the little art book that came with the limited edition, it will make much more sense. the art book may be small but it will help a lot.

As for plot though, you can't really expect a big games like gears or halo to put their entire storyline into a game.you have to read the books and maybe watch a really bad movie, but when you do thestoryline will be really great

BEST GAME EVER!!! the name HALOID

then master chief and samus fall in love and has a baby boy, and when that boy is born he will be inside a mark vi chozo armor.

i know there are more than 1 spartan but in one of the videos it actually says that that 1is the master chief.

and i'm pretty sure that the peter jackson project or whatever is going to be set in the halo universe but won't feature any main character, plus it is all aboout halo 3 they evenused it in their commercials, so i'm pretty sureitdoesn't have anything to do another storyline
