***SPOILERS***




I just finished it and im a little confused

1. What are the flood? why were they created?

2. Wtf is Gravemind and what excactly is he trying to do?

3. What was the whole Heretic part about? What was he trying to do on the old destroyed Halo?

4. Why did the forerunners build Halo? what is it's purpose? I know it's a weopon

5. Why did the Covenant break up and start civil war with eachother?

I tryed to the fallow the plot but found it hard to understand wtf is going on with all the political and religous -blam!- going on. Also I couldn't really hear what the characters were saying.

1. What are the flood? why were they created?

I'm not sure if the Flood were created by the forerunners, but whether or not they were they fought a war against the forerunners and the forerunners weren't doing to hot.

2. Wtf is Gravemind and what excactly is he trying to do?

It is the brain of the flood. Controls their every move and decision. We don't know all of it's intentions, but I doubt it wants to drink coffee and eat doughnuts with us.

3. What was the whole Heretic part about? What was he trying to do on the old destroyed Halo?

He wasn't on the old halo, he was on a forerunner lab of sorts. And that's where he was trying to turn the Elites to his cause. He had the right idea, but for the wrong intentions.

4. Why did the forerunners build Halo? what is it's purpose? I know it's a weopon

Actually it's a "weapon", but it was to starve out the flood of resources, if it kills all that they can use for more of them. Then they can't reproduce. I know it's kinda like burning your house down because a forest fire's coming, but at least you can get your valuables before it gets there.

5. Why did the Covenant break up and start civil war with eachother?

Because the prophets were using the elites, and every other race. That and the prophets tried to have a very bloody genocide by having the brutes murder every elite there as a cause to replace the guard.
P.S. Sorry for spoilers, but had to.......

the forerunners apparently built the halos to contain and stop the flood. The covenant accidentally let the flood loose, as you saw in guilty spark in halo 1. The only way to kill the flood is to get rid of its food source, namely all other organisms in the universe. Which is what the halos are designed to do, destroy everything except an unknown area known as the ark, where the forerunners meant to hide. There is a civil war, because the prophets, who were the leaders of all covenant, want to go on their "great journey" which involves firing the halos and unleashing the flood. The elites, who are smarter realize that allowing the prophets to do so would be not so good, so they do the only thing they can, join MC.

Gravemind is apparently a massive flood blob thing that is the brain behind all the flood and has some mysterious agenda of his own. He has now captured cortana.

The heretic was one who disagreed with the prophets early on, and was killed for that. The arbiter is now realizing that the heretic was correct and is now defying the prophets as well.

The heratics were a grup of scavengers sent to there to gather "holy relics".There they met up with 343GS and were told the true purpose of hale. they turned against the high counsel and the prophets got pissed off that they might tell others of the truth so they sent the arbiter to "quell the hericy".

The civil war(CCS for short) was saused when the MC killed regret . The prophets decided that the brutes should be the guards not the elites. The elites got pissed because they have been the prophets loyal guards for thousands of years. Then the elites declared war on the prophets. so we have to wate to see who wins (my money is on the elites...)_

I don't even remember where I heard this, but somewhere along the line I heard some rumor that Cortana was going to turn evil, join the Gravemind and take over the galaxy. Don't quote me on this though.

If you play Halo: CE for the pc, there's a lot less drama and a lot more action.

to fully undersand this BS, you have to read the books which are the fornicated dreams of Bungie and only feed their fast-growing halo monopoly.

In my opinion, the storyline for Halo 2 is worse than Halo one. it looks like stargate. and once you really look deep into it, it's nothing like Halo: CE. Halo: CE has this, "we are outnumbered and out-gunned-- let's get the hell out of here and blow up this ring!!" kind of feeling where your odds are thousands to one. The teaser trailers for Halo 2 xbox have this feeling that says "Save earth from annihalation! the covenant have already scattered and destroyed it's armies! You are it's only hope!". It even say's on the back ot the case for H2vista...
"The destruction of Halo slowed the covenant, but it did not stop them. Fueled by faith, fury and vengeance, they have swept aside all of our defenses and gained a foothold on the most precious prize of all-- Earth. With the human military scattered and crushed, the fate of the planet lies in the hands of one man. Spartan117-- the Master Chief. But resourceful and tenacious as he is, the Master Chief will have to rely on new weapons, unexpected allies and a secret so incredible, it will change the Galaxy forever."

But in actuality, Halo 2 has this "optimistic" feel to it that's like "we're going to another Halo ring, we're gonna explore it - YAY!!! ^_^" which makes the story look more like it's a delay and a purge for more money by ensuring the third installment in the Halo Trilogy. And less of this "Rambo in Space" feeling that Halo: CE had.

my roflknife goes sliceslicesliceslice

I never payed attention much to the story of Halo Ce. I just played it and would do different things. Such as if you kill you're commander at the start of the game on the ship these un killable solders come after you. My only beef with Halo CE was i was looking forward to seeing halo blow up. then it does and they did not show it in detail. The halo ring just looks white and you see a big chunk come off ans smash into the still intact side.I want more detail and I want a bigger boom.
