Mess with the best, die like the rest...
You guys must be studying the uh, abridged Book of Ninja Fighting.
I mean, come on... How do you guys expect to beat me?
First off, this is my first post and I couldn't find the new topic button. Anyway, I agree with the post I replyed to, I never really liked Gears of War, but being able to talk to your team without holding d-up was incredibly useful.
Now for my main point, I bought the Halo 3 Legendary and I don't even own a 360, which should show how much I love the entire Halo franchise. I only got to play through the campaign once (splitscreen, and with two other seperate players), and because the sound was messing up with my splitscreen, I wasn't able to hear all of the cutscenes clearly so I could have missed something. Alright, with the background out of the way, I was under the impression that in H3 you activated the Halo on Earth to kill off the Flood. But according to everything else Halo, activating a Halo would only kill off the sentient life within range. Basically as it was phrased by Bungie, you would starve the Flood to death, which would take time. In the game, the Halo on Earth killed the flood instantly, and as a bonus would have killed every covenant within its range also. I asked a friend about this, and he said that because the Halo was incomplete, that it actually just blew up, but that would leave all of the covenant and, INEVITABLY, some flood on earth. The humans and elites who evac'd from Earth immediately came back for that ceremony cutscene before the credits, but there was no mention of the flood or remaining covenant, and judging by what we've seen of the Brutes, they wouldn't flee simply because Truth was killed.
So my question: Did the Halo activate or blow up, and how did it get away with the stuff that it did. I've been trying to puzzle through this since the day I played the game, and I can't figure it out. PLEASE HELP ME BUNGIE, YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE! MY FAITH IS WANING...
