jib dont be dumb.i seriously doubt there will be any other Halo games.from whats been released about the story,the final missions will end the Covenant threat.and dont ask about the Flood or Halo cuz those are also taken care of.
No they weren't.There are other Halos, and maybe more Flood on the other Halos.


i meant theyre gonna be taken care of in Halo 2.i typed it wrong

well i say that console games should stay on consoles.all the others,like Perfect Dark and Splinter Cell sucked ass on GBA,but were awesome on their console,whatever that might have been.the only console games that actuallt worked on GBA was the Super Mario series,and maybe a few others,but i dont wanna get in-depth about that.

yea i think there would be more flood ,cuz the reason for halo (the planet) is to keep the flood under control,,all thoe in halo 2 there might be more differnt kinds of flood ,,lyke agrunt flood,brute flood ,or jackel flood or any other alien dat pops out in halo 2...

Let's hope Bungie gets more creative than that. So what if there's MORE Halos, MORE flood and MORE covenant? If the plot doesn't go anywhere new, I'll be pretty upset with Bungie

Until there's a handheld capapble of running Halo without having to dumb it down I don't think a handheld version should even be considered. I can't see why people were actually excited about it... I mean, imagine a poorly drawn MC sprite running around in a pixelated Blood Gulch.

...wait a minute, that would be damn cool :P

I figured it would have been like Contra or Metroid which are two excellent games, but now that I think about it I don't think Bungie could have made a game near as good as either of those.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Perfect Dark sucked on the GBC, not the GBA. But the GBA can't do a good FPS for two reasons:
because of it's crazy resolution. Doom was enjoyable, but enemies and objects look demented in the distance.
It does not have the joypad for it. It is impossible to have a seemless look around with four buttons and an eight way directional pad. The Nintendo DS may change that if they make clever use of the touch screen, but it seems pretty dumb to me to port dumb to me to port the game to the GBA if you care about quality control.

So dumb perhaps that this story could be ultra disregarded and you should all update to SP2 where microsoft has an internet explorer BSblocker.

Good can you imigine the other GBA turned games. Resident Evil, Perfect Dark, Splinter Cell, they're horrible. Though I have seen some intresting idea for .........Looks neat but dont expect it to come out or be super cool like HAL0

Not really, the game boy color was not capable of half the things the gba is capable of. I'm 95% sure that if perfect dark had been a gba game it would have been alot better. The castlevania games on the game boy and the game boy color weren't that great, but the the castlevania games on the game boy advance are amazing. There is no reason why a hand held halo wouldn't work, so long as it wasn't a fps. The music could easily be good, look at mega man 2. That was on NES and had one of the greatest video game scores ever. I realize it won't happen but what I don't understand is why everyone here thinks it would suck. Metroid Prime turned out to be a good first person game, I don't see any reason why Halo wouldn't be at the very least a decent 2-D side scroller.

But It could be possible without making it horrble in anyway. Now just listen to my opinion, Not thinking about the hand helds today.(GBA, N-Gage) Think of the future. Where they may have made a handheld type game where you wear a head piece or maybe not even that.
And all you see is the image. They might have it where you just think of what you want to do, or they may even have a mode like in Jason X, where the people sit in a circle and there bodys are not moved. They have a digital image of themselves in a game. Like making your self into the game litteraly. (cough VR cough) Now that would make the game work on so many levels.

Frankie you are messing with our minds you said no Game Boy version but you said absolutly nothing about the GBA. Maybe you should be more specific.

Couldn't happen. Master Chief was the only Spartan to go to Halo. Cool idea though.

ya but in the prelude book to halo, it say's when he wakes up that another Spartan might live even though he/she (I can't remember if it's a guy or a girl) is in really bad condition. So it could be possible that he meets the Spartan sometime during Halo 2.
