It's irrelevant to ask how you think it WILL end, as no one has any idea what Bungie has up their sleeve, but how would you like to see it end?

I'd like to see a tragic ending where MC sacrafices himself or gives his life to save the rest of humanity. I just think it's a fitting end for MC, he always threw himself on the line for others anyways.

i'm for that.. truthfully, it -is- the worst feeling to have the main character, such as the MC, ripped away from you.. but it's also the most emotional end. it's like when Aeris died in Final Fantasy 7.. i almost cried, and i know people who really did. it makes for an amazing ending to an amazing series, on any saga. even with the prospect of a Halo 3 out of the picture.

I would like MC to give his life for the sake of humanity, but not actually see him die. This is not necessarily how i want H2 to end but the Halo saga ( i dont want to cross out the 'Halo trilogy' theory ). I mean, if he doesn't die what else is he going to do when the covenent threat is eliminated. He wont go to a civilian life, his life is in the military and as the last Spartan his skills would be wasted on anything thats not a threat to mankind.

I think it should not be a disney ending but a ending were there couldn't go on because after a while it would be boring and predictable on halo 3. I mean i like how halo 2 looks and like the game play of halo but come on look at all the stuff you can do in halo 2 and thats just a little that they let out. how could they out do halo 2 i mean all the graphics and all the weapons. If it keeps going on it soon will get boring.

i'm sure they said that when the games went from the Atari to the Nintendo, then to the Super Nintendo.. "eventually games will get boring, and no one will buy them."

i think there will be a peace between mankind and covenant or at least a truce so in that respect a happy disney ending. but, master chief and the spartans die in the process amoung billions of humans and the peace is on thin ice. therefore its at a great sacrafice and leaves it open for halo 3 but making it so there doesn't have to be a halo 3 as the story has ended.

yeah maybe but i still think it'll end because it kinda has to something big is gonna happen and ur gonna be in a humongous battle i think against the flood and covenant intertwined and then the humans are gonna win using the thing that the forerunners want on earth and MC and cortana will live happily ever after

When I was younger and played doom when the main characters bunny dies i cryed...very hard I mean it wasn't even the main character it was his bunny damnit!!!!!Why! any way It would be a cool ending if in Halo 3 Mc sacrafices himself and destroys the covie all together.

well... the ending for halo 2, has to contend with the bad ass halo 1 ending.... how do you top that badass warthog run?....

how about a warthog, banshee, tank, ww3 ending..

if you think about about all the story elements that have to occur to make halo 2 the last halo game i'd be suprised if there was not a halo 3...

here is what has to happen in halo 2 for there not to be a halo 3.

1) explain how MC got to earth.

2) MC defending earth.

3) MC boards convenant ship

4) MC takes over ship, finds out information on halo and/or convenant homeworld.

5) MC goes to new halo and or/convenant homeworld.

6) conflict somehow is resolved between convenant and humans.

7) forerunners are explained.

that is alot of story to tell it one game... i would cry tears of joy if halo was 20 or more levels and explained everything i have desired to know... but my head tells me there will be a halo 3.... think about it... halo is the x-boxs franchise... 4 million copies sold at 50 bucks a game (average)... that's ALOT of money my friends...

Tragic sacrifice would mean no Halo 3. So I say tragic sacrifice is in Halo 3 fools.

I'd say we blow up the covie planets with hydrogen boombs and some kind of "new" nuke.

We really don't know the ending until we play it, but I don't see why there shouldn't be a Halo 3. Bungie is made up of highly original game developers and if other companies like Square Enix can make the Final Fantasy Series, then why can't Bungie make Halo 3? I think that making games is kind kind of like art. You have to appeal to the customers (fans), but also do something that has never been done before, because eventually some one will buy it.

I think he will give his life. Maybe by jumping into halos reactor core just as its about to go off. But on the other hand he could kill the covenent leaders and die trying to get out as the covies close in on his position and detonates a nuke. He could be in a ship or on there home world. Also maybe he gets infected with the flood spores just as he saves the world an then kills himself. But if your going though master cheif withdrawal then play the game agian after being curled up in the fetal position for 2 hours crying "mommy where the cheif i tell me where he is."

I think that it should end in some kickass way that the covie's get their asses kicked, but earth is still alive. Then John goes to destroy the covie homeworld, which is the story for Halo 3.

But, there should definitely be a Halo 3. The series CAN'T stop at Halo 2. It just can't.

Dude, Enix barely joined with Squaresoft in time to help make Final Fantasy X-2.
So there were like 14 games that just Squaresoft made in the final fantasy series, Square Enix like what? 2?

I wouldnt mind having a Halo 3, but realisitically (developer-wise) I dont think it will happen. Bungie has already said they're not doing another FPS for a while, they've been doing this one great FPS epic for so long they need a break, so if there were a Halo 3, it wouldnt be FPS. Besides, from the way it looks now, nothing will surpass this game, so making a new one would just be adding story content that could be resolved now, so just play Halo 2 over and over again, heh

The best ending for the last game of the halo trilogy would be MC taking off his armor, strapping tons of frags to him,then as he nears whatever huge thing hes gonna blow up stick a plasma to himself and run into some giant thing that will destroy the entire universe, ending the carnage once in for all, destorying the covies but also killing everything else so nobody else would have to go through any pain. So yeah, i voted tragic sacrifice.

[color=gold]I would like to see Halo2 end in a "Heroic but Costly Victory".
(I get tired of Hollywood movie endings where a gob of people die, and only two or one survivor left.)

I would like to see MC survive. He come's out ragged war torn. etc. He goes on to partially retire from his duties, being somewhat crippled from this horrible hellashish battle with the main covie forces, and flood. He goes on to become the captain of a ship like captain keyes was, having his own crew etc. And there mission to wipe out the straglers of the remaining covie forces and to make sure any flood spores are not left anywhere in other possible ring worlds. And this is the beginning of Halo3, lol.

.... or something like that.
LoL. Of course this is just my humble opinion, and that is all it is. You people can ignore it and make no comments. XP

But whatever happen's I really would hate to see such a character as MC get snuffed out only in a second game. Ah, but whatever happens, I am positive Bungie will deliever it in all its glory.

I would like to see it as MC goes in a Covenant ship looks at stuff and flys to their home planet. HE would would hit the plant and it would go KAPOWEE

well Mc dying would kinda suck but still

  • 06.20.2004 9:37 PM PDT

Somehow, I believe MC will make the ultimate sacrifice to destroy the Covenant, but Cortana will remain and she will explain to future people (until she "dies") of how MC stopped the Covenant from destorying the human race. Now THAT would be cool.
