Subject: Halo 3's Story-line all ready written since Halo 1?

I saw a picture a long time ago on Halo 1 when I was playing. I read the bulletin board, and it says fight for her (Obviously referring to Cortanna in the future). Then the Earth turned to South America. (Which must mean Halo 3's story line has been around since halo 1 doesn't it? Heres a picture of the bulletin board. Can anyone explain if this is strange or just tell me whats going on.. becuase im just confused. Link

"Her" is the Earth. The poster means you're "Fighting for the Earth".

I find it absolutely necessary to do this.

I guess I could add "QFT "or "Agreed." Would that somehow be more valuable? Maybe I could rewrite it with different words. I was expressing agreement. If someone disagreed with that statement, I was saying, "Hey! You're disagreeing with me too!" Perhaps there would be no controversy here, but if there were, I was making my side known. Maybe this issue could cause a civil war within this forum; one can never know for sure how these things will play out. My stance is firm and unwavering. It is untainted by QFTs or attempts to rewrite what has already been stated. I've prepared for this forum civil war, and I've squashed any rumors of perceived neutrality.

Her means Cortana, and that's South Africa. Yes, I do believe that it was all planned out years before it was shipped.

I havent played halo 3, but there were definitly hints that the Halo story would go on. By the way, that isn't south america on that poster, that would be Africa. (Ironically, Africa is where the human species originated from)

Hmm...If you're spaking about the continent on the Earth shown, that would be Pangaea. Pangaea was the original landmass on the Earth, a Supercontinent. Looks like they just wanted to fit in as much land as possible.


But the poster still means you're fighting for Earth. Plus, Cpt. Keyes states that locations of planets cannot fall to the Covenant, especially Earth.

That's also where the portal is and the man saw the "gods" creating their masterpieces.

I grew up playing your games Bungie, and I sure as hell am looking forward to whatever you decide to do next.

I know you guys hate this, but this thread deserves a *facepalm*

It's just a poster telling you to fight for earth. There are no hints about Halo 3 anywhere on that board, although I did find the "Marines, keep it clean" rather interesting, since the superintendent has been saying that, minus the marines obviously.

I don't know if they had the WHOLE story written and planned out. I mean, they really didn't expect Halo:CE to be as much of a success as it really did become. Maybe when they were making Halo 2, they were already working on Halo 3. To me, that makes sense.

It was not.

Bungie just have very clever writers.

Right on.
Writing something is usually anything but a linear process.
All kinds of things get cut or altered. Especially when fitting it into a working game is involved.
One of the Special Ed. DVD's had a segment where the Bungie folks said the idea for a prophet was in place for H-1, but they scrapped it. It would've been 'an Elite wearing a different helmet.' (I suspect this design was reused for the council members.)

No, her is talking about Earth.

I thought the poster was a campaign made by the UNSC to get people to join the Marines, never thought past that...
