Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

From the beginning, we know the end... or something like that.

I don't know what the ending will be like simply because of the fact that we don't know what the game will be like.

Obviously the planet doesn't continue to exist the way it did before the invasion. I would say that we'll see some big time glasses and explosions.

I'm definitely excited!

Signatures are for squares.

Either A: Follow Blue Team, and the end of the game is them holding out under castle base until Chief arrives in a spirit to save them.

Or B: Wharthog race down a massive area while the area behind you is being glassed, with you ultimantly dying in the end. (Such as halo 1 and 3, out run the glassing)

I want it to crush the ending of all 4 of the games combined. If Bungie is going to end the Halo Franchise with this, I want the ending to be good.

Maybe:

Halo 1's Explosion.
Halo 2 can go -blam!- itself.
Halo 3's emotional memorial.
Halo 3 ODST's revelation of loved characters and I want to see some more glassing.

It is my latest cultural research project! By randomly saying LOLWIN to semi-funny replies on the Halo 3 forum, I hypothesize that a temperary self-esteem boost will be present.

And once they read this, they will be a little worse off than before.

Last halo game made by bungie that is.

343 Industries is in charge of all halo stuff after Reach.

Maybe:

Halo 1's Epic race to the finish, battles, music and plot finishers. Also Explosions.
Halo 2 can go -blam!- itself. Except for the battle against Tatarus, which was pretty epic IMO.
Halo 3's wannabe emotional memorial which lost all impact when we knew chief was alive, johnson got fired by a light bulb, and Keyes didn't die in the most excruciating way possible. Also that lame rip off of Halo CE's run, which was preceded by the history of video gaming's worst boss ever.
Halo 3 ODST's revelation of loved characters and I want to see some more glassing. But had the most anti-climatic finale ever, crappy love and no high thrill action. Also the world's worst gunner, Buck.
Fixed.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Hope they dont listen to the fans again, like what happened in Halo 3 which ended up being basically the same thing as the ending to Halo 1 (the whole time race thing). Fun? Yes. Creative? No.

As for ending itself it would be nice to just have the game end with the PoA leaving and Reach getting screwed over. Since in a way thats "the end" which we know about from "the beginning".

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

I agree. I imagine the end of Reach calls for some pretty fireworks, lots of glassing. However, I hope it isn't a vehicle run to the finish. Instead, I'd like a massive firefight, one that ends with either the players death, or the player having to make a hasty retreat to the Ascendant Justice.

If its like the books, bigger.

Probably some of Team Beta members are escaping from glassing, thus giving us some hint of other surviving Spartans other than the ones in First Strike.

Lets not hold our breath though hey guys

Bungie are the best there is but every one of their glorious sequels has in some way disapointed

I'm not sure Bungie knows what it's truest fans wants but i sure would love to be proved very wrong

I just want a decent size to the campaign and a Halo that lets face it , we've all dreamed about since Halo1

I think what we will actually get from Bungie this time is their typically brilliant combat engine with some refinements and sensible additions, but with a campaign that while very good, yet again feels short and underwhelming in some way

All the sequels have improved the Halo mechanics engine in some way to the point that combat from both ODST and Halo3 is unmatched by any other dev, but none of the sequels retains an epic sense of journey like Halo1.

Halo1 may be ropey in a couple of areas if directly compared, but it's more an experience than the feeling that you're playing a game in Halo3 and to a lesser extent ODST

I honestly think Halo1 was just a massive fluke and while i know Bungie has it in then to replicate the magic once more, i doubt they ever will - again i so would like to eat humble pie here

Fingers crossed but my hopes aint high this time

I have been wanting a huge final battle ever since the pre-Halo 3 days. Give me an epic battle with a handful of Spartans and about 500+ covenant troops just charging. Maybe you dont have to kill them all but you might have to survive a really long time against wave after wave after wave with only a makeshift base.

They could have the Spartans have great AI as in getting behind a wall and waiting for their shields to recharge. If health is needed they could go and pick up a medkit (if there are medkits in the game and we get health back). Its a base or an outpost so have an arsenal with weapons, have some turrets, health and other powerups. If a group or banshees approaches, have the Spartans pick up a Spartan Lazer and have each Spartan pick off a different target (instead of both shooting the same one). If a Spartan gets on a Banshee, have another one cover him by taking out all other Banshees that might pose a threat. Give the Spartans near perfect aim, like they had in the books. Also, fix the whole Rocket Launcher problem (shooting the wall with the rocket launcher and killing themselves and teammates). If a Spartan is about to shoot, and another has to pass by the line of fire, have him jump underneath it.

We know that most Spartans died on Reach. Why not give the player the chance to fight in that final battle (the one where the MAC cannon generators get destroyed)?

Well, considering that they glassed a big part of the planet and Chief met up with Anton, Witcomb, Li and Grace which later led them to the group that was in Castle Base, we hear nothing else of the other Spartans. Therefore we could assume that they died. Sure, we don't know for sure, and there is a possibility that they might have survived, but the lack of evidence leads me to believe that they got screwed over, atleast the group that went to defend the generators.

But enough about lore. Lets stick to the topic. Im more into the idea that they should just have a big battle and not a boss fight or another run to the finish type of deal.

It's what we wait for...
It's what we live for...

The end of Reach will be the beginning of Halo 1 or just before it.

  • 10.07.2009 5:58 PM PDT

i personally love the warthog runs, they are just a part of halo for me. unfortunately ODST's wasn't a warthog run, more like a vehicle drive.

if you don't want a warthog run how about a banshee or hornet or possibly pelican run?... possibly an escape from an exploding covenant supercarrier or something?... kinda like the death star run!!.... that would be awesome

Why should they repeat the same thing over and over again? It gets old fast.
