I can't really say. I mean if the game is epic then sure why not, but then again I sometimes hate playing a game waiting a year or two just to know what happends next. I sometimes like to have that sence of completion at the end of a game once in awhile lol! The best example of a game that leaves you wondering and waiting is Shenmue haha!

Uhhh... Halo 1, 2, and 3 happen next...

My name is from Star Wars. Now you know.

Feel free to follow me on my twitter and stalk me.

What's the point? It's a prequel. We know what's going to happen 4 games in advance. So, technically, it already ends with Halo 3's cliffhanger.

click it you know you want to

It'll be like this:
After the Master Chief's pelican(if he is the protagonist) docks with the PILLAR OF AUTUMN, the AUTUMN attempts to escape. However, multiple Covenant ships attempt to prevent it from trasitioning to slipstream space. The AUTUMN is succesful in the transition. Credits then roll. After the credits, the opening cinematic from Halo: Combat Evolved plays, just cutting out the awakining of the super solder we call the Master Chief.

OR the Autumn slips in and we see Alpha Halo in the foreground in front of Threshold.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Exactly. No cliffhanger possible when you already know what happens.

It should end so that if you were to watch the first halo1 cutscene it'd be perfectly continuous.

That is what i was thinking, an almost seemless cutscene transition from Halo: REACH and Halo: Combat Evolved.

  • 10.12.2009 6:09 PM PDT

BTW Elites rule!

And I am probably just trolling you right now....especially if it is a controversial thread

with bungies last halo game i hope they piece together every mystery not create new ones

And so the circle will be complete.

As it has and always will be, for if something begins, it shall end.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Personally I would not want another cliffhanger, but I would like the Legendary ending to warrant the additional playthrough. I felt that the ending in ODST legendary was very weak considering how much they could have done with it given the placement in the Halo storyline.

Maybe a nice lead-in to the beginning of CE, just from the Covvies POV, that might be interesting.

Now, there's a thought.

NO

I'm tired of Bungie not tying up their story arcs. In my opinion Halo is the worst for not rapping up a story in one game.

Who says we know everything that happened? We will probably play through the POV of other Spartans (16 were unnamed and unnumbered on the surface) so their story could end up anywhere at the end of the game. What if there was more to Reach than what we learned in the novels?

It was glassed except for a small part that could barely support life. Not a great environment to stay in for long.

And that is a very valid point. I could definitely see that happening. (as I do subscribe to theory of playing as Spartans we know nothing about)

You know what would be the best ending? If in the end after the credits, the pillar of autumn exits slip space and it shows the ship flying to Halo. Gives you a sense of nostalgia!

  • 10.12.2009 7:03 PM PDT

w00t w00t

Check out my Gaming Rig on EVGA Mod Rigs.

You mean, should Reach be rushed out the door and have half the game cut out to make deadline?

NO

The only example of that is Halo 2.
