Subject: Should Halo:Reach end with a cliffhanger?

Posted by: Duardo
I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

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!
With Captain Keyes saying, "Cortana, all I need to know, is did we lose them?"


Actually, it would go like this.


Cortana: Entering normal space in 30 seconds.

Captain Keyes: Shutdown all systems, Cortana. I want us to be dark when we enter normal space. If the Covenant did follow us maybe we can hide.

Cortana: Aye, sir. Running dark.

Captain Keyes: Fire thrusters to position us in orbit around the planet, Ensign Lovell.

Ensign Levell: Aye, sir.

Captain Keyes: Cortana. What is that?

Dominique: Could this be some kind of naturally occuring phenomenon?

Cortana: Unknown.

Cortana: The ring is ten thousand kilometers thick. Spectroscopic analysis is inconclusive, but patterns do not match any known Covenant materials, sir.

Cortana: Captain, the object is clearly artificial. There's a gravity field that controls the ring's spin and keeps the atmosphere inside. At this range---and with this gear---I can't say with one hundred percent certainty, but it appears that the ring has an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere and Earth normal gravity.

Captain Keyes: If it's artificial, who the hell built it... and what in god's name is it?

Cortana: I don't know, sir.

Captain Keyes: Then we'd better find out.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Yes, it's the planet being Glassed by the Convenant and the Pillar of Autumn jumping into Slip space.

Begin Halo CE

Nah. The ending would be a little too long for me. Maybe a conversation between Keyes and Cortana (not from the book...yeah I know what that is lol) and then Keye's first line in the game. That would give EVERY Halo fan, plus the ones that didn't read the book, nostalgia.

i think Reach should end right where CE started. With the pillar of autumn jumping into slipspace.

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.

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.

  • 10.12.2009 9:02 PM PDT

Possibly a hint towards a Halo CE remake, but nothing other than that. It'd be a pretty awesome teaser if you could play Halo CE's first level remade after you beat Reach on Legendary or something.

Highly unlikely, yes. Impossible, no. It can be done, but is is most likely not going to happen

  • 10.13.2009 2:25 PM PDT

Beware the smiley face! =D

I want it to lead into the opening of Halo CE. Would be a great way to end the Halo series.

  • 10.13.2009 2:29 PM PDT

hi

You never know they might make a part after (if you still havnt completed the game on legendery look away from this parograph )


were chief and cortana are stuck in the ship after halo 3

(you can look now :D )

because it does say Halo:Reach not Halo:the fall of reach just a suggestion though

Why would they take you back to Reach that long after it's destruction?

No point, really.

  • 10.13.2009 2:41 PM PDT

hi

no i dont mean they would take you back to reach i was just thinking that the game might have a couple of levels not actualy focused on reach it could be were chief trys to get back home to earth

  • 10.13.2009 2:44 PM PDT

Reach will NOT have cliffhangers, this is most likely Bungie's last Halo game. Eventually, it has to end sometime..

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.

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?


I think they should show us what did happen with those 16 Spartans and a new side to the events in Reach. But i think they should just kill them off. It seems that when it comes to Spartans they just pull crazy -blam!- out of their ass just to make them survive. Maybe a final game or novel with S-III Gamma, but that's it. I don't want them to keep on dragging the story, seems to me that they are milking it for all its worth.

  • 10.13.2009 5:00 PM PDT

Yes, it should end with the Pillar of Autumn approaching Halo, with an advert at the end telling us to buy Halo Combat Evolved. Best. Cliffhanger. Ever.

  • 10.13.2009 5:01 PM PDT

Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

The best cutscene in Halo 1 remade in Halo Reach's newer engine?

YES!

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.


And so the circle will be complete.
As long as they remake CE without overpowered pistols...

Agreed.

The only good cliffhanger would be one along the lines of...

Ten years later, rebuilt Reach.

"Sir, there's a phone call for you. Someone from ONI." the Ensign informed Lord Admiral Hood as he stood, looking at the recently terraformed planet Reach.

"Patch him through Ensign." Hood replied, lifting up a glass of whiskey, 472 years old. A voice immediately spoke through the intercom in Hood's observation deck. The ONI official spoke.

"Admiral Hood? We've found him."

End credits.

YAY!

Now THAT would be an ending.
