I doubt it unless it is just multiplayer like Unreal Tounament.

Could anyone think of a better launch title for Xbox 2 than Halo 3, not to mention how much M$ will probably push for it. And considering how much Bungie likes having a good story with their games I can't see them making Halo 3 a MP only. As long as Halo 2 does good and they have good ideas for a sequal, we will see a Halo 3.

You know your going to have to wait to see what happens in Halo 2 right? You can't just issume that Chief is going to win the war on Earth, then their going to just end the game after that and get ready for Halo 3 (if that makes sense). I don't think Bungie will just make Halo 3 a MP either, that would bring back the memories of Counter-Strike.

well, i think there are a couple of points to consider here. 1. as much as we hate to think of it this way HALO and HALO 2 are at the end of the day ... finacial investments made by microsoft and bungie. its a business. people are trying to live and they happen to be making some great art at the same time. 2. i find it hard to believe and pretty stupid if in halo 2 you some how find a way to kill every convenant,. even with the halo rings being used which would also kill you. I think even if master chief kicks all the aass in the world and else where there is no way one man. even if that man is a spartan can kill every single conveant warrior , i mean cmon an entire race of creatures. he has a tough enough time as it is in the game and books. so you end up with two very good reasons for a halo 3 one that microsoft will need is biggest by a long shot flagship title when xbox 2 hits and of course there will have to be more story to tell in this epic battle of two mighty races across this huge galaxy

Of course there'll be Halo 3. Final Fantasy has over 10 sequels and Halo is way better than Final Fantasy so Halo 2 probably won't be the end.

We can only wish that there'll be a third Halo installment, but it's highly doubtful. Halo has to end sometime.

It actually pains me to say that. Hmm...

Have you ever heard of Jason X? There has been a lot of movies on that story. It's kinda the same each time too. Eventually it would just get old and dumb. Why not just quit when you're hot?

If so, there definitely will not be a Halo 3. A magnificent story has been a Bungie game staple since Pathways into Darkness (1993).

i agree with the person above its all about money... and why would they keep making halos?

for the same reason they keep making sequels to movies... to squeez as much profit outa a franchise before its wasted

with the launch of xbox 2 there will either be a new halo or a new maybe parallel game or new story or somethin along those lines from bungie tht will get a lot of advertising and hype

They better make more and besides they could always have someother aliens come into the play of the story and then the covenent could be your allies.

ya, some race thats so powerful thats trying to wipe out humans and covenant, then they could work together. but actually, i like the idea of quitting while your ahead. if bungie keeps making halo's to get as much money from it, the series will get old and dumb, and then bungie would lose their status of making awesome games

I hope there is not a Halo 3, anything past a single sequel (that's two) just isn't worth it. Granted, Bungie has made MANY titles that have gone on for three series, but with this story I think it would be better to end it at two because of the following reasons:

1) Does anyone remember movies like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? Remember how if we had more than two of those we would have to kill ourselves. And it pains me to say this seeing as how I'm from California, but Terminator 3 ring a bell?

2) The game will get increasingly old, no matter how good the story line is. You can only keep fighting over and over again so much. I love Halo and I love Halo 2, and above all else I love the innovation that has gone into each. I can only hope to do as much once I'm part of the work force full time.

3) As someone stated, the story has to end. Any story that gets dragged on too long because redundant and becomes boring. Remember the Quake series? It was great for two, but the third, no matter how GREAT the graphics at the time were, just could not hack it anymore because it was lacking the appeal.


But, these are just my modest opinions and I am no way the authority on it. I always want Bungie, as well as every game/software developer, to do well.

First battlefield earth in HAL0 2 I can see takeing up half of the game or at least three levels.
1MC boards covenant ship and forces it and others to land and make repaires. which halts the orbital bombardment temporary.
2the battle through the city to get to one of the crusiers. mainly a flag ship to capture a prophet.
3bording the crusiers capturing a prophet.

But you still need alot more levels not to forget the moon, gas giant station, HAL0 prime and the Covenant homeworld each has atleast 3 levels. However HAL0 took up 10 levels. so unless it is 40 levels large mabey.
