I was wondering everyones opinnion. Many people say the story should end with Halo 2 and then for the 3rd game they should do THE FALL OF REACH. Many also think MC should be killed off in Halo 2 in a heroic way. I like this idea , whats your opinnions?

it would be a good idea for a movie ending if master chief died, but it would suck in the game, like wats the point of rebeating the game if you kno at the end your going to die

a true movie moment if our great MC were to die. and i dont think it would count as him losing if he died destroying all of the covenant in some great fashion. wasnt his goal to stop the covenant? if so then destroying them at the cost of his own life is him winning, him accomplishing his goal. I think it would be cool if he did die but I'd also find it a bit sad, and a bit hard to play single player again knowing that he does die.

It would be smart of bungie to make another version or some sort of halo 2 to make extrodinary profits.

I doubt H2 will be the last of the series. It's too much of a cash-cow for Microsoft, and Bungie.

A third reincarnation of the game would have to bring a good mix of new and old features no matter what, but having M.C. die could make adding new features easier. I could be satisfied with M.C.'s death, and continue to play single player if it were some sort of heroic death, but if it were a betrayal (or meaningless, which I doubt they would do) I don't know if I could.

As I see things moving now [ie allowing the player to use Elite characters] they could potentially have the third reincarnation of Halo from the Covenant perspective. Or a version in which there are two storylines to play, both M.C. for Earth, and an Elite for the Covenant.

Personally I'd rather single player remain as just the MC without being able to play the covenant at all. Elites for multi player for sure, but in my opinion leave single player to the MC where he works his magic.

Yeah playing as the enemy has been done in classic first person shooters in the past so yeah it's a possibility. Then again you could play as a different spartan (if the storyline were to permit so), as the marines or as a longsword pilot...etc. Okay lol, maybe I'm going along Star Wars lines now but you never know :P

Somehow Caesar you just gave me an interesting thought. Just imagine that for Xbox 2, MC takes off his helmet but it turns out that for Halo on Xbox 2 you were playing Kelly and we don't know what happens to MC. I think that would be pretty interesting.

I think it would be cool if after Halo 2 they made a set of Half-Life style expanction packs; they could use the same Halo 2 engine and texture bank, meaning they would be fairly quick to make, their could be a Covenant based one where you play as an Elite, and a marine one where you play as Sargeant Johnson. You could always have some marines with you and each could have skills, like demolisition, heavy weapons, medic... That would be great. You could also have a flight based one where your some sort of fighter pilot. It could take place just before the Covenant invasion. In short, even if MC did die theres no nead for Halo to die with him.

Yeah I only play the original half life and I remember playing an alien expansion pack but I wasn't sure if it was half life so I didn't mention it. It obviously was...:)

I hope Halo gets lots more sequels, not like Final Fantasy where they crank em out every other year each with descending quality but every 4 years or so release one then continue the story from there, oh yeh, more books.

Only one problem, she wouldn't be able to speak up until she took off her helmet (unless she has a voice as deep as MC's) or that would ruin the surprise.

I think there will be a Halo 3. It will continue the story line because Bungie wouldn't make a game of TFoR cause we all know what happens and it would end with the MC on the PoA Fleeing from reach. Also What would the Xbox 2 have if there was no Halo. I guess if Bungie Didnt make another Halo they would be coming up with a new game, I think a futuristic RPG/Shooter would be cool. Develop skills like with you weapons like better accuracy or Increased rate of fire( semi auto weapons only). Increased strength would mean more melee damage, maybe increased speed or sprint bursts skills. Melee combos would be cool. Learn more about your weapon and increase its efficency or modify it. The more you level up the more health you get.
