Don't know why everyone rants about the ending. Sure, it was a -blam!- to get completely pumped to finish that fight and all and then get end credits thrown at you. But think about it, it's perhaps the most epic ending it could possibly have been. Everything is going wrong for everyone, there is nothing going right for anyone in the whole galaxy. The Covenant is broken in a civil war, the Flood is loose upon the galaxy once again and Cortana is lost to the gravemind. Meanwhile humanity has ben all but wiped out and Truth is racing for the Ark to end all life in his Great Journey. And this is just after one ring almost fired. It is at the very apex of the tension before the resolution, and given the scope that is quite tense.
That was why Halo 3 didn't really "live up to the hype", because they just threw all that away and dissolved the tension.
