But if the outcome of "The War" had a larger effect, such as decideing wether the master chief is going to have to retake mexico or go attack the covenant somewhere eles i dont think it would make for a very complex story line. knowing 5 years in advance that halo3 is going to either be about retakeing mexico or attacking the covenant somewhere eles wouldn't really make for a very suprising story line with lost of interesting twists and turns like i am sure that halo2 will have.
I probably didn't do a good job at let you guys invision what I have in mind, which has alot to do with the point Mister Ninja is making. I'm going to assume that there are two realistic endings to Halo 2.
1st -The humans figure out a way to get the Covenant to leave Earth, through a weapon or what ever means, and all the remaining human forces go after the Covenant Homeworld.
or
2nd - The Covenant continue to wipe out humaninty, including earth, and the Master Chief goes on some sort of suicide mission to the Covenant homeworld.
I think that the 2nd conclusion is most likely to happen considering the way Bungie usually tells stories...You are humanities last hope etc. The way this ending to Halo 2 fits into what I'm talking about is, all these mini battles, skirmishes, or what ever you want to call them would take place on a planet, base, spaceship, on the way to the Covenant homeworld/s. These skirmishes would also take place on the first level of Halo 3... keep reading, I'll explain. The outcome of these events on xbox live would dictate certain things within the first level of Halo 3. For instance, lets say that the first level, as well as these skirmishes I keep talking about, are on a Covenant controlled planet. You, the Master Cheir, are flown by pelican to your drop point, just like every Halo mission. While flying to the drop piont, you would pass over the territories that were taken over by the humans in Halo 2 on xbox live. As soon as you are dropped off, you walk up to the Human command post. You meet a captian with a name tag that says, for all intsive purposes, Captian B. Miller... this is my name:) He or I, depending on how you look at it, gives you a layout of the situation. On his/my sleve would be his/my clan moto, custom clan pic., and my xbox live account name. How would I, just a fan, get to be so exclusively included in the script of the game? Well, I wouldn't be exclusive. All the people who were finalist in the Halo 2 the tournaments, and got to be apart of the skirmishes/battels/events that I talk about in the begining of this topic would be all through out the first level. It wouldn't really be that many people if Bungie made it special event that was only held every 5-6... 50-75 characters... the next generation xbox should be able to handle way more in game characters than this. We, the fans who got to be included in the game, wouldn't be writting the script. We would just get are names and such put on the characters in the script. So, I could be in the middle of battle in this first level of Halo 3, and look beside me and see a tag that has your XBL tag, Mister Ninja, and you would have your clan name and such written on a patch on your arm. While in battle I might pass a dead Elite's body, you know how all through out Halo you pass up dead bodies, and the Elite might have Tiny written on a patch with his Covenant clan name and so on. If you were good enough at Halo 2 MP, and you got to be in multiple of these skirmishes/battles/events that Bungie would be holding on xbox live, then you might get your name put on an important character in the storyline. Now do you guys understand what I'm talking about. We wouldn't really be changing the storyline of Halo 3. We would be given a chance, an illusion at that, to be included in the storyline/game. I probably should have put a different subject title... maybe that has something to do with me not getting my point across???
