I just play for fun. MLG can kiss my ass.

Yes, dozens of colonies were glassed, but we had eight HUNDRED colonies before the war, so in all likelihood only a small fraction of them were glassed.

I'm a stubborn guy. I love to argue my opinion, but unlike others, I'll try to see your side of the problem. I'm a triathlete, with a very heavy empephis on the swimming bit. Also, don't hate on the ~Quinton~ at the end of my posts. Why are you still reading this? #creeper #hashtagcashmoney for hashtaging on Bungie.net

It depends on what source you look at. Some say 800+ inner colonies, some say 17 total colonies, some say 21, if you count the number of colonies mentioned you get 20 or 30 something...

What we don't know is how many were glassed.

Knowing Bungie, probably 7.

I would have prefered it if humanity was never really loosing, but instead on even ground.

If humanity had lost, they don't necessarily have to make it all doom and gloom. You could say:
"As humanity withdrew from sight, and fled from the oncoming Covenant, they knew they could hide it out.
As the humans hid, the Covenant eventually found the Halos. The populace believed the Great Journey was upon them... or was it?
The oracles of the sacred rings claimed they were not 'Reclaimers' and thus could not activate the installation. The population was a mess. How could they not be the ones to light the rings, as they are the most devoted to the Forerunner?
And then they found the truth: Halos were devastating weapons that were not of salvation, but of suicide. What was even more, the ones they swore to destroy on acts of heresy, the Humans, were the supposed Reclaimers! The San 'Shyuum were deceiving them all this time! And slowly, the Covenant tore itself apart, fighting on their beliefs. Eventually, nothing remained of the once mighty mass. The humans returned to their rightful homes, and rebuilt."
idk, eh?

Actually sounds like a pretty good way to end the Halo series.

I don't think the Covenant would have won even with the Elites, The Flood was going to stop Truth anyway, he was already infected by the time the Chief and the Arby got to him, Gravemind would have taken a flood/human form to stop the Halo firing sequence.

And BOOM! bye Covies, left Humans to escape with enought time and repopulate in other worlds.

Plus the Covenant skipped a lot of outter colonys to arrive to Earth, so there were still plenty of Human controlled worlds out there.

We didn't win. The Elites won. We just survived the war.

If I remember correctly 800 planets are under UNSC control. And about 70 or so were actual colonies. Those 800 don't have to be inhabited, just controlled.

I'm glad the humans won

To be honest, when I first saw all this in the weekly update I thought 2 things.
#1- there is an actual legendary ending but,
#2- No matter what anyone does,(kill all the bobs, hit all switches etc) that until the "time" mentioned in "There'll be another time..." is reached there won't be a legendary ending.

The weekly update by bungie has slowed my hardcore search for what unlocks the legendary ending.

Humanity is known for exaggeration. I doubt much of Earth was actually destroyed outside of Voi, Cleveland and Cuba.

This is known by the fact that barely anything of Reach was destroyed or glassed, other than all of it's major cities that would have kept it up during the battle against the Covenant.

I think Humans would have survived even if the Elites hadn't allied with them. Even if it cost Earth.


Yes, because we were lied to when it was stated that only 200,000 million humans are left after the war.

Africa was glassed, Australia was attacked. Antarctica was attacked. The US, Cuba, more than likely the entire world. Even if it wasn't glassed, Truth took his ENTIRE FLEET to Earth.
Voi was glassed only because of the flood threat, which BTW was glassed by the separatists (elites) to prevent further outbreak. Voi was glassed, not Africa AS A WHOLE. Cleveland was attacked, as well as Cuba. Antarctica and Australia, not so sure about.

"Question. Which Spartan is best?"
"That's a ridiculous question."
"False. Master Chief."
"Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought."
"Spartans shoot Sangheili. Spartans. Sangheili.....Battle Star Galactica."

yeh i agree, i think most players would, after spending many hours playing through the series, want the ending to be "predictable" in a sense....and if you think of all the younger players....it doesnt send that good a message... put in lots of hard work and get deissapointed, not that i care if little kids get dissapointed:P.



It'd be a good eye-opener for them. Hard work doesn't always go rewarded. Just sayin'!

That'd be interesting if the Legendary ending for Halo 3 was COMPLETELY different - i.e. humans losing.

What would be even cooler is if you didn't get the humans WINNING unless you beat the games on Legendario.

The war isn't over yet.

  • 12.17.2010 7:03 AM PDT

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Why does everything have to have a dark ending? What happened to the old days, the classic struggle of good vs evil and in the end goodness prevailed?

  • 12.17.2010 7:06 AM PDT

Halo is one of the most important part of my life.

Well, let me tell you something...

If it happens that, the next thread you are gonna make its gonna be about how hard you wanted that in the story the earth survives... youll bever going to be happy.
If you dont like the story then write one for yourself...

  • 12.17.2010 7:28 AM PDT

I AM STEUDTE And I love the USAF and Elites.

I want to find out what happens to MC and the Arbiter after the war+ what happens to the Covenant Loyalists after the war.

"Alright sweethearts you heard the man and you know the drill, -blam!-s and elbows!"

I say humanity still should have won but they needed to be seriously up -blam!-'s creak first. Kinda like in gears where the humans clearly have no hope in hell of winning but still somehow pull it off. Granted gears hasn't ended so there's no way to know how the war will turn out. but I just wanted the stakes to be that high where it's either this last plan works or we face extinction.
