This, no contest. Honestly I don't think there is another cliffhanger in the series that is even in the same category as this for epicness (or cruelty).

I think that is one of the best cliffhanger of all time. The only one that really stands out to me is the ending of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

That was certainly a grueling 3-year wait.

Halo Cryptum would be a close second, I'm really looking forward to the second book in the series

The Halo 2 ending is the best, hands down.

The Halo 2 ending was badass

But the Cryptum ending was a bit scary and mindblowing.

Sangheili Major: "Brute ships. Staggered line! Shipmaster, they outnumber us, three-to-one!"

Rtas 'Vadum: "Then it is an even fight. All Cruisers, fire at will! Burn their mongrel hides!"

The Halo 2 ending. Both John's and Thel's lines were awesome in my opinion.

And then right up there with that would have to be Cryptum. That was just...epic, and a little creepy.

Halo 3's legendary ending. Halo 3 was suppose to end the Master Chief series, but then they give us an ending full of mystery and WTFs.

Jack being swallowed up by the Kraken and sent to the Locker. The other guys mounting an expedition to the Locker and the resurrection of Barbossa at the end.

Ringing any bells?

Scandinavian Master Race!

Halo3 because you thought it was finished but no here comes a giant shiny blue planet.

  • 05.01.2011 6:38 AM PDT

Halo 2, it isn't what I'd call the best, but it was by far the most cruel and mind blowing.


I like Halo CE's ending, with 343 flying past, I thought that was clever.

Many will enter, only one will rise to the top and he might not even win....

I don't understand why people don't like the Halo 2 ending, I thought it was great. And like many others have said, Cryptum had a great ending.

Well I can understand feeling a little aggravated by it, no one really likes a long wait to finish a story, I would have shared a little of their reaction. I would be aggravated at the cliff-hanger, yet pumped for the next one.

And yeah, I agree with all the people talking about Cryptum. That has a pretty badass cliffhanger, I still think Halo 2's was better though XD

Barbosa: "So tell me? Whats become of my ship?"

*laughs*

*credits*

Me: "FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU-"

OT: Yes, Halo 2. But Cryptum is second.

Admit it: Halo 2's ending made Halo 3 10X better.

Haha indeed. Almost my reaction exactly. For a while I was just stupidly sputtering from the surprise then I turned more to cliff hanger anger :P

Seems to be the general consensus that Cryptum pulls a close second, and I agree, it's an awesome ending.

Oh yes, Halo 3 is much, much better to me because of Halo 2's ending :D

Head Down/ Chin Up!

I think we would all agree Halo 2 rocked for an ending!

However dont you think it would have been even more epic if that cutscene of Master Chief on the Forerunner ship would have flowed in from that missing level they were meant to stick in there? The one where you had to escape the Keyship?

FINALLY! After waiting a year and a half for Halo 2, I've gotten my hands on it and can finally save the human race! In one night, I've beaten the campaign -

FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Pretty much how I felt!

I think it was the lack of anymore Earth levels that annoyed me more I would guess! Having just returned on the Keyship, and then that happened?

You were totally and absolutely correct in every way, I don't know why we were arguing, you're so amazing I should never have doubted you.

Besides Halo 2, I have to say the possible death of Preston J. Cole at the battle of Psi Serpentis was incredible.
