Chief boards dreadnought and the covenant take it to Earth, where that's where chief begins his third wrath. Or are you suggesting that there should be another side-story along with it?

Its been a while since I've played H2, and I couldn't remember how Cheif was on a covy ship, and ends up as a meteor in the beginning of H3. I didn't know what all happenened between the transition of games.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

I want to know how Johnson, Keyes, and the Arbiter beat the Chief in getting back to Earth.

It's because they could draft off of each other and MC was alone. You can't win the Tour de Halo 2 by yourself.

That is a great question. normally I would attribute that to the Covenant's slip-space engines being much more efficient, however since chief was in the forerunner dreadnought, it seems to not make sense.

I am searching for an answer but have failed to come up with one as of yet. Let me get back to you on that one. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

So you then take a sledgehammer..

They took a Covenant ship from the Fleet of Retribution.

Only thing i can think of is since Covie ships are based on Forerunner tech, they probably improved on it where as the key ship is older and had no improvements but whatever, just a theory, allowing Arby and friends to get to Earth quicker.

The Chief boarded the Dreadnaught and fought his way through and eventually was captured. Meanwhile, the Home Fleet was fighting off the Brute fleet (seen in ODST since the last "Halo 2" ship Regrets carrier left, so the Brutes must have came from another fleet), which is evident by their position at the end of Halo 2. The Dreadnaught and the full force of the Covie fleet then arrive and engage the Home Fleet. Chief then escapes and jumps out from the Dreadnaught down to Earth. The Home Fleet gets totalled, so begins Halo 3.

At least i think thats how it happened ;)

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

Play ODST to see some between action and Halo 2 is known for having a horrible ending...

Actually when you say "after the ending of Halo 2", that really wouldn't apply to halo 2 at all lol

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Excuse me? Halo 2 had a fantastic ending that made the wait for Halo 3 that much worse! That ending solidifying me as Halo fan. It was the first Halo game I played and I never looked back afterwords.

Yeah, even though I griped somewhat about the ending I just couldn't wait for the next in the series to plunk my money down. I think I griped because the ending was so tantalizing to me.

"No Mission Too Difficult, No Sacrifice Too Great—Duty First!" - The fighting first's motto.

Losing internet 9/7/2012 until i don't know when. See you starside folks.

You guys act like I'm the first person to bring this up. I played CE. Let me dig up some old posts on it. Even those that enjoyed the game had some things to say:

Angry fan
Discussion on it
And the particular review mentioned

Honestly, I could find hundreds of examples, but those were just a couple of the top results I got from google.

I don't care what you think or how many examples you give, I simply stated my own opinion on what I thought about the ending.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

HALO 2 HAD A GOOD ENDING!!!!

Of course, by that definition, Evangelion Episode 26 is good too. Just check out the final scene

"CONGRATULATIONS"

Lame, you are just no good at trolling anymore. You can do better than that but, oh yeah, you've still got your leash on.

Nah, I don't have any leash. Just real life.

Nope, you still got your leash on. Usually your trolling would be much better then this Jacob. Creative block maybe?

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

We were given no alternate ending for beating it on Legendary. That scene with Gravemind and Cortona happens on all difficulties.
