"War is the science of destruction."

Bungie had a contract with Microsoft to make 5 Halo games, not three.

They could make as many as they wanted, they could have also ended with Halo 3. But Bungie decided to make ODST and Reach before they handed it over to MS (343i).
But three should have been last.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Anyone with half a brain should know that Halo 3 offered absolutely no closure at all and set the stage for Halo 4 as the story progressed.

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

-Master Chief

Halo 3's storyline couldnt just end here Halo 4 may some of those gaps in Halo 3's storyline.

halo fans will spill blood to have another game made

I don't think Halo 3 should have been the last.....ODST and Reach may not have lived up to Halo 3, but they were both fantastic experiences in their own right. I don't think they had anythin on Halo 3, but there's no reason to want the others to not exist. I have had good times on every Halo game, and I hope Halo 4 lives up to Halo 3.

That's exactly what I thought. Leaving him to float in space in cryo was a perfectly original ending for a hero such as master chief. How are they going to end him now? Kill him? Get him home? I dunno, but if they end him badly I'm just going to consider Halo 4+ to be an alternate ending to an already great finish that doesn't exist in the original story that Bungie created

  • 10.17.2011 5:53 PM PDT

Halo 3's ending was a back door in case Microsoft or Bungie came back around to the Master Chief. Halo 4 without the chief would have been like pens with no ink. Master Chief is almost universally recodnized as the symbol of Halo by fans. Any Halo without him is just a side game. 343 knows this. They want to keep the series going strong by switching it up, but not by canceling out the chief.

whoa lots of talking

  • 10.17.2011 9:49 PM PDT

Reach ruined it. 343 is fixing it with the glorious new trilogy.

but if no new halo games after Halo 3 were made i'd be cool with that. Too bad this terrible thing called Reach had to mess things up ...

You really are horribly informed, aren't you? Before deciding to do reach, Bungie were planning on making Halo 4 and even made concept art for it.

Plus, the Terminals in Halo 3 immediately set up the story for Halo 4.

You say that Halo 3 offered a lot of closure, you might want to check the definition for that word. Hanving John sent to the Forerunners whilst Cortana slowly descends into rampancy is definitely not an ending that offers closure...

50s in: Slayer, Doubles, Lone Wolves, Objective, Ranked BTB, Swat, Snipers.

The cryo-sleep ending was probably only included to allow MS the option to continue the Halo franchise. Just look at the Legendary ending and tell me there weren't plans for more. Had there not been any such plans, the ending would have surely been different.

I agree that the main story arc of Halo should have ended with the trilogy. Now it will be milked bone-dry for every last penny it's worth.

Hey.

Probably, but it's hard to complain about a new and promising trilogy coming ahead.

they should've just made a good game instead of reach

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

There can never be enough Halo games. One with MC each Fall, One like ODST each Spring.

You were doing good up until this bit...

The Human-Covenant war is just a small part of a much larger story, in fact it was caused because of what we're told happened in the backstory. I don't care if Halo is milked so long as the products are of a good quality, feel like Halo and deliver a good story.

This is exactly what I did with Reach....the story for the game wasn't as good as Eric Nylund's novel, so I simply assumed the game was a non-canon story.
