I dunno. I think you can only do so much with halo. they might not think there is much else to do. what i think they'll do is like a new generation of halo after this one. with a new hero, enemies, weapons, locations, whatever. it might be hard to think that far out of the box and keep it with in the limits that they've already established with the other 3 games... i guess we'll see where this one takes us.

i think i speak for everyone upon seeing the trailer:

first i screamed, finally halo 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then i pissed myself
then i was confused
then, upon hearing it was the last one, i cried.

"...women are like Voltron. The more you can hook up, the better it gets." - Tucker (RvB)

As the FAQ's said "this story arc" meaning that they are more than likely to continue from a different perspective (ie: flood, covie, other spartans,fore-runners or even human)
If anyone seriously thinks that Bungie/Microsoft will stop the Halo series cold they are just plain dumb

I think it will be that it will be the end of any halo game with campaign but they will make new multiplayer options and new features to it, or even combining the halo CE multiplayer and the halo 2 and the halo 3 into one disk and making it all playable online. Or ive thought about making a sort of halo battlefront kinda thing. you could be a marine, snipe, rocket man, or whatever and be like master cheif with like 10 kills without being killed and on the covenant you could be like all the different races and be like the arbitor and you could have all the different vehicles it would pwn so bad, but just some random ideas..

I think they said this is the last installment for the trilogy.

So they might make more games involving MC just not on Halo b/c Halo will be over after this last game.

Maybe MC vs. The White House.

yeah they probably won't end it. I dunno anything about the story but if there are more than halo 3 than yah... DUH they will keep it going, and will probably keep writing stories. but im saying along with mossy, that they will implement new ideas, not all partaining to master cheif or spartans. it could be something totally new that is parallel to halo but not exactly the same game.

don't forget about the movie. its going to match up with halo 3 probably. but imagine, its the first movie and the "final" game... RIIIIIIIGHT.. they want us to believe they wouldn't make more than one movie??!!? and why not make another game to keep the hype up between movies.. illogical, but they have to pretend they're in denial to keep it a secret from us, which is fine i'd rather a suprise plot than one i already read or something. medals for no-scope head shots.. yeah baby..

Think about Halo is to Xbox as is Mario is to Nintendo, Sonic to sega. This is xbox best selling franchise, it would make no sense to discontinue their prime money maker.

I think there will be another game or more because if yout think about it theres so many conflicts:

(1) Humans vs. the covies that still fight us (stopping "great journey")
(2) Humans and covies vs. the brutes
(3) Humans and covies vs. the flood
(4) Cortana conflict
(5) Solving Forerunner mystery

Theres a sh*# load of different conflicts that have to be solved. My predictions for Halo 3 are:

(1) We will see the other Spartan(s)
(2) The way they present Master Chief in the trailer, and how they talk about the past and future and how it ends, I dunno but I think he will die saving Earth/The Universe. I got this weird feeling he will die in this epic battle at the end to save everyone and be remembered as the one who saved the world at the last moment possible. Could be totaly wrong but its a possibility. Or he could save everyone and grow old. But you have to admit you get a weird feeling watching the trailer and think of all the stories in the world where the hero dies in the end after defeating evil. Could also be an explanation of why they said its the end of "this story arc". Just my two cents so dont flame me alive for that.
(3) Either that or Cortana is the one who "dies" to save everyone, or not at all.

No other predictions really. Just wanted to add my two cents.

Halo 3 will be the last Halo. For a while at least. Bungie is getting tired of the Halo universe and wants to do something else as well.
Like Shishka said: Do you really think that Bungie will keep making Halo games forever?

It is of course possible that after two different games Bungie decides to step back to Halo. But don't expect to see Halo 4 right after Halo 3.

This is from today's Toronto Sun paper. Marcu Lehto, H3 Art Director is quoted, and I am paraphrasing, 'This Halo storyline will end with Halo3 BUT NOT the end of the Halo franchise.'

Bottom line, this is the last game of the Halo trilogy. That in no way rules out a prequel, storylines following other characters, an RTS game, a squad command third person shooter, etc. Halo is done after 3; the Halo Universe is not.

There are of course also the books and movie to to keep in mind. these things are also part of the Halo franchise, and i assume we will be able to see quite a few of these things.

who knows...they might go out on a high note with this one...after all, that's what people want to do..they might create a spinoff with the game...i mean, there's no telling...but in the original post where the kid said something about Bill Gates and 500 million dollars...i would just like to remind you that 500 mill is chump change for the 48 billion dollar net worth entreprenuer...so, whatever the case, i don't think he gives two sht's about anything...he's got money.

The way the trailer ends definetely makes it sound as if its the last one.

7 halo''s for teh winn

  • 05.10.2006 12:21 PM PDT

Let there be CHAOS!

i like the Halo 0 idea which i actually mentioned somewhere in these forums a long while ago lol. but i think it would be cool to battle for reach fighting alongside hundereds of spartans in a big all out battle!

and if they dont do that, they could always copy Quake and make an multiplayer-only game. "Halo 4: Arena" lol

well, in like, 10 years, when the xbox is like our megadrives, i think if bungie are still around they should revive the halo story, so people who never got the chance to play it can, kinda thing... i mean, i'd so love to see my 10 week old brother enjoy himself playing these games when he gets older...

as for this arc of the story, i can see why, good games, books and movies always come in trilogys... with the odd exception...

but i doubt it'll be the end of it all... highly doubt it...

what i think would be cool for something different is a 3rd person shooter of the first book...

  • 05.10.2006 12:26 PM PDT

RIP Halo 2.

It'll be like Star Wars: First three will be the alst chronologically, followed by a line of prequels.

Just uh... without the first two prequels being awful.

I think Fall of Reach set up a killer game.

  • 05.10.2006 12:29 PM PDT

There is no way this is gonna be the last game set in the Halo universe. First off that would make so many fans angry enoughf that they could consider not buying microsofts next system and halo is a gigantic money maker as it is.

Also from a fans point of view I definately see this as the end of the halo series but not the end of the Halo world.

Its just that theres so much to resolve, there would be different spinoffs of the game. But I still think with the combination of them saying it will be the end of "this story arc" and the way master chief is presented when he comes through the smoke, I think he will die in the end saving the world at the last moment.

I dunno though. And waiting another year kinda sucks major donkey balls. Trailer should have been revealed much later. Its almost unbearable.

And its absolutely nuts here! The forums are going out of control, almost impossible to read them because they shoot right off the first page in 5 seconds. They should have had a lock on how many topics that could be created, like maybe 30 or so, and then have REQUESTS for new topics that would go under review first.
