How will the game begin? I have serious doubts that people thought Halo 2 would begin the way it did, and I want to see other peoples opinions.

I see the game as beginning with an Arbiter mission, as they are still on Delta Halo, and not in a situation of extreme peril (as are the Chief and Cortana). Maybe they could create an alliance with the other Dissident aliens (Elites, Grunts, Hunters.) and head off to Earth to reinforce it.

Another idea I had would be the that the Chief is focused mainly on saving Earth and fighting the Covenant whereas Miranda, Johnson, the Arbiter, and 343 Guilty Spark would search for the Ark.

Stats Don't Mean Anything If You Cheat

I Hope the 1st level picks up right where Halo2 ended unless there is another bridging book as in the case of "First Strike"

Good ideas indeed. I have no opinion. I will wait to see it in HD on my 61" LCD and my digital surround. I am sure all those who have a nice set up are extra excited.

Maybe the cheif will have a battle inside the Forerunnership to start the game. That actually brings me to what I want to post a topic on and that is this.

If in the first 2 games all we heard about is the forerunners and blah, blah, blah this and blee, blee, blee that. How come I never hear anyone say yet that we will finally get to see a forerunner in Halo 3.

I mean, MC is on a forerunnership right off the bat, which someone knows how to fly(maybe it is pre-programmed) The story is coming to an end and the arc is a forerunner facility. The main facility. Who's to say the forerunners aren't frozen in the Ark.

Maybe they fight the Covenant or some crazy twist like that.

Bottom line is someone has to either destroy or show the Cov that the rings are not religious and who can do all that alone. I am sure we will see something to show exactly who and what the forerunners are.

A message only the MC can understand or that only a human can retrieve.

Sorry about all that. Wasn't trying to hijack the thread, just got off track with the MC in the Forerunner ship on the 1st mission.

Personally I hope they Tarintino it, start from the ending and work backwards.

If we did see a live forerunner in halo 3 I bet it would want to activate halo because the flood have broken out again.

i truly doubt that, the halo's were a last resort, and with a Forerunner at the helm the humans and the Covenant would fall in pretty quick ( i think) to combat the flood. Especially since the Forerunner are their gods and humans are getting their arses handed to them. Then truth will assasinate the forerunner most likely and send the whole thing to hell :(.

  • 05.15.2006 11:33 AM PDT

Yeah maybe! Maybe they will awaken a massive army to destroy those responsibe for the new flood awakening. HA they can pop in their alien crystals and only destroy the covenant.

Really though, having forerunners in Halo 3 would be great, unless they are just people as wimpy as the humans. I could just see that trailer ending with all the covenant cruisers falling to the ground from an interuption in the systems after that beam fires.

The first level can be some kind of station or that place what was in the trailer.

The last prophet must die near the beginning. MC wouldn't let him get away after the ship lands. He was on the ship the MC was on in the end of H2 right.

Or maybe he gets away and that is the MC going to kill him in the new trailer. It would take quite a while to get inside for the MC to do much about the firing of that hole. It is 3 miles wide and he is far away. I guess stealling a banshee is at hand.

I love the clouds as well swirling like a hurricane.

Gauss Cannon Ownage

I will, however, confirm that the Assault Rifle fires projectiles. At the moment, at least. We might just end up turning it into a melee-only weapon.

That was a joke.

If they start out Halo3 as the Arbiter I would be pissed...MC is the Hero of this story and the arbiter can wait...
