Halo 3 is the last game in the Halo trilogy, that doesn't mean there is no more games in the Halo universe. There might be other games, maybe a "Spartan Project" game, where you train, do missions and then face the Covenant. Like in the book "fall of reach". Maybe we get to play as the 3 spartans that were to far away to be recalled, they discover something of their own and ARE on their own, maybe they find some other race they can ally with? Some race that survived the covenant onslaught somehow, but they are grately reduced (the covenant think they've won over them), maybe that game would be called "out of Reach" or something like that. Work you way back to humanity with your new found alliance.

Personally I think that Halo 3 is the last Halo game but not the last game in the Halo universe

They might do another game like the ones in the halo universe, such as how halo is like the marathon series, but I don't think they will continue the story line in the video game form

Q. What do you get when you add 1 man, 1 car, and 1 rocket built for a jet?

A. A black smudge on the side of a cliff.

Well yes. It may be the last game about Master Cheif, but not for the Halo universe. Have you heard the rumors about the RTS that may come around? Halo used to be an RTS anyway.

I haven't heard any rumors about an oncomming RTS but I know it used to be one, then they went to 3rd person with many spartans, one spartan FPS and then Halo CE

If they make a RTS we might get to follow Ackerson and his plans, if he got any.

That would be cool if they made a game about the chief's training on Reach. flinging rocks at random guy's heads would be fun.

For whatever reason, I think Bungie is done with Halo. If there are more games in the Halo universe, I think they will be developed by another gaming studio.

First, where is everyone seeing that this is the last one?
'Cause I have read around and I don't remember reading that.
Or, is it just because of "FINISH THE FIGHT"? Because I think that's just a reference to the end of Halo 2.
"What are you doing MC?" (paraphrase)
"Sir, finishing this fight." (close, if not exact)
And, he was fighting the Covenant. We don't know when the fight against the Flood ends, if it ever does.

I don't think Bungie would milk this cash cow so much.

Bungie did say it was the last game in the Halo trilogy. And "Finish the fight" is a clue.
God, I hope Halo 3 will have a good ending if it's the last game. I highly doubt there will be another game; just H3 then the movie (or Movie then H3). And that would be it, sadly.

The only thing they said is that is the last game in this story arc. read the faq. there are plenty of stories out there in the halo universe. Series like Halo don't die in the video game world.

From the Halo 3 FAQ page:

Q

Is this the last ever Halo game?

A

It is the conclusion to this story arc.



They did not say that there would be no more halo themed games.

There is a Halo mod coming for command and conquer generals which looks pretty badass. Go to a search engine and type "Halogen". Its not out for puiblic download yet, but videos of gameplay look nice.

As for my thoughts on the Halo series...
I agree that there will be more from the Halo universe without the Halo ring saga. There is tons they could do. There is certainly the other Spartans to consider, there is the covenant civil war, there is also the aftermath of the Halo Rings saga to be dealt with. It is unlikely that everything will just be "cool", back to work like normal before the wars, etc. There is a lot Bungie could do with the series.

Potential Spoiler Ahead. Don't read if you don't want to know what may happen at the end of Halo 3!!!




I read a so called "leaked" Halo 3 script. If what I read is to be the storyline of Halo 3, for one im disapointed, but secondly and more importantly, there will be the dealing with Cortana. Enough said on that end. If you haven't read the so called leaked plot, its on the forums. If you have, then you know what i'm talking about.

Anywho, plenty more to do with the Halo Universe, just hope it gets better as opposed to worse. =\

i think that bungie will work on another game marathon but don't expect rts microsoft will not let that happen but i think we can exect halo4 after no less than 5 years after the creation of a new game. they know halo is an awsome game but they think that they need to give the fans a rest or halo will be perished for ever.

Why don't you level 50's out there, when you finally decide to apply for colleges...why don't you put that you were a level 50 on your application. And put it on your job resume, too. See how much it matters, and how much people care.

~~Pardon Our Dust.~~

They said it's the "..end of this story arc."

A Halo MMOFPS? (Battling across an entire ring for land control, Covenant vs. Humans, + the Flood slowly take over the ring as both sides battle for control?) T'would be rather epic.

A Halo RTS? Why not? Maybe Bungie could bring it alive again.. (The Homeworld series, anyone?)

A Halo "Space Battle" game, such as Descent or X-wing?

It's all a possibility.

A prologue would be nice, actually. On how John grows up in the spartan program etc.

end of a story arc does not mean anything about it being the last fps....just because they are ending the story arc doesn't mean they are not doing any more fps

oh im sure there will be more FPS, even if they don;t upgrade the game engine everytime, they would still have followers. It "looks" like the engine for Halo 3 will be very solid. We will see if it is. Maybe they can run some spinoffs of the series in a quicker fashion so long as the engine remains the same...dunno, but i doub't Bungie and Microsoft will simply stop producing Halo related titles...its far to popular.

I love how everyone thinks there cannot be different story lines even including master chief. I am sure he will have to occup his time somehow after this story line is over

Move Your Bowels.

Ending lucrative franchises often only happens when the franchise actually ceases to be lucrative. Upon the 1983 release of Return of the Jedi, Geo. Lucas swore up and down that he'd never get around to finishing the story arc (I think "The Adventures of Luke Skywalker" was envisioned to encompass a dozen movies, way back in 1976.). When there was evident demand for more movies (after the surprise success of the novels of the 1990's, led by Timothy Zahn's award-winning trilogy of 1991, and then the overwhelming popularity of the 1997 Special Edition movies), then the cinematic Star Wars wheels started turning again, for better or for worse. Also, remember that the Friday the 13th series was supposed to end with the fourth entry ("The Final Chapter") back in 1984, some seven or eight movies ago. And again, "The Final Friday" was supposed to be the ninth one, eight years before Jason X.

There's no reason why they couldn't finish this particular fight, and show the Master Chief saving the galaxy (and Earth in particular, one hopes... but judging from the condition of New Mombasa these days, ol' Terra might as well have succumbed to the Vogon treatment, but you never can tell. Release Day will tell us whether Earth survives or not.) and preventing the triggering of the Halos (or not... wouldn't it be a trip if the last part of the game is a Battlestar Galactica-esque dash out of the Milky Way with the last remnants of humanity fleeing the galaxy before the Halos go off?) and generally kicking Covenant fanny. But however the game ends, the engine and the characters and the worlds are just too popular for there NOT to be future games starring a Spartan or two. Maybe there won't be anymore gigantic ring-shaped worlds that double as galactic bug-zappers, but for Chief's sake, isn't this the single most popular console game franchise ever? You think they'll kill it off completely after Halo 3? Cyan's Myst franchise finally died when its popularity waned below the threshold of profitability... a fate which will eventually befall Halo, Star Wars, and maybe even Jason Voorhees.

Eventually. Just not anytime soon.

In the meantime, no doubt our pals at Bungie would like to develop a game or two outside of the Halo universe... and I imagine that most of us are all for it.

I agree. Though I think it is possible the MC might die at the end of Halo 3, if he remains alive at the end of this storyline, he will for sure be included in some fashion in future titles. Remember after all, he is one of the last remaining known spartans. No idea if there is a Spartan III program in operation out there or not, but I suspect there is :)

The fact that Halo 3 is the last in this particular series has been mentioned in several places. But the one I remember is found in the Montreal Sun newspaper, from last Wed or Thursday. It also mentions that although series is done there may be other games involving the Halo universe. This is from quote by the H3 Art Director himself
