Having to get away from an exploding nuclear device would be the Maw redux.

I think it will come down to the Master Chief, the Arbiter, and Gravemind. Of course there is no way to actually destroy the infection/carrier/combat forms completely so the destruction of Gravemind is the only method of eradication. Where it will occur is difficult to say I mentioned before, in another post, that High Charity resembles a mushroom which could possibly foreshadow the spread of the Flood to other parts of the Universe (possibly Earth). Since Gravemind spreads with the Flood (not exactly sure how) this could mean they make it to Earth and the showdown occurs there.

A neato neato battle would be a fight between MC and Arby....cept (GASP) In SpaCE! Oh yeah, theyd both be on top o some big ol battleship/galactic cruiser w/e u call those big things. They would have to dodge oncoming fire the ship is receiving and stuff and could jump real high, maybe hijack a banshee and go at it...mm?

I dont think their will be any battle between mc and arbiter, their both going for the same goal and their smart enough to know so. I think it will come down to altered teams as things develop.

Think about what the goals are for everyone, right now only the prophets and their followers want the halo's activated, gravemind, the humans, and Arbiters crew do not, however gravemind does not seem to have complete control over his combat forms because when he sent chief and arbiter to get the index they were still attacked by flood even though they were doing graveminds bidding.

the only thing im trying to say is their are alot of differnet factors that will come into play during the different twists halo 3 will have.

I forsee 2 last battles. 1 for the Arbiter, the other for MC.

Arbiter:

Huge battle at the ruins of New Mombassa where the ARK excavation site is located. Scorpions, Banshees, Wraiths, Warthogs, Pelicans, and the whole shebang everywhere! Seperatist Covenant, Humans fight against the Covenant in the final battle! To finish the fight! The flood are pouring into earth and both sides will be destroyed, its a matter of survival, survival for both races, for the universe!

MC:

Infiltrate inside the ARK excavation site and stop the prophets and gravemind from activating all the Halos! Lots of action, lots of flood, lots of the Covenant's best!

"the only thing we have to fear is fear it self..... and monsters"

Inb the end i think it will be Arbiter Vs the leader prophit of truth(im not sure witch is the leader) and it will be Master Chief Vs Gravemind.

Arbiter vs MC? What the hell dude did you not play The Great Journey? If not they Johnson teamed with the arbiter, if Johnson isnt HUMAN then you can say Arbiter vs MC. Otherwise they will be allied. Humans+Elites+Grunts+Hunters vs Brutes+Jackals+Drones+Prophets= Halo 3...if thats not the way it turns out then that is not right. Plus if humans ally with the aliens then we get the advanced technology and we wont have to worry about being annilated by the Covanant (which is what is happening).

Most likely Arbiter vs Prophet of Truth.

why would gravemind want to activate the arkk?
i reckon a show down between all the races, on earth, at the site of the ark.
all vehicles all enemies. the greatest climax to one of the greatest game (series) in history

I have a rendezvous with death. At some disputed barricade.

The only way someone is going to get my fighting in a space battle is dragged kicking and screaming against my free will.

The MC would be slaughtered in a space fight, picture this: MC commandeers a Longsword and takes the battle to the Covenant. He unloads his whole payload (Archer missiles... etc) onto the Covenant Seraph. As the dust settles the MC sees that he has only just broken through the Seraph's shield. He turns the ship around in a 360 motion. He trains his guns onto the Seraph and goes charging in all guns blazing. The Seraph's far superior armour plating simply shrugs of the continual bombardment.

MC can see out of the visor, his attack did nothing but dent the chassis of the Seraph. The Seraph flies straight toward the MC and clips the Longswords wing. The wing then breaks off and the Longsword blows into a million tiny pieces, MC and all...

Think about it this way.

Q: What are the Human Longsword fighters equipped with?

A: Guns and Archer Missile pods.

Q: Good, now what are Guns?

A: High speed material projectiles often lead or kevlar, in this case, unknown.

Q: What are the Covenant and Human cruisers made out of?

A: Covenant cruisers are made of a high density unknown alloy capable of with standing high powered nuclear attacks. Where as Human ships are made of medium density double curved unknown alloy.

Q: Now, what happens when these ships blow apart?

A: The ship(s) will blow up causing a debris field of fast moving high density matter particles.

Q: So, are these "matter particles" the same as the ones the Longsword uses as its primary defensive weapon?

A: No, these particles have a far higher density and are moving at higher velocity than the Longswords equipped weapon's projectiles. In short the faster moving matter is more powerful.

Q: So is there more threat from debris than a Longsword??

A: Yes! (WTF!!)

Q: What level of damage is required to completely disable a Longsword?

A: A small plasma burst that hits any primary systems and/or equipment including; Life Support, Fuel Lines, Engine Stabilizers and/or Wing A or B.

Q: What level of damage is needed to destroy a Longsword fighter.

A: A plasma burst of sufficient magnitude that a medium thick metal alloy could be compromised.

Q: Could both the answers above be transmitted to matter projectiles, such as debris?

A: Yes, a matter projectile/debris could do the same amount of damage.

Q: Is more threat to Longswords created by floating debris or other space faring craft?

A: Floating debris, as it is more numerous.

Q: So Longswords can be easily killed by debris?

A: Yes!!


WTF!!!!





If you haven't read the books, you should. It clearly states several times: "Longswords never win in Aerial combat." They are just meant to draw fire and work in groups of three to take down smaller CCS class Covenant cruisers by the dropping of their entire payload.

MC + Longsword vs Arbiter + Seraph = A) Longsword gets blown to bits. B) Small bit of debris blows Longsword to bits.

It would never work. Covenant have all ways had supremacy in space combat and probably always will...

In NATO phonetic alphabet: [W] hiskey [T] ango [F] oxtrot!!!


















\\: And in closing:

Q: How did the Human fleet commanded by Admiral Preston Cole defeat the Covenant fleet at the Human colony Harvest?

A: Luck

However halo 3 ends please just don't let it be another game play ruining boss battle.

Boss Battles in halo are like a cancer which eats away at the quality of life of this game.

Please just make a fun and challenging final battle hell make a hog chase scene where you are constantly fleeing from a now very snake like and fast gravemind that is constantly lunging tentacles at you. Don't make some stupid fire 3 auto lock rockets at the gravemind or just some simple fire at it till it dies scenario.

Integrate all types of play in the final battle such as mix some anti crowd combat (flood minions rushing about), some moving around to objectives, and not just fire rockets or nades at the big bad boss.

I don't want another boss battle like tartarus, I think a chase like in the Maw would be much better.

I'm just hoping for a climatic, large scale final battle... multiple scarabs blasting away, flood fighting covenant, elites fighting brutes... MC or the Arbiter stuck smack-bang in the middle.
