Personally I think the story line should be longer in H3 since it would be the last in it's series. With more and bigger battles than b4.

I think it should be longer. Not too long though, maybe like 5 more levels or so.

It will be longer.. Since now they're not as "rushed" (even though I believe they weren't really that rushed in Halo 2).

And besides, a short close wouldn't be very fun.

I hope they make it a little longer than Halo 1.

Was Halo 2 shorter or did it go by faster just because it wasn't new and we knew how to play?

Halo CE......(sigh) the good ol' days......

“Go, stranger, and to Lacedaemon tell that here, obeying her behests, we fell.”

yeah seriously i cant think of any reason why it should be shorter, if anything it should be longer than the first one so as to go out with a bang, and be the game of the series you easily recognize as the best

As long as we get a kick ass ending, like the race was sweet, Tarturas was ok, but I'm saying I want to be Master Chief back to back with the Arbitar with a -blam!- load of Marines, Elites and Hunters, staring down the entire Covenant army on Earth, and right after that I wanna blow the hell outta Truth and his fleet whoa! that would kick ass!

Sorry had to rant.

I also don't want a -blam!- boss battle either at the end like Tartarus.

YES. I to think that Halo 3 should be longer than Halo 2 at least 5 levels longer and up, and they should be long and massive levels. Halo 2 was indeed longer than Halo, but it was still to short, the first two did not even count for they were short films, but, hopefully Halo 3 will be longer. I also belive that more than 19 or 20 multiplayer maps should be included let's say 25 - 30 cause that would be awsome. It should also have a kickass prologue, climax, and epilogue. Furthermore the LAST AND FINAL LEVEL OF THE HALO TRILOGY should be longer than H. & H2 combined. But that's just my opinion

Defiantly longer.

Check out all my theories and creations at HBO!

Or read my fanfic, "Effort Cannot Conquer Faith" -- it won a signed novel from Eric Nylund!

Why the -blam!- would anyone want it to be shorter?!

Took the words right out of my mouth. Also, it won't be longer I'd bet. bungie like cramming the entire plot into a few levels.

yeah but i think that it will be more spanned out this time cuz it said "this is how the world ends..." so u wud think it wud be near the very end of the game but i read on gamespot.com i think it was that the trailer was taken in real-time from about 3/4 of the way through the game.

I agree, it was stupid how small H2 ended up to be so why would any sane person want H3 to be smaller or just the same lenght; that would be bogus. H3 should be 9 times the size of H2 and have heaps of large scaled battles and it should have the gameplay of H1. In a more simplistic way of saying that H3 should have 29 levels; that would make H3 go out with a bang.

Do you read the Dark Tower books written by Stephen King because it sounds like you do.

The gunslingers name is Roland, is it not.

If I've got to wait until late 2007 to play the game, I expect it to contain at least 3 months of constant, 24/7 single player gameplay.

Any less and I'll .... umm ... buy the game anyway.


But of course it should be longer - so long as the game play isn't repetative and the story line makes sense.

It needs to be bigger than CE's, and a lot bigger than H2s. A lot of Halo 2's campaign was filler. You had cutscenes making up whole levels, 2 levels that were really one (this trick was often used). And a heck of a lot of vehicle combat, due to infinite vehicles.
