Was the Halo trilogy always planned out from the beginning? Becuase with the cortana letters, it looks like it was.

Most trilogies have to be planned or the storyline won't flow smoothly.

Look at Lord of the Rings for example. They were all made right after the other, they have a few books as history of hobbits and the language ... and the author even made up a language to go along with everything.

This is kind of common sense.

Yes, the "Halo Bible" that people refer to has been in place for some time. Given the ILB storyline and various book tie-ins, it seems as though people like Jason Jones knew how this would all go back in 99.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

The story was planned out. But I think they actually wanted to finish it with two games instead of three.

True, but after watching the documentary it hit me. They could've given us the ending to the thing with H2...but they knew to do justice to the final chapter they needed the tri-core power of the 360. I officially forgive Bungie for the cliffhanger now. lol
