wouldn't it be cool if the game ended all happy and while everybody is all calm and relaxed and saying I can't beleive its over, if you look closely in the background you can see a greenish-tannish blob moving away off screen indicating that there is one flood still alive. Or, you see one of those small round flood infesting things moving in the background.

I could've sworn bungie has said it a few times, but im not sure. I am sure that they said that in h3 you would FINISH the fight.

You would finish all of the fights that you started in Halo 1 and finsh the story of the ark, that's all I heard.

In order to finish the fight what must be done?
Stop the Flood/Gravemind
Stop the Covenant/Prophets
Stop the Rings from being activated
Find out what happend to Cortana

After all this is done, what will there be left to do?

The only thing i can think of is that maybe a human v. human war, and that wouldn't be Halo.

Bungie might make games that show what the other spartans were doing while you were playing master cheif, but I doubt it. My bet is that what the spartans have been doing will all be revealed in H3 anyway.

Maybe a spartan turns evil, or some type of other conflic occurs.

Quite possible, but fighting another spartan? They would have to have lvls leading up to the fight between spartans which would mean fighting rogue humans (or something stupid like robots). And then the final battle would last about as long as a 1v1, suddendeath on xbox live.

I admit, bungie could take the scraps of whats left over from h3 and make an h4, but i hope not. I think they might make another game based on the halo universe, but not an h4.

that would be pretty cool but, the master cheif dying? na he is way to badass to die to a little flood thing, i think they should have like a spartan vs spartan battle like one of the spartans survived besides MC and joined the covenent. thatll get you nogin thinking, i think(i dint read all the posts when i posted this)

Striker54:"That's a good idea, the second to last cutscene or something should be of master chief struggeling to walk trying to deactivate the ring, then he has to start crawling and with one hand he pulls out the icon and the rest of his body falls to the ground then shortley after miranda and johnson come with the monitor or something."

-That's exactly what I had envisioned. Great mind think alike lol

-and Bungie has said that the "Halo" series is a trilogy.

-and mabye if the chief doesn't get infected by the flood then perhaps a different spartan should and the MC should fight him at the end......the final boss battle.

I have heard many interseting ideas about halo 3. Now this is what i have to say. we can all almost agree that the gravemind is some kind of forerunner. At the end of Halo 2 the Chief is on a ship heading back to earth. If u have an xbox 360, and u downloaded the halo 3 trailer u would have some idea about the story from reading the discription. In the discription, it says that there is some thing under Africa. So, my idea is that when the cheif returns to earth he discovers that the gravemind was the one who built the halo rings so he goes back to where the gravemind is. so when he goes back he will also meet cortana and 343 guilty spark because they are with gravemind. when cheif meets up with gravemind, he gives cortana back to MC. gravmind tells him that there is a halo ring under africa and the flood and covenant were goin to destroy earth to get to it, so the chief goes back to earth to stop the flood and covenant from doing so. At the end i believe that the cheif will stop both sides from destroying earth.

Hey Arese19, ur ending sounds a bit like FarCry. When I was reading First Strike, their The Spartan Kelly and some female doctor escaped in some ship, i say they end up landing on some ring. Doctor dies, kelly becomes a flood super weapon.

Wow, and here I'd think the gravemind would eat Master Chief, and any humans on the ring like Keys and Johnson.

"For you, the day that the Hicks graced your village was the most important day of your life. For me...it was Tuesday."

A few people are saying that the Master Chief will not die because he is too "bad ass" or that his death would be too depressing. The fact of the matter is that the Master Chief NEEDS to die in Halo 3. Why? Because he is a soldier that is built for the covenant war, and only the covenant war. He is feared by the covenant, and revered by the humans. But when the war is over, he will not have a hero's welcome. It would most likely be something like what happended to Ender in the Ender's Games books: every nation on Earth would want to claim him as the leader of their armies, but none can be allowed to have him. The obvious answer to this problem is to kill the Master Chief. But that is just lame and Bungie knows it. They will make him die a heroic death in Halo 3, I guarantee it.

But how? He has to fight off a covenant fleet, destroy the flood, -blam!-slap Cortana and find out what the hell is wrong with her, and somehow destroy or disable the rings.

The object in Africa is obviously the Ark. Earth was attacked by the Covenant in Halo 2 not because it was human turf (they didn't know humans were there) but more likely because they were looking for the Ark. So as far as the chief taking care of the rings, he will probably reclaim the Ark from the Covenant and than either make the rings self destruct or disable them.

As far as the Gravemind is concerned, I do not agree with Forsaken Raik that the Gravemind is a forerunner. Its more likely that he either controls the flood, or helps control them (multiple Graveminds perhaps? One per ring?). I do not think the flood will come up in Halo 3. None of the flood were on Regret's ship (as far as we know) and they are contained on the rings. Bungie could have it so the flood learned how to fly a few ships that were left behind, and it is perfectly plausible, but that would make Earth too chaotic I think. A war on three fronts?

So here is how it goes: the humans fight the covenant on Earth and have a chance of winning (since the covenant can't glass the planet. They need the Ark.), the Master Chief either rejoins the surviving Spartans of Reach or the newly trained Spartans that Mendoza trained after the Master Chiefs group, and they go and beat all the ass at the Ark. It could end up being that the Spartans fight there way to the control center, but most of the Spartans are dead by the end of the struggle and it is left up to the chief to finish the job. Maybe like a classic "we will hold this point. Finish the mission!" kind of thing. And then the Master Chief faces impossible odds, even for him, but is able to destroy the rings by using the control center but has to sacrifice himself.

Oh, or maybe it could be that after the initial breach of the Arks defenses, the Spartans split up and plant charges throughout the facility to blow it to hell, and after they plant the explosives they get tied down inside by a ridiculous number of Covenant and decided to detonate the explosives to save humanity.

Just a thought.

I think the Covanet make some super elite soilder that overpowers Spartans. And like, somewhere in the game, they return to the first planet the Covanet invaded Harvest, and find a Covanet city.

To Gaming Guru:

-I think you're right that Gravemind is not a forerunner. As far as I can tell, the forerunners were human or were in some way related to humans--how else could Guilty Spark recognize the MC so easily?

-Secondly, I don't think there will be multiple spartans in Halo 3 because the Halo books supplement the game, the game doesn't supllement the books. So I think that Bungie will follow the storyline it has already created rather than base it off what happened in the books...if that makes any sense.

-Anyways...I think your ideas are preety sweet and accurate and it's a shame that Bungie already knows exactly what they're going to do and it really doesn't matter what we think would be cool...(sigh) o well Im sure theyll do an awesome job!
