So I"ve been trying to imagine how Halo 3 unravels. Ive heard a lot of great theories, awesome weapon ideas, and kickass new vehicles. I've also read alot of garbage, but it comes with the territory. Anyways, heres my speculation on how Halo 3 will happen between the end of Halo 2 and up until the trailer as well as how the game will introduce new weapons and vehicles into the game, and what I think they'll be.
Cutscene: Same one from the end of Halo 2, but updated using the new Halo 3 graphics, etc... Masterchief say" here to finish this fight, sir" and then we see him begin to climb up the ship. Cuts to MC breaking through an airlock.
First Level: Search ship, find command center and take out truth... the only weapons are Cov. weapons and you start w/o a gun, as usual. Great place to introduce a new cov weapon or two, such as a duel-mode needler (aka needler shotgun). Also, you can pick up Jackel shields and use them, and pikes are available for use as well.
Cutscene: MC chases truth to the dock where he enters a phantom before MC can catch him and heads for Earth. Releasing the ship is about to self-destruct, MC hops into a new Cov vehicle, a small space combat ship and takes off after Truth.
On the trip towards Earth, MC radios the commander to tell him which ship truth is in and to take him out. The commander responds "The Mac guns are down chief, they've already taken out the ground power sources, just like on Reach." MC stairs blankly, unable to believe it....thecommander then says " theres another situation chief , out side New Mombasa. I think you might be the only one who knows how to deal with it" "what do you mean sir?" " just look down" the camera zooms in on MC's visior as he looks down towards Earth past truths ship and it becomes more clear in a visor.... a giant circle on the surface of earth that has the same detials as the outside of the Halo rings.
The camera then shows the two ships racing towards Earth and focuses upon the relic, which is clearly visible from space. It appears as though it had been hidden under the whole of the sahara desert, and looks just like a crater on the moon (or a Halo), except metallic. The camera fades as a massive storm begins to develop above the ring, straight in the path of MC. As it goes black, we hear MC through heavy static radioing his coordinates, yelling mayday but he is cut off and then it is totally silent
Next Cutscene: Back at Halo Installation 5, the Arbitor talks to Keyes and Sgt. Johnson. They decide they must join forces and get to the Ark to stop truth (thats right, I'm sayin that massive structure in the desert is the ARK). They rejoin the battleships and prepare to enter slipstream, but are shocked to see High Charity block their path and hear cortana over the comm, telling them to stop.
Arbitor Level inhear as well perhaps... maybe some space combat
Next Cutscene: We enter the storm and find MC's ship in a tailspin.. we watch as he ejects from the ship and goes into a free fall... the rest happens quiet like the description of the Spartans jump from a pelican in The Fall of Reach... read it if you don't know whats going on.
MC crash lands on the outskirts of a battle in New Mombasa between Cov, UNSC and most surprising of all, more Spartans. Three of them, Fred Linda and one unknown, go to cover the chief and take him to a more fortiefied position. They revive him, tell him that the COV. have been trying to keep them away from the structure since they began digging at the sight using Scarabs after MC, keyes and johnson disappeared. Fred slips the gloves off of a dead Spartan that was in the Med base before they arrived and offer them to MC, whose own gloves had been destroyed when he crash landed. He then picks up the new pistol in the game (complete with duel-wielding and a scope), and grabs a rocket launcher and says "lets go"
Next Level: 4 player co-op ( you can play it on earlier levels as well, but this one has 4 distint personalities, where player 1 is MC, player is Fred, etc.),
We're also introduced to a new, smaller vehcile perfect for desert and urban warfore... the Hedgehog... based off the chasis of a dune buggy, complete with two min-turrets mounted above the cockpit. Includes a boost. Theres plenty of opprotunites to use this as well as the tank and near the end of the level, they enter a UNSC base, grab some new weapons, including the new Halo 3 AR and board a pelican. MC enters the cockpit and they head off, and we get our first taste of some human aerial combat, since this pelican has been retrofitted with turrets and rockets. The original warthog, rocket and guass hog's appear here as well.
Cutscene between this level and the trailer:
Not sure exaclty how MC is going to arrive to the point in the trailer, but I think its easy to imagine the ship crashing, MC getting knocked out and hearing Cortana saying all that stuff to him while he's unconscious.... also, depending on how you're playing ( single, 2 person + co-op), you'll see that many spartans walking toward the structure in the trailer.
I'll add more to this eventually.
