The Halo 2 SPOILER Thread

[Dyne]

Yeah, I finished it in Co-op. It's kind of ridiculous in a Matrix-style way. I think if they didn't have Master Chief's last scphiel it would have been fine where it was. Something really tells me that Microsoft told Bungie to put that last scene in there. It just feels tacked on. "OK LET'S GO KICK ALL OF THEIR ASSES. *black screen... anticipation... black screen... anticipation... black screen... CREDITS... confusion... disgust.. acceptance... disgust*"

And that ending video still doesn't make sense. WHAT questions does the plant have for some AI?

Overall, I'm really satisfied with the game.

So I guess Cortana IS gonna betray us. Damn AI...

Joseph Staten: "When we got back from E3 2003 -- we ran into a big problem. We had wowed the show attendees with our live, game level demo; but when we tried to load a Beta of that same level onto a regular Xbox, it couldn't handle it. We had been running all of the trailers and previous footage, including the E3 2003 New Mombasa level demo from our Xbox dev kits, which in actuality, are more powerful that commercial Xboxes -- something that we had not taken into consideration.

So that's why Halo 2 SP sucked so much. They made all their levels for the development kit, and probably now made all the levels for xbox next. I wonder if we get to see Halo 3 as a port of the "original" halo 2.

You know damn well they changed their idea in the middle of development. "earth will never be the same" - it's the same
The ending of the "i love bees" story.... covenant we massively invading earth. E3 trailer with earth getting nuked. And in one of the bungie updates, aparently Masterchief was jumping from piller to piller and it made the Bungie princess cry. I dont remember that happening. *kicks bungie in balls*

Elite Operative asks: Will there be downloadable updates and maps? Will there be new Campaign stuff?

Yes. We have not announced a schedule yet, but we will be making new downloadable multiplayer maps. They rock too. I've played a couple. There will likely never be downloadable Campaign content, however.

Will playing Halo 1 allow me to understand the story better? Everything was pretty basic and straightforward until the ending which didn't make any sense to me...not even remotely. He's going to Earth to end it, then theres credits, then some plant thing again.... uh, what?

[Acebot44]

Well, the story for Halo 1 is better and more complete but I don't know if it would help though. Captain Keyes was the father of that new Female captain and Johnson was in the first too. The first would explain the flood and the whole deal abou.........yeah, you should play the first one.
