mk. non the less like i said not a reliable source of info.

Why is yahoo not a good source? They are good enough to provide you with all kinds of up-to-date news and weather, movies, etc... but not for Halo3(or gaming in general), I see.

As for the ending and having to beat the whole game on Legendary that is false, you only have to beat the last level on Legendary to get the Special ending....
Here is a post I found to prove it.

Unlockable: Special Ending
If you beat the game on Legendary mode, you will get a special, extended ending. Keep in mind that you only have to beat the final stage on Legendary mode, and not necessarily the rest of the game, in order to unlock this ending.

Just thought some people would like to know that....

EDIT: EDIT BIG A%% EDIT:::::
Here is a post for an easter egg that contradict's my other posts, so who the H E double L know's ?????????

What is Halo 3?
What is Halo 3? Are you kidding? Only the most eagerly anticipated video game to hit stores this year, that's what. It'll bring the Halo series to an end, concluding the story of an iconic Earth marine known as "Master Chief" and his struggle against an alien coalition known as the Covenant.

Here's the link to the page stating so/ look at the bottom right hand corner
http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/halo ... ral/530247

Sucks I know but there you have it....

Easter Egg: Spartan 117
When you beat the game, you will be shown a memorial for the men and women that died in-game. Spartan 117 is one of those considered KIA, but if you wait for the credits to end at the end of the game, you will see that Spartan 117 is very much alive.

Bungie did not say his story was over they said the story of the arc was over as to make people assured this wouldnt be like halo 2 where it ends in the middle of the story.

It took me until now to see what you're getting at. I think I will side with you on this issue. It's possible that they will continue John's story, but have it completely independent of the Halo series. When they say "this story arc," they are talking about either Master Chief, or the Halo rings and such. It's safe to say it's the latter of the two.

Why would you trust an article which provides absolutely no support for their claims? If it didn't come from Bungie or an interview, or some other direct, reliable form of authenticity, it can't be taken as completely factual.

Yamagushi wrote:-1) it is so obvious there will be another halo the ending makes it very clear then the fact that legendary shows u drifting towards a planet just hints at it even more. Why put that only on legendary? Because its a hint towards the next game thats why... -2) We need someone who has read all the books that would surely clear things up as theyd probably know what the planet is and possibly even how the story continues. -3) Bungie said this is the end of the story of the Arc -4) if they were ending it they would have stated it was the end of the game entirely instead of being so vague about it.

1) If there is another game, it won't be about the Halo rings. It would be about Master Chief, for reasons I detailed earlier. It's either the end of the Halo story or the end of Master Chief's story. Choose.
2) I have, most have. The only logical planet would be Onyx. It's the shield world, an area safe from the Halo rings being activated. It's also the last known location of the other Spartans.
3) For the 500th time, it is not the end of the "story of the Arc." There is no object called "the Arc." You are talking about the "Ark" and that is not what they freaking said. It is the end of this story arc, not the end of the story of the Ark. Please try to comprehend this before you go rambling about a non-existent thing, as you have done, twice now.
4) Which is exactly what I've been saying. It is not the end of John's story (As I see it now), but rather just the story of the Halo rings.

*JP*, all you're doing now, with your continous edits, is adding in useless information that we already know. Oh really, John is alive? This is blasphemous! This entire thread isn't about that, nope, not at all. Thank you so much for posting that brand new information.

Wow just slap me in the face j/k that stuff doesnt bother me bro. Anyway back to the subject, that being obviously no-one knows whats next and we probably won't for a while so I do agree with you there Tural (that this whole thread and what everyone posted (not just mine..lol) is useless) because we still have no actual proof of wheather there will be or won't be......

warlord · Post by **warlord** » Mon Oct 01, 2007 12:45 pm

I wouldn't be surprised if they go onto onyx or other shield worlds.
bungies made the games about the swords of the forerunners plan now would e a good idea to work on the shield of the plan.

But we're speculating, you're just restating things that everyone in this thread knows. The entire purpose of this thread is to discuss the fact that he didn't die, and it was left open at the end. Why are you restating that he didn't die? I honestly don't even understand how you came to think that was useful information to post, considering we've been discussing that for 44 posts.

That's as if I posted "Hey guys, did you know that Halo 3 has a campaign?"

Nice could tie in with the spartan varients they made and never really explained.

Are there any books taking place after this part of the story(halo 3)?

TURAL WROTE:

What, that we don't know. Should be just left at that ( WE DONT KNOW)

The entire purpose of this thread is to discuss the fact that he didn't die, and it was left open at the end. Why are you restating that he didn't die?

Really, I thought that's what everyone was doing but anyway here's what you wrote:

Oh really, John is alive? This is blasphemous! This entire thread isn't about that, nope, not at all. Thank you so much for posting that brand new information.

Still the fact being we don't know.
I'm done now, I just wanted to put my 2 cents in this thread and obviously some people, not mentioning any names, seemed to get irritated of me doing so, but anyway.....

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Mon Oct 01, 2007 1:46 pm

That didn't even make sense. Please rephrase it in a logical manner.

Basically, here's what I gather from your post:
1) Nothing should ever be discussed unless we know absolutely, 100%, everything about the issue. Bye bye to modding, bye bye to basically everything, seeing as how, by your logic, we should never try to make sense of something when we don't know every single detail about it.

2) You missed the entire purpose of my post. Go re-read it. You posted something that we already know, and therefore, it served absolutely no purpose to even say it.

3) That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. We do know he's still alive, it shows him being alive. What the hell are you talking about?

Pay attention, I'll try to make this even more blatantly obvious than I have already, because it apparently wasn't clear enough.

killarzachary wrote:If you beat the last level in Legendary, you notice that the master chief and Cortana are drifting towards some futuristic metal planet in the deep regions of space. Does anybody have any clue what planet this is, or have any theories that they might want to share?

So please explain how your comment is relevant at all. We already know what you stated, so why even state it? It was completely pointless. Furthermore, that isn't even an easter egg. It's an additional cinematic sequence. It is not some hidden thing put in the game as a fun bit to watch, it actually builds upon the story and serves a very distinct purpose.

I guess restating the obvious is important, because nobody is capable of comprehending the entire purpose of the thread. Thank God you told us what we already know.

I'll be sure to go here and say "Skulls are in campaign."
Then I can go here and say "Easter Eggs are in Halo 3."
I'll follow up on that by going here and saying "Forge is a game mode."

Sure would be helpful to have me go tell everyone what they already know, considering the threads are about the issue I would be telling them about. I'll get right on that.

DUDE!? SINCE WHEN!?

Did Bungie say that this was the end of MC's story? Or the story of Halo?
Because it seems to me that they want to continue MC's story, seeing as how they left the decision open. I can't say that I, or many other people, would complain if they did.

If that whole Halo--Marathon theory is correct, I'd be highly disappointed.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Mon Oct 01, 2007 3:04 pm

They did not say if it's the end of Master Chief's story, or the end of the Halos' story.

Yamagushi, saying that just because they put that that ending of MC floating towards a planet on legendary means it hints at a sequel isn't a valid argument because if I remember correctly, the ending legendary cutscene of the first Halo didn't actually happen storywise.

Agreed. It doesn't HAVE to be regarded as canon.

I'll build on this.

If you watched Pirates of the Caribbean 3, it hints at another movie about the fountain of youth, although I know for a fact that they won't make another movie on the same series. The movie was a disappointment, but it makes a good example.

Halo 2 ended with a sequence that could only be seen in legendary also. Although it was obvious that the series was not finished and would be continued with another game, Bungie may be using the same technique to hint another game. If I were to take a guess, It would be obvious that I think another game is on its way. Why would you end a series after selling a record-breaking amount of games? I'm pretty sure if they were to make anything, even if it was crap, that a huge sum of people would buy it JUST because it's halo.

Erm...I don't think Halo 2 had any Legendary exclusive ending bits...

Correct, it did not.

JacksonCougAr · Post by **JacksonCougAr** » Mon Oct 01, 2007 6:02 pm

I want to see them move away from the whole halo 'rings' story and move on to some new whorl-wind adventure with the mighty Masterchief and the voluptuous Cortana.

But since I'm lame and havn't read all the paper-fiction I cannot make a guess as to what that adventure may be! I'll wait patiently... Like I did for Halo 2... then halo 3...
