Finishing the Fight: The Halo 3 Discussion Thread

Halo 3 WILL NOT come out for XBox, most likely Xbox 2.

Come on, its plain and simple..why release a sequel when Halo 2 is bound to spend atleast the next 5-7 months as one of the top best selling games of the month.

Plus, they're probably still sitting back, lighting cuban cigars with $100 bills, riding the wave of success of Halo 2.

 

I'd hate for everyone to expect another cover up production theory. Was anyone besides me heart broken when they said it was coming out a year early in secret and it didn't? If I were you, I wouldn't get my hopes up even a little.

 

Halo 3 will probably be the last Halo game and it's going to be great. That's all I know.

 

I will probably be sad when it's all over, like LOTR. I didn't even stop to really think about the fact that they were all over until the very end of ROTK.

 

Here's a theory:

When the UNSC discovered that Harvest had been destroyed they found a message that read, "Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their tool."

Maybe they must destroy the humans because they are in the likeness of their gods (The Forerunners) which is a sin (to them). It is kinda like the humans are a graven image to their gods, and they must be elimenated. In Halo 3, maybe it is revealed that the humans are the decendents of the Forerunners.

Does any of you get what I am saying?

 

What if a new race comes into play? I don't know. But it seems kinda boring just to fight the jackels, brutes,drones, amd the flood if the grunts,huntes, and elites are on our side. That means we may have to be able to play as a brute. Who knows? I may be wrong.

 

I'm for a Halo 3 release on Xbox2. C'mon, it makes the most sense logically and financially for all concerned. You're gonna launch this new, latest-generation console that will cost a pretty penny. How do you convince new and current Xbox owners to go get it? Simple: launch it with a killer app like Halo 3. People want this game, and they'll go get it....along with their new console.

 

Xbox 2 is supposed to be released in 2006. I don't want to wait that long.

I have thought about this before, most people don't believe me that we are the forerunners or descendants. The evidence to support it is overwhleming. The very fact that the only people allowed to be reclaimers are human should be enough. Or the fact that 343gs called human history a record of all their lost time. Or the fact that Halo is perfectly suited for humans temperature wise, and atmosphere wise.

 

Although, I was disappointed at how abruptly that ended, it did set up nicely for Halo 3.

 

Go here for all the Halo info you will ever need. Go and be enlightened.

Oh, and before anyone starts plaigiarizing other people's theories: The Halo Story Page, filled withs gobs of well-written theories on everything Halo.

Oh, and Halo 2 was never[/b[ delayed. It's a common misconception. Bungie never confirmed any "release date" given by any source. They never said it was going to be in Holiday 2003, they never said it was going to be in April 2004, it was all rumors that became so heavily believed in, people thought they were true. When Bungie announced Big Green is comin' back on November 9, everyone decided that Bungie "delayed" their beloved game.

Also, many people feeled cheated out of their big Covenant invasion of Earth. What do we get? TWO levels on Earth. That's it. However, keep in mind the title of the series. Halo. Obviously, it makes more sense to focus on the ringworlds than a war between two races. Even so, I really wish we got to play as the Chief more. Oh well.

I hope Halo 3 won't go "buddy cop" on all of us with th Master Chief and the Arbiter.

 

halo 3 would make the most sense on xbox 2 but just the wait sucks

 

Well, during the wait for Halo 3, Doom 3, GTA:SA, Half-Life 2, etc. will most likely be on the Xbox by then, thus making the wait for Halo 3 that much easier.

Besides, we have Halo 1 and Halo 2. Good enough for me.

 

Very True Antilles

And Halo 2 Legendary is going to take me right up to Halo 3 anyway.

Just coming to the end of the first level which has been a complete killer.

Tip for anyone playing it: Work out the checkpoints and go back for the guns left behind before hitting them. This will not make the guns disappear as you have moved them away. Place them just before the next checkpoint, so you can go back for them during the next scene.

 

Antilles, I am not plaugerizing other peoples' theories. I came up with them on my own, even though they thought of it before me. Anyway, that is some good stuff.

 

Just in case, Jango.

 

If Halo 3 is on xbox 2, the graphics could be a lot better, and the game could be longer with better AI.
That's somthing to look forward to. Besides, Halo 2 and Halo are two of those very rare games that you can play over and over while still having fun. But I really hope that Xbox 2 plays regular Xbox games.

 

Hey all.
First time poster here, I played the Halo2 but after reading all these post I can't wait for Halo3. I'm just irked that it ended so abrubtly!!
I sat there for a full min. staring at the screen going WHAT THE!^%$@ Thats it?? Oh well.

 

now that would be crazy, febuary 9'th, i havnt beaten the game on legenday, but if ur telling the truth, im gunna have a tough time choosing halo3, or kotor2 for pc...

 

I don't think it will come out on February 9th. As a matter of fact I hope it doesn't. I havn't had time to enjoy Halo 2 yet. I think holiday 2005 would be a good time to release it. (But if the Xbox 2 comes out early in 2006, then it should be released then.)

 

Halo 3 WILL NOT be released in Feb. It's not even remotely possible, unless they wanted it to suck.


For all you who are complaining about Halo 3 releasing on Xbox 2 which releases in 2006: BIG DEAL! It was a 3 year gap between Halo and Halo 2. You're actually getting only 2 years this time. Be happy.

 

I wonder what would happen if Halo 3 suddenly ends up with really tough competition from other games being released before it?

Not even bungie can be sure that something wont come along and make people think "Oh Halo 3, well after having an unfinished game in Halo 2 I dont think I will bother and instead buy so and so because it has surpassed it in the gameplay stakes"

The creators are playing a dangerous game here. If they mess up they become a laughing stock and even the XBOX 2 might suffer for it. A very dangerous game indeed. They knew how many people were waiting for it and how high the anticipation was, they shouldn't mess with gamers like this.

All you have to do is look at the new Goldeneye game and what a crock that is. Could this also be the way of Halo 3 if it takes years to be released?

 

Didn't Bungie and/or Microsoft say that the Febuary 9th thing at then end of the game was **?

 

Yeah, they debunked it.

 

Holy crap. Just noticed how bad I messed up the markup codes in that one post.

Too late to edit...
