Halo 2 Story Talk (You've been warned!!)

[Miles_Yuhas]

Okay, this is a thread only for the talk of Halo 2's story. IF YOU HAVEN"T FINISHED THE GAME, TURN BACK NOW. You've been warned.



Okay, I'll start off by saying that overall I thought that the story was good, but the ending was flat out terrible!! Also, the last level was cool, but not being Chief in the last level just didn't feel right.

At first, I thought that it was cool being the elite, but after a while it felt like it was taking away the story with Master Chief. I don't think that, that makes any sense, but whatever. I want to hear about that fate of Earth and do not want to hear about the Covenant not really being that evil. I also want to say that I thought that all of Chief's levels were more fun than the elite's, except for the last one.

I guess that it sets the stage for Halo 3 though. Chief returning to earth to "Finish the fight". Halo 3 will also be the last game. I think that is pretty easy to see.

I didnt like playing as an elite at first but the elite arbiter missions were actually better than the master cheif ones. I actually enjoyed the story but they should have made two differnt stories instead of just combining them.

I really hated playing as the elite. I was thinking that maybe it would be good to make a game completely from the covie prespective, but I just felt so mad at some of the story. The whole time, through all the books and everything, the covenant seems evil, and I would not like a group that wants to wipe out all of humanity, but you end up playing half of the game on their side. I really think at least for me, it detracted from the experience.

I really think that was the ****tiest ending I have seen in my life. It would be alright if the sequel was not far away, but it will be another 2-3 years at the soonest. I kept getting confused on why those flood things dont die, if the beam knocks everything out, why cant it knock them out? If it is capable of destroying bugs, and all other animals, why is the flood so different?

Also once you got to the new ring it had that same feeling as the old one. The first level on the ring felt SO MUCH like the old one, and the snowy level felt just like Assualt on the Control Room. I really liked the campaign until the end, it just got bad. I mean, there were only like 2 levels on Earth, I was looking forward to more than 2, or at least be in the vicinity of Earth.

That's why Halo 3 is going to be awesome in terms of Campain. I think that Bungie has now told the story about the Convenant and so i think that in Halo 3, Chief will be the only character playable. The ending sucked, but you must admit that it set the stage for a awesome battle for earth. I also, think that the 2 earth levels were the two funnest levels in the game. The last level was also very sweet.

I fliped though 1up's single-player guide for fun and they said that the big plant guy, whatever he actually does, will play a big role in the next game. I am also interested to see what will become of the Convenant, with the breaking up of them. I think that the alliance at the end of the game may have an effect on what happens to the Convenant.

After the outskirts level there's a cutscene talking about this one elite and then you get to play as the elite and he's trying to kill a heretic who is speaking out against the prophets.

i meant to say that i don't have the game, so you would have to start from the beginning. Also i won't be able to get the game because i don't have an xbox, but the story line is intriguing

Re: Halo 2 Story Talk (You've been warned!!)

Just finished the game, pretty shocking at how they ended this. Halo 3 HAS to come out sometime soon, unless of course Microsoft is behind this and wants to make sure Halo 3 is an Xbox 2 launch title. I don't think having the rest of the story through downloadable content is practical because not everybody has that option available(also they could make more money releasing another $50 game).

A little aside, there is a hidden multiplayer level in the game somewhere, anyone know how to get it? I beat it on Normal, I'm guessing the level is only unlocked through beating the game on Legendary? That's one of the reasons I went through the game in the first place....
