Ok, I've avoided all the HALO threads until now, because I didn't want to be spoiled.

Whew! What a great game, my heart was still thumping for a good five minutes after that last level. INTENSE is hardly the word! My wife that sat there and watched me play it was all hyper because of it too! lol

Ok, so I watched the ending, the basic one, and the credits, then at the end I saw the robot sphere fly off through space! So OH NO! hehe... there can be a sequel of course. What a great story too. I want to check out that prequel book they have... Fall of Reach I think it's called.

Anyway, so what was the conversation again between Master Chief and the robot sphere guy (can't remember his title)? Halo was a weapon to wipe out all life (food for the Flood) and it had a blast radius of 25 light years was it? Then after HALO did that, all of the others (assuming other HALOs?) would follow doing the same. Did I remember that correctly?

So what's this guy gonna do now? Fly 25 light years to the next HALO? lol

DISCUSS!!!

the robot sphere is called The Monitor.


I beat the game a few weeks ago, and I can't remember the end (i beat it at a friend's house, since I cant afford and XBox) :(


Anyways, after the ship and Halo exploded, the Monitor was still alive?


There definiely will be a a sequel since when Master Chief was flying away, he said something along the lines of, the adventure would continue.

They have a prequel book out? Awesome! Where can I pick it up? I hope that the sequels won't take place solely on the rings. I hope to see some action in futuristic human and covenant cities. Maybe the flood will make it to a planet at some point. My only beef with the game's story; why wouldn't the humans and covenant join up (temporarily, of course) in order to get off the ring and destroy halo? I'm not talking about some kind of alliance, but c'mon. Yer a covenant general, and this human cyborg has been kickin yer a$$ all by his lonesome, and now this new, seemingly unstoppable enemy appears. Wouldn't logic dictate at least a temporary partnership? Maybe the secret ending alludes to a new sense of love and brotherhood between covenant and humans.

well the covenant speak english so an alliance could occur in the sequel...

I just beat the game about 15 minutes ago... what an ending... the warthog run in the last 6 minutes is amazing... my heart was pounding... gee i really want a sequel

Keep in mind that if you play Legendary mode, there is a different ending. So, get back to it! You have a whole new mode to play on...the ending is longer and it sings "SEQUEL" all over it...that's all I will say for now :D

beating it on legendary is the real reward. THe +10 second ending is not the reward.

343 Guilty Spark said the pulse had an effective range of about 25,000 light years. A light year is the distance light travels in a year. So even if you travel at exactly light speed, it will take 25,000 years to get out of the pulses range or to another Halo (if there even is one...). So, all I have to say is, :eek: !!!!

While I admire your do or die spirit, I really thought the ending was comepletely worth it. It was totally unexpected, whereas everyone thinks all it is is that you get to see the Master Chief's face. Dude doesn't even have a name, how could he have a face?

His name is John 117 a leader of a elite miltary project called the spartan Project, there was many like him. Hes not a cyborg, Hes a geneticly(SP?) enhanched human. And cortana is actually modeled after a woman that was involved in this project. If you read the fall of reach the official prequel to HALO you would know this :D

Read the book and you get truck loads of cool backround info.

How they got the jump coordinates for halo.
How they met the covenent.
How The "HALO" marines were created.
How we got the cocenent shield tech.
Master chiefs training....

ETC.........

The flood really isnt that difficult if fought properly. On legendary Id rather be fighting the flood then a pack of jackals and a few elites. Trust me.

I agree with Jjax in that beating Legendary is a notable task...and, man...it really improved my gaming for Halo...so, beware of the attack of Maximus coming this summer when we do some on-line action...it's going to be messy :D

Thanks for the info. Can I get the book at a video game store, or only a book store. And if he isn't a cyborg, why do the grunts keep yelling "It's that cyborg!". Also, check out the first paragraph of page 8 in the instruction book, "Genetically-engineered cyborg soldiers in state of the art battle suits."

Pick up the book at any book store. Just ask for "Halo:fall of reach"
