Halo 3 seemed to be a truly amazing ending for the series as a whole.
Humanity is at peace.
The Covenant has been shattered.
The Flood exterminated.
The Arbiter finally returns home.
Master Chief’s story ends the way it started: In a cryotube waiting to be awakened when needed.
It was such a fitting and emotional ending for Halo. But now, Master Chief is waking up. The Covenant is still out for trouble, and humanity is entering war again. It kind of eradicates the effect the original ending had on me for all these years.
Now here’s my question: Will you look back at the original games th same way again once you’ve played Halo 4?

FIRST!
Actually with the flood being sampled and studied on all the installations their not dead…not by a longshot since there still are haloz left
yes I will still love the original halos. However i dont expect to play them as much so im trying to get my fill
It’s not the entire Covenant, just some religious fanatics that still think the Forerunners are gods.
Bungie’s games will always be better in terms of story. Period. I really wish they weren’t reviving the Chief. Like you said, it was the perfect ending.

Oh no, not on Waypoint!
/on topic it’s a new trilogy but the first one will always be awesome no matter what happens in the second.

I found it to be cliche and anticlimactic. Halo 2’s cliffhanger may have been notorious and loathed by many, but Halo 3 was implied to be the ending. when it pulled a legendary ending out of it’s -Yoink-, I raged even harder than I did at Halo 2’s.

I don’t understand how you could say that Bungie’s games will always be better in terms of story. You haven’t played a 343i halo campaign yet.
As much as I do think you’ll wind up being correct, simply because of nostalgia on my part, I’m getting a good feeling from the campaign for this game and I think it does have its fair shot to compete with the original trilogy in terms of story.
I gotta admit I loved the Halo 3 ending, in fact Halo 3 was my first game, and was just nothing but a video game. Then I got into matchmaking, completed it on Legendary and got all the skulls, and just wanted more.
After that I did the exact same thing for Halo 2, then Halo ODST, 1 and finally Wars.
After that I was really impressed with the story, Wars was never amazing but fairly good, ODST was okay I guess but I really loved Master Chiefs story.
After that Reach came out and I was so exited, but it was such a disappointing.
Nothing like the proper halo Trilogy that we all loved, I am so exited for Halo 4 now.
The story seems really good, fighting the Elites again, and this is gonna reveal alot about Halo’s Forerunners.
Of course if you’ve read the books like me you’ll know quite abit about them, but I’m exited for this, my most recent Halo to play was Anniversary which is just damn near impossible for some reason so I’m happy to get another Halo again.
I’ll see you guys on the battlefield

I don’t understand some of the hate of Halo 3’s Legendary Ending. I can get hating Halo 2’s ending because the plot was left pretty open and we were not too sure what happened to anyone or anything. The ENTIRE plot of Halo 3 is resolved and has the awesome memorial scene. We find out Chief and Cortana are actually still alive and the only loose end is that we only know they’re headed to a planet…thing.

Say’s Bungie’s games will always be better in terms of story.
Has yet to play Halo 4, 5, and 6.
Come on dude, at least acknowledge that you’ll sit down and play Halo 4, 5, and 6, and at the end THEN decide who told a better story.

you dont know that yet. you haven’t played halo 4 yet. Also reading the forerunner saga and glasslands h4 has very good potential to be a fantastic Halo story and game

You’ve gotta remember this lasted for 5 years before h4 so it wasn’t just a pointless ending

Meh… The bro-look in the FuD’s bay was wanting for sure. I really don’t see things the way you do.
> Humanity is at peace.
Humanity is still fighting the Insurrectionists, ONI still has shady members in a few keys places and at best there is a cease-fire amongst the greater Sangheili.
> The Covenant has been shattered.
Shattered but never truly defeated. The so called “Storm” faction was always a predicted variable in my view, and not the only one of its kind. Never does an empire shatter without those that seek its resurrection being close by and in the shadows.
> The Flood exterminated.
Defeat is merely the addition of time. The Flood are not defeated, the Gravemind conceived on Halo 5 was defeated. Such a huge difference in thinking.
> The Arbiter finally returns home.
He seeks to return… Odysseus never had it easy and Halo is very Greek
Glasslands has shown us how homey his home is.
> Master Chief’s story ends the way it started: In a cryotube waiting to be awakened when needed.
You only get this if you beat the Legendary difficulty. It’s funny how many people never knew about this.

… With what I’ve said, it’s merely continuing the story. Not sure where the eradication of events has occurred when we never had a happy ending to begin with.

Humanity is at peace? No! No! No! Just no! Some of the covenant still believe in the path, and still want to destroy humanity( which is also why the Covenant has not been completely shattered). But the biggest thing is that the insurrection sees the UNSC weak after the war and sees it as their time to act against the UNSC - I hope we get some insight on this, because this has not been discussed.
The Arbiter returns home but there is a conflict with other elite factions.
The legendary ending is there for a reason, plain and simple as that.
