They should have tee-bagged Tartarus at the end… or destroy the universe, whichever is easiest.

I honestly wouldn’t have changed anything.

I feed on cliffhangers.

You’re like living in the past man. You’ve got to… expand your mind. Man.

Free your mind

I loved Halo 2 so much because of this big mega cliff hanger like in Halo 3. You can speculate everytime what´s happening next and that is so much fun. I would love if 343i make in their Halo 4 a cliffhanger too. Chief gives a epic sentence and then on big screen “to be continued”.

This is a very tricky question to answer. I like it exactly how it is with Chief saying “Sir finishing this fight!” now, but at the time, I reeeally wanted to kill Truth, so badly. xD

After finishing Halo 3 though, and getting that “killing Truth fix,” I wouldn’t change anything in the end of Halo 2. It gets you ready for the sequel.

Forerunner Tank.

Instead of basing the last Mission around the Arbiter and the defeat of Tartarus, focus instead on the final Mission being the very beginning of Halo 3, where John lands upon Earth.

Obviously the Mission would have to greatly different to the one present in Halo 3, in order to allow to be a definitive conclusion to the story, perhaps allow the player to kill Truth and change up the storyline in Halo 3. It just didn’t make much sense for Halo 2 to finish on a Mission basing around the Arbiter. From what I know, an entire third act never made it into the storyline of Halo 2’s Campaign, something of which Joseph Staten then used for Halo 3.

How it was originally intended. Remember, Halo 2 initially had a mission on a Covenant carrier after Cairo Station, Forerunner Tank after Regret and Keyship (or something like that) at the very end with you, obviously getting into the Forerunner ship.
