I don’t really like Cliffhangers, but they make a very good use of that plot device.
Also, Cortana being villain and Warden Eternal NOT dying is something incredibly original for me, almost every Halo game has his antagonists defeated on their own game (with the exception of the Prophets)
Sad yet great ending
In my opinion, i thing the campaing Is to empty.
Not a fan of the major cliffhanger. Made me feel like the game wasn’t finished - like there is another chapter they forgot to put on the game disc or something. Sure, previous Halos had a cliffhanger to a degree but it was always finalized. If you never ever played Halo again after that version - the story was complete to that point. You could ‘imagine’ what perhaps happened next. Now there is this big hole.
It was a good ending. It could of been better I guess. I can’t really say how, but I feel like the ending didn’t really give me a kick like Halo 3’s ending or Halo Reach’s. But the ending was good enough to make me throw money at the next Halo when it comes out.
