I’ve never understood why heroes have to be tragic. I was GLAD that Harry potter didn’t die, nor did Tony Soprano, for that matter. And I’m glad that John didn’t die. I haven’t yet read any of the novels, so have always accepted that he’s the last Spartan. I want Halo IV to come out with Master Chief, not some ODST. I consider ODST to be Halo 3.75 – it won’t be a full upgrade till John is awakened. And have the Covenant’s basic principals changed, or just the short-term goal that was thwarted in Halo 3? Whether John & Arby are BFF now, there is still a war between humans and Covenant, until I see a peace treaty. And remember, Flood infect easily and absolutely. Was enough of Earth glassed in 3? There’s a LOT of story, as the novels and graphic novels show – I want to play it without a twelve-year-old shooting me in the head when I re-spawn in a predictable spot on a small map.

THis is great, in its adherence to the hero who disappears in the sun(set.. bright glowing object, anyone?).

But having never been able to purchase and /or play any of these (Microsoft is anti-Mac), I can only go by halo.bungie.org’s (and these) links.

The 3rd Halo game (nearly video-only suggests no continuing franchise to me as of yet) has 4 Sides to its conflict. The 2nd has 3. So of course the 1st has 2. The Flood are there, 1 and 2, just not able to fully threaten any of the other sides.

So there is a definite need to have a Brutes vs. Elites segregation within the continuing, expanding Covenant – otherwise, either Covenant or Humanity would beat the other, then be consumed.

I never played the first halo game, but have done what I could to fill in the gaps by reading the novels and then immersing myself in halo2 and halo3. I definately agree with people who enjoyed the overall storyline. I for one found it rather annoying to constantly face the same enemies. So the arbiter switch in H2 really did throw me, and I enjoyed that storyline immensely, my only gripe in that regard is the fact you dont get more of it in halo 3. I am afraid of seeing too many sequels to a game that drive the story into the ground for sake of making a few more dollars, but i’m also giddy at the thought there is still more of the halo universe to discover. Its not out of the realm of possibility that maybe there is something else out there that just kept to itself and was never found by the covenant or us. With such solid foundations and canon material to work from, the halo universe is far from dried up. I personally would be interested in seeing more games that expand on the various viewpoints, or even tell a story involving some of the other remaining spartans.
