I've seen it before, but now that i've beaten Tartarus and actually completed 2, it's dawned on me how utterly abrupt and terrible 2's ending is. For those of you that did it pre-Halo 3; my sympathy lies with you

All it did to me was get me hyped for the next installment. I never thought it was abrupt or out of place.

If that's the message a 12/13 year old got, I feel real sorry for the idiots who didn't get the message.

I can imagine it being good for hype back then, but looking at it now it's rather brutal and feels like Bungie were stopped halfway through and told to ship what they had, which did happen

According to Marty, the original Halo 2 ending is pretty much locked in a vault somewhere. Now that he's left Bungie, he might not even have it in his possession anymore, because legal stuff. It's unlikely to ever see the light of day >.>

It is.  My primary complaint is that you don't finish the game as Chief.  I bet it would have remedied the hate if there was one final mission aboard the Dreadnought where you fight through to an archive of some sort, meet the "sliver" of 032 Mendicant Bias, and get some information about the Ark and the ship itself.

Well it's not Bungie's fault that Microsoft rushed the release of Halo 2

It's not Microsoft's fault Bungie went nuts with their plan, they tried to make a 5 year game in 3, and tried to put it on a console that really should have been the 360

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

I still laugh my arse off
I don't get it.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
You're only 10 years late.

Ok??

The original ending was basically everything that happened in Halo 3, only difference is that it would have almost all been on Earth, because the portal to the Ark, was the Ark.

Excuse me for being 4 when it came out, I still managed to discover Halo 2 MP at 5 years old and even managed to squeeze in a game before the old XBL went down, back when I got my Arcade in 09

Lack of changes from Halo CE to Halo 2, and the fact that the Halo 2 we got was in development for like a year.

Yeah, if you're into the politics and stuff H2 was undoubtedly spectacular. I'm more into the Forerunner/Flood stuff sooo...

They're completely different kinds of stories, but IMO both are written quite well

That search for Regret was like 2 missions.

That was also 2 missions.

True.

I was interested in both until the Forerunner side got too convoluted for me to handle, though. I liked the mystery and ambiance, but wanted to learn more about them and where they were currently in the story; but then it went crazy unneeded depth and felt like it was juggling multiple story lines at the same time and I got bored.

No not the Gondola segment, the entire vehicular assault

I don't even like this kind of music, but QZ's entire atmosphere makes this a definite exception
