In Response To: Re: Hmm (mattroe)


: The Chief lost in outer space? That's an open ending.

: The Chief, after an unknown amount of years in cryo and Cortana losing her
: mind, drifting towards an unknown planet which is teased momentarily
: before the screen cuts away? If that's not an invitation for sequel, I
: don't know what is.

Technically, that's only the Legendary ending, something to keep dedicated fans thinking about - the Normal and Heroic endings go out with a sense of more closure and a satisfying point of reference back to the very beginning of the trilogy. (From talking to people, and seeing MP player's statistics, I don't think a lot of the overall players of Halo actually even see the Legendary endings.)

I'm not saying I'm opposed Halo 4 - but when I beat Halo 3, I felt closure. And when I did view the Legendary ending, it didn't provide a tease of a sequel to me - it provided me something to dream about, to doodle and speculate where the Chief might go. In a sense, the Chief is a character like Batman - the war never stops and the character must always go forward into battle, even if the story we're focused on is resolved.
