Halo: The Storyline... wow.

[LOLyourFace]

What an involving storyline for a FPS. The quality of the story is definitely great as it was based on a self-titled novel. It makes the actual gaming experience much more immersive as well. Here are some simple questions:

1. Who created Halo and why?
2. Who created Flood and why?

I haven't beaten it yet, don't spoil the ending, just answer those two. Thanks!

an interesting thought:
Halo is referred as Ark of the Covenant. And the Ark is the only thing that can survive from Flood. Let's think about that for a minute. It's a sweet reference to the Noah's Ark from the Bible!

In the end, the main character finds his mojo.

 

[Anubis]

wait for HALO 2 im guessing it will help


o and the soundtrack is awsome

1) an anchient race of peoples
2) they wernt created. they always existen. HALO was made to kill them if the infestation got out of hand

 

[Wingznut]

Might want to put "SPOILERS" in your title.

Oh yeah, and Anubis is correct. Although I don't think Halo 2 will have much of anything to do with Halo itself, or the Flood. It's going to take place on Earth, as the Covenant have convinced themselves that ridding the universe of human beings is in their best interest.

r u talking the xbox or pc version?

are they the same?

 

[Kelvrick]

Maybe I missed something or forgot (beat it a while ago) but why coudln't they destroy the flood outright?

Because it destroys all life, iirc. But since the machines are basically in control of it, they don't really give a rat's @ss about life.

(I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. )

You are correct. Halo kills all life. I haven't beat the game since it originally came out for XBox, but if my memory serves, that is correct.

 

[TuxDave]

Max Payne 2 had a nice storyline too. And the way they designed (artistically) some of the levels cannot be beaten by any game today.

 

[JoeKing]

I bet they put time travel in somehow. Almost every storyline nowadays incorporates time travel. Its like a cop out for that oooh ahhhh effect. :disgust:


--edit--
oh yeah this in regard to the Halo 2 storyline

No, no. What I meant is why the people who built Halo couldn't just destroy the flood. They seemed to be able to confine them into those little prisons. Your guns seem to be able to kill them well enough, so why couldn't beings with the ability to crate Halo destroy the flood?

who created HALO anyways?

 

[rh71]

Yup the game was way ahead of its time. Soundtrack was phenomenal.

i told everyone that in my firswt post

i beleive cortana says it was "built by the forrunners of the galexy or universe" IE anchient race of peoples

 

[LOLyourFace]

bump

bump

 

[thirtythree]

I don't know much about the storyline but the game itself isn't much fun. so.. another bump for you I guess.

 

[MaxDSP]

I loved fighting the covenant but the Flood just outright sucks. I hope Halo 2 does not have ANYTHING to do with the flood and just focuses on the Covenant.

 

[Yossarian]

there was a story? I just kept shooting and driving and flying until the credits rolled.

no! not at all!

Ark of Covenanty = thingy that the israelis carried the tencommandments around in while wandering in the desert for 40 years, later housed in a temple. it is a carrying box, not a boat!!

Noah's ark != Ark of Covenant!

Yea for misconceptions.


And from the little I've played of Halo, I liked the story.

Is this like a cruise to Hawaii, where you get a Lei ?

 

[Fenixgoon]

halo was built by the forerunners to wipe out the flood's food (everything--- humans, covenant, etc.). i liked the mini floods, not the flood warriors.. god they were a pain, especially the ones with the rockets. i'd drop them, but 1/2 a second before that they'd fire a rocket and BOOM im done.

i beat the game on XBOX solo on legendary mode

4 words: shotgun, plasma pistol, grenades

shotgun takes out troops, pistol takes down shields/flyers, nades to deal with groups.

i found that to be a fairly good combo at the end of the game. the human pistol is also good, since it is quite powerful.
ammo for these weapons is common, and if im running low i just let the game feed me more infested convenant/humans
