Halo 2 ending discusion

Jaged · 2004-11-11, 05:11 PM

WARNING: Spoilers ahead.... obviously

I just finished the game on co-op with my friend and holy shit did that ending suck. I was all pumped up and ready to take control of MC on the forerunner ship when it just cut out. Also, after the credits, what was that clip with the strange tentacle beast talking to cortana? Any ideas as to what that was about?

tentacle rape.

methinks there will be a halo 3, the end is just too cliff hangery

Jaged · 2004-11-11, 05:23 PM

Well of course there is going to be a halo 3. I just dont wanna wait.

Heavygain · 2004-11-11, 07:28 PM

Of couse you dont want to wait, does anyone want to wait?

Once you really start to think about it the ending makes sense.

Oh and that plant thing is Gravemind, something to do with the Flood.

that ending, was, not crappy, but it was, awesome, but sucked all at the same time.

the tentical thing, if i was to guess was the father type dude of the flood, sort of like that woman in first contact was the leader of the borg. but i like frags suggestion too.

I was just waiting for Rick Moranis to randomly appear and the Gravemind to bust out and start singing about wanting to be fed.

Oh noes!

But yeah, I didn't like the end that much. It just left too much to the next game that could have been solved in this. At the begining you have earth under attack and a ring that's going to be activated. At the end you have earth under attack, and about a dozen rings ready to be activated.

Also I'm kinda disappointed that I beat it in less than 2 days and have to wait for halo 3 =/ Guess its time for legendary

Atog · 2004-11-12, 08:57 AM

i'm crossing my figers that you get a more complete ending with legendary :|

Lonehunter · 2004-11-12, 12:49 PM

The tentacles were like the Flood God, remember when Spartan117 and the Arbiter where talking to him?

Now, what he wants to do with Cortana is beyond me, maybe she'll turn and be like Kerrigan in Starcraft.

Everay · 2004-11-12, 01:37 PM

doubt it, but i did notice that, i thought he looked quite a bit like the plant from the little shop of horrors.

my bro bought the strategy guide, i dont know why, but it did proove useful at the end, it said, "how will we find out what happens to cortana, and master cheif? we will just have to wait." but it also said that on legendary some of the cutscenes in the game are different, or totaly replaced, so playing on legendary will reveal stuff

Atog · 2004-11-12, 02:26 PM

I beat it on co-op, and my brother turned off the x-box during the credits, so i missed the whole little shop of horrors guy meets cortana thing. Anyone feel like filling me in?
Thanks

"This grave is very silent now, ever since I've gone.
But I am far from dead, my voice still lives on.
I will ask, you will answer..." says Gravemind (big tentacly beast).

Cortana says "Yeah. Shoot."

end. WTF?
Also, Guiltyspark says the "ark". Wonder what that is.

I've heard a theory, Gravemind is Keyes. He was floodified in H1, remember? He could have hitched a ride on a Covie ship and rooted himself in Delta halo. Another thing, he can teleport.

Octavian · 2004-11-12, 07:43 PM

GS means that the Ark is the main control room where the rest of the Halo's can be activated all at once. So basically it looks like it is either Reach or Earth where it's located.
