I finally got a 360. And once it’s delivered, I’ll have Halo 3 too. (Weeeeee!)
Now I’ve played Halo 3 before, in fact I’ve played Halo 1 and 2 before as well. So I’m not completely unfamiliar with the games, however most of my play time has been in multiplayer meaning I’m not at all with it when it comes to the storyline. I did go through a good deal of 1, but didn’t complete it, and I don’t remember anything about it (that was a long time ago).
So I was wondering if anyone knew of a summary, or maybe a video, that goes through and pretty much summarizes Halo 1 and 2 for people who are starting with Halo at 3? I’ve been googling around a bit but haven’t found what I was hoping and figured someone here might know a decent resource :sen:
[QUOTE=kirupa;2338614]haha! I think there were some threads in this forum where people tried to analyze the deeper meanings of Halo, humans, spartans, the covenant, etc.
Halo 3 has also completely consumed my free time - even today. I am trying to get to level 45, but I just can’t seem to cross the 43 threshold![/QUOTE]
I’m not too worried about meaning… yet. I just want to make sure I’m not confused when I start playing it.
If I had my copy, I could teach you how to play
[whisper]And by that I mean die quickly[/whisper]
[QUOTE=Esherido;2338651]* Sigh * I remember the good ol’ days of Halo 3. I got tired of the multiplayer (It was too balanced.) and moved on to Call of Duty 4.[/QUOTE]
^^ Showoff, gotta have both next gen consoles, huh? :hitman:
My knowledge of Halo off the top of my head.
It all began with the Forerunners, a race of highly advanced beings. However, the Forerunners had a problem, a bunch of ugly little puss-filled zombie thins called the Flood. Like zombies, the Flood wanted to consume and assimilate all life. Therefor they did really nasty things like latching onto your head, inhabiting corpses and bringing them back to life, and abducting spaceships to travel between planets. (Somehow they figured out the warp drive.) The Forerunners couldn’t stand these evil zombies, so they built giant wedding rings in space that were like little planets on the inside. They then made these rings into superweapons capable of destroying all sentient life in the galaxy. (Including the Flood and the Forerunners.) They were also dumb enough to make a bunch of little hovering, force-field equipped basket-ball size thingies to patrol and operate the rings. They even gave them weird names such as 343 Guilty Spark. Eventually the Flood infestation got so bad (Should have used Terminix!) that the Forerunners activated all the rings and killed themselves and the Flood.
Fast-forward a long time, the Flood actually survived the blast and are still alive, but dormant. The rings are still there, lethal as ever. But now some little bastards named the Covenant are there. A group of organisms from across the galaxy, the Covenant is led by a bunch of old guys called Prophets, who are about as smart as your average celery. The Prophets want to activate the rings because they think the rings will bring them salvation. The Humans, however, don’t want the rings activated because they know what will happen, so now the Humans and Covenant duke it out on one of the rings. The Humans win and destroy the ring. (Halo 1)
****akke mushrooms, Batman! The Covenant have invaded Earth. Now our hero, Mr. Chief, has to fight the Covenant back while also fighting the flood and some seedy tentacled jerk named the Gravemind. Rather than go in alone (Like he normally does.) Chief hires the help of some Elites, semi-humanoid-look-a-like creatures that used to serve the covenant but now have realized the true purpose of the rings. They are led by a secretly homosexual Elite named the Arbiter. The ambiguously gay duo of Chief and Sir Arbiter now travel around fighting the Flood and the Covenant on another ring. Eventually meeting up with the Gravemind, unimpressed by their puny size, the Gravemind give 'em a few life lessons and tosses them back. The then proceed to destroy/disarm the second ring while also putting all remaining rings on high-alert. Ready to be activated from some thingy called the Ark. (Halo 2)
slowly, over time I got them (and the Wii). And the XBox was the only one I bought with my own mone… no, wait, that’s a lie. Someone else kind of paid for it too. I mean I didn’t have to buy the XBox with this money, but, well, I did.
They have Halo books witch are really good if your into sci fi, that go alot deeper into the story line, explains why Keys goes crazy, How badass the spartans really are(there were originally like 24 of them), etc…
I’m not too worried about meaning… yet. I just want to make sure I’m not confused when I start playing it.
