My two bits worth :) ( a bit long I know, [i]sorry about that[/i] :p) Is there a hint whenever anybody asks what the main idea behind Halo 3 is? The answer is somewhat vague. Do you notice the subtle "conclude the story arc" rather than conclude the series? Will there be other story arcs in the future. I would place all but my last two cents on that bet. :))) Female voices in multiplayer would be cool. Dare I say even a little welcome to hear *LOL*. It certianly would add a bit of fun to the game. Though it might dent the beefiness of Halo for a few people I think it is a good idea :). Hmmm on another note the birthday of Halo is in November and Halo 2 was released in November. Is this a hint when Halo 3 might be released. I always had my bets on November next year and hoping this year, but that was nothing short of wishful thinking. Quote "It would be great to write something about what happens after HALO 3…." So does this mean the world doesn't end in Halo 3? Darn it... I was so wishful thinking *grin*. Oh well I guess we can't have everything in life eh? Otherwise I may say... What a cool update :) Overall it was well worth the admission fee :p [Edited on 11/11/2006]
