I heard from a little birdy that part of Halo 3 was developed at the same time as Halo 2, and that it is currently in the beta stages of bugtesting and glitch-fixing. Texture loading times are being killed, and texture sizes and detail have been increased.

Yeah I got that of a website a few months ago, the part about Halo 3 being made at the same time as Halo 2.

Doesn't surprise me too much.  Just more hype if you ask me though.

[Deepblue]

lol! More hype... Riiiight...

The person I got the info from does Playtesting for Microsoft... Technically he's not supposed to talk about it at all.

So... you're trying to get your 'friend' in trouble, huh? Good going.

Halo 2 was notorious for a somewhat abrupt ending, wasn't it?

Extremely. Many thought that the series would end in the 2nd iteration.

@Raa. Have I said that persons name?

Mind, I still put Halo2's ending and story well, well above Half Life 2's.

[aldo_14]

Half Life 2 had a story?

[Corhellion]

AYE YA!

*Flying kicks Aldo*

...Half life...has a plot...play them together and you might figure it out...

"In the mean time..."

NINJA VANISH!

Half life 2 didn't have a plot.  It had a scenario, a series of pretty locations and an explosion.

Halo 2 had the same, but with confusing cutscenes and character switches in the middle too.   Sorry.

Except that they weren't confusing....

Yes, but many people felt that they betrayed the main character by playing his nemesis... (this does not include me, I loved playing as the Arbiter).

[Taristin]

I actually wish the entire story was from the Covenant POV sometimes...

Considering the Chief and Arbiter A: never fought and B: worked towards essentially the same goal, that sounds rather stupid, don't it?

[Taristin]

I was a little upset, to be honest, that none of the Arbiter levels involved slaughterring Terrans. But I guess that'd really piss off of the fan base.

and at least the cutscenes didn't take over the game
