Halo 3.5 Conspiracy Theory... 'Halo 3 Expansion: The Arbiter'?

Gaming Today's Shawn reports a speculation that he could actually see happening:

Mark Methenitis puts forth an interesting theory in his latest "Law of the Game" entry. He gives an intriguing explanation of why Bungie dropped the Arbiter story line and players weren't able to play the Arbiter. This has been a complaint in several reviews. Methenitis believes or at least hopes that Bungie will release a Halo 3.5, Halo 3-2 or Halo 3 Directors cut:

"The storyline will basically be the Arbiter's cannon story during the activities of Halo 3, filling in all the gaps of absence in the Chief's escapade. And after all, why not? It would only be addition to the story, which would take a comparatively small development time."

becasue if you watch the thing after the credits, it almost sounds like there could be a sequel. I'm not going to say anything else but thats it. You know what i mean if you saw that part though i could be reading too much into it.

IMO the Arbitor is a more appealing story of heriosm than the Master Chiefs.

He searches for the truth. When he finds it leaves him empty because all of his beliefs are wrong. Everything he has based his life and honor on are false. Yet instead of ignoring the new life he is facing he chooses to act on it. He reforms a new faction and leads ahead to help those he used to dispise.

The Arbitor IMO is the better of the two hereos. Master Chief is simply a soldier doing what he is paid to do. Of course he is a brave and hard as nails soldier, but the Arbitor has a LOT more to him than being in a green suit and blowing stuff up.

I like the idea of the arbiter being the hero very much, thank you for that insightful post, really. I've neer thought of that at all, now everytime i see MC i can't look at him being the great hero he is anymore, but Bubbles for you it was great.

Komrad6051d ago

there is no reason for NOT making halo 4. with or without the ending thing...

AngryTypingGuy6050d ago

There will be more Halo's. After all, it's the flagship title, and the most popular video game franchise over the last two generations. I'm guessing that the story will be changed for the next one though.

Bnet3436051d ago

But I would be forced to buy this ... it's Halo! :(

babyhand6051d ago

Understand that just because it was the last Halo that, It has nothing to do with Master Chief have more adventures as the title to the game is about the "Halo Rings"! The game isn't called Master chief. I believe there will be other adventures with the character in them. I believe this is something most people and gaming sites don't think about because they see the game as being about him. Just his adventures. Like books with different titles but the same character.

SE7EN6050d ago

Yea, and is called Marathon...a hole new adventure for Master Chief...

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii105d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies105d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer142d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog142d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned142d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c142d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb142d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72142d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman142d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows141d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72153d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai153d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ153d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil153d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
