What an awesome ending! I love how as the ship floats towards Onyx the sun rises and everything goes all blue, and that music is freaky. I only completed the game yesterday (co-op, my friend has a 360) and that last level was torture, even on easy! It took us over two hours to complete it, but then, I wasn't driving. :P

If that is indeed Onyx John and Cortana are headed to, aren't all the other spartans on it? I haven't read Ghosts of Onyx, so I wouldn't know. Otherwise, it could be the Covenant homeworld, but that would be extremely unlikely, right?

I'm real sad that after all the Master Chief's efforts to make the galaxy a better place, he's doomed to a lifetime (or at least, a very long time) of exile in a wrecked ship. I sure hope Bungie tells us how long it takes for the UNSC to find him, though it's not likely since they all think he's dead.
Spoilers above are about the legendary ending. I wouldn't read it if you want to find out the ending for yourself.

Lol, me and my friend were making jokes about that yesterday. Halo 3: Finish the Fight. Halo 4: Finish the Final Fight. Halo 5: Finish the absolute complete Final Fight and find out John's Last Name. Halo 6: Find out his middle name! Halo 7: We're making more money! Halo 8...

... you get the idea. :P

Yeah, what's left of the other Spartan-IIs (John's group) as well as what's left of the Spartan-IIIs (trained by Kurt, one of John's group) are inside Onyx.

I doubt they'd put Halo 3 on any other consoles. They might do a PC version in a few years, but not Wii or PS3.

Really? Because I can specifically remember seeing a video on IGN about Halo DS. :P They had gameplay footage, too. It never got released though, and I'm not sure if it was developed by Bungie or not.

Quote from Halopedia:
If the game is completed on the Legendary difficulty, the section of Forward Unto Dawn that Cortana and the Chief are aboard is seen drifting towards an artificial looking planet after an unknown amount of time since he put himself in cyro. Some assume this to be Onyx, but this is impossible, as the Milky Way can be seen in the background, meaning the planet is still beyond the rim.

Even so, there can be more than one Milky Way. There are multiple galaxies in the universe. Is that on the Halo 3 or Onyx @ Halopedia?

Isn't it possible it's yet another Remnant left behind by the Forrunners, but that music seriously suggests the Flood aren't all gone yet.... :wink:

All that happened to the Flood was that Gravemind II was destroyed, it'll take them at least another 1000 years to get the knowledge that a Gravemind III would need. Without one, I'd say they're pretty mindless right now. Literally.

I figured out how to make a machinima! With lowered weapons! :)

To lower your weapon, press: "LB + RB + LS + A + DOWN (D-PAD)" all at once for a few seconds, until the weapon disappears. You now appear to be holding your weapon in an "at ease" position to other people and cameras.

Next, move to the point on the map where you want to have the machinima take place, for instance, the Elephant on Sandtrap. While still playing, stand on the exact spot where you want this action to happen (it helps if you have another person watching you, because sometimes the legs in the HUD like to be off a few inches :roll:)

Now, to talk, move the right stick (RS) up and down while reading the character's lines. For normal talking, just slowly move the RS up and down, but for an emphasized syllable, move the RS up quickly and down a little less quickly when the syllable has been spoken.

Yeah, I was bored. Decided to make a small video today :P
