let me guess...the bad alien bosses are killed and the remaining aliens are led by the arbiter to agree to a truce with earth?
i only played halo 2 a few weeks ago, though, so i don't know much about the story
Mr. P @ Sep 17th 2007 10:07PM
Nope. Master Chief dies, and the world is saved. It's not really a rumor as many people have already seen it.

No,this is what happens.
At the end of the episode, John meets his co-workers at a restaurant. He arrives first and selects Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" from the tabletop jukebox. Various people enter and Master chief looks at each of them. Cortana enters and joins him, asking about his meeting with the UNSC. Arbiter. arrives next, complaining about the more mundane tasks of his job but quotes some of Master chief own advice: "Focus on the good times." After a moment, Master chief reluctantly agrees. Miranda is late and has difficulty parallel parking her Warthog outside. A man at the counter orders coffee, looks in Master chief direction a couple of times, then walks towards him, going past to the restroom. Master chief, Cortana, and Arbiter. each pop an onion ring in their mouths and finally, Miranda parks and rushes across the street, approaching the door. MC hears the bell on the door ring and glances up. The screen then abruptly cuts to black and the music stops (on the word 'stop'). After several seconds, the credits roll in silence.

Seriously Joystiq this was known to the entire internet like 10 hours ago.
RDX @ Sep 17th 2007 10:09PM
Boy am I sick of "this is old news!!!1" comments. Does it make you feel cool that you knew about it before it was posted on Joystiq?
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 17th 2007 10:15PM
Actually yes,It makes you feel important, like a Giant geek or the dungeon master.
Well is better than saying "First".Also that I wanted to discuss this earlier now all the good stuff has been said.
Well sorry for the “olds”
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 17th 2007 10:21PM
I'm about to get banned right?
Sad face.
hvnlysoldr @ Sep 17th 2007 11:02PM
PK FREEZE!
Ross Miller @ Sep 18th 2007 12:03AM
You're not going to get banned, *straps to chair with duct tape*
Now ... tell us everything you know about IDF and I'll let you live. *taps on banhammer*
:D
Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Sep 18th 2007 1:18AM
I knew this before Joystiq, and I don't even have the internet or the googles or any YubeTubes.
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 18th 2007 11:26AM
Nevar! The intellevision defense force will live on haha!
phattie @ Sep 17th 2007 9:56PM
Most people are buying it for the MP anyways.
GoldenS1104 @ Sep 17th 2007 10:58PM
I didn't have an original Xbox, so I only played Halo on my PC. I never played the Halo 2 campaign. Now I own a 360 and I plan on getting Halo 3. I have absolutely no interest in the campaign mode whatsoever. I'll beat it to get it out of the way but multiplayer is definitely the strong point of the Halo series. I could care less about the crappy story. Honestly, I think the Halo series is waaaaay overrated, but it's still good enough to warrant a purchase.
Shmil @ Sep 17th 2007 11:11PM
and those people are retarded
Mike @ Sep 17th 2007 9:59PM
I think I'm going to go OFFLINE for a week. I can't trust any site not spoiling the game at this point. :(
Derek @ Sep 17th 2007 10:03PM
hey, I've got one for you. Google "most overhyped game in history" and see what comes up. All hail king of sarcasm corner!
brentshaffa @ Sep 17th 2007 10:01PM
I watched it.
Uh oh! It's a wacky SWITCHEROO! The Arbiter is in the Chief's body? The Chief in the Arbiter's?
What will those crazy kids do NEXT!?
gone with the wind @ Sep 17th 2007 10:08PM
must resist urge to look at ending ............. omfg you you wont belive how it ends they reveal master chifs true identity its its its its its BILL GATES under all that armor.
FM @ Sep 17th 2007 10:31PM
That would be a great ending!
ssuk @ Sep 18th 2007 10:51AM
They shouldn't have interupted him!
(How much of a Geek am I for remembering that Doom clip?)
playwhutyalike @ Sep 17th 2007 10:04PM
Wow, that just saved me 400 smackaroos.
Fish @ Sep 17th 2007 10:06PM
I'm not going to lie... that was a really bland ending.
Psaakyrn @ Sep 17th 2007 10:21PM
It's not the ending, it's the journey that forms the meat of the game. You do realise most endings are merely cutscenes/cinematics anyway?
(And people wonder why critics still can't see games as Art.)
Exo @ Sep 17th 2007 10:32PM
Why is this considerd a rumor?
cause its definitly true.
also to those that watched it, more happens after the credits, so the videos dont really show the whole ending
Einhanderkiller @ Sep 17th 2007 10:42PM
Here you go

Irwin @ Sep 18th 2007 2:12PM
oh my goodness
when i loaded the page, i instantly paused it. and then when i went to read a couple of comments, it was like a magnet, i just wanted to know what hapens, but after reading the second word in the first comment i promptly closed the browser
*PHEW* close call
thx Einhanderkiller btw.
LAZoftheTamarinds @ Sep 17th 2007 10:44PM
LOL! When I was searching for the ending I came across this and it was FUNNY.(Well actually really weird.)
go to
Halo3ending.ytmnd.com
Don't worry it's not the ending. It's just some stupid picture someone drew and put a song on it.
N-Zero @ Sep 17th 2007 10:59PM
That shit is hilarous LAZoftheTamarinds. I was going to post it too but saw that u beat me too it. For anyone who hasn't seen the video its fuckin hilarous. It isn't the halo 3 ending its a drawing of mastercheif doing something fuckin hilarous and with a fuckin funny song.
here its is. http://halo3ending.ytmnd.com/
it is fuckin hilarous.
Also more happens in the end of halo 3. I bought a copy of ebay. It is a fuckin kickass game. I beat it just wait for the end credits. It is a good fitting ending for Halo.
Long live Master Cheif and Mario (cause mario rules)
dustandechoes91 @ Sep 17th 2007 10:44PM
Theres really no spoilers at all in the video, unless you didnt know the humans win and the war ends(which was obvious from the start of the first game), and if you didnt know that then i just ruined the ending for you. The video just shows some stuff happening and then marines standing over the battlefield that the believe diorama is modeled after. They talk about how they will rebuild, except for those grounds, which will make a memorial. The good plot points probably take place in the game or in earlier cutscenes
Psaakyrn @ Sep 17th 2007 11:01PM
I haven't played any of the games. Way to go spoiling it for me. :p
Jhongerkong @ Sep 17th 2007 10:46PM
ill tell you what happens:
after saving the world, master chief takes off his helmet and it TURNS OUT TO BE MARIO.
LAZoftheTamarinds @ Sep 17th 2007 10:52PM
Watch instead of that when he removes his helmet he's CHUCK NORRIS. :o
Capt. Castellanos @ Sep 18th 2007 1:49AM
and then mario takes of his head
and its actually pac man, somehow or something.
Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Sep 18th 2007 2:59AM
Gollum eats the ring.
Ross @ Sep 17th 2007 10:48PM
That clip doesn't include the post-credits material. Also he didn't beat it on Heroic/Legendary which shows even more.
tominated @ Sep 18th 2007 4:41PM
actually, the elites are your allies now because of a civil war within the covenent.
James @ Sep 17th 2007 10:51PM
What does everyone have to ruin the fun. T_T
Zach Isso @ Sep 17th 2007 10:52PM
So..wait weren't the Marines and alien types fighting? Does this mean that Halo 4 will focus on diplomacy?
Casper32 @ Sep 17th 2007 10:56PM
Well goodbye interwebs, see you in 9 days
mccomber @ Sep 17th 2007 10:57PM
Snape kills Dumbledore. Or Master Chief.
I can't remember which it is.
Jeff @ Sep 17th 2007 11:03PM
Honestly, the Bioshock ending, by itself, would seem much, much worse than that.
There, I said it.
archie91s @ Sep 17th 2007 11:15PM
It's one of the most viewed videos on youtube right now. There is no way that I'm gonna watch it or read any of the comments, but I clicked on it and there is a link to halo3forums.com, so I'm guessing that it isn't fake.
balla360 @ Sep 17th 2007 11:20PM
I sure that after the credits on Legendary you find out that the ship Master Chief was on had a damaged slipspace drive. He's still alive - it just took him a year to get back to earth on sublight engines. Or something.
street-samurai @ Sep 17th 2007 11:22PM
Why is everyone freaking out over this? Bungie has hinted at this since halo 2, it's even hinted in the advertising (http://img462.imageshack.us/img462/2418/halo3adcopyaw9.png). "OMG!! Who'd ever think that a tragic hero dies at the end of the story!!!"
F1 @ Sep 17th 2007 11:25PM
You bastards! Don't spoil it. AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Thats it!
(grabs assault rifle0
You guys are so fucking dead!!!!
Rick Kump @ Sep 17th 2007 11:35PM
This just confirms that I won't buy Halo 3. It's such a stupid franchise. Any game with that much gay ass New Age music sucks beyond all comparison. Have fun, tards.
