8 Video Game Stories That Waited Years To Be Resolved

8. Halo 2 - Finishing The Fight

Halo 2 is a weird one in regards to unresolved endings because ultimately, it wasn't the original plan.

There wasn’t supposed to be a cliffhanger at the end of the game but due to time constraints, it had to happen. Developers of the sequel have stated that its release came down to the wire and that extra few weeks of polish the previous game received just wasn’t there. They had lines recorded, assets ready but they couldn’t implement a final mission or proper send-off which matched the ending and tone of Halo 2.

Players were all ready to head to Earth, to finish the fight and kick some ass. But then, the game just ended.

Fans had to wait three years and leap into the next generation of consoles, from original Xbox to Xbox 360, before they could regroup with Master Chief and the Arbiter.

What’s worse is that wasn’t the last time Halo hit us with a cliffhanger, with Halo 5 leaving a pretty big plot point open between Cortana and her newfound AI.
