I suppose it s possible that there is some grand Search from dgfjgh's blog

She is, after all, his only friend. ?As the game progresses, the story appears to be leading towards an eventual?rendezvous?with Cortana s creator, and the writers go out of their way to make it appear as if Cortana would be saved from destruction. ?Except, she isn t. ?In the game s climax, she sacrifices herself to save Master Chief, saying goodbye in a beautifully staged, but utterly heartbreaking scene.

Not just heartbreaking, but maddening. ?Maddening in that the writers led me to believe there was a chance at salvation for Cortana, only to yank that chance away at the last possible moment. ?Maddening in that I had to watch two beloved characters get put through a meat grinder for 10 hours with absolutely no payoff for either of them. ?One doesn t survive the experience, and the other just gets tossed back in the meat grinder.

I suppose it s possible that there is some grand Search for Spock style rebirth planned for Cortana in a future Halo game, but honestly, I don t think there is. ?For whatever reason, 343 wanted to end Halo 4, the first game of a trilogy, on a tragic note. ?It soured the entire experience for me, and has made me reluctant to play through the campaign again.And so I m left with the feeling that, in many ways, Halo 4 is both a beginning and an end.

It is the start of a brand new trilogy, being developed by a new studio. ?But it is also a goodbye to Bungie, the series creator and caretaker for over ten years. ?It is the beginning of a new era for mankind, and a new mission for Master Chief, but it could be at the expense of everything he once cherished. ?So how harshly do I judge it? ?How do I pare it to the other games in Halo s long history? ?Halo 4 is an all around wonderful game, with game play that is at once evolutionary and reverent to its past.

I recently saw a very good RS Gold mall, now brought to share with http://www.rsgoldfast.com/
