ok , ive had some time away since the 6th because of work, anyway its given me a chance to think about the story and game ending, and while like many others here it shook me , and i think the shock comes from the fact that we all loved cortana and in this (even though its a game) denial, anger, sadness are all part of the grieving process, i felt all these when i saw the ending and now with the time i had away ive reached acceptance. i believe we are all going through this, each of us at our own pace .
the game was well made and the story well told. 343 has done well by us and i look forward to the future
and at this point if anyone here hasnt finished the game by now and are seing spoilers im sorry for that, but it has been a few weeks
