First off, hello! Newcomer to the forum and a huge fan of Halo (Read all 3 books and beat the game on legendary). So Why not start with a nice topic; What are your thoughts on the Halo 2 Plot going to be? I actually just thought of this...
WARNING: My Message will contain a Spoiler if you have yet to read the Novels on Halo, especially First Strike - Please don't read if you don't wish to be surprised

Between hearing about a Secret Character and all the information behind Halo 2, I find it extremely likely that Kelly might be that secret character. Kelly, Spartan (Number hell if I know at the moment) did go off with Dr. Halsley at the end of the novels, and it could be possible that she is going to be the individual that takes on a Halo colony while Master Chief is protecting Earth, or even still, maybe she will go on with the original plan of kidnapping a high ranking Prophet!! It seems very possible for this to happen I think.

Additionally, it's obvious that at the very least we have Master Chief returned to Earth, but there's also to be known another THREE Spartans also on Earth probably doing the same thing! Why haven't the Covenant Glassed Earth? Earth probably has another Forerunner object on it like Reach did. Which would in turn lead to another Halo possibly. Maybe 343 has something to do with that. Anyway, so yea, there's my thoughts; that the Secret Character is Kelly, and that it's quite possible that while Master Chief is protecting Earth, that they're off squaring another Halo down.

Well done, I think thats a very good theory and in the E3 demoSergeant Banks says: "When I asked for reinforcements, I didn't think they'd send a spartan." So when he says A spartan he might mean one of 4 or something?!?

umm......actually it will be mc who is on another halo. the whole game is not based on earth. mc is supposed to go to the covenant homeworld also. i do not think kelly is the secret character, since there are 3 other spartans aswell.

Right - Well Whitcomb really helped with screwing them off; but even still they could have glassed from far away like they did with Reach. Who knows?

Actually that is a very good point (S-III project, CPOMZ?!). That would make sense too, cause S-III probably stands for Section-III, or Spartan-III (Remember, Master Chief and Kelly, etc, are all results of the Spartan-II project). Additionally it could be seen that CPOMZ is short for Chief Petty Officer Mendez (MZ because There are probably other CPO's with an M name). A new batch seems possible.

Yes!,, but they were a complete failure, apart from the MC who managed to destroy a battalion of covenant the flood and a whole planet ( well ring. )

The S-III and CPOMZ are all in "First Strike" When Dr. Halsley is infiltrating her own computers and Ackerson is trying to steal info. When she gets her medical info on Kelly. Cant tell you the page number, but its there in the first half on Reach.

Glassing is basically exactly what it sounds like. When you heat an object, such as sand specifically to an immense degree, it turns to glass. It's stated that the Covenant Glass planets, in order, they burn everything to such a high temperature that the entire planet becomes glossy like glass. At least that's what I took from it.

Actually, sorry to disagree, but it's not a failure because, A) There isn't just one Spartan left, there's a minimum of 5; John (Master Chief), Fred, Linda, Will, and Kelly. Additionally it's possible that another 3 exist elsewhere (as mentioned on HBO, can be seen in the Fall of Reach that before the mission, 3 were stated to be on other planets far away on their own missions).

The term glassing is just an adjective
they dont actually heat the planet up
it says that they bombard the planet with their covenant cruisers and it ends up burning to smithereens

Alrighty well there ya go; I thought as a resultant of all the burning though that the planet kind of turns glossy (think of a volcano, it's lava turns to glossy obsidian afterwards).
