Errr... Ok, let's see... For one, Halo 2's plot ended in a cliffhanger... Do you really want to explain how they got there rather than where they go from there/how the war ends?.... Sequel>Prequel.... Secondly, First Strike, albeit a good book, doesn't make sense after Halo 2 is already out... In Halo 2 the covenant come to earth with a SMALL fleet in order to look for an artifact... in first strike you see the hugest covenant fleet on record with the coordinates to earth (thusly it'd be impossible for them to not know where earth is in H2... And yeah, a whole LOT of first strike was ship battles and plot advancing conversation... if you actually THINK about it, it wouldn't make for a good game.
