I think that this series will end at 2 for the most part. From an article in EGM that I read where they interviewed Bungie staff, it seems that not only will the chief be encountering the flood, maybe finishing destroying that threat, I also read in the article one of the employees saying that somewhere near the end of Halo 2 the chief was going to attack the covenant homeworld... there are only 2 ways I can see something like that ending.
1. The covenant leadership is destroyed, leaving the old racial hatreds of the assorted races of the covenant to resurface and cause them to forget humans ever existed, or maybe even sign a treaty of some sort with them, if not a surrender.
2. The master chief gets his butt kicked and covenant continue on in another attack on earth, finally destroying the planet and destroying the human race.
The first choice is what i think, if not something like that happening, something very simlilar, I would hate to think that Bungie would start pumping out Halo's like marios or something like that. That would diminish the overall quality of the games in my opinion. It just doesn't seem like a series that you could do that with. Continually discovering new races to fight? That just seems a bit too much like scooby doo pilin into the mystery machine for another lame trip where they just "happen" to run into an alien race that wants them dead. If that happened to the Halo series I would be severely disapointed. The thought of running into the flood again is somewhat good, but, fighting against the flood alone for 3-4 games? After the Master Chief finishes with the covenant in Halo 2, I doubt they will be much of a threat. I suppose maybe the elites might form up some kind of league. Im guessing when they referred to going to the covenant homeworld, they meant the homeworld of the Prophets, the spiritual and political leader of the covenant. Without them guiding things around it is doubtful that the covenant will be much of a threat in any new Halo's past Halo 2, because it will probably end with the MC blowing up their planet or somethin like that.
Whew, I think i typed a little more on this subject than I meant to when I started, and it probably actually belongs in Halo 2 predictions, but there is my opinion
