My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats
Alright people I haven't heard any new speculation yet on the outcome of Halo 2.
Here's a recap of what we know for sure:
* The Covenant have found Earth and are close to having an immense power (regarding the aquirement of just one more time crystal -FS, last chapter)... but there are other Inner Colonies still left after the 'partial' glassing of Reach and when Earth's coordinates are found by the Covie bastards.
* Guilty spark says "..our lost time..." when looking at "human history" (the Maw). We take it he's speaking for the Forerunners (who are extinct.... or not... but probably are)
* Cortana has immense knowledge of Halo and how it works, the Forerunner history, Covenant AI code (which looks suspicious), Covenant Weapons and Slipspace capability. All this affected her mood and processing powers, she dumped some of the info in a ships computer and how this will change Cortana in Halo 2 is still anyone's guess. She would normally have a lifespan of 7 years (although Halo 2 most likely takes place shortly after Halo 1 ended).
* So far no Covenant Homeworld has been even hinted at. Only a bulbous planetoid ("Sanctum of the Hierarchs" -FS, last chapter again). Infact only the opposite has been show. They have an evil habbit of glassing habitable planets.
* A "prevention method" or immunity is found for the Flood in Srgt. Johnson's condition and the Chief has the data on this.
* Nova 'planet killers' nukes and other human weaponry have been designed to specifically deal with Covenant defense technology.
* Other Spartans soldiers are still alive, the exact number is still in question.
* The Spartan's original mission was to capture a Covie ship, pilot it back to Covie space, capture Covie leaders (Prophets) and negotiate a cease fire.
* There was a time distortion with the events on Halo and the Fall of Reach. Whether how and if this has anything to do with the crystal found on Reach is still uncertain (it is assumed).
* Col. Ackerson has suspicious files in his computer including DNA files on all the Spartans. He also has some leverage of some sort over a higher-ranking officer. There is a very suspicious communicae one day before Reach falls; from and to whom is unknown.
* And last but not least the game is called "Halo 2" and (i'm pretty sure) a new Halo-Ring and the Flood are schedueled for a return. Other facts such as a low-gravity level, other Forerunner installations (whether this is just another ring or not is unknown) and Earth being 'attacked' by the Covenant will all be in the game.
My own personal speculation? Who knows? Maybe humans use the Flood first against the Covies then use the Halos to clean up the mess? Maybe we get another batch of Spartans and complete the original mission? Maybe we get the next time crystal and are able to hang on to it long enough this time around to use it/learn from it? Whatever happens it will be awesome and poo in your pants forming.
