As was reported in a review with Bungie, Halo 2 will partly take place on the ruins of a destroyed halo. Why would Master Chief return to the Halo? Here is what I think:

The Covenant have made an outpost on the ringworld in order to try to understand the Forerunner's technology. They are planning on constructing their own Halo to use against humans and any other races the Covenant want to destroy. Master Chief gets word of this and is sent to go stop them.

Also, the flood still exist with 343 GS on the Ring. Master Chief may also be charged with sending the "antidote" to the ringworld to try to kill the flood and prevent them from hurting the rest of the Universe.

Once again, though, this is only speculation.

It doesn't go through the events of First Strike. Are you crazy?! Bungie even said that the book First Strike links Halo 1 to Halo 2. If you played through FS most of us would already know the story.

Hence not starting on the ruins of Halo.

Also there is a problem with this Flood antidote.

" You don't know how this ring works do you? Why the Forerunner built it. Halo doesn't kill the Flood, it kills their food. Humans, Covenant, whatever. We're all equally eatible. " -Cortana, opening cinematic to Two Betrayals.

Basically if the Chief sets off any of the rings, we're all dead.

"From the ruins of Halos to..." -- Plural. He's just describing the environments you'll be going to.

He isnt going to set the ring off, in First Strike, Dr. Halsey gives MC the key to the antidote for the Flood.

well the movie where master cheif jumps out of the ship:
that ship is called the gettysburgh
in first strike, they make a jump from undelying heireofant in the gettysburgh
they arrive at earth in the gettysburgh
wouldn't it be logical for the game to start

(btw, shever made an antidote, dr hailsey just said we kill 1 or save billions or we save one and kill billions, IF the flood break out to earth)
