he dies in...the flood?...or does the Covenant kill him?

Anyways, my question is, how is it that he reappears in the first level of Halo 2 ?

Or is it suppose to be someone else who is just like him?

He has bornes syndrome, a brain disorder, becasue he once used a whole crate of plasma grenades. Thats how you get it, plasma exposure. He lived becasue the flood just "passed him up". The book First Strike helps, I'd suggest reading it.

Yes he dies in Halo 1. Yes he is in Halo 2 because "Everyone loved him in Halo 1."

If you ignore the book for a minute you would realise how many times he dies in the game. Hes on every level where theres a marine and you get the chance to kill him every time. then, he suddenly reappears in the next level.

Basically, hes like kenny from southpark or scratchy from itchy and scratchy. No matter how many times he dies he's in the next "episode". Why would a little thing call death prevent him from being in Halo 2 eh? Oh yea! This belongs in the library or the maw...

did you see him die? no you just assume he did, he lived because his nervous system was fried and the flood couldnt match with is jumbled up nervous system. thats how they get you, they take over your nervous system, and they couldnt because he had borens syndrome, caused by intense plasma exposure, which he sufferd from using an entire crate of plama grenades during the seige of paris IV, he refused the thirty week chemo therapy treatments so he could get back to the fighting, the flood couldnt take him over so they just passed over him but they did leave some of there DNA in him which he carries to this vary day. read the books, this information can be found in first strike by eric nylund on page 244 ,

thank you very much

He did not have bourne sydrome he had been exposed to radiation before the war and for some reason or another the flood could not take over his body no one is sure why not even in the books. Master cheif almost kills him when he shows up after they get off Halo because he thought he was dead so Dr halsey did a medical workup on him and gave it to the cheif and told him that if he turned it in that oni would probably do a whole bunch of experiments on him and probably kill him in the process and MC could not decide what to do But I think he decides to not turn in the full file thus saving his life but he has not been to earth yet so only time will tell

I think the more important question is, if the flood come back, how do the do it. Do they (humanity) need to find a halo drag it to the covvie home galaxy and detonate it, therefor needing to eliminate the flood first?
