"Work is progressing on Earth City very nicely, but there’s still so much stuff to do -- it’s a little nerve racking when the guys you’re counting on to help you are stuck on their previous levels debugging features with the programmers."

OK, so I'm looking at the part "...stuck on their previous levels..."

the programmers are working on previous levels meaning there are at least 2 levels prior to Earth City? Am I reading this wrong?

What do you guys think they are doing for the first levels if Earth City isn't it.

Here's what I think

Moon Level: Protect defensive MAC cannons
OuterSpace Battle: Either on a UNSC ship or Covenant ship

Nice find! This is making me believe that the end of "First Strike" may have an impact on the beginning levels of Halo 2. Did I already say Nice find?

It could just mean that they are still working on the levels that they had been working on previously. In which case he wouldn't be implying that they are working on the levels prior to the level he is working on, but instead he would just be informing us that they are still working on the levels they had been.

If Earth CIty is the third board, and we're supposedly going to another Halo, Covenant planets, other forerunner structures, I believe this game could have over 15 levels.

Just let me remain under the illusion that there is proof that we will play levels based on first strike for a while. LOL. There's a chance, it could go either way

I always doubted that the first mission would be on earth because of the teaser trailer showing him dropping towards the Covie Ship.... suppose it does back it up even more though yeah wd.

The first srike stuff will probably be in brief in the manual. The game will probbaly kick start from where the book left off.

I think that the first levels might deal with the events right after halo that took place in the first part of Halo: First Strike. The levels could deal with finding survivors of halo, like Sarge, he's in the E3 trailer so they should show how he survived. Bungie said that you would visit the ruins of halo, they didn't say that it would be later in the game.

what about what happens at the end of first strike? i hope that is in there, where you board the massive covie ship, the unyeilding heirophlant or something like that, and destroy it.
yea i think it would be pretty cool to to be one of the spartans on reach having to protect dr. halsey and whitcomb in the tunnels or caves.

I remember hearing that halo 2 will pick up after the end of First Strike, if so then you wouldn't start playing right after halo's destruction. Also, do you really think bungie would make levels that you would have already read about. I think all the levels will be brand new locations.

Look at the quote in my signature, Pete Parsons said something very interesting in an interview at E3 2004.

actually, the first level is whenever mc is in a covie cruiser then once hes done there it goes to the second level bye picking mc up in a pelican sending him to the second level earth city but ggivnish your levels may be correct but most likely in the middle or end of the game but if you notic on the real gameplay video mc came down from the air in a pelican which gives you a hint on that he came from a covie cruiser that most like the covenant had captured a human pelican before halo 1 exploded and left and there still were some marines on that pelican thus giving the answer to sargeant johnson sstill alive and well ....catch my drift?

wait....theres more....you know the place where mc was when he free fell onto the covie cruiser?...the first ever halo 2 video? well that is where (im guessing) the tutorial will be most likely because that is a human cruiser.....and you were on a human cruiser on halo 1 for the tutorial so thats my theory abouth the turorial and the first 2 levels
