I think I have just found a secret to the Halo 2 story line, Right here in the Halo 2 forums, Note the definition for "New Mombasa - (nu mōm-bās'e) 1. East African Megalopolis, historically part of the Indian Ocean coast of Kenya. Now all but destroyed" Well as of modern days it isn't called New Mombasa, it's just Mombasa, So perhaps in Halo 2 New Mombasa will be obliterated. The cheif failed. Also if you bought the "SE Green Xbox - Halo Bundle" go to Game Demos, watch the e3 presentations in order, notice on the first film he is jumping onto a Covenant Battle Cruiser (<--I had forgotten the name, I had to edit it lol) and in the background another goes under the one he lands on, Well then on the next film, they are landing on Earth, and at the end, the chief sees the Battle Cruiser in the background and cortona says, "There, all we need to do is..." So maybe the cheif blew-up the first one, then he called in the dropship to pick him up off of it before it fell, and now they are trying to get to the next one to blow it up. Sound good to you guys?

*Shrug* Whatever... I've given up on speculations, we should all just wait until it comes out. I don't even know if they're using those cutscenes either.

^ yeah what he says.

besides, I'd be pissed if someone actually figured the plot for Halo2 and I accidently read it whilst looking on here! Keep it in the speculation thread's what I say (I don't look at that thread cos it's just to darn large).

If they buildt a new mombasa because the old was destroyed it explains the high level of technology and echonomy wich is not the case today.

Also, the Halo 2 E3 single player trailer isn't actually a level, it's just supposed to show off the halo 2 single player, and about the spartan on the ship, thats a human ship, which can't be right because the spartans and the ODST, plus Sarge and the coporal, highjacked a covie flagship, thats how they were gettin to earth

No that IS Master Chief John. Why else would he have Cortana with him?

Because she can interface with covie/foreunner systems, as well as the UNSC net.

It is already destroyed or most of the crew is dead and he just so happens to be on it. Well it was something like that in First Strike when he gets on the Gettysberg.

Also it could just be a space station. The Covenant are very predatory and attack only what has presented itself as a threat first. Once they get doen with everything else, they move on to the other targets (ie space stations, destroyed ships, etc.)

Maybe the fact that its 2552 has something to do with it....

I doubt that Halo 2 takes place right after First Strike. Most of the Covenant fleet has been oblierated for now, they would need some time to regroup.

Uh-huh. 2552 has a lot to do with it. About the Covenant Fleet though. I doubt they are in trouble right now. Think of it this way.

They lost the battle at Sigma Octanus IV, that was about 2 maybe 3 dozen ships. They lost over a hundred I'd assume at Reach. They lost an armada at Halo. They also lost 500+ and the Unyielding Heirophant. Despite all of these losses the Prophet of High Truth called it " a minor set back. "

Meaning their Fleet is much larger and can sustain such a blow. Aka- the UNSC is in serious trouble no matter what.

I noticed in the "Announce Trailer" one guy said "Cortana, just what kind of reinforcements have you got?!" , then on the E3 Gameplay Video, you meet up with a wounded guy who then says "I asked for reinforcements... I didn't know they'd send a Spartan."

I just felt like posting that.

There is only one thing, The covenant flag ship that MC and cortana highjacked was destroyed with the uneven elaphant wasn't it?

I also think that whatever we speculate the game will be alot different.

Sgt. Banks' type of reinforcement is much different from the reinforcement that admiral in tha announcement trailer asked about. Banks was after ground support, the admiral was thought Cortana was talking about Fleet support......which if the Chief takes a ship he becomes fleet support.
