Just a thought that popped into my head...
In halo 2, earth will be hard pressed by like all the covenant in the universe, so I don't really see humans beating the covenant in battle. So then, what if MC, or cortana, suceeded in convincing e.g. the elites to turn on the prophets. Since the elites are the miitary leaders of the covenant, they would probably take the grunts and jackals with them in the rebellion. It also said that hunters only speak to elites, so they could probably join as well.
The brutes answer to the prohets directly, and engineers only speak to prophets, so the prophets would probably get those two species on their side. Now, if these two groups would fight eachother, the picture would be like this: elites have the bulk of the military forces, but the prophets have all the important temples and other holy places and the technology. The elites would perhaps be hesistant to destroy the holy places, and the brutes are probably good enough fighters to effectively defend the temples in such a way thet the only way to defeat them would be to galss the temples. During this covenant civil war, Mc could either join with one of the sides, or go trvelling space in order to find ways to combat the covenant when they organize against humanity again. During his travels, he could perhaps find the new halo ring etc.
Now if I have missed some vital point here, know that i have not read the books, so everything i know about this i have read in spoiler threads and such. Don't flame me about this
