I recently read a short story by Isaac Asimov titled, "Does a Bee
Care?" While doing research on the story, I came across a comic
book version of the story here.
(The comic sucks, so read the story)

Check out the date on the first page. 2525. In Halo, 2525 is the
start of the War with the Covenant. It's a possible coincidence,
but I thought that was funny.
The short story has parallels with some Bungie themes, but you
should really read the actual short story to understand it's
meaning.

Halo 2 is not the start of the Covenant war. It started long before that.
