Seriously, I think the Chief will have to stay behind while some big Covenant thing is destroyed. Through his sacrafice the human race is saved, obviously I don't think we'll play a game where we lose in the end. . . that wouldn't sit well with the majority of future Halo2 players. Of course, humanity will be on the brink of destruction and earth's surface is mostly burnt to a crisp, but the survivors will rebuild and such. Any colonies that the Covenant ignored destroying as they doubled up on earth will take the opportunity to secceed from the UNSC (ONI and Earth's empire in general will prove to be much more duplicitous and corrupt than most of us suspect. . . trust me on this one). The Covenant will be scattered, leaderless and with a crushed religion, and they will no longer threaten humanity. Overall everything's cool since John thoroughly applied boot to ass to the Covenant and killed himself in the process.
