How do you think the game will begin? I think it will open with MC getting back to Earth in the battle. He docks with a smaller Earth support craft invaded with Covenant, cleans it up, and is left as the only human alive. The ship is damaged, and can't maneuever, so to get off of it, they show the pre-rendered scene (where MC jumps out of the airlock) and assaults the Covenant ship. He then uses it to help the Earth fleet to destroy a few other ships, and then docks with a human ship and takes a shuttle to Earth.

first he gets out of the longsword fighter and onto the Covie ship (anouncement trailer) then eventually you get down to a pelican that takes you to New Mombosa after Earth is safe you go across the galixy you go to a "forerunner instilation in the atmosphere of a gas gaint" then "you take the fight to the covinent"(not nesecerily their home world)

I think it will be an awesome intro. And i think they should do a good job with it, i mean it is going to set the tone for the whole movie.

I think the opening scene won't have the Master Chief at all. Rather it will be a scene of Earth getting pulverized by the Covenant. The scene shows the human military trying to defend Earth, and only towards the end of the cinematic does MC show up. Sort of the way Halo 1 opened up.

i think it will start....

Upon returning from deep space, after destroying the weapon known as Halo during a conflict with the Convenant, you, the Master Chief and your trusty AI guidance system Cortana, find yourself in front row seats to the end of Earth. Covenant Armada Battleships attack at the Earth mercilessly in hopes of destroying your very world. Seeing the imminent danger, you jump into action. Literally.

Level 01

Spotting the attack on Earth you drop from your ship in space, propelling yourself downward towards a gigantic Covenant Armada Battleship. You grasp onto the edges of the ship and find your way into a ventilation shaft and then a shadowy corridor.

Once inside the craft you make your way through the all-too-familiar corridors and meet up with Covenant Troops (Elites, Hunters, Grunts, Jackals, Brutes). You battle deep into the belly of the craft, via Cortana who advises that Marine prisoners are aboard. Once you find your way to the prison block the Marines tell you that several of their vehicles have been confiscated and are in a rear cargo hold. You and the Marines make your way there, taking out Covenant Troops on the way. You locate the vehicles, several Warthogs and Panthers, the new ATVs, in a cargo cell on the nearest side of a huge docking bay, which is holding their ship, the Purge. There you charge out of the cargo cell and battle several large bands of Covenant Troops throughout. The Marines have told you that there is important information on the ship, but you are unable to get to it in time. During the battle the Covenant see your plans to steal back the Purge and they release it out of the bay, pushing it down toward their target on Earth, New Mombasa, a major protectorate located in East Africa. When you're finished mopping up the Covenant Troops, Cortana tells you and any remaining Marines to head to a front docking bay where a Covenant Battalion is waiting to board a drop ship headed toward Earth.

Once you arrive there you see you are largely outnumbered and Cortana suggests sneaking aboard the ship, and making themselves known only after landing.

One problem. In the Announce Trailer, the ship MC is on is bigger than a Longsword Bomber. He would have had to get on a different ship. Unless something happened in First Strike where he got on a different ship, he would have to first get on another ship.

Besides that nitpick, I really like your idea.

The books are for backstory. Like Shadow of the Empire, it explains a lot of things in Return of the Jedi. Bungie would obviously not go straight from one game right into another, without any breaks in-between. They would have backstory, and the books flesh it out.

Okay for all those who think the game starts where halo ended, let me disabuse you of that idea. It has already been stated by bungie, and by eric nylund (author of first strike) that the book is a sort of in between games thing. It goes halo, first strike, halo 2. So for all those who have not read the book, I would suggest it. and its a pretty damn good book anyway, my favorite.

I think they will explain a little bit of what happened in the books, then having him trying out his new armor with manuvers (trainin session).

I remember thiss some idiot wrote it back in the old days. It wasn't this person. It is totally fake by the way.
