Subject: ODST 2552? What? *LOOK TO SEE MORE*

After a while of it collecting dust on my shelf I decided to beat ODST on legendary finally. Now it's my impression that Halo 3 ODST takes place after Halo 2 and before Halo 3 but something confuses me. Halo Reach (which takes place right before CE) is also in the year 2552, July I think. But I don't understand, I thought Halo 2 took place a year after CE and even if I'm wrong I find it hard to believe that the entire Halo series (maybe besides Halo 3, again I'm not sure) takes place is 2552 and on top of that in the second half of the year! Could someone explain this to me because I'm lost @_@

The events of all the games (excluding Halo Wars) take place within the space of 6 months. (9 months if we take into consideration the Epilogue of Halo 3, which takes place in March 2553, but I believe that the fighting at the Ark finished long before that). These are the dates as best I follow them:

Reach is from July 24 to August 30th.

CE is from September 19th to September 22nd.

Halo 2 and ODST start on October 20th. ODST finishes the next day on the 21st, with Halo 2 then finishing on November 7th.

Halo 3 begins on November 17th. The last cutscene is on March 2553 but the fighting probably finished much sooner.

Halo Wars takes place all the way back in 2531. It is sort of floating out "there".

it takes place throughout the day after the Prophet of Regret (and In Amber Clad) jump out of new mombossa. In other words, technically takes place during Halo 2 while Master Chief is on Delta Halo

Well ok then, thanks everyone. Seems kinda odd that they'd make the whole series in less than a year but I believe you guys.

So there is a 10 day gap between Halo 2 and 3... I though 3 happened immediately after 2. What happened in those 10 days? I don't remember any book covering that... Maybe I've just forgotten something.

During those few days Truth's ship was orbiting Earth and Master Chief was stowed away on board.
