The introduction of new characters for halo 3 doesnt seem like a too far fetched idea. Halo 2 had Lord Hood (who the hell is this guy anyways?), captain keyes daughter, the arbiter, brutes, the flying baddies, and any other characters i left out. I honestly think that halo 3 will have new characters for us to meet nomatter if there was no reference to them in any of the previous games. on a side note, i was playin halo 2 and noticed a band-aid on the back of Lord Hood's neck. (a la marcellus wallace from Pulp Fiction) Has anybody else noticed this? What does it mean? I dont think bungie would put that into the game just for no reason? You can clearly see it when you play the first level of Halo 2 where the MC and johnson are presented those medals. can anybody shed some light on this? Also how did Johnson survive/ get off of halo before it blew up?

He was in a pelican transport, and got picked up by the Mc in his hijacked fighter at the end of Halo. Read the first two chapters of first strike, and youll get it quite quickly.

There will be at least one new covenant species. I am sure of it, as the Sharqoi, have not been seen yet, so they must be in the Third...

As for lord hoods neck.... im not exactly sure, but it probably means he had a rather close encounter with the flood....

edit: damnit... Im such a slow typer...
As for johnson.... I am tired of explaining this lol.
Before MC got off.. Johnson, a pilot from FoeHammers squadron, an ONI guy, and an ODST named Corperal Locklear made it off halo in a pelican... after MC made it off halo, and it blew up... they were attacked by a bunch of covie ships. the pelican then distracted the covie ships long enough for MC to get to the far side of thresholds moon. The pelican came over also, and they linked up... then mc had the wild idea to attack the commanding flagship of the covie fleet in the area... they used the pelican as.... cannon fodder, and got in with the longsword.... then they took over the ship. then, they picked up the surviving spartans off of Reach, along with Admiral Stanforth. They also picked up some forerunner crystal, that changed time and space properties... they went into slipspace, had a big fight with the covies that came after them, and the ship was... falling apart, so the spartans worked to fix it, when the room all the spartans were in was hit with a big plasma torpedo thingy... only Fred, Will, Grace, and MC survived the plasma blast.. meanwhile, linda was getting better....
They then attacked the Unyeilding Heirophant, and grace was literally blown into peices by the brutes... while MC got his ass kicked fighting a brute in hand to hand.... but managed to slide a nade down its belt.. and then blew up the station, along with most of the covie fleet, with the help of the Admiral, and the ONI guy, acting as a lure to get the covies closer, with the crystal... so, theres a total of 5 known spartans alive(dont forget kelly!)... 1 unknown (James)...
They make it back to earth.... no idea what happened to the 4 that made it back with MC when halo 2 started....
