bungie.net is very minxy

I have been playing through all the halo games in order with my little brother we are playing halo 2 and it confused me as to how ODST could happen.

1. why are there covenant when the prophet took them with him?

2.why is the city intact after the prophet jumped to the halo ring as you can clearly see everything from the buildings too the roads floating out of the hole regret came through?

3.How did the ODST survive? if it tore apart buildings why did it not destroy the drop pods?

Halo 3: ODST comes in order after Halo 2, and before Halo 3. The Covenant stay on Earth in order to dig up the portal to the Ark. The ODST drop after the city is torn to pieces, in order to find out what the Covenant are digging up under New Mombasa.

The Brutes are in charge because Truth was already planning to replace the Elites with them long before the changing of the guard.

He ordered the Brutes to kill the Elites on Earth.

at the beginning of ODST you drop during the jump.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

1. Regret left Earth in a hurry, taking what forces he could with him. Obviously there were Elites stranded on Earth which were left to fight against the Brutes which had turned on them because of Truth's plan.

2. That part really makes no sense. There is no way any of those building could have made it inside the portal, first because it closed and second because there were no buildings near the space tether where the jump took place. I guess the whole buildings passing through was just for the spectacle of it and to imagine the destruction left on the city, which was later retconned with ODST.

3. Same as I said before. Marines on the ground survived the pressure wave of the jump, so just think of it as that. Not a true explosion, but just a pressure wave like hurricane winds or something.
