i was reading a interview between Gamespy and the dude that wrote the script for Halo2, he said that he tried to remain faithful to the books, but couldnt completly because of the whole more than one spartan aspect in the game, note at the end, they remained fauthful to the books by identifying Master Cheif as Spartan 113, but beyond that, they cant. unless they want a squad based game, which would be cool.

Master Chief is Spartan 117
And of course human technology is innovative, in FS Cortana found a Covenant AI on board the Covenant cruiser with code that looked like it had been copied some number of times. Only thing special about this is that it looked like her code. |

What the fuck happened to Fred, Linda and Will?
I mean, there is alot from First Strike that was unanswered. In first strike the ending leaves you wanting to play Halo 2 so badly for the upcoming battle for Earth that includes hundreds of capitol ships but in the actual game you fight against maybe a company of Covenant soliders. |

Didn't they stay faithful to First Strike by there NOT being a huge invasion of earth?
As well as I can remember, Master Chief destroyed nearly all of the ships at the Unyielding Hierophat at the end of First Strike. It would take them awhile to build up that kind of invasion force again. Also, it appeared in Halo 2 that Regret attacked earth prematurely and didn't have the full support of Truth and Mercy. This would also explain why there weren't many missions on earth. I agree though, there are a lot of things left undone by First Strike that Halo 2 never even addressed. But if you watch the DVD on the making of the game, it becomes obvious that Bungie wanted to make the story more detailed and the campaign longer in the game, but they didn't have time. That and the fact that very few people have actually read the books, so tying stuff from the books into the game would be very difficult. This is why Dr. Halsey and Kelly, as well as the other Spartans that survived Reach, all of which are main characters in the books, haven't even appeared in the games yet. Anyone who hasn't read the books would have no idea why there's a female doctor/scientist on a ship headed to an undisclosed location with a spartan who looks just like MC with all the armor on. Or why other spartans are even still around. I'm perfectly content with them addressing the issues left undone by First Strike in the next book and leaving the game to tell a story that everyone else can understand.

Remember, that crystal was creating crazy ass time distortions all over the place, totally destroying the concept of Cause followed by Effect. [Edit: Something I should make clear. This is all a hybrid of the game and book story. Bungie has said that the books are not "official" and are not parallel to the game story. They couldn't work it in.  ]

It was affecting the timeline and probability even before the arrival on Halo. Everything in the storyline that happened, happened because of the crystal affecting reality to draw the team to retrieve it. Physical proximity had nothing to do with its effects on space nor time.
