I, personnally, thought that it was a bit cheap to make the ending such a cliffhanger. The MC is aboard the Perilous Adytum(just assuming its called that) on his way to Earth, with the prophet. The Arbiter, Johnson, and Miranda are stranded on Halo 005 with "the lightbulb, tinkerbell, etc." And are wondering where the ark is, though everyone now knows. We all know what the ark can do from the end of H2, which is activate every other ring with remote activation, but just because were special, everyone know by now that the Ark is on Earth, and if you didn't know that already, you shouldn't be able to call yourself a Halo Fan. Anyway, those are the only real good spoiler I thought that there was in Halo 2, besides the fact that you get to play as the Arbiter. And I don't really see why everyone hated him SOOOOOOOOOO much!!! I mean, sure, MC is way better and could easily woop his ass, but still, he is pretty fun to play as.
