^what I was saying is that if you look at the date's in Halo 1 - Halo 2... the "star date"(or equivalent") in the beginning of H2 is like the next day after Halo 1 despite the long journey between the 2 because the conjoined Covenant/human ship essentially slipped back in time a few hours each flight so chief wound up arriving at earth at about the same day(H2 starting up at the beginning of the next one)
