I’m playing through the campaigns in preparation for Halo 4 and I have some questions about the Halo 2 campaign.
In the Great Journey, why are the humans automatically allies when there is no discussion between the Elites/Hunters and the Humans until Johnson speaks?
How did Johnson escape Tartarus in the first place?
I don’t quite understand your question here When you learn the leaders you look up to turn out to be liars, that word kinda spreads fast.
Tarturus split them up in the dropships, right? I’m guessing they were about to be excecuted until Arbiter showed up. They only needed one human (Miranda).

It was more of a temporary, short-term heat of combat thing. Johnson jumped into the Scarab and locked himself in there. Tartarus was about to activate Halo and kill them all and the Elites decided that it would definitely be more productive and in everybody’s best interest to work with Johnson, who as I mentioned had the Scarab, to blow the doors off the Control Room to get to Tartarus and kill him. Deciding what to do with Johnson and the other humans would be done later, after the threat to all life in the galaxy was dealt with. Needless to say, I’m sure quite a few of the Elites or the Arbiter at least were thinking that with the Covenant destroyed, they would need some new allies and might find them in the humans. Both short term and long term, allying with Johnson and the humans could only be advantageous.
Yeah, Johnson and those two random Marines may have about to be executed (the Brute does say “Kill the others”, but I think he was referring to the Marines), but if anything happened to Miranda, Tartarus still needed a backup human (Johnson). I don’t know where the Marines (that disappeared after the cutscene anyway) came from, though.
