OK, it's Halo 3 so it's obviously an expansion.
We think it might be squad based because of the references by Captain DARE.
Looks like ODST drop pods to me, and there is the "prepare to drop" reference.
Mbaraki is Mombasa, so the cameras are showing views of New Mombasa.
The space elevator is intact.
There is a huge explosion with an EMP pulse.
I think we are viewing the moment in Halo 2 where Truth engages his slipspace drive in the middle of New Mombasa, destroying the city.
Could the expansion pack be the squad based game we've been hearing about, based on ODST troops, telling the story of Halo 3 from a different viewpoint, starting with the destruction of New Mombasa?
Very possible, this is one of the most likely scenarios... You can see the nose of a Covenent ship right next to the space elevator emerging from behind one of the buildings
