Well since everyone who has read the Halo Novels knows the story of Fall of Reach I'm guessing this game will basically end with the Pillar of Autumn abandoning Reach and heading for the first Halo. This does leave a lot of room for speculation because the game may not even necessarily be from the perspective of the Master Chief but even if it is not it seems that if Bungie follows the canon set out by the novels that no matter what happens in-game the ending has really already been set.
Of course then there is the third possibility that Bungie may do something like they did with Ghost of Onyx where you play as a different spartan and you don't really die but you are assumed dead because you lose contact with everyone else so it doesn't affect the Halo story line.
The last possibility I can think of is that it could actually be after Halo 3 and the section of the ship that went into the vortex at the end ended up floating around the planet reach which has been mostly glassed due to the Covenant. This way the adventures of the Master Chief could keep going and he could be picked up and sent back to Earth or some other story.
What is everyone else thoughts on this?
