Read the book, Halo: The Fall of Reach. It's by Eric Nylund. Reach is (was) one of humanity's biggest military stronghold planets. It was the planet where the Spartans were trained. The books and the games differ in what happened to the Spartans other than Chief. In the games, we are led to believe Chief is the only surviving Spartan.(the rest of the Spartans being killed on Reach). In the book, multiple Spartans survive, but they go on a separate mission, whereas Chief goes on and engages in the events of Halo C.E. Regardless, in the trailer, you can clearly hear them say "we've got spartans (as in more than one) on the ground. Since Reach was glassed before Halo C.E., and all Spartans other than chief were supposedly killed at Reach just before Halo C.E., this game must take place in the days before The Pillar of Autumn escaped the destruction of Reach and found the first Halo.
