I don't believe in magic, but I DO believe in bones.
I go away from the forums for a week and look what happens, a new game sneaks up on me D=
Anyways, I'm really liking all of the theories flying around right now, all of them seem to be equally plausible.
There is one thing I'm particularly confused about, though. I know that the games don't exactly follow the books, and vice versa (aside from The Flood), but where exactly would this fit in Halo timeline?
From what I remember (haven't read The Fall of Reach in years), Reach got attacked and started to get glassed right before they shipped off MC to the first Halo game. During that time, some of the Spartan II's were sent back to reach to find Dr. Halsey (during Ghosts of Onyx, I believe). Now, all of those Spartans evacuated Reach, with MC in tow after the events of Halo: CE. I haven't read Cole Protocol, but I'm fairly sure the Spartans in that novel are nowhere near Reach while any of this is happening. So... where the hell did these Spartans come from?
Aside from all that gibberish, which I apologize for, the little picture accompanying the trailer shows a set of five silhouettes. One of them is smaller, and more slender than the others (second from the right), female, perchance? The figure isn't holding a weapon, that I can see at least, and it looks as if they may not even be wearing armor. So, that leaves four obviously armored and combat ready characters to (hopefully) continue the 4-player co-op campaigns.
And, with the varying sizes of the characters, this also leads me to believe the aforementioned theory of different classes in MP. TF2 Halo, anyone?
TL;DR: Just spewing my first initial thoughts on all of this, just found out about it just a few minutes ago, so I apologize =P
