Hey, I thought I'd try my hand at analyzing some of the pictures. Each notable object will be boxed by a different color, then explained in this post.

Crater
Light Blue: Here we see a nice view of the new Pistol. Could it be a modification of the current type?
Red: Right here is an odd symbol on an ODST's chest. Possible campaign emblems?

VISR
Red: Health Bar? Or just a compass?
Green: New aiming reticule? Could be a stabalizer?
Blue: More than just two of each grenade! You can hold 16 grenades at once!
Yellow: Vision Mode in action.
Orange: New SMG and Pistol being held.

Propelled
Red: Confirmation that we will still be able to wield Covenant weapons as an ODST.
Yellow: A ton here, first, Sniper Variation Helmet. Second, New SMG on the hip. Last, explosives on back?
Green: Rocket Launcher Confirmed.
Blue: New Grenades?

Coming in Hot
This has since been discovered to be a Firefight screen shot. Some observations are therefore null
Black: Can you now activate skulls during a mission?
Red: Tracking Rocket Launcher returns? The smoke trail seems to have a slight bend in it.
Green: Spartan Laser Confirmed.
Blue: z0mg! Flying Grunts!? (Yes, I know it's just being dropped from a Phantom)
Orange: Campaign Scoring!
Yellow: Machine Gun Turret confirmed.
Purple: Shotgun Confirmed.

Hunted
Red: New grenades seen again. Smoke grenades?
Green: Sniper Helmet variation.
Purple: The new pistol, from this angle it kind of looks like a Glock.
Blue: Jackal Sniper is back.

Prepared to Drop
Red: An ODST named Buck. New character?
Blue: Are all those Drop Pods crashing into the Covenant Ship!?

Drop Zone
Green: Brute Plasma Rifle Confirmed.
Red: Epic lawlz

Green and Mean
Blue: A nice view of the Brute Plasma Rifle
Green: New Equipment?!
Yellow: Four digit tags.
Red: Compass in action.

Smacked
Orange: ODSTs can carry turrets now!
Blue: Four digit tags can include special characters!?
Green: ODST emblems seen in the scoreboard.
Red: Possible Terminal?

ONI Building
Yellow: Our first ever view of an ONI building, too bad it's destroyed.
Blue: New mystery canisters. Health packs possibly?

Discharged
Green: Spartan Laser in action, looks slightly larger.
Blue: ODSTs can now take quiet a load of needles.
Black: New gun?! Or just two Spike Grenades?
Yellow: Grunt with shields?

Aftermath
Yellow: Brute and Grunt on patrol.
Blue: Destroyed space elevator.
Red: Mysteriously intact "e" building.

Controller
Blue: Why would they use the phrase "Primary weapon" unless there was a "Secondary weapon"? Could this mean we might be able to dual-wield and they just haven't said anything yet?
Yellow: It seems the VISR will spiritually take the equipments' role.

HUD
Blue: Two medals, one that is in Halo 3, one that we have never seen before. Any ideas on what it could be?

Lobby
Blue: It feels the need to say that it is at night, could this mean we will have day and night versions of all the maps?
Pink: The Legendary symbol is now replaced with a human head.
Red: Emblems are now confirmed.
Yellow: Special characters are now seen in tags.

I'll update this as I do more.

-The Cheesiest-

The skulls during a mission thing is of Firefight, the skulls activate one at a time to increase the difficulty...

I don't think that there'll be new grenades. The first image that you've provided that boxes the "new grenades" looks like a Fire Grenade to me.

Prepared to Drop is done.

The world is quiet here. -L.S.

See you starside.

Uh-oh, At one 1:28 in the trailer it says "hold b to pry open drop pod" that means someone didn't make it...
Also, it looks like your assumption on the healthbar appears to be correct, as when the ODST jumps out of the pod (and the building), he takes fall damage and that bar goes down.

I died once...I respawned 5 seconds later, seeking revenge!!!

in the prepare to drop picture, It looks like their in the front of a pelican

VISR looks cool. It would be an awsome mission to sneak through New Mombossa at night.

I'm a dude playing a dude desguised as another dude. I hate heritics, non-logical thoughts and people who are better than I am. People tell me that they like a lot of games, but I hate them all. Whenever I play a video game, I always go crawling back to Halo 3. Never go full retard!

These images were cool. Thanks for analysing them.

Yea, it seems so. Probably because in the Halo Canon, there were way more ODSTs than Spartans, so more characters in the tags were needed.

looks sweet nice finds.

You may want to look over these again. And compare them to other pictures.

In Crater the red box is Dutch's(?) painting on his chest armor.

There are more. too
