I think that the opening tagline is a layered reference to a couple things. Like that we know the end of the game, yes. That Reach falls, Chief enters the Pillar of Autumn while it takes a "random" jump away from Reach.
I also think it's a reference to the way that if the covenant enter the system, humans know that ninety-nine times out of one hundred, their planet will be glassed rather quickly.
