No joke check the link http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq23/CJFireFox/Picture19.p ng
Also if you go to IGN they have a video further evidence to prove this. Plus it fits the story since, James, John, (sorry forgot the last one :P) were on the space station to prevent the covenant from getting info on earth. In the fighting james was sent hurtling outwards into space as you can see from the pic. also John destroys the station so the covenant can't get their hands on any vital info, now if you check out the trailer you will see explosions coming from the station. If you haven't seen it yet and need directions look through the grey smoke and you should see a human figure (not detailed I should point out but still).
(speculation starts)
Now in the IGN video they feel this is an homage to the dedicated halo fans. I think it's important to the story we will be playing. If you look for yourself you will also see 3 other objects as well. 2 ships possibly one covenant one UNSC (UNSC might be the pillar of autumn but doubtful) while the 3rd more interestingly is actually moving rather than the the other 2 which only move because of the camera direction. The 3rd ships is moving in a different direction, going along the same path as James. Now Spartan IV armor can keep you alive in space for up to 30 minutes (or there about) .So James could have survived his trip in space if the ship is heading towards James to save him or it could be the covenant capturing him but either way this looks to be a vital part of the story line. Since the 2 spartans mentioned are not part of the original 150 and could be the second wave of spartans, one of their missions could be either with James and/or saving him. Either way this is speculation so don't flame me.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Makes sense; that would be Gamma station. The smoke would be from the Pelican rigged with explosives that Blue Team used to blast open the exterior of the station.

However, I don't think that this will have anything to do with the story (for this game, at least). Red Team was stuck ground-side, how would they go up and rescue him?

Well my guess would be
Covenant captures James
Threaten him to show where the forerunner artifact is and taking him ground level to show where it is
Spartan group 2 find him and try to rescue him
Again just speculation, also wouldn't it be sweet to play alongside a Spartan from the novels.

He goes MIA (actually in a very similar manner to Kurt; Blue Team was even going to destroy the nav database of the same ONI ship which kidnapped Kurt to train the SPARTAN-IIIs! Maybe this will become important in a future novel, or Halo 4)

In the books it says he drifts out to space, they never confirm his death. John doesn't even see him float away. He only sees linda but can't find james, he assumes James got caught in the explosion and drifted towards space thats all we knew in the book and thats it.

they scan for him in space by ID tag and they say he is drifting about suffocating

I can see the little human figure in the debris, but if I'm not mistaken that looks like a Frigate not a Prowler or a docking station for that matter.

Dreams of being the one and only soup that people enjoy. Or wants to be a hero that dishes out hot scolding soup to evil.

Very nice find there! I think you might be on to something...

Yayap

His thruster pack explodes and he tumbles into space.

James doesn't die.

*Spoiler*

He gets rescued by Colonel Ackerson, who then puts him in charge of training the SPARTAN III's.

No, he get lost in space, when Spartan 117 request to Cpt. Keyes to make a scan to search for him, they can't find him, plus they didn't have the time to make a full search for him since the Covenant was steping on them.

I think its a good find but if you watch the video there are actually two bodies, I think. Right as "James" is drifting off and the other UNSC ship comes into view you can see the other body.

And it is a Covenant ship. Right under "James" and off to the right a tad in your pic.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

Can you link the IGN video, please?

EDIT: Oh, I see the humanoid.
