Ok first off since bungie has already said that it is a prequel then its safe to go by the facts of what the game is going to foretell and how things unfold. Also im not going to try and speculate who the 5 figures are on the banner cause they could possibly be any spartan except Sam who died in 2525 on a mission above Chi Ceti 4 and Spartan Gray Team.
Now as for the game i believe that it will tell the story of the book First Strike with more detail on the defense of the planet Reach with the Spartans of Red Team. I think that the game will start out as playing as the Master Chief a bored the Pillar of Autumn enroute back to Reach just as it is getting attacked. The first lvl could even be playing as the Chief as he heads out to the orbital docking station to retrieve the nav data to earth from the ship Circumference. He has Linda and James with him. James dies after his thruster pack is blown in zerogee and Linda is severly injured. This is also were he meets up with Sgt Johnson for the first time. They get back to the Autumn and go to slipspace only to end up at Halo (intro to first game).
Then i believe that the game will continue as playing as Fred who is the leader of Red Team as they are dropping to Reach in a pelican with all the other spartans. From there the game will unfold defending the generators for the orbital MAC guns around Reach only to be overan and fall back to ONI's Castle Base. This is were the Chief comes back into play. He arrives back at reach with the captured covenant ship Acendant Justice. I think the game will shift back to him and his rescue of Admiral Whitcomb were he also finds Spartans 044-Anton, 093-Grace, 008-Li. From there they make their way to Oni's Castle base and meet up with Kelly, Fred, Will and Dr. Hasley. Then continues on to play out their escape and being picked back up by Cortana in Acendant Justice.
From here im not sure how long the game will continue because i dont know how much it will play into the defense of Reach because there wasnt much of one. But it could go on to play trough their attack on the covenant satation Unyielding Hierophant. During that time frame Li, Anton, and Grace are killed and Kelly it taken by Dr. Hasley to go to Onyx and Linda is revived.
Now as for the speculation to what the planet is at the end of Halo 3 i personally think that it is Onyx. Because there is still a story to tell about what is going to happen to Fred, Kelly Linda, Ash, Tom, Lucy, Olivia, Mark, Team Katana, CPO Mendez, and Dr. Hasley. And it would only be fitting for the Chief to come find them since the war with the covenant is over.
These are just my theories on everything but they are all based on facts from all the books and to me it just all makes sense. Also if you have not read the books i strongly suggest that you do. They tell a lot and once you read them and play back through the games a lot more stuff makes sense as to the Forerunners and what happened to them.
