It's got to be a forerunner planet. Think about it for a second. Unless SOMEHOW the rear half of the ship got through that portal then it's probable that the planet seen is a forerunner planet. Perhaps it was built as a sort of safe haven if all the rings were set off since it seems to be outside of our galaxy (just like the ark is). However, think about this. If they didn't get sent through the portal, and weren't sent somewhere out of the way then why wasn't said planet discovered before they set off to the Ark? How long did the Chief and Cortana drift and at what speed? Is it possible that even though they missed their chance to get home via portal, that it still could have sent them somewhere? A lot to think about, huh?
My personal opinion? Either a subtle hint at their former glory, Marathon. Or yet another cliffhanger to make space for another sequel, come the right time. I think we will see a Halo 4 after Halo Reach. Don't ask why because I don't know, it just seems like it's bound to happen. Why else travel in time unless it is to set the stage for the future? ODST= To introduce us to a new main playable character and build upon the already existing story= ODST main character shows great promise in battle and is chosen to aid in a search for the Chief and Cortana?
