From what we know, you and your squad were tasked to drop in with a bunch of other ODSTs onto the Covenant Carrier that belongs to the Prophet of Regret. Somewhat, be it Dare or someone else higher up, had other plans for you and was going to divert your squad, led by Buck, Dare's previous romantic interest, to carry out another mission, presumably something to do with the ONI Alpha Site on New Mombasa.
During this drop, and during the sudden change of course, The Covenant cruiser jumps to slipspace, the event we see in Halo 2. This disrupts your entire mission.
You wake up 6 hours later as the Rookie. Its night time, the City's effed and your Squad's missing. As the Rookie, you must find clues to your squadmates' whereabouts, figure out what happened in the city, to them, find out what's happening in the city, find your squad and eventually leave the city. There's more going on in New Mombasa than we think we know.
Hope this sums up what we know of the story so far well enough. Needless to say, Halo 3: ODST is going to be pretty Narrative heavy, just like the previous Halo games. Goes without question, being written by Joseph Staten, the man behind Halo 2, which is undoubtedly the best Halo game narrative wise.
