I'm guessing its going to be a blend of Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST style campaign. Open world, but not neccesarily confined to one area nor is it detective flashback like.
Imagine that you and your spartans need to take out an anti air gun at the other end of a valley that you just dropped into. You aren't going to follow a narrow series of canyons, cliffs, walkways, and such like you would in Halo 3 to get to your objective. The map is much bigger, the enemies patrol around, and there are multiple optional paths and things to do that will change how the mission turns out.
If you take more than 20 minutes to complete your primary objective after your first encounter with an enemy, Covenant reinforcements arrive to buff up defense and will make the final battle much much harder.
As you rush towards your objective, you might hear a distress call from some marines trapped inside of a bunker. If you go and rescue them, you get a warthog and some marines which will aid you in your push to get to the turret, but it takes up valuable time that you might need.
You might see a covenant ammo depot. Its well defended, you might lose some marines, but if you take it over you have access to some wraiths and fuel rod cannons. If you don't, you might see those weapons turned against you in the final battle.
Stuff like that.
