First of all I want to make some small corrections (don't hate me for this :) There are 4 Spartans in the picture. 2 of the 4 are green for sure (the front ones). The third one you brought up is obscured by dust and is probably green, but I can't be 100% on that one. Also, in the warthog in the very right bottom corner there is a red Spartan in the driverseat. You can just see his helmet, but he's there. Remember that Bungie has announced that there will be four playable teams, red, blue, green and gold, in at least team slayer for Halo2. Furthermore, I wouldn't think the picture is of co-op because the Spartans are under fire from both (looks like 3+) plasma pistols (or something that shoots rapid green plasma bolts) as well as a machine gun (you can see the bullets impacting the wall behind and above the dying Spartan with the shotgun). The only singleplayer shots Bungie is willing to show are ones with human vs. covenant. They're keeping the 3rd faction in Halo 2 a secret for the time being. I say this because of the machine gun fire in particular -you will never see a Covenant ever use a human weapon in singleplayer. It's like a Muslim eating pork-skins or a Hindu (I think it's Hindu) with cow skin furniture, just ain't happenin' my friend. Now with those little things out of the way I can address the point of the thread.
I'd bet a dollar to a dime that we'll have to check out reach in the game (there's some pretty significant forerunner and ONI secrets hidden there). As far as the picture itself, I don't know where those tunnels might be, but Reach sounds as good as any.
