Not too sure if I'm right, but the graphical changes in his armor seem almost exactly like the graphics of the Halo Wars cut-scenes. Don't forget Microsoft is helping 343 with this game, they helped Ensemble with Halo War's graphics. But this is more of an updated version? Now near the end of the video you see the chief placing something onto the pistol, it could be a flare like some people have said, or a grenade launcher attachment, a silencer magnum in Halo was not a good idea in ODST.
But as you see him reloading, if you look at the shoulder piece on his right arm, you can see another armor section right under which was maybe the original Mk. VI shoulder piece, though that could be for the bicep, I don't know. Also as for the uh.. Cod piece as people call it, it looks like it might've broken off during cryo. The armor does look like it's had modifications, but some of the coloring is due to shadowing, etc. It's just a graphic overhaul and several adjustments.
Now this doesn't involve appearance or anything, and just another theory, but at the end of the E3 trailer, the Halo theme music is much darker, more ominous in sound, it could be a hint that the game will be more frightening or scary, maybe tell a gruesome story of some kind? I don't know.
Lastly, as another theory as to what the planet is, I wouldn't exactly know, though clearly it's some kind of massive Forerunner structure maybe it is a shield world like the one in Halo Wars and planet Onyx. Who knows what's inside, it could be a whole other world that was artificially created.
