The covenant species will be making a return, that much is nearly certain from the art trailer, as is the inclusion of other humans.
Sentient machines are a near definate for this, the flood highly likely. Forerunners is a possibility, as is the possibility of new races.
Source? 343i never confirmed that Covenant are coming back. Also there is plenty reasons that Covenant aren't going to be in Halo 4... because Covenant is completely dissipated after Halo 3!
Same thing for UNSC, will be busy with re building their nation after the war.
Forerunners and Precursors definitely will be in Halo 4.
My sauce is speculation based around the concept art thats been released thus far:

Those look like pelicans to me, meaning unsc involvement.

Have to be of one of the covenant species, same colours, similar design to other ships.

Looks like multiple humans as it zooms out at the bottom of the screne.
Chances are, most involved there will be there by accident, being drawn into the votex of the planetoid, we'll likely be seeing loyalists involved, things aren't so simple as snaping your fingers for change.
