So what... he's been traveling all these years and ends up at the legendary planet?
No, the beacon leads Cole to finding the LP and thusly the Chief. We have literally no idea where he is or what he's doing. One guess is as good as the other, with neither being right or wrong. The only thing we know for sure is that three UNSC ships are missing with no clue as to there whereabouts. Sprit, Everest and the Dawn.
We know the Spirit will not be in Halo 4. But what we do know is that the Impossible Life was given massive amounts of screen-time in the book, and was introduced yet left completely ambiguous by the same people who have been setting us up for Halo 4 for awhile, and would like to neatly tie everything together.
Having the Everest in Halo 4 would not contradict anything as we have no clue where they are. Assuming there really is only a three year gap between H3 and H4 (when was that ever stated?) it would explain a UNSC presence and allow for human allies to fight alongside you. It will act as a reminder of what is at stake, and create a bridge between civilization and wherever the Master Chief is. It will explain why we have a constant supply of UNSC weapons. And, most importantly, it will capture the feeling of desperation felt in Halo 1, where it was one ship vs the mysteries of an ancient, alien evil.
