Ok, I'll get started right away.

First we see pure white, fading to color. Perhaps a bomb after it has been detonated or just a good old fading technique?
Next we see what appears to be the desert, a few trees(4 to be exact) in the background and a some brush, rocks, dust, blah blah blah. But if you look closely you see the famous bridge from the 4th level from Halo 2. Only now it is in disarray. We also see some parts of a building, remains of a building.
Sign on a rock blowing back and forth.
What's this? What is the whire object in the middle of the screen? Cortana.
We also see another building here.
Cortana says "I have defied the Gods and Demons." from what I can get from it.
Some smoke now, and the second building we saw is a tunnel type structure.
We start to see a moving object in the background behind where Cortana is appearing.
More Cortana. She says "I am you shield, your sword."
Who/What is the moving object in the background, which is now the foreground? Yep, The Cheif. Holding... What's that? An Assault Rifle?! Finally.
Cortana again, "I know you, your past, your future." Future? Perhaps Cortana finds information on the second ring after The Cheif left? My guess is so.
3 Banshees fast approaching from the background.
Then a look at a Covenant Battle Cruiser, perhaps the one from the second ring that took a shot with its main cannon? And lots more in the background. To bad for the Cheif he can only take on one at a time. More Banshees and a Phantom all going to what? The whirling clound that had the same appearance as the one from the fire Arbiter level from Halo 2?
Something huge in the background again. Looks like "The City"(might be The Holy City, I don't know) the one that you can look at from the Multiplayer level Gemini. And something huge in the middle of it moves, it is a circle. Dust clouds from where the whole thing is moving, quite large. Some of the rock on the ledge the Chief was almost standing on falls.
At this point we see rock in a formation that appears to be a crude road and lights in "The City" and the large metal objects that were moving are now at about a 30 degree angle and steadily rising. The circle that was in the middle is now below "The City". The 2 Cruisers closest to the ground are now moving out of the way. I found that the Chief's helmet visor is reflective and you can see the whole circle now flooded with light. But the view switches so you can see this without reflectived lights.
A pillar of light is now rising from the circle within "The City". Perhaps a forerunner structure that the Covenant invaded Earth for(although the real story was that the Prophet "stumbled" upon Earth with a minor fighting force)? The light is now fully active and fills the whole screen. And sudden black.
Finally, Cortana again "This is the way the world ends." How many times have we heard that? The first ring was supposed to kill all seintent life in the universe. And the Halo 3 sign, really a Halo 2 sign with a 3 instead of a 2. And a good 'ole Bungie sign. "Finish The Fight 2007."

My views:
Assault Rifle, took them long enough. I'm sick of the BR.
Sick ass graphics, this is why I bought the 360. For the graphics, not Halo 3.
Banshees look kind of gimp. Just from what I saw and heard in the few seconds they were there.
And something I havn't said in a while... or at all.

Thank you Bungie for what appears to be a good game.

But we all said that about Halo 2, also. And when are the leaked vids gonna come out? I had the video of when the controller was unmoved for a certian ammount of time, the "preview" video, of Halo 2, in French, about 4 months before Halo 2 came out. I did not get it, my friend sent it to me.

Things to look for:
What about the whole Human and Elite Alliance?
What will happen with the Prophets and Brutes?
What's the whole deal with the Cortana transmisions?
Will we get more inside info about the Covenant "life"?

Thanks for reading,
-Nilator

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

Bad ears...

" I have defied gods and demons"

" I am your sheild , your sword" .Wapon note cortana is the name of a sword from the song of roland that in mythology was amde by the swordman that made the sword durandal. Durandal is an Ai from marathon that says if he escapes the universe he will become god and he accomplishes his goal and now halo is based off the bible. Basically this is telling you either something merged with her that is thousands of years old or ONI and hasely lied to cortana and they really just wiped ehr memory and she has slowly been getting it back . I personally believe the latter.

I felt I needed to change my signature, too. Actually got the energy to change it from being ass, to only half assed.

Also, folks, slow down the trailer, you hear the gravemind when cortana says "I have defied gods and demons." I assume the demon is the Chief and the Gods are the Forerunners. If I assume right.

When I go back to listen to it, he, or she, is right. You do hear as if Gravemind is talking at the end of "and demons"

Well, I hear it as him saying the whole sentence with her.I could be wrong.

EDIT: Actually everytime Cortana says something, the Gravemind says everything with her except the past and the future part.

Just a small detail, the last phrase "This is how the world ends" is not said by Cortana, but by Miranda Keyes.

The "About Halo 3" Link says "Halo 3 will start where Halo 2 left off" So my guess is Halo 3 will yet again, start in a spaceship, The Arc.

Added that stuff. Please respond, thanks.

those structures are not the bridge or the rings, they are the cowlings that went around the giant space elevator which presumably fell down after having its bottom most parts disintigrated. Its logical, seeing how anything that high would fall quite aways away from where it originated, considering that isnt exactly the mombasa location, since there are trees which, if in the new mombasa vicinity, would have disintigrated with the rest of mombasa.

its been theorized whether cortana is evil or not now. It can be presumed she is at least corrupt by gravemind, gathering from her garbled transmissions, which lighten up towards the end and she has a much happier face, as if she is struggling to regain control of herself.

As for the rest, idk, the game isnt out yet, or anywhere close.

Wowza! are you sure? That should be a thread of its own, since it would prove that Keyes/ Johnson/ Arbieter may have survived Halo 2.
