From what we can piece together, and what has been stated, earth has been conquered by the Covenant. The thing that I don't get is that why didn't they glass the planet, save for one spot, like reach in the First Strike novel? Mabye they just do not wish to shoot at their "Ark", assuming that they know what it is (pretty sure they know what it is though, as the location was given through the artifacts the Covenant were after, and why Regret attacked too early with too weak an army).

P.S. I hope we can see the other Spartans (which should be introduced in the movie), though it is unlikely.

The setting i presume will begin with the MC still in The Perilous Adytum (the ship he landed in at the end of the level High Charity) and the Arbiter is still on Delta Halo, and will escape with Johnson to High Charity pick up a ship and leave, with also getting Cortana.

How do we know earth wasn't glassed? It very well could have been. The one section you seen in the trailor could have been that one part that isn't getting glassed. So earth levels (IMO) will be few and far between. My bet is that that thing (assumed that Ark) is going to be mobile.

Maybe that's what Cortana's signal is from. Johnson & Arby on their way back to earth (what's left of it).

My guess is that the playable start of H3 will either be on the Foreruner ship with the Chief, or on Delta Halo with Arby's Babyback Ribs.
