With Cortana in the hands(or tentacles if you will) of Gravemind, she's pretty much out of the loop (for a while at least). Meaning that the chief now has no one to bark him around.
So I was wondering, will the chief get a new A.I. assigned to him? The chief can do without one, but with Earth under attack, I assume he would like to have someone to handle the battle & tactic analysis, communications and other tasks Cortana used to take care of.

However, in Halo 2, the chief seems to get more orders from others, such as admiral Hood and Keyes, etc. And I expect Halo 3 to continue this trend. The chief getting his orders true a COM channel from various commanders and such, rather than a new A.I.

I do hope he gets a new one, the Halo universe is filled with them, yet in the games the only one we ever get to see is Cortana. I would even take pleasure in seeing a Dumb A.I in the game, and you won't even to take orders from them. Perhaps just a few in certain cutscenes and such.

It isn't just about gameplay, but it would make the game just a bit more "rich".

Would certainly make sense. But watching the trailer I can't help but feel Cortana will have a much bigger role, even though she (it) is over a billion miles away from Earth.

Cortana will most likely fill a gigantic role, but I don't expect to see anything from her till a later part in the game.
I assume that the first part of Halo 3 would focus mainly on the defense of earth and the Arbiter trying to get there as well. I don't expect cortana to be in the spotlight again till halfway through the game (save for maybe one or two cut scenes).

If the MC was aboard a Forerunner ship with a whole bunch of Covenant, and somehow manages to end up on Earth without any kind of backup what so ever, I doubt he could have gotten to a human ship or would have enough time to get given an AI just for himself. Chances are they'd need it for their remaining fleet (If there is one left) to fend of any more airbourne attacks or to defend installations.

I think the first thing the chief would do once he gets of that ship is to report to somebody.
Although it's quite possible that the chief is send into batle right away, getting his orders through the radio instead.

Aren't all women? I can't see why Cortana should be any different.

BTW is it just me or does she indeed look like a crackwhore in the trailer?

I assume you'd look like one too if you didn't bath for a number of days. :)
