Dude, what are you hoping for us to say? A specific date and time? We are all just as much in the dark as you are! All that has been released to the public are a few article references, and a few audio snippets from E3.... so just give it time I guess.
Your topic question can only be answered by how much realism will exist in Halo 3. Should Bungie go for 100% realism, then logically, no single character will be powerful enough to single handedly save earth. More likely it will be the actions of the collective human or covenant race that determines the fate of earth. Think about it; comparing creature to creature, a simple Elite is almost as deadly as the MC (read the Fall or Reach, it mentions a zero-G melee battle between the MC and an Elite. The MC barely won). Taking this into consideration, there is no logical way that one single being could save earth. No I think the MC will be either a generic apendage (spelling??) on the hand that is the human forces, or else he will be a spearhead, leading the forces into battle... Either way, he will see some very spectacular battles (as will the Arbiter hopefully), and will probably influence the fate of earth in a strong way, but will not single handedly save the day.
