The trailer is cortana/gravemind showing the Chief what will happen if he fails in his mission, its a vision. I think this for a few reasons. One, at the end of Halo 2, the covenant hasnt taken over Earth yet. Two, the story this time is obviously going to pick up where Halo 2 left of, not like between Halo CE and Halo 2 where there was the book First Strike to tie things in. Three, the Covenant hate the Chief, do you really think all those Banshees would just fly straight past him without taking a few shots??? 4, as everyone has mentioned, Gravemind has foresight, and when connected to Cortana, uses her to contact the Cheif and show him this 'vision' of what will happen if he doesnt prevent this.
Just my thoughts, would be interested to hear what yas think.
