for all you fools out there:
Of course its the Chief. If you've read the FAQ, then you would know that the bungie editor used Master Chief in reference to the character in the trailer more than once. Also, if you've read the books, then you'd know that every other Spartan was killed when the Covenant "glassed" Reach. Spartan 117 a.k.a The Master Chief was the only Spartan to get away from the carnage, he escaped it on the Pillar of Autumn, and if there were any other Spartans on-board it would have said so. In Halo 2 they switched the usage from the Assault Rifle to the Battle Rifle, Master Chief has since then returned to Earth. New technologies are bound to pop up within the time period he was AWOL from the planet. Therefore, the gun that is seen in his hands would be new technology, an upgrade from the Battle Rifle, and there are likely to be more technologically upgraded armour, guns, vehicles etc. in the game.
I stopped reading when you said "Also, if you've read the books, then you'd know that every other Spartan was killed when the Covenant 'glassed' Reach.", because that's when it was obvious you had no clue what you were talking about.
