The flashing in the preview looks too indistinct to be effective as a signal to others around. And there ARE no others around. The lignting looks to be the reflection from the storm above the Artifact.
If you read the books, they do say that a group of SPARTAN's survived the glassing of Reach. I belive that most of them were killed on te way back to Earth (I'd have to re-read the book again to be sure of the specifics, but I remember one gets put into Cryo-sleep and taken away before they reach Earth). It is difficult to see how much relevance the books have with the game. They were written in cooperation and help from Bungie. But whether that is just for gun specs, or all the way up to a totally immersive storyline, it is hard to say. One thing that is clear 'though, very little of the third book has much relevance to Halo 2 (apart from the Chief, Cortana and Jackson getting back to Earth).
