Reasons for speculation:
1.) No data code streaming on her body-We have always seen Cortana with code flowing through her body.
2.) Dr.Hasley has been missing since the First Strike-For those of you who have read the books you would know two things, Dr.Hasley left with Kelly claiming she was doing something increadibly important and two, Cortana was modeled completely off of Hasley. I think shes back to help MC with whatever challenge he has to face. She says she knows him, his past, and his future because she trained the MC and the other spartans since they were kids. She knows his future from my friend Opogs theory on what Dr.Hasley was doing or has done.

I have more and I'll update when I get home.
Upadte #1:
Posted by: staphan
In the Announcement FAQ section of Halo 3, it says:
"Q
Which characters will be returning in Halo 3?
A
Well as you can see from the trailer, at a minimum, we'll see the Chief and Cortana in some shape or form. And I believe Banshee pilots..."
and:
"Q
What is the plot of Halo 3?
A
The details of the plot have yet to be revealed. Suffice to say, the Chief has returned to Earth. The Covenant has uncovered a massive and ancient artifact under the African soil and Cortana is still trapped in the clutches of the Gravemind."
so therefore I doubt that it's Dr. Halsey in the trailer.
It says Cortana in some shape or form. This leads me to believe that Bungie may not want to admit it is Dr.Hasley. Remember that Cortana is modeled off of Hasley so by saying Cortana is some OTHER shape or form just means Cortana in her other form, her parent form Dr.Hasley.
Update#2: An interesting Thought from a friend-
"Dude it all makes sense if you watch the trailer from 1:03 to 1:15 you can see flashes of light in the top right corner (your left) of Johns visor, it was said that in the books the spartans would communicate using their HUD's thus causing a flashing light in their visor, put that together with your theory that it's not cortona and that it's hasley who left with another spartan and bam there u go Dr. hasley brought kelly to help john those flashes are from john and kelly communicating."
Update #3: A convo between myself and an anonymous user:
"In relation to your update number two--
there is lightning flashing, there is no light flashing INSIDE john;s helmet, its LIGHTING FROM TEH VORTEX...
Please put this under that unpade number two, it makes no sense to be able to see whast going on INSIDE his helmet...
Think of it, MC is in a dark room stalking an Elite, then, as Linda flashes her light to MC to tell him she will take him out, BAM the elite sees the flicker behind him from that light inside MC's head and kills him
Cmon, this is the 26th century, i htink they have found out how to make Combat Visors Opaque by now..."
I will if we debate a little more. Now, true it would not show on the outside but perhaps this was given to us by Bungie no? Also it is probably not lightning for these reasons:
1.) He turns his head before the banshees noise can be heard indicating that he looked over because of the light flahing in his visor. These lights were used as comunication and they always appeared in the top right of the helmet.
2.) The way the light flahes on the visor is much different than the previous flah. There is a flash maybe a second or two before the alleged visor flash and it appears vertically, meaning something standing upright or in an upright position. When lightning strikes it travels the fastest way to the ground and in the most vertical way possible, therefore the next lightning in the same area would travel vertically. The light flah on the Mc's visor is a horizontal flash indicating that is it most likey NOT lightning. See? I will post up over conversation though so people may interpret. Really though its visible because Bungie doesn't not want to show what the HUD is going to look like...yet.
yea but you missed one other thing
the lightning flashes are blue.
i do believe the flash youre refering to is yellow
