Based on the announcement trailer for halo 3:
Earth after weeks of battle between the covenant and humans, but it didn't go down like that, the elites, grunts and hunters joined forces with humans and together they defeated the Prophets.
The reason i mentioned the alliance is because of the fallen human sign in the trailer has a silhouette of a grunt on it. now it was a man made sign, so maybe for the reason that other humans would know they are allies, or its simply just an easter egg.
Then during the trailer the camera pans out to reveal a covenant capital ship with heroic trumpets playing and not some sort of music which would make you think theres a bad guy around. This made me think all those capital ships could be elite ships. Also as they did not attack the MC is another reason why it might be an allied ship. It looked more like the Chief was leading them into battle.
Then we see the huge hatch which could be the ARK, it could be just another Forerunner installation as the ARK is supposed to activate the other rings and not destroy anything. however the trailer lead us to believe it was the end of the earth so maybe that is just a vision of Cortana's as she says she has seen the future.
If you look in the background when you see the crater with the hatch and you can see capital ships as far as the eye can see, maybe all those capital ships came to drop of soldiers to fight who ever was on that installation to stop the activation of it, if those capital ships wanted to activate that facility surly they would of went into slip stream to get the hell out of there. So all I'm saying is that there could potentially be a huge battle on the surface of that forerunner building. Also the Banshees that flew past the chief, turned round when the hatch started openning.
Also in refrence to cortana 'i have defied gods and demons' does she mean she has defied gravemind (the god) and defied other spartans (the demons) as when she was in high charities main frame she said she detected another AI maybe she got corrupt and calls the spartans demons?
