The rings in the trailer are reminants of the "space elevator" that has collapsed, it served as a trasport between the Battle Cluster and Earth's surface. It can be seen on the title screen of Halo 2 (where you select Campaign, split screen, etc) if you watch it you'll notice that the what you see is the city of New Mombasa with Regret's cruiser hovering over. If you look toward the center of the city you'll notice a large structure that extends skyward off screen, that is the space elevator.
A space elevator....right. Why the hell would they need a space to earth elevator when they have ships that can just swoop down from space and drop off cargo? While I cannot definitively say what the large structure is, I can, however, say that it's definitely not a space elevator. That just seems a tad impractical.
