Sry if this isn't a great thread since it's my first time but I'll try my best. As we all know from what we've seen in the trailer the covenant will take over Earth, find a hidden froerunner structure under Earth , and that the world ends due to it.
I think however that the Cheif may actually be seeing a vision that Cortana is sending him. Since as we all know she's on High Charity, while going through data in their files she may have found a forerunner artifact able to tell someones nearby future. Either that or that's a question the Gravemind asked going" What does this thing do?" Some evidence to this is (1: why would cortana be talking like that? After all the Halo games I know she doesn't talk like that. I beleive that she may reading the information off a tablet of info or hologram made by the forerunners. She's saying it to the cheif while he sees the vision so he may be able to figure out what it means.
(2: Wouldn't the covenant be blasting him to death? I mean about 7 Banshees and 1 Phantom go right over him. they'll blast any other human in their way so why would they not try to kill someone as big of a heratic as the demon (Master Cheif for you stupid guys who don't watch the cutscenes)
(3: the Banshee's have no drivers. If you pause the trailer at 1:25 to your right you'll see a banshee with no pilot along with another one following it about 5-6 seconds later. This makes me believe that the master cheif is in a vision that only his future can be determined and only his besides key people to his future (E.G. Johnson, Miranda, the Arbiter). Because then it would be to hard for the forerunners to show them their soon to be destiny. I beleive the main point in Halo3 will be the Cheifs conquest to stop the covenant from opening this weapon and destroying the Earth.

(Sorry if I spammed, I couldn't find my first post after I posted it.)

Out of all the deranged theories on this forum, this is the most original, and realistic one I've seen yet. Good stuff man.

They may not have drivers because Bungie didnt want us to see Elites yet. Or becuase they didnt want to take the time to make them just for the 2 min video.

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

1) The most logical reason is that it has something to do with Gravemind taking control.

2) If the covenent were on the brink of the great journey, they wouldn't bother with one soldier.

3) There's a reason there's no drivers. In a cutscene, it's just extra stuff to add. Why have a 10 mile mountain range when 5 miles is all you need? (graphicly speaking). Why have a bacnshee pilot when it's not ment to be seen anyways?

Only problem I have is that its spelled Chief, not Cheif. Good idea though, its better than something like Halo CE pistol or its not the Chief in the teaser!

Your Right it does seem that Cortana is reading something...that would make good sense to me....like she dosent understand what she is reading

There are alot of people that are right on some things. There are no covenant elites cause they probably look different in the big 3. Anyways, Cortana is probably reading something, becasue of the way she talks yadda yadda yadda. Great theory. It makes one ponder...

Personally, I think they would bother with master cheif, he's only the arch-nemisis of the covenant.

And if you watched the video they said that it is not just a bunch of images, those are the real models they will be using in the game, so i wouldn't doubt that they have elite pilots (Not saying there are, just my own inference).
