According to Bungie and the announcement trailer, we know that Master Chief has seen some "horrific battle". Given that the surrounding area in the trailer looks as if a major explosion has just occurred, we can say that the Chief has just walked out of a "horrific" battle.

But a battle with who? (We can safely assume the Covenant or the Brutes.)

Earlier today I got bored and played through Halo 2's campaign (again) and the dialogue in the cut-scene cought my ear.

Here is the script for the last cut scene of High Charity:

CORTANA:
Chief, when you get to Earth... Good luck.

CHIEF:
After I'm through with Truth-

CORTANA:
Don't make a girl a promise if you know you can't keep it.

I'm thinking that the Chief had a hellacious battle on the Forerunner ship on the way to Earth, possibly killed Truth/Truth gets away, and at the end of it all the ship ends up crash landing on Earth.

Please post your thoughts on this.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

pobably tried to get to truth, but he had a hell of a time through all the honour guards, and truth escaped in the meantime.

One shot: one kill, zero seconds to live

its apossibility. were going to have to wait sadly. but isn't high charity the only ones who know how to activate the ark? so it would be pointless for the covenant to rush to it.

I'm thinking that Halo 3 will resume at that point and maybe the first thing you have to do in Halo 3 is maybe kill Truth. That's just what I think though, what do I know lol.

Let me clear this up:

Where is the Master Chief in the trailer: New Mombasa
Where was he on Earth in Halo 2: New Mombasa
What happened in New Mombasa in Halo 2: A huge explosion!!!

Get it now? All the damage there has been there since the beginning of Halo 2.

Master chief for life.

in halo 2 when you are Master Cheif Maranda Keys orderd you to get abourd the ship since you were going to go after the profit when the slip space jump was activated it tore New Mombasa to peces and took some of it with you. and that explains the ruins on earth.
and soon after words the covinet went to earth for the ark, which in the halo universe is where life on earth came from kinda like noah's ark.
and the ship chief was on was high charitys power supply for high charity and the profit is only useing it to get to the ark.

I expect that Master Chief will assassinate Truth and then the Covenant will be in entire dissaray, and then the Brutes will take charge. That's my theory.

If you watch the documentary video posted by Bungie, Marty says "Master Chief is comming out of a desert blowing heat, wind, completely obscured..."

The way he says it gives the impression (to me) that something else has happened besides what took place in the campaign mode. The time intervals between the explosion at New Mobossa and the point in time in the trailer now seem too far off (to me) for there to be any signs of a recent explosion.

My point being, Cortana cuts him off, and nothing else is mentioned up to this point about the Prophet of Truth.

If your reading this post and have only negative point of views from mine then don't bother replying.

don't quote me on this, but i vaguely remember frankie saying something about this (halo 3 announcement trailer) being what is GOING to happen to the chief. that this trailer is not right after halo 2 but that there is a time in between ,(insert your "horrific battle(s)" here) in my belief, if MC does kill the prophet of Truth in the first level, which seems like what you would expect from the cutsenes, then the covenant should be in pieces with all their High Prophets gone, and their capitol City appears to be in control of Gravemind or the flood. if you DON'T kill the prophet of truth, and they are the only ones that know how to activate the ARK then the large pulse at the end of the trailer would make sense as the ark being activated, assuming the structure is really the ark. but like the halo's, i doubt the prophets or other covenant would be able to activate the ark. the way all the other forerunner things seem to work is that a "reclaimer" has to do to most important tasks. the Arbiter could get the index in halo 2, but they needed mirranda to be the reclaimer and activate halo. so i'm thinking that there'll be another 343 GS look alike, and somewhere a human reclaimer will be involved.
