I've been thinking about the trailer and my last theory for a while and I have a new theory.

In the trailer chief walks up to the cliff and just watches the ancient device do it's thing. The only two reasons he would do that is:
1) There is no chance in stopping it.
2) He knows what it really does or it was tampered with.

So here is the full theory:

In halo 2 Cortana said that the Covenent didn't expect humans to be on earth when they arrived and the prophet of regret was sorry for his premature attack. The key is that they didn't know humans were on earth. Then at the end of the game the halo was haulted and put all the other halos on standby. They can only be activated from the arc. So it is a race to the arc for both sides. Now in the teaser it showed the covenent ships rushing to that thing in the ground. Almost like they wanted to get there before it's too late. Chief just watches it all happen. So the thing in the ground is probably the arc. It probably protected earth the last time halo activated so all life in the universe wouldn't be destroyed. So what probably happened is cortana or someone reprogrammed the arc to only destroy the covenent then it sent out the message to all the ther halos or it was going to destroy the ones on earth. It makes sence because as soon as the arc activates all the covenent ships try to get out of there as fast as possible. It looks like some were trying to jump to.

Bad theory. There is no proof. You just said "Maybe Cortana did this...blah blah blah"...But you have no reason to believe Cortana did anything. Plus Cortana is lightyears away on High Charity. Theory destroyed.
