Alright, I've been gone for awhile (went to see An Inconveniant Truth -- an excellent movie)), so let me clear a few things up:
1) I'm talking about the trailer where the Chief dives down from the spaceship, not the E3 one where he fights in the city.
2) Cortana's presence there is no problem -- how hard could it be to splice her voice in after the fact? It's not like she actually appears in the trailer. It wouldn't be too hard to reconfigure it so that she isn't there at all. On the other hand, it's possible that in the original story, Cortana wasn't absorbed by Gravemind until later on, after the space battle.
3) Yes, in the Halo 3 trailer, Earth is conquered. But that trailer takes place halfway through the game. If my theory is correct, then the H2 announce trailer takes place almost immediately after the end of Halo 2, when the Earth is still under attack by Truth's forces. Remember Lord Hood in the damaged Cairo Station bridge, talking to the Chief? "Finishing this fight", etc? That's roughly when this trailer takes place, in my opinion.
