-There is a new fun and terrifying multiplayer gametype.
-The marines are back.
-AI is improved.
-There are new weapons.
-There is a map similar in size, gameplay and playability to Lockout, but it is NOT Lockout, it's nick-named: JUB-JUB.
-An enemy that is "bigger than a grunt" is confirmed, although this does not mean there is a new enemy.
-The interface is designed to make it very simple to get to a "lobby" and make all necessary changes from there

I liked fighting on Earth, lots of buildings to hide behind.

Well, judging by the fact there is a Forerunner structure on Earth.... You know the rest. And I already said Covies (grunts included).

REVISION (from your post He will finish the fight)

- Halo 3 shall be the last in the story arc.

[ That is the official word, and to me it sounds a little open ended. I mean, perhaps the conflict will the flood will end, but not the conflict with the covies, thus creating another "story arc" (a story arc is really just a segment of a long long story... like star wars 4,5,6 is one segment then the lame 1,2,3 came out. each could be an arc. ]

Actually, most of what he/she said could be found in the Halo 3 FAQ, in the Halo 3 section of this site.
The only one that may not be true is:
-Much of Halo 3 will take place on Earth.

I didn't see the part where they say Cortana is or isn't in the clutches of Gravemind. Besides which, even if it did, my statement would still be valid.

A developer said it in the "making of the Halo 3 announcement trailer" video.

Most of these things are simple conclusions drawn upon more than one source or single evidence in the story. If they are wrong, it is because Bungie is throwing something we didn't expect at us; dumbing it down to simple facts would be pointless because most people already know them.

First post is edited. All of this has been confirmed by Bungie. This is just to clear up for n00bs. And just to gather all known FACTS together.

You still forgot the grunts =D

-There is a map similar in size, gameplay and playability to Lockout, but it is NOT Lockout.
-An enemy that is "bigger than a grunt" is confirmed, although this does not mean there is a new enemy.
-Plot has been avoided by using scripted Banshees with no pilots in the trailer, in order to leave the player in the dark as the the status of alliances.

So you're saying that even though a dev said in the doc that Cortana was in the clutches of Gravemind. You think that is minimal evidence... Pft.

'Much of Halo 3 will take place on Earth' Sounds like speculation to me. We thought the same thing about Halo 2, we got like, two levels sectioned into eleven parts (or some such). Still a speculation based on the minimal evidence, of "This trailer is 1/3 of the way through the game".

However, I digress, my job is not to explain, or even correct your inaccuracies. Therefore, I am stopping this argument before it goes any further, by not proclaiming that I may be right, nor proclaiming that I may be wrong.
