I been watching the Halo 3 trailer over and over again today for any sign or any indication towards the storyline. Well I think i uncovered a couple of things...though it has little to do with H3 storyline...i think.
If you watch the trailer carefully (Pausing it/Slow-mo/etc.) You make notice that when Cortana speaks, you can see "Software Code" and memory block/square thingys and that she seems to be in pain (or going rampant?). During these parts you can see that the coding and the blocks being pulled apart/distorted/analyzed/absorbed by an unknown force?
The Halo 3 icon can be seen around 0:55, it appears quickly and fades...and shows an faded image of Cortana screaming...(seriously) into the air (this appears right after the quick flash of the icon and disappears)
You can see a city in a distance behind the Artifact....New Mombasa?
The Banshees (8 to be exact) seems to be escorting someone important in the Phantom towards the Artifact area...
35 Covenant Capital ships are present over the area
Why are the Covenant turning away from (from what it looks like) the beginning of their "Great Journey"?

How old is Halo?
While browsing HBO, I noticed something that caught my attention. In the Halo story page, it said that the first Halo have laid dormant for 101,217 local years. lf the meaning of local years means Earth years, then Halo was built AFTER Earth was form, so in other words...Earth could support life. Now considering that Halo is a weapon that wipes out any lifeform that has enough biomass to sustain the Flood, which meant whatever lived on Earth 101,217 years ago is dead. Now think about this guys, on Earth there is a periodic mass extinction that occurs every 300 million years...What if Halo was built long before being discovered again 101,217 years later by the Humans? What if some life form capable of space flight stumble upon Halo, release the Flood, and was chosen as Reclaimer by the Monitors? This would help explain how Gravemind came into being on Delta Halo. The person that was forced (or trick) to activate Halo would everything in the galaxy dies...and process keeps on repeating...would that mean about 101,217 years ago that someone activated the ring to stop the spread of the Flood? or was Halo build 101,217 years ago and fire when completed by the Forerunner?

This is all I have for now, I'll repost later if I find more interesting facts/details from the trailer or noticed something interesting in the Halo story.
