Think people, bungie has a sort of reputation with its Halo trailers, how they -never- happen...
Lets take a look back, and I'l list some things that didn't happen:

The HALO, e3 trailer
* The whole thing didn't happen.
* You can't weild the energy sword, which Master chief did in the trailer.
* Master chiefs head didn't wobble -_-'
* There is no "rocket hog".
* We couldn't understand the Elites in the game.
* Elites didn't have Jackal type sheilds.
* Major/red Elites don't weild Energy Swords.

Now, the two Halo 2 trailers.

Halo 2 e3 trailer (cinema)
* The cutscene itself did not happen.
* Master chief flies out Cairo with a bomb, not to go to earth.

Halo 2 e3 gameplay
* You didn't fight brutes in mombasa.
* mombasa itself didn't look like that.
* No single shot BR.
* No large plasma canon atacking you.
* No "I bet ya can't stick it" scene.
* SMG reticule was different.
I can go on and on and on.

Basicly, what I'm trying to say is, yes, they did say it was somewhere in the game, but do you think they're going to actualy keep that footage? I think its more likeley they'l change it, or scrap it.

But I also think we're looking too far into this.

Yeah, well, surprising as it sounds, things do get changed before they get released, as with almost EVERY other game company in existance, usually for the better.

Bungie learnt a lesson with Halo 2, you can tell from the special features disk in the special edition box set. They know how to attack and build these larger, tentatively awaited sequals now with the feedback and process undergone with Halo 2. They will not make the same mistake twice in development. I still believe there is a lot to be seen in that trailer, and I'm sure Bungie will do their best to keep everything in that trailer in the actual game itself.

There are. but the clues that the trailer tells you consists of:
1. Master Chief is in Halo 3.
2. Banshees are in Halo 3.
3. There is a forerunner structure in Halo 3.
4. New Mombasa is in ruin.
5. The AR may be back.
6. Master Chief has been through fierce battle.
7. The trailer is showing what Halo 3 will actually look like.
8. A few other things.

I'm sorry to say that there isn't much more than that. People are looking into the trailer to find the entire storyline of Halo 3. It isn't there.

Well we can tell that Cortana is in the clutches of the Gravemind due to the melding of their voices in the trailer, the guys at Bungie even mentioned that in the making of documentary. Isn't that a clue at how the storyline of Halo 3 will progress? Not the entire story but a fraction of it.

All we knew at the end of Halo 2 was that the Gravemind was talking to Cortana. There was no way we could be certain that he could do anything but ask her questions, but the fact that his and her voice are speaking together in this trailer is a direct sign that we know he has some ability to control AI.

The Halo 2 ANNOUNCEMENT trailer happened in the game, bungie just changed it a bit. I bet the same will happen in Halo 3.

Well.. seeing as they stated that this trailer/cutscene is at some length into the game.. we can assume that atleast some part of it will be in Halo 3. If not all of it.

I think the point he's trying to make is that people should stop seeing little dust particles in the background and claiming it's evidence of elites in warthogs coming to save the day. Or worse, seeing the Ark reflection in Master Chief's helmet and thinking he's communicating with his "buddy spartans." And don't get me started on that Cortana Fetus or evidence of Forerunners in frame 2:43:15.

We should all just watch the trailor, get stoked, and wait. Not reverse the dialogue to fnd clues that don't exist. But then again, that's the glory of being a fanboy, LoL.

I dont there is any secret in the trailer. But i do think there are things that we can gather from the trailer. Like how its possible that the covie and the chief are working together because none of the ships are trying to kill chief. It almost looks like he guided the to the ark whe nyou really look at it.
