Hmm sneaky suspisions of what you amazing people think it means...post it here.
I posted this idea on HBO as well: since the announcement trailer featured MC jumping out of an airlock over Earth/Covenant ships, perhaps this is a reference to Slim Pickens riding the Atom bomb out of the bomb bay in Dr. Strangelove.
Perhaps in a modified form for inclusion in the game, the trailer will feature MC riding a missile out down to reach a Covenant ship--only slightly less dangerous than just jumping out and free-falling. This explanation is a little far-fetched, but it:
1) relates to the announcement trailer
2) has a double explanation for the word Pickle--a rocket/missile and Slim Pickens
3) would explain why anyone would be riding said pickle
Even if it's not right, it would be a nice little homage, not to mention pretty badass to see.
