Going around cleaning up the master chief's mess. Fun fun fun!
Xbox Live - "High action and deep mystery await players in this new Halo 3 campaign experience. Prepare to drop"
-The camera angles are labelled
-Tanaga
-Lumumba
-Mbaraki
-Error (also flashes Sidiriyai and Makadara)
-Sign says "evacuate city of New Mombasa"
The rest is pretty self-explanatory.
Looks like ODST drop pods to me, and there is the "prepare to drop" reference.
Mbaraki is Mombasa, so the cameras are showing views of New Mombasa.
The space elevator is intact.
There is a huge explosion with an EMP pulse.
I think we are viewing the moment in Halo 2 where Truth engages his slipspace drive in the middle of New Mombasa, destroying the city.
Could the expansion pack be the squad based game we've been hearing about, based on ODST troops, telling the story of Halo 3 from a different viewpoint, starting with the destruction of New Mombasa?

In Halo 2 the tether in Mombasa was destroyed in a blueish, white energy burst / explosion when the covenant ship jumped to the other halo. Maybe you play as an ODST trying to survive the aftermath of that event.
So this expansion would actually tell the sequence of events that happened on Earth between the destruction of New Mombasa and the return of the Chief.
at 44 sec in you can see the Cruiser taking up the whole skyline again, and then at 48 it's gone, after a message in frame 2 in sec 48 saying that Evacuation is complete.
it also says TANAGA - looking online TANAGA is a volcano in alaska - it did look like ash falling from the sky
Mbaraki is a medium sized naval port near mombasa
If it has better graphics , some AA and more imaginative gameplay & enemy design , I am in...
