Pretty cool, but I wouldn't say a lot of the backstory was revealed. Still, the game looks gorgeous, not to mention interesting...

Well it basically told us the premise for the whole game. Humanity attempts to take back Harvest from the Covenant, and they obviously find more elements of Flood in the Forerunner relics they've found.

That one shot of the Arbiter was friggin' creepy.

This game is starting to look interesting. The plot starting to get a lot more intricate than just "this takes place before Halo 1."

Is that really the Arbiter though? It can't be the same one from Halo 2 and 3 in any case, the time line is too far out of sync.

  I think that was the last Arbiter before our Halo 2&3 Arbiter. The gold Elite that spoke with it may have been The current HALO 2 and 3 Arby. Just guessin

_{Cool trailer. Probably the first video on game trailers that didn't lag much.}
