Nah a Soft Reboot would more like God of War (2018) since it follows after God of War 3 but is ultimately a new start.
With them it's like Theorry said, it's a Spiritual Reboot. In that it's going back to the tone and feel of the original games but it's still continuing the same plot line started in the last game.
On a bigger screen, you can clearly read "Local Ref Zeta" on the screen with the coordinates above, which leads me to assume that this is just the relative position of the Pelican to the Zeta Halo Ring. Don't know if the coordinates actually have a deeper meaning, but going through several combinations and taking into account what VorpalNonsense has posted above, I don't see anything that could reference something that is related to Halo. You either land in the Arctic Ocean or you land close to the Gulf of Guinea, if you don't transform the coordinates and just input them as they are. Playing arround with the decimal values also doesn't do anything special.
I also played arround with the audio file, including checking the meta data and didn't find anything interesting there, but maybe others want to take a look:
Either way... Robey (Director of Player Voice at 343i) actually confirmed that there is more to it (here and here), so I guess we'll be waiting until people find something.
With them saying they want the story to be easier to follow and be a jumping in point for new players I'm afraid that we won't be seeing anybody from the Spirit of Fire. I also don't expect to see any of the Halo 4 and 5 characters, the Arbiter or Blue team, but we'll see.
With this game being the start of a "new chapter" I wonder what it will lead into for future stories if the Cortana threat is dealt with in this game.

Can be anything imo. I mean the Atriox story was pretty cool also. Maybe its a better idea to have more standalone games then a saga again. Easier to change it up also and change course of needed.
That's the voice of Atomic Wonder Woman from that Infinite Crisis MOBA game, I think the next Halo will be a DC cross over and the main character Halo has to kill Superman!

Halo Wars 2 felt like it was setting up the Banished to be the new main Covenant faction, but I don't know what to expect with them wanting a simpler story that doesn't rely heavily on other things. The Banished are one of my biggest hopes, but I don't expect them.
