As said, so far it seems that we're getting the Halo 1 campaign on the Halo 1 engine (reworked some to support prettier graphics and XBL co-op), and that the 7 maps advertised in the trailer are for Reach multiplayer.

No word yet on whether or not there is any inclusion of competitive multiplayer on the HA10 engine; probably not.

Yeah, they confirmed on their podcast that it's just not going to happen. Building the network model "from scratch" was too big of an endeavor and they also said they would have had to change some of the gameplay (pistol), which would defeat the purpose.

It's funny how the Halo PC netcode kept a lot of shenanigans in check by being so out-of-sync with the action.
