In this cutscene we see the Master Chief only carrying a Assault Rifle, but after the cutscene is over and it switches to gameplay Chief is suddenly carrying a Battle Rifle?
Did I completely miss the Battle Rifle or did 343 completely space over that detail?
I watched it again. He switched weapons before the cutscene. 
Aah, our first scrutinized complaint…
Maybe there’s an entire mission in between? Cause I sort of feel like they showed us gameplay from the second or third mission. MAYBE.

lol… who cares its not that big of a deal
Oh, wait, I see what you mean. Yeah, I always thought it looked like there was a part of the mission there. He starts on top of a cliff and then is suddenly in a jungle. I think this was just the way the trailer was cut.
The floaty orb zipped anyway at the beginning supposedly 70 something km to crash estimate. Once gameplay starts, the orb is close by.
Looks like a time lapse or skipped mission?

That’s what I felt. We don’t even see how he got off the UNSC ‘Forward Unto Dawn’. There’s most definitely missions before, after and in and between what we’ve seen.

A complain is expression of dissatisfaction. The OP expressed no dissatisfaction… Just concern(and rightfully so).
Calling it a scrutinized notice would be more appropriate

There is a large time gap between the cutscene and the gameplay. Cortana said, in the cutscene, that the Infinity would crash about 70-some kilometers away, when Chief is right next to it during the gameplay.
I was wondering the same thing. In the GI article, they talked about the first mission where you wake up, are greeted by Cortana, and grapple with a Sangheili. This is almost certainly the second mission (mimicking the closed in first level and wide open second level of the original Halo:CE and many of the other Halo games.

I think they said its a third of the way through the campaign, so yeah
Op, I do agree its a bit weird, but when clips like that are thrown together, it has always served me well to think of them as a segmented montage rather than a film or video from start to finish. I concur with this reasoning right now.
