I don't understand how this can be set between halo 3 and 4, yet go into the backstory of the beginnings of the war and spartan program unless it is entirely made up of flashbacks

 

There is like 4 years between Halo 3 and Halo 4, which is highly unexplored. At least not like in the books. It's supposed to explain how the UNSC picked up the pieces after Halo 3 and how the Spartan IVs and Spartan Ops came about.

 

It does sound misleading by saying "explore the Human-Covenant war" but I'm sure it means the post-war clashes between the Covenant Remnant and UNSC AFTER Halo 3 and not before.
