What we've seen so far in the Halo 2 demonstrations and trailers, a lot of the earth conflict takes place in Africa. I Was born in Cape Town South Africa btw. With places like New Mombasa and Zanzibar, im beginning to wonder, is it the only continent left? (btw, im glad the rest of Africa is up to date, New mombasa looks so modern, for 2552 that is) Go Rugby!

Africa is expected to have the largest population growth in the future.

I was wondering today, what happened to the moon? Have the covenant taken it, or is it now a huge hub of human orbital defence weapons? Or is there already something about that in one of the books?

maybe because of the variety of environments in Africa. The jungle, New Mombasa (city environment), deserts, and savannahs. Bungie could be showing off their abilities to create whatever environment they want to.

I live in Africa. To be more specific, I live in Kenya. No I'm not Kenyan... I'm American. I think that the battles in Africa is pretty cool because I have been to these places that Bungie is visualizing. I have been to Mombasa and it looks spiffy the way bungie made it to in the game. Truthfully, there are only monkies at Mombasa. All of the lions and things like that are more midland. Although that it would be pretty funny if a lion ate a grunt.

in one of my encyclopedias it sayes that they think that human kind began in africa and the nspresd to other parts of the world. if we are indeed decendent off the forerunners then a clue for the convie can be found there. (again sorry for my spelling)

I think maybe becuz maybe in that time there was an iceage and it destroyed all the northern hemisphere and maybe storms and tidal waves detroyed austraila and south america then little old africa in the middle of all was safe? P.s: i recently saw "the day after tommorow pretty good movie" " based on the iceage and all"

Go here and read the part labeled "Possible Storyline for Halo 2." The title is misleading on this topic. Read what I said, and you will get a very educated answer (compared to what the rest of these guys said).

I think something was mentioned (a long time ago) about a low gravity enviroment in Halo 2. This could possibly mean a moon mission, meaning that the moon is intact.

Also, Africa is an smart place to have some of Halo 2 to take place... it's large and relatively flat (in terms of variating elevation), so it's ideal to build cities like in the E3 2003 trailer.

Halo 2 will probably be in many more environments than Halo. I'm going to assume that there will probably be more levels than Halo had.

Yeah, the only topic the halo designers got flamed for was the repetative environment! so this time around they've gone all out and made some brilliant vast environments! Africa is a totally new place to base a game around and i think thats awesome, good move on bungies part! also its got so many diff environments from jungles to deserts it gives the creators an oportunity to replenish themselves from there formal repetative ways! and lions are pretty!
