It would be a bit boring if it was just in Africa it should be all over the world.

I live in New York and I would love driving a warthog down broadway and through times square. That would be insane.

They're in Afirica because that is the "main" Covenant insertion point. I don't know why.
Also, concerning the Moon, I'm pretty sure it's still there. It's in some pics. Here's a lazy link.

Why Africa u ask?
Here is my simple and infinately complex solution:
Notice for a sec. Sgt. Johnson is the only black person in Halo, and he is as funny as hell.
Everyone else is white, but are not funny.
Now supposedly, the black popluation is very high in africa.
Now consider this,there is ONE black AND funny person in Halo and there are All white AND NOT funny people in Halo.
So logically in the halo universe some how the black and funny ratio is some how higher than the White and funny ratio so by having battles in Africa there is a greater probablity of ppl like sgt. Johndsn making ppl laugh.
Luaghing impairs ones ability to aim and fight, so by having it in Africa increases the black and funny ratio drasticly therefore making the increasing the game difficulty.
and in Lengendary there simply needs to be more black ppl.
AND THAT IS WHY MOST OF THIS TAKES PLACE IN AFRICA!

I must say, Fractured_Logic, your logic seems a bit . . . fractured.

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.


well obviously the moon is intact. Zanzibaar had waves in the water, without a moon that would not happen.

Finally one has seen with unfractredness how truly easily logic can be both logical and inlogical if one too posses the ablitily of fracturing a logic post-fracurtedillogicly.

Anyone who can put that in plain english, I will pay 50 dolllars to, it can be done, that is why they call me fractured_logic

Ok covies started out with africa because:
A: it is big meaning they can land alot of troops there.
B: The atmosphere is the thinest around the equater that is why launch our ships in Florida.

Also I bet there will be battle on almost every continent on earth except Antartica.
I mean there is the new snow warthog and there is no snow in Africa. and If MC goes to every habital continent that is 6 earth levels right off the bat. As for a fight in the US that would be ok but don't make it New York or LA make it like Bumb Fu ck Georgia if you want a big city battle with alot of recognizible monuments make it Paris or London. Also a battle in the Amazon would be cool people always forget about South America.

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

Earth has been overpopulated anyway, so maybe Africa is the only place left habitable...

They're most probably after some Forerunner artifact in Africa. Also note that in the E3 2003 demo, the Cheif and Cortana were trying to get to a Covenant cruiser that "took two in the nose and then dropped into the atmosphere." The plot may have changed since then, but I wouldn't rule it out as a reason for the Cheif being there.

I really hope that there is at least on mission in North America, no matter if it's Mexico City, L.A., Washington D.C., Atlanta, NYC, or anywhere in Canada...**cough**except Montreal**cough**...I should really get this cough checked out. Oh, but no Paris mission either please, I mean this time the French would be fighting a superior alien force, chances are that France sent a surrender message after we lost the first colony.

Here is my theory.

The reason Halo 2 takes place in Africa is because AIDS evolved into little creatures called covenant. With AIDS being the most prominent in Africa, the covenant all gathered into Africa. Initially they just killed little black kids as food and kept to themselves. But soon, they grew into an aggressive army. And this is how Halo 2 begins.

The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers are in modern-day Iraq. Human civilization is supposed to have begun there. New Mombasa is in Kenya. They're at least a thousand miles apart, but don't hold me to that - that's a rough estimate.
