the year 2552 most likely means that almost all of those places would either be dramatically changed, or not even there anymore.

it would be so much cooler to have one in some quiet new england town straight out of a stephen king novel or something... with only one hospital/ postoffice and a little ice cream shop and a small local highschool, all of which would be controlled by th covies cause they came in and slaughtered the inhabitiants. and there could be one house, formerly occupied by one of those paranoid, conspiracy nuts that would be like an armory with all sorts of rocketlaunchers and rifles.

the world isnt just america, and i predict in the future, america wont be so hot anymore. Other economies are rising to become pretty big. but it probably will have levels in america.

I dont think that would be a very good idea. It sounds good on paper, but it would kind of ruin the whole sci fi thing.

Actually, I think only Los Angeles would be the only inhospitible city (by 2552, how would you breathe? ;) )

Technically, there wont be an America, the world has a unified government.

Personally, I'd like to have a level in Redmond, WA...with the entire level inside Bungie towers :)

SB-117

Showing africa as an advanced area actually makes the game seem more futuristic than seeing america. Perhaps it would be cool to see like shards of the statue of liberty that the covenant have destroyed as a little reminder that they are killing earth and you must stop them.

Highly advanced Africa = futuristic
America = Too modern

The thing about that is, I think that there really is no "america" as we know it today in the game. Its a whole different story, and that is what makes it cool. If they modified the cities to suit Halo then it would be neat. In new york there would be giant skylines and towers you could go in.

Great idea. I'm from a New England town just like that.

Just because Earth becomes a unified gov't doesn't mean that the different countries will lose their names. If anything they'll stay for geographical reasons. And my best bet is America is still footing the UN's bill(notice how all the soldier's speak English?)

I'm kidding guys. Don't take the political thing seriously now.

I know that it wouldn't be realistic to have the same structures and points in a city... but come on... Halo isn't really all that realistic in this way: aliens, super armor, pump shotguns 500 years into the future... etc.

It would be cool to see it, though. I wouldn't mind battling next to Lady Liberty or the gateway arch...

Sci-fi = Hong Kong + Tokyo.

Honestly though, the reason I think Bungie picked Africa is because the Xbox doesn't have the power to render the vision they must have a supermegainsanelylargeopolis that New York 2552 will be. Oh wait, it will be underwater. Replace New York with Houston then.

I think there should be a level in Antarctica. The Thing could lay the smack, er... squish-down on the Covies.

Why should the US be in Halo 2? Just because some people believe that the US is the most important place, doesn't mean it should be in Halo 2. There are many countries that would be better suited for a Halo 2 level; swiss alps- snow battle :), the south american jungles, and the middle eastern deserts. Besides, I'm personally sick of playing video games in American cities. Also, many people outside of the US, such as in Canada, where I am, are sick of the self absorbed Americans prancing around like they're something special.

I completely agree with you keegan being how i am also from Canada i think Russia would be the best country to have the game simply because you have forest, desert, ocean, tundra, jungle and huge cities it has all the enviroments you would want.
