Read this thread at HBO. It started some interesting speculation.
It may sound silly but NASA has considered it.

Look in the background of the Halo 2 LE case what is that?
Could it be a space elevator?

That's so weird, I was thinking the exact same thing (space elevator) when I looked at the back of the Limited Edition tin at BestBuy.com. My first thought was "another Halo!", but I doubt Bungie would show something like that so far before release. It could also be a really tall skyscraper. No clue.

This is VERY interesting! That empty space in the middle might be a magnetic TUBE. Like the maglev instead it pushes from each side(not at crushing strength mind you) so it cant fall off as easily. And the spaces make it aerodynamic. And this is africa(i think its new mombasa) and like the article said(third one) equator works best. This could lead to a repair station, construction bay etc. I doubt its a building b/c the empty spaces arent very economical and it would be much easier to just build smaller buildings.

problem, by then wouldnt it reach out to mars or something? if so wouldnt the covenant blast it to bits? then again it could lead a place where they make ships n stuff. or its like some repair station thingie it leads to a space repair station and suplies run from earth to it giving a fresh suply all the time!

That could be part of the attack, special ops forces enter there with camo and infiltrate the city's generators and com.

yes, but you would assume then that a covie ship could easily shoot it with one or two pulse lasers and short circuit the thing

I would assume that it links two important things(something and Earth... dur) that the covenant wanted. If they destroyed the elevator it might throw off its orbit and send it to jupiter or god knows where.
