Joe staten said in before the e3 demo that Africa (new mombasa) was the major insertion point of the covenant, i wonder why they would choose Africa.

thats obvious. think of the pyramid structures in egypt, there are many theorys on these been made by an alien race. now lets look at the forerunner architect, they have designs similiar to hyroglyphics if i can remember some points? now maybe the pyramids etc are guarding a great underground forerunnner facility. also the wallpapers on bungie, one of them is an egyptian hyroglyphic type wallpaper, but why pick and egyptian hyroglyphic theme as a wallpaper? is it just pure coinicidence, or on purpose?

omg, nice point dude, never thought of that. Also i never read anyone theorize about it in this forums. And there's also a legend in the egiptians about a tomb, "the visitant" tomb, also i saw a documentary about it once, the KGB apearently found that tomb, etc..... it was amazing, but anyway, back to topic, if bungie knows about this legend, probably they used it to fit the storyline.

Probably because Africa is the least defended country. It also has thousands of square miles of wide open plains, perfect for the Covenant to invade and make their base. If they attacked the US or Europe on the other hand, they wouldn't get a very warm welcome and they would be surrounded by troops. Just my opinon.
