Subject: Orbital incorporated into ODST?

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

As we saw from the trailer, the Helljumpers drop from near an orbital platform (we can see the tether) so can that mean that the Mythic Map will somehow be incorporated into the beginning of ODST?

Unlikely. The orbital elevator seen in ODST is the New Mombassa space elevator in Africa, Orbital is set on the Quito Space tether in South America.

Really? Was that one mentioned in a Novel? I remember reading about Spartans defending an elevator somewhere in SA.

This world sucks. Socialism rocks. 4chan and /b/ aren't bad. The Flood has lost it's shininess. The Internet is still the same. The Halo 3 Forum has drastically changed, for the better, since Halo 3/2007. And still I'm one depressed Mother-blam!-.

No. The Orbital is supposedly "hovering" over the Caribbean sea. This is Africa not the Caribbean. Sorry, and besides Bungie hasn't made a multi player map that is directly tied into the direct storyline.

True, you can read that Orbital is on Quito in the monitors along the facility.
But, how the New Mombasa elevator fell down?

Nope, the one you are thinking of is the elevator in Havana, Cuba.
