There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

The Streets of New Mombasa are only one campaign level, happy? You'll learn more later.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

As Bungie has stated multiple times, the game is not about uncovering the secrets of the Halo Universe or locating Forerunner artifacts. It is about what real soldiers would do in the position of the ODSTs in New Mombasa.

Regroup, get some intel, lay down the law.

wtf

The whole game takes place in New Mombasa, no where else. It's a semi-free roam game.

It's like an open world type of game set in New Mombasa, I don't think we will be seeing any of the halos.

Anyone know if this game will take place anywhere other than New Mombassa? A single setting would get a little boring after a while.

I was thinking Delta Halo might be a possibility.

In Halo 2, after Regret's ship jumps [destroying most of New Mombassa, and exactly the point where "the rookie" drops in], Miranda Keyes follows In Amber Clad. That's how the second halo is discovered. Little later, MC drops down to Delta Halo with a group of helljumpers(odst). Throughout the level more odst reinforcements arrive. Is it possible we'll get to revisit delta halo?


Yes it is possible that you can revisit Delta Halo... Go get your halo 2 disc, pop it into your xbox, and then go to campaign and select the level "Delta Halo"

You should win the game!

Actually, I want to revisit New Mombasa. I loved those two levels in Halo 2. Of course, if its the same one throughout the game, I'm sure it would be boring. But I don't see them revisiting Delta Halo as a possibility. I believe that the ODST's they had on Delta Halo happened to be ones that were on In Amber Clad that followed Regret's ship. I'm sure this game will remain entirely on Earth unless there is some random plot twist.

it appears you have fallen into a sarchasm...
its the gap between someone making a sarcastic comment, and you picking up on that sarcasm...

Are you kidding, New Mombasa was one of my favorite places in Halo 2!

No need to get your panties in a bunch man. I meant revisit it with in a new game engine with greatly improved graphics


No panties here and its not going to happen in this game sir.
Watch some info videos that they post on there news feed and you will realize what they are doing is actually awesome

They are changing up the way you play, and the path isn't linear. This is awesome

Follow the sirens song, to face this empty cycle

well you are not playing as MC so i doubt you will be playing as master chief. because In amber clad was the only ship to follow regrets carrier to delta halo. and obviosly you are not on In amber clad, you are dropped into mombas AFTER regrets carrier jumped to delta halo.

so i dont think we will be seeing delta halo in this game. but you never know, im just saying what i think.

I imagine the portal and forerunner artifact underneath the ONI HQ is going to be a big feature of the game. So I think the Campaign will be half New Mombasa and half Forerunner.

It was a mistake to shift settings then and it would be a mistake now to take the focus away from New Mombossa which truly deserves a fully dedicated title like ODST.

...What?!....WHAT?!..
You get to play as an ODST, and you are complaining about not being able to play at Delta Halo, which is a ruble of ruins.
And if we were to actually play Delta Halo, in H3 ODST, you would be playing the exact same mission as in Halo 2, except in the perspective of an ODST.

We don't know, New mombasa is just the first level, I think.

it's an open world game so it's not like the "levels" from previous halo games. It's not like
lvl 1: New MOmbassa
lvl 2: Delta Halo

It will ALL take place in New Mombasa and you should be glad because tht was the best part of H2
