seh looks like a alen anyway

Anyone have any ideas/theory's as to how big New Mombasa will really be? I really would love to wander around a HUGE area, hunting down Covenant patrols. I know that we may get to experience new areas as we find our squad mates, but I hope that once we beat the game we'll get to explore New Mombasa without having to worry about finding your squad. Please post ideas or theory's here.

~EDIT~ Map of New Mombasa
Please NO flaming! Thanks

You better close this sig when your done.

From where you start the campaign to where the ONI building is at they said it would take about 30 minutes to walk there. (while fighting brutes of course.) And we also didn't get to see all of the map, and other parts will become available when we complete objectives.

That sounds good. Hopefully we get to go in buildings and whatnot.

I want to go to Old Mombassa, Bungie should make DLC for it. Hotel Zanzibar for the win!

@CJ_Bark: Yeah I'm not sure about that but it would be nice. If you've seen the map most of it is buildings, so hopefully there are at least some we can go in.

it takes about a half hour to walk about 2/3s of the way across the map, and I think it was Staten that said there will be some unlockable areas as you complete certain missions.

It would be really cool to revisit places from Halo 2. If we can actually go around the whole city then we should recognize some things.

  • 06.14.2009 10:52 AM PDT

minimum = GTA 4 Sized New Mombasa
Maxium = Oblivion Or Far Cry 2 Sized New Mombasa LOL

Ok does anyone know the actual size of new mombasa city? maybe some statistics or from the books?

But yeah hope it is big, but big somtimes big may not be neccesary be good, as it may be boring wondering around, so hope its a fun city with lots of things today in it. so it doesnt get boring all the way to halo reach :) also if its a city, where are the civilians? they should be running around, and civilian cars? like the one in the trailer a police car. why cant we use these vehicles, i am pretty sure the ODSTS can break into it and ride it for a escape from lets say Hunters.

i wonder if we can go on motorways also see the sea in the edge of the map. fingerss crossed for a great playable area.

Judging by distances that have been shown and the map. I would have a guess of over 2x2 kilometers. If you don't know metric, deal with it.

Hey guuys check this out form Halo wikia, a MAP! Not sure If this will help us determine the size...but it is a start.

Outdated, they changed the look in ODST. For example, the Space Elevator is now on it's own little peninsula.

? ......... sorry can you please dumb it down for me a bit, and give some examples? perhaps. e.g. 2000x2000 is the size of { insert answer here }

Well, it can give us a rough estimate of the size.

Even better: It's big, but eventually it won't be big enough for us, so I bet there will be expansions.

And there probably won't be expansions...

I mistyped. I meant over 2x2 kilometers. I plugged it into a converter and 2 kilometers is 1.24274 miles.

nice! maybe a map will come with Our Halo 3 ODST in the box? LOL there are alot of connecting motorways can we go there and jump into the sea? is there any boats to traverse the sea? can you fly in the game with banshees? can go to the top of the skyscrapers? and jump off? so many questions. september 22nd the day we will find out.

i agree we should able to go into some buildings, why not all. there should be a futuristic shopping mall. why not its a city afterall. also a train that circles the entire city.

  • 06.14.2009 11:10 AM PDT

Going into buildings, maybe to get onto the roof would be good for Romeo's Flashback.

  • 06.14.2009 11:13 AM PDT

nice. well what about km?

far cry 2 :- 50km2
elders scroll oblivion :- 41km2
just cause :- 1012km

Halo ODST:- ?????

since this is a campaign focused they got a whole DVD to play around with, because mm is on another disc, so thats 12GBs of space they can fill up with a decent sized new mombasa.

  • 06.14.2009 11:17 AM PDT

Tallahassee?
I spent two weeks in Tallahassee one night.

I think that it will be a bit smaller than Fallout 3 so pretty good sized.
