In halo 2 when the big ship goes into the slipspace thing and keyes follows them with the chief it shows a huge explosion. Then it showed all of mombasa getting engulfed in BIG flash of light.

So it looks like it just got utterly demolished
How do the ODST survive then....

I dont get it plz explain

You answered your own question. Light can't kill.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

People keep telling me to get a life... I am getting an education, I have a lovely girlfriend and alot of friends... I thought this was having a life? Gues I was wrong...

It was an EMP blast, with the pressure of a slipspace rupture... And by the looks of it, it can cause quite a mess :P

It was EMP. Go watch the video again.

Black Tower

you eventually land
ok, the explosion is like 500 meters above the city.
you're a good deal more than that above the ship and the jump. not to mention you're also roughly 1000 meters away horizontally.
you land in the city. because drop pods can't float.
you might land where the jump happened because the turbulance caused your pod to go on a wacky path.

if the explosin was nuclear, there wouldnt be a city, it would be a crater

It wasn't a nuclear explosion, so the city wasn't destroyed, it was an EMP blast.

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

The blast from the ship was a pressure/EMP blast, which is why there was some destruction in the city. It wasn't an explosive entrance into Slipspace, therefore the city is still there.

I must have taken a wrong turn.

I'm lost again.

What exactly is an Electric Magnetic Pulse? It sounds deadly. It sounds like it would kill the ODSTs.

An EMP won't kill anyone. It disables all electronic devices though.

  • 06.17.2009 2:25 PM PDT

I am flatterd that you botherd to look at my signature.

here is another idea.. dare rederects your pods... to save you from the blast


maybe you ride it or come after it like in the recon trailer

when i mean ride it i mean ride it like a surfer dose on a wave..

Yep, I'm sure I just ruined the game for about three hundred people with that post...
That thing in your video isn't the size of the one in Halo 3 because they weren't expecting to have you revisit the city. Do you think EMP's are the same things as nuclear bombs and missiles.

105th Orbital Drop Shock Trooper Division.

Me and my men, we drop feet first into hell.

Which is why the Drop Pod shut down, making the landing alot less safe.

Btw before you talk guys get your facts straight ODST is during Halo 2.5 its rate after Chief Leaves and if someone was on the planet during that blast they would have died! but thats why you see the city in ruin....

  • 06.17.2009 2:38 PM PDT

Alex Jones please

all of mambasa wasnt engulfed just part so the odst shock troopers may have landed away.
of the explosion wasnt nucleir

Halo: CE Anniversary Achievement Idea
C-C-C-CANNON BREAKER!
Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

EMPs won't kill you, but it did look like it had a hell of a whiplash that knocked down the New Mombasa Space Elevator and threw your pods out of control.
