I'll be blunt, I could very well be wrong. But after checking out the multiple ODST trailers, I decided to do some investigating. I looked at frames of some gameplay demos and came crafted up this theory,

This is the New Mombasa Transit map, I'm sure some of you have seen it.

I started out in Halo 2 at the beginning of the Metropolis level on the bridge. I assumed this area was said bridge because it practically exits out to a park, exactly what happened when you finished the Metropolis bridge. I also found an area that seemed to resemble where the Scarab got stuck.

This gave me a bearing on the general position of Regret's ship.

It would appear to be around here in my opinion.

These dots represent the ODST pods heading toward Regret's ship. They would be coming from above, but it would be hard to show with Paint. Sorry.

Now if you watch the ODST Gameplay Trailer, you'll see the Rookie's pod get nailed by another ODST's pod. Now, getting hit by a high velocity object while you are also going at a high velocity should send you WAY off-course.

Using the ships previous placement, I angled the Rookie's POSSIBLE trajectory to around here. Note the red X is not the landing site, it would be the half-circle below.


Now if the Rookie did hit this area, he might have to cross this bridge, but since the cityscape of New Mombasa has been apparently changed a bit, I would assume this would be the exit tunnel the Rookie took out during the Gameplay Trailer.

Why? I noticed that this road curves to the left with a view of the water like in the trailer. If we follow this logic, then the ONI Alpha SIte that Dutch fought in would be around this area.


Before you say "WRONG!", keep in mind I am only speculating. I am probably 99% wrong, but does it hurt to just think? What do you guys think?

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

Haha, interesting feedback. But even more interesting concept. If you're right, we could totally use this to maneuver around in Halo 3 ODST...oh wait they give us a map already. :[

Still though, at least you got a brain exercise!

Thanks, but remember New Mombasa got a makeover. The Orbital Elevator is on its own island now, but still.
