If you all remembered the Halo 2 E3 2003 demo, you'd recall how grand and futuristic New Mombasa looked (back when it was being referred too as Earth City). If you don't, then here:

The city grew so large it started building on top of itself, creating a single skyscraper.
It was breathtaking when we saw that first Pelican fly into the city.
You'd see why I was slightly depressed when I saw how modest New Mombasa turned out to be in H2. Halo 3 ODST looks like it's making a decent attempt at a futuristic city -civilized and modern.
But it just doesn't look like a city that'd be around more than 500yrs in the future.
So I'm hoping Halo Reach will attempt to create something along the lines of that first E3 demo. Not exactly the same, but something memorable. Reach was a very important planet to the UNSC, and it was very busy, so I wouldn't doubt that it's advanced farther than a city on Earth known for it's space-elevator.
It'd be fun to see it. Anyone else think so?
