I wish we could see a picture of New Mombasa (or what used to be) at the conclusion of Halo 3. It would put things into perspective.

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

True, but its not like they knew it was coming.

With Dare and everything, no one really knows what the mission is.

Something like this I would assume.

Yep. Very true. What about the ONI building? Obviously we won't be actively pursuing an objective there because it was destroyed when the Rookie found it.... Buuuut, we obviously have a flash back to live through for one of the other troopers. What do you think that could have to do with the overall plot?

I hate to be "that guy", but I think the ODST's mission is kinda.......pointless. Its not because they aren't capable fighters or anything, its just that later on their "accomplishment" of possibly saving New Mombasa will be void.

Even though Halo 3 occurs weeks later, the effects can be heard during the game. After the mission "Floodgate", the UNSC and Elites are having a little meeting. During this we hear that the Elites glassed half of Africa to stop the Flood. How is this bad? New Mombasa is in the half of Africa they probably glassed.

Talk about a buzzkill. What do you think though?

Well it is true New Mombasa is mostly likely glassed and the prophet escapes, i think Dares mission at the ONI building have a great importance that will be reviled in the single player.

Lol, epic pic for the win.

Well we get to figure out what actually happened. I have a feeling there's a lot more to the story than meets the eye. You can even quote me on that in the coming months.

I think you're exactly right, there's always more to the story than meets the eye. Some plot twist so crazy that almost none of us will be able to predict it. Hopefully.

  • 06.25.2009 10:11 PM PDT

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Never! I will never give you the satisfaction of being right in 3 months!

Juuuust kidding. I happen to agree. There's way more to this story. Can't wait to find out. Stupid time and the slowness with which it moves.

The thing is, I doubt whatever they are there to do though pertains to only what happens later on in Halo 3. For all we know, it could have nothing to do with the Portal and crap.

As a great man has said before "..." That is where the truth lies my friends

So what your saying is there is no point at all to buy this game just because we know what's going to happen, Well with that logic why even buy a WWII/WWI/Historical shooter, we know what happened, It was made for a new look on Halo 3's campaign, basically a new ride, which we've all been wanting.

Hi! It's me!!! Wait what? You don't know me? Oh just see what I can do. XP

New Mombasa is an Island and It doesn't mean that t was glass and the UNSC Head Quarters are there. Ifyou see the screenshot of the marin on the tower and the UNSC medel on the building it means it the HQ. That's why they are and they want to save the people. THat is why we have DARE

god do you people have such a misconstrued idea about what emo is.

Oh please enlighten us. We all want to know how misunderstood you are.

It's possible it wasn't as (in Halo 3) New Mombassa was on the other side of the portal to MC and the flood ship crashed behind MC. So the Elites would have to glass pretty much over the portal to get New Mombassa (which is doubtful as they had to go through the portal after the dreadnought).

  • 06.26.2009 8:01 AM PDT

I don't think it will really matter to halo 3's story but, it will be important to those who aren't clad in mjolnir armor. it's obviously for the fun of not being invincible. when reach comes out it wil be the same thing. we may know what happens generally but in detail, well it could be one helluva ride.

My talents include always knowing the wrong thing to say.

Twitter!

Who knows? I mean they could end up destroying half the fleet.

Yeah man. The Rookie ought to just sit down and die. Who needs to fight for New Mombasa and Earth when he clearly knows how Halo 3 ends.
