I saw that too, them half circle metal things lying around is its orbital elevator, and u can see its ruins at the end of the mission because it was glassed on halo 3... so if halo 3: odst is in between halo 2 - halo 3 maybe u get to see it being glassed

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

Yeah, that was intentional. When your playing on the level "Crows Nest" and "Sierra 117" your in the jungle of East Africa, and once you escape the bunker and start the level "Tsavo Highway" your on what used to be a highway connecting everything together (Voi, Old Mombasa, and New Mombasa)

It was intentional, but you never actually go to New Mombasa in Halo 3. Your damn near it though.

1. That's not the Orbital Elevator. Your 100 miles away from New Mombasa, how could it be?
2. Who ever said New Mombasa was glassed?

The elevator was thousands of kilometers high.

Look at miscellaneous

Scattered across the land are the remains of the New Mombasa Orbital Elevator. It collapsed after New Mombasa was "glassed", and not by the slipspace rift created when The Prophet of Regret's ship fled the city on October 20th, 2552.

Halopedia knows all

it's not in miles, says km after it. that means Kilometers. all the measurements in Halo are in Metric if you pay attention.

Also, a few of us were talking during matchmaking and Halo: Reach is definitely going to be, not a first person shooter, not a third person shooter, but a second person shooter. Bungie is going to revolutionize the way you watch other people play games.

Anger issues?

And this isn't so much an easter egg as it is a factual reference. Not really sure what this has to do with ODST either.

i finally get the halo 3: odst story =] ok in halo 2 in new Mombasa where u faught the scarab u chased the high prophets flagship in amber clad into hyper space thingy, seconds later a EMP blast destroyed the whole city, but just befor John-117s pelican took off in pursuit this happened

Just before the Carrier jumped, remaining ships of the UNSC Home Fleet deployed dozens of Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicles down to the city in an effort to infiltrate the Carrier - from Halopedia

They also dropped ODST soilders, so obviously they were released to stop the high prophet but a EMP blast knocked them away, when the blast took off Dare said "just as i planned" so that means that dares a undercover alien!

Your right its not a easter egg, as Tsavo highway is a real place which goes from Arush to Moshi to VOI to MOMBASA and from Voi to Mombasa is 125KM

J-H

In Amber Clad is Miranda Keye's ship, if i'm not mistaken...It's not Covenant
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/UNSC_In_Amber_Clad

Also to the people who say "New Mombassa wasn't glassed"...You are correct (as far as i can remember)...I think people are getting Voi (from Halo 3) and New Mombassa (from Halo 2) mixed up because Voi does get glassed by Rtas 'Vadum (The Seperatist Fleet Master) to stop the spread of The Flood infection.

If you think of that as an easter egg, then the space elevator shattered all over the savannah should count as oen too.
