Subject: Does anyone know EXACTLY how large the free-roamable area is?

It's all in good fun!

I mean, a good comparison would be against, say, Oblivion, Fallout 3, any of the Grand Theft Autos, or similar circumstances. I just wonder how big it is, because we haven't had any real indication, and I'm, honestly, kind of concerned.

EDIT: Also, another question: does it incorporate an intensifying style of combat while in the city? Sort of like in Grand Theft Auto: as you make more noise and kill more people, you attract more serious attention and bring in SWAT teams rather than normal cops. It'd be interesting to go from a few dead grunts to pursuing phantoms. I'm pretty sure they haven't said anything like that, but I thought it might be worth asking.

Yes, I cannot wait to see! I hope it's fairly massive, with at least a few wide, long avenues or highways. Car chase for the win!

Well, don't be a retard, OP. No one knows exact proportions, although it's probably safe to say IT'S THE SAME SIZE AS NEW MOMBASA. Look NM up on Halopedia, last time I checked it listed roughly how big it was.

  • 07.24.2009 5:09 PM PDT

77 miles

It's kinda both, actually - funny because it's true.

Sorry, OP, the size isn't listed anymore. It's pretty big, judging by the size of the map and such. Probably a bit bigger than Pacific City (from Crackdown).

Take the level Sandbox. delete guardians. Multiply by 50? Maybe?

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

i belive shhave funzes suppos

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

Look at what you saw in Halo 2 in the cenimatics. Probably all or most of New Mombasa plus Old Mombasa.

  • 07.24.2009 5:21 PM PDT

Im not sure, but i hope its as big as FarCry 2. That will be a awesome...

Sorry, I figured you were just trying to be an idiot. I may have taken it the wrong way. If you were serious with that comment, I apologize. However, I think it's very well possible that it does not contain the entire New Mombasa area, unless I've missed something confirming that it does.

Yeah, I was - and it's cool, you didn't know.

I don't remember where (so I can't link it) but I'm pretty sure Bungie said that you start off with limited area, but once you beat the first flashback, it opens up all of New Mombasa (plus a surrounding highway, apparently). w00t!

About as large as New Mombasa is, I'd hazard.

  • 07.24.2009 6:01 PM PDT

A little less than the size of the biggest island in GTA IV (Can't remember the name).

  • 07.24.2009 6:06 PM PDT

At LEAST a 1km diameter circle.

For reference, The diameter of Avalanche is around 300-350 meters.
