Im glad its in Africa, usually Im fighting in America or Europe... Africa is a nice change of scenery!
And who knows in the future maybe Africa becomes a big superpower in the World!
Yeah, I have to go with that I mean Africa is a great place, because in most war games it's the US,The Americas, Europe. It works out for Africa.
if u read halo: first strike or Halo: the fall of reach they give u a few clues. in the books the ytalk about how the earth and reach are/were protected by orbital guns called super MAC cannons. you see, while these guns are operational the earth or any planet protected by them is almost inpenatrable. the guns shoot a magnetically accelerated round that weighs 300,000 tons! now when reach was overrun by the covenant it was only because the covenant managed to destroy one of the cannons, thereby creating a hole in the defense big enough for the covenant fleet to get to the planet and the rest of the guns. now this is why i figure the covenant are focusing on a certain area of africa because they proably managed to take down one of the cannons that defends earth and it was orbiting over africa.
Fun Fact: if u go back and watch the video from E3 where the MC jumps from the human ship to the covenent ship, turn up ur speakers and listen closely to the radio chatter playing in the background as the cheif is making his way to the launch bay, u can hear the officers talking about the orbital guns
