I searched the forums for a topic on this already, but I couldn't find any. Yesterday, Kotaku posted an article that showed the Bungie offices, and one of the pictures showed a pretty big map of the what seems to be the open-world map of New Mombasa.

Here's the pic: ODST Map

If you look at the picture carefully, you'll see some interesting locations such as convoy debris, civilian evac, and the space tether. Overall, it looks a lot bigger that what I expected, so I'm pretty excited.

That's a pretty sweet find, bro.


Thanks, I'm not sure if it counts as spoiler material though. The map does reveal what could be important events/locations in the game.

I'd like to be half-man half-tree in an octopus' garden in the shade.

That's a good thing. I was definitely thinking smaller than that.

That maps scale size looks just like Sandbox for some reason

I think that that is a map of the whole of New Mombasa, if you look closely at it you see ONI Alpha Site (the bridge) and other locations that you can see from the VISR map. If you watch any of the videos where they show the map it looks alot like this.

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

It says Mombasa in the top left

Maximum Ride forever!!! <3

Does anyone remember the earlier mention of one of the space tethers in regards to it being attacked by spartans on another part of earth? I'll see if I can find it, it would definitely bring up some interesting questions. Maybe a similar attack by ODST's?

The full city I think is bigger. Maybe a Grand firefight map to unlock at the end of the game

The map is partially hidden and the map is not drawn to scale, and the reason the Space Tether is gone is because of the Slip-Space rupture.

I think it's way too big to be a firefight map. It could just be the main part of the city that we explore.
Of course that's not to say that it's the ONLY part we'll explore; there could be other locations that aren't shown yet.

I'd bet my butt that's it.

Lol, you can have that bet, I am fine knowing that I won :)

I'd guess that the green circles represent the flashback locations. If the map is current and shows the entire map, then it appears there are 6 flashbacks.

I think some beacons are hidden behind other items in the picture.

Here's a thought..

I've heard the rookie goes around at the start, in a large freeroam area, as he finds objects/whatever and has a flashback blah blah.

Maybe this is it..?
