"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

I was just watching it today, the first teaser. I watched as The MC walks up to the bay door and watches. I looked at the planet in front but didn't think much of it, it must be earth I though.

But.... Look past it. I think that in the backround that could be earth. I mean look at the planet, that could be the moon. It is all burnt up, unlike the Earth when you land on it in New Mombasa. It might be the Earth and the moon in the backround, I don't know. Does anyone think that that is a little stange? that it might be the beggining where the MC itches a ride from the MOON to EARTH, and maybe saves some Marine prisoners on the Covinant ship?

Yeah I know. Wait wait....I thought that was the west coast too. Think about it though, you could be right, but they land in New Mombasa. I think that is the southern tip of Africa.

Look at the moon it has the face on it, you know the man in the moon. I didn't ever notice until I was watching to see if the earth was getting glassed in the video.

Nice Goku, I'll have to check that out. its funny, every time I show my friends the trailer. They want to know why in the hell it is in New Mombasa, Africa. I think its a little more original than America in the future. I hate how games try and make the U.S. flag look more futuristic and suff like that.

Well I can't say for sure why it's in Africa but just because it is doesn't mean that's the only place on Earth well be fighting. Then again it may be. Still the idea is we're defending Earth, "fight for her" as the ads say. So to me it doesn't matter where we fight. It'll be a kick ass game anyways.

Can't argue with that. the only thing people know, is that it will be the greatest game ever made.

I'd imagine that the camera is focusing on Earth. I mean, it says in the trailer, [i'm paraphrasing here], "Save the human Race." Humans don't live on the moon. But I don't know, I'll have to watch it again.

It was kinda focused on the Earth but you have a full view of the moon at some point and you can see the man in the moon image. Plus it was never stated humans didn't live on the moon in Halo 2's version of the future(I think). But really I would have to agree and say humans don't. I wouldn't guess any reason to inhabit the moon unless for military purposes.

Wait wait wait. I know for sure because of an interview I read by Bungie, that there is going to be a MOON base in Halo 2. So there, there is a chance since there is one moon base. Wouldn't it make sence that the first moon base was on Earths moon.

True, I wasn't sure if they(Bungie) just meant a level on the moon or what. I figured moon base or crash landing on the moon(rather not explain that one). Still it'll be cool having low gravity. Just don't see the purpose of a moon base though be it for Halo or any sci fi story. It's kinda like buying and selling land on the moon today in reality, just doesn't make sense to me. Then again I'm an idiot compared to the gods at Bungie.
