"Help Help I'm being repressed! Come and see the Violence inherent in the system!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh did you see that? you saw him repress me?"

"The handfull of Marines who surived the covenant assault, called this place hell on Earth"

1. We surive
2. "Called this" meaning that they fought there! surely that means Zanzibars a SP level?

ooooooooooooo yea you got a point there, but i choose we survive. even though it would be awsome to see Zanzibar as a SP level.

Well i still think that you'll play on it, bungie say: "We call it Zanzibar" and why would they name it if they don't go there? <i no its a real place>.

Also: If you look at all the MP maps, they all look much more real, like an actual place, compared to Halo CE in which they all seem just designed <look at blood gulch, would anyone build that?>

Because it is a MP level?

Bungie said its not in the SP but it connects to the story probably like in pandora tommorow the spy vs merc missions connect to each other.

All the maps were on Halo in the first game, Halo was built by the Forerunners, so to tie up that loose end, the Forerunners built them (not for any purpose, just so that if a group of aliens or humans landed on Halo, they would have bases from which to fight for control of strategic box canyons). Or maybe the Forerunners liked CTF?

And to the original poster, of course we survive the Covenant attack. The game would end badly if all humans were destroyed. Besides, Bungie has confirmed that MC will take the fight to the Covenant's home planet.

I think he's referring to the Covenant invading Earth. They probably attack all over the world, but that doesn't mean there will be a level for each.

What he meant was the initial attack. The covenant surly we fighting battles on all parts of the earth, and marine's had to of repelled some of those attacker's. As for the whole sp thing.... Well i dont remember wich update, but they said they wanted all the mp levels to feel lived in, and to have story behind em. They wanted everthing to connect, so it was a more streamlined experiance. That's why they have the elites in mp, they wanted to recreate sp in mp as best as possible.

"The marines who fought there called it hell on earth." means that marines have fought there. doesn't have to mean they fought the COVENANT there...

There are a lot of ill-informed people in this thread.

In the demo he says "...who survived the covenant"

The covenant did attack it, it does relate to the Halo 2 story, and is not a SP level. Im 95% sure Bungie said so, and even if they didnt... "the story would have been different if we had more of these on the ground" when its circling the Spartan, so there wasn't a Spartan there for the invasion, so you don't play there. Unless there was a forerunner artifact under there, and you go to the ruins of it, but I doubt it, Im pretty sure Bungie said it wasn't a SP level.

Its not a sp level because it would ruin it, and they would have to add on a ton of stuff

I remember a quote where they said every MP map will have a story behind it now. It won't be just some random place. That isn't saying that it is going to be in SP. It's just saying there will be a little bit of history to the map.
