When the smoke clears you will see the face of your killer. It is I ... AfterTheFire

Walking around New Mombasa was painfully boring and was only added to the game to make the game seem longer to the player.
The levels were soooo short and New Mombasa honostly feels like I was walking around a blank canvas from Nav point to Nav point.
Bungie threw this together to get out of their contract with Microsoft faster, in the same way bands put out live albums to make their record deals end sooner. "You have to put out "x" amounts of albums / games."
"Ummmmm, fine here is uhhhhhhh Halo Recon, nonono, Halo ODST."
"It seems short"
"No, we will just make the player walk from level to level"

They ripped us off with this man.

I am a firm believer that when bungie makes you spawn with a pistol, kill someone with a rocket launcher.

I find that walking from level to level is really interesting. The main problem with the other halo games is that its really predictable and liniar(ish), with the mombasa streets there is an element of randomness. Also the city itself is beautiful. I find it interesting to see what a city from the year 2552 is like. Also the ability to choose a route to get from point a to point b is fun to use.

The Audio logs made it more interesting and it's fun to see what weapons you can find hidden in the debris of New Mombasa. The music relaxs you too lol.
