"That thing about always darkest before the dawn? Sometimes you just need to turn on a light." - Preston Marlowe
In the ViDoc Terra Incognita there is an image of New Mombasa when it was still in development and one thing caught my attention: A Highway.
Terra Incognita at 2:09 you can see the curved highway and another at 2:12.
I think it would've been a nice addition to New Mombasa and make it a more versatile environment and more tactical playing style.
For example: Let's say a flashback mission is located on the highway. Mickey's for example since he's fighting through the city to a rally point. There two Covenant patrols and a Plasma Turret on the highway between you (The Rookie) and the highlighted object. Fortunately there are plenty of destroyed vehicles on the highway as well for you to take cover behind. You're pinned down by the Plasma Turret while the two patrols come around and flank you from the sides. You're backed against the wall with limited movement because the Plasma Turret will tear you to shreds on Legendary, especially if there is an Engineer providing shielding for the operator. The Brutes are closing in fast and you are only armed with an M7S SMG and M6C/SOCOM Automag. A plasma pistol is also placed somewhere near your location to aid.
Other then game play purposes, it would be a unique piece of scenery. It would be fun to have a Sniper Rifle and be on a high ground overlooking the highway picking off Covenant. It would add to the badass lone wolf feel.
