Yeah, also New Mombosa was the only city invaded in Halo 2 and the huge explosion from the slipspace jump is what most likely turned it into a wasteland and revealed that thing in the ground.

It does look somewhat like the bridge, and if I am not mistaken New Mambasa is somewhere in Africa, so you could be correct. Though how did the trees get there? They would need some time to regrow and it does not look like the ruins of a city. Possibly an area outside the city with the bridge debris being blown there.

Yeah thats most likely what it is, the outskirts of the city I mean. With the huge cliffs thats MC is on being the crater or whatever from the explosion. If you look at the rubble that might be the bridge it does look like it was sort of tossed there if you get waht I mean.

Completely, utterly wrong. It takes place near the base of Mt.Kilimanjaro. Also, its not a bridge, it's the downed space elevator.

It has already been confirmed by bungie that the trailer is near new mombasa but what doesn't make sense is if the covenant only attacked mombasa why is the whole earth "taken over". What the hell is the rest of the world doing.

Also if Halo is rated mature technically the people playing it online are supposed to be over 17. Why then do people get in trouble for cursing if you don't want your seven year to hear "bad language" then by him a gamecube.

Oh well see ya later im gonna play with my wii.

We all know it's New Mombassa.
We all know (everyone who's read the weekly update/FAQ) that that is NOT the bridge. It's the Space Tether (big elevator) that you see in H2 gameplay.
Thanks for pointing out the blatantly obvious.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

Its not New Mombasa. Its about 100 miles inland from New Mombasa possibly on the road to Voi. When the camera pans over the crater, the city outline in the distance is New Mombasa.
