im not speculating anything. its just cool cuz i noticed that those rings that stick out in the background in the beginning of the trailer look alot like they were once rings to one of those giant fans on zanzibar (which by the map description is located in new mombasa)

You are exactly right. Those rings are the bridge from New Mombasa.
Also explains why New Mombasa was the first Covenant target. (That thing is probably the ark.)

Actually, those are the remaineder of the New Mombasa city bridge, or one like it. Some interesting tidbits I've found are:

* Played slowly in reverse, the first Coretana scene sounds like the Flood. Besides the obvious fact of her location, this doubly proves that Gravemind has somehow broken Coretana.
* The sign that is flapping in the wind is a red triangle with a Grunt in the middle. If you pause and look carefully, the shape is very distinguished.

That's all I've gotten so far. Though I have noticed one other thing: Marty's music plays very well in reverse. In fact, it sounds like a violin impression of the original Halo theme music. Which means either:
* Marty is really lucky
* Marty is a fricken genius.

I'll go with the genius option. Nice oWn4g3 Marty. =D
