I'm pretty sure it's the bridge from H2 in new Mombasa. That would explain why the prophet went to Earth and New Mombasa in Halo 2.

I would have said that it was the fallen wreckage from the orbital cannons. They circles that surrounded them in space looked an aweful lot like the wreckage in the announcement trailer.

That is the sensible answer.

I will admit first time I saw it I thought 'Hang on - they look like the structures of destroyed Halos!'

Then I slapped myself!

Those are definitely the rings and support columns from the bridge in New Mombassa and from the lvl Turf in MM. I think the rest of the wreckage was just debris from fallen crafts and orbital cannons.

It can't be. The clue is in the name of them. Orbital Cannons.
Unless the blast had such power that it literally knocked them out of orbit and they just went plowing into Earth, but they would have made a hell of a big hole had that of been the case.

Yes! Those are remains of the New Mombasa bridge! Which means, the big crater with the Ark was actually the underground of New Mombasa. We can conclude that the Slipspace jump that was made by Regret's capital ship destroyed the city and created the huge crater we see in the trailer with the Ark.

It also explains why Regret first landed on New Mombasa: The Covanent have known where the Ark iwas since the beggining, but as we know, Regret rushed in ahead of the other Prophets and because of the Master Chief he was forced to retreat to Delta Halo with the rest of the fleet.


Note: The reckage cannot be the Orbital Platforms, if they were to fall in the atmosphere they would most likely be burned off.

I think they are parts of that tall-@55 building that used to be in new mombasa.. The one with the rings surrounding/supporting the whole thing.. I'm pretty sure that tower got a ticket to hell and back when regret left earth with a bang.
