Well after playing Metropolis about 10 more times looking for any items (buildings, bridges etc...)similar to the rings seen in the background behind MC and across the gaping hole. Is undoubtably (at least to me) the sky hook/space elevator/huge pillar found in Metropolis due to the similarity in shape size and location of the cables and the shear length/distance from the city. Will post pics as soon as my TV tuner card starts working again.

(I know it was already posted a few times but I couldn't find the previous topics)

Actually, it's just one of the supporting arches to the brigde in Metropolis. That's what the wires are.

Yea dude... alotta ppl are sayin it's the bridge, but it just doesn't seem like it is. And it also looks like it stretches along the landscape pretty damn far, so yea... the only thing that big in New Mombasa was that big pillar thing.

Its part of the bridge, based on the support cables.

Nope if you look at the back ground dtructures they are completly round not hemi spherical like the top of the supporting pillars on the cable stay bridge. Also next time you play look up at the sky hook /elevator and you'lls see the cables running down the length of the structure. Also the bridge only had 2 support structures holding it up not 3.

If you wish to see the other ring structure look at the upper left of the screen at 1:35 in the trailer you'll see it just across from the yellow cliff.

that, and the ark was what, a mile from New Mombasa? they would have found it, even if if was in the ocean that was supposedly there before.
