I read someone earlier say that they thogutht the place in the trailer was new mombasa destroyed i completely believe that now beacuse if you look in the bvackgorund when yuou see the arc.....You see what looks like a ruined city with a broken down bridge in the distance so i think that the earht was at its ends and had no choice and tried to nuke new mombasa in order to try to gain a forefront on the covenant when they nuked new mombasa they uncovered that relic which may be the ARC because if you notice master chief(according to popular belief that may not be him) is walking out of the dirt and then he stops and sees that stuff and wields his AR and thats when the covenant starts flowing in so i think a nuke or something wen off and boom that gets uncovered master chief sees it and then here come th covenant and then i think they were just then getting there and i think that is not the arc but it looks like another cartographer room like from H CE but thats just me if you ask me thats a cartogropher under new mombasa and thery are going to look there to find the arc and try to destroy it before the covenant opnce again almost destroy the univerese and im just glad they didnt show the arbitor or something cause im sorry but i think one of the major mistakes was the arbitor but anyways i think the black seargent the arbitor and cortana along with the graveminds intelligence return to earth or close enough to transmit that message and master chief saw that thru his mind and he is finnaly seing what the covenant were trying to find earth for so badly not to kill the humans but to kill the master chief who is kinda like the covenants anti christ and the map room is under earth and they are the only ones who see that therefore i should stop balbbering along im sorry........-Many people say that their only fear is death

I don't think that is the bridge. It's more circular than the bridge in Metropolis.

They look like the wind power stations from Zanzibar, bashed apart, of course.

Play Metopolis again, those are the bridge suports still roughly intact, and the reason it's "bombed out" was because of the slipspace jump inside the city...

Doubtful that it is New Mombasa. How could such a gigantic structure such as the one shown in the video go unnoticed near a city as large and as advanced as Mombasa? It is very unlikely.

However, it does look like a bombed bridge aparatus of some sorts. Maybe it is debris from something that was hurdled far away from its original position because of the gigantic blast that occured at New Mombasa at the end of the last New Mombasa level's cut scene before the Covenant fleet jumped in the Earth's atmosphere.

why do people think that thing is the Ark? Ok in the FAQ-
Q.-Whats that big Artifact in the Ground?
A.-We are not telling but, Halo fans may recognise it.
Ok go to the H3 section then screen shots, look at the one of "the Ark" It looks like a Halo ring lying sideways. Bungie said something we'll recognise..We have no idea what the Ark looks like.

You know, I just watched the teaser again and when you first see the structure being unearthed there is most definitely a city in the distance all the way on the other side of the structure. I wonder how such a large artifact could go unnoticed for so long.

You're welcome.

Anyone else out there think it is sort of odd that such a huge structure could have gone unnoticed for centuries being built next to such a large city (regardless of whether or not it is in fact New Mombasa)? Seems a little hard to swallow.

I reckon it is that city... it says in the FAQ that "The New Mombasa City Council had an incredibly efficient public works department until and even during the tragic and devastating Covenant invasion."

sure thats a hint?

also it says something about the Chief's gloves being different, and then it mentioned that that might mean that is "Mjolnir Mark VII"... what's that???

See, I was trying to figure out what that meant. Originally, I thought maybe it had something to do with the sign in the beginning and how there is a grunt on it. Thought maybe they were accomodating their new found "inhabitants."

But you do bring up a striking possibility.
