So in H2 what structure? Was it that tall black building in New Mombasa?


I think what you are refering to is an "Arcology" or something like that.

It's like a giant structure that some of the highly populated countries are looking into. Because there is no more room on the ground, the plan to build up.

Imagine a city, in a building, complete with food shops, hospitals, and stuff like that.


No we are referring to a SPACE ELEVATOR and we know exactly what we are talking about.
It is a transportation device for things that need to get to space, to get to space without having a huge rocket attatched to it.


I know what you are talking about.

I'm just saying that unless you saw that building in new mombassa go aaaall the way into outerspace, then its not a space elevator.

I don't think we've seen one yet at all. They are only known through the books as far as I know.

New Mombassa it self was an arcology.

Just trying to help.

No I freaking told you to cut the hose off, if i told to pull it off then i would have said pull it off. Now you broke the AC you dumb ass.
Me to my mother.

in the trailer the rings looked like the giant fan in zanzibar,maybe its a field full of giant fans.and the thing that MC walksthrough could be a generator.

It's been pretty much confirmed by Bungie that the structure was a space tether/elevator. Look in the Q&A section of the latest weekly update: Schedonnardus' question.

Check out all my theories and creations at HBO!

Or read my fanfic, "Effort Cannot Conquer Faith" -- it won a signed novel from Eric Nylund!

But can it be seen while playing H2?

Yes. It's the really tall tube thing that stretches way up into the sky in the background of all the Earth levels. The best place to see it is at the very end of the Metropolis level: just go to the part where you have to board the Scarab, but instead of boarding it, follow the walkway you're on along the canal all the way to the end. The space elevator is the big structure on the other side of the water.

New Mombosa was not an arcology, simply because: you can see the sky. An arcology has to be completely sealed away in it's own little building. Have any of you guys read Peter F. hamilton's 'Night's Dawn' trilogy?

It's an elevator used to carry supplies to the orbital MAC connons. Much like the Cairo which was the first level in Halo 2.
