I think the beginning of Halo 3 will take place in Chicago, then later
go back to New Mombasa. The ship that Master Chief is on will crash land into there or something along those lines. My evidence to support my argument is the map Foundation, which you were supposed to get after you beat Campaign.
The description of the map reads,
"Deep in Chicago Industrial Zone 08 lies the decommissioned Tactical
Autonomous Robotic Defense System testing facility."
Maybe that has something to do with the plot of Halo 3, but to point of
the matter is that Chicago had nothing to do with Halo 2, unlike all of
the other maps before it, where you can tell which levels they come
from.
There is even more proof that Chicago will have something to do with
Halo 3. On Foundation there are Halo 3 icons hidden by where the rockets respawn. You can see then by standing where the sword spawns and looking right above the yellow and black paint in front of the rockets. Here is the link to the picture http://i4.tinypic.com/111l1xs.jgp
Edit: Thanks to FinishtheFight for finding this
Also, Chicago was where Bungie got their roots, and no one would blame them for wanting to incorporate their home into their games.
Edit: In a recent video released by IGN, they speculated that the trailer of Halo 3 was around halfway through the game. So where be Master Chief be at the beginning of the game? Maybe in Chicago.
Also, they cut out 3 levels from Halo 2 Campaign, so maybe the level of Chicago was already planned out and ready to go.
