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.

I am...whimsical today.

Calm down eddie, of the two places that the MC has visited on Earth, it is not 'Bungie up its own ass' to make one of them in Chicago. I have no problem with it, its plausable at least.

EDIT: Oooh cool I can say ass...yes that is my discovery of the day...no I am not a muppet...:)

hey man guess what...he made a good point. America is also where bungie is based at. mAbye they through a little Partiotism in the game. I dont really think Chicago will have anything to do with the game but your pointless anti-american slander just for the sake of being anti-american is annoying.

Well, I'll give you my argument against that..

1) Multiplayer maps were located in a variety of places.. We didn't go to Zanzibar, did we? Headlong? Elongation? Foundation just happened to be another map designed after Marathon that made sense in "Chicago Industrial Zone".

2) I believe that's the Halo 2 logo... Of course, you could be right. This is just my opinion.

Yes but if Bungie makes a level of Chicago called Foundation, so I don't see why they won't make it apart of Halo 3.

One shot: one kill, zero seconds to live

sadly, this might mean that chicago was one of the first places to be hit, and lies in ruins, or that its the humans last defense.

All of those maps did have to do with places in Halo 2 though. Headlong was an industrial part of New Mombasa, and Elongation toke place on a cargo ship from the first real level of Halo 2. So all of them were at least related to something, while Chicago has nothing to do with any part of the plot in Halo 2, and that is why I think it is in Halo 3.

UKU KUK UKU...
...damn that missing syllable :P

Hmm, Zanzibar isn't too far away from Mombasa (and by 'too far' I'm speaking relatively) Altho I see your point.

If we look at the other maps I do not think that a location in Chicago is too wild to accept. There's a map on board a Covenant Ship in orbit, one in a gas refinery, one on a remote part of Delta Halo. The fact that Africa and the Americas are separated by the Atlantic is as of much consequence as Mombasa and the Pious Inquisitor being separated by however much atmosphere and vacuum.

That was the main point of my topic, the Halo 3 icon was just another supporting idea.

Please people I don't want to turn this into a American and Anti-American debate. I want this thread to actually look good and not be turned into crap, by people who can't stay ontopic and just trash-talk.
