i have a revolutionary idea... maybe halo 3 is gonna be in africa...

HALO 2 WAS IN AFRICA SECOND AND THIRD LEVELS. IT WAS AN IMPORTANT PLOT POINT.

THE GODDAMN PREVIEW IS BASED IN AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your a complete retard. For all you know Halo 3 mainly takes place in Cuba, so just stop spamming this guys thread with your nonsense.

Well if you read my post I said that the beginning will take place in Chicago then later Master Chief will make his way back to New Mombasa. The whole game will not just take place in one area, just like the other two Halo games didn't. Now please just post things that are actually constructive and not in all Caps.

America Rocks USA! USA! USA! but the reason foundation is in Chacago is because when the chief gets back the fight is spread all over the Earth Except Canada I mean after the war of North America no life could sastain the harsh nuclear winters after the US Nuked their A$$!!

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

Eddie stop flaming. You are losing respect and credibility. Just explain yourself.

And you guys are all wrong, if it does start where it left off it will start in space, right where the forerunner ship exited slip space.

I imagine that they will have to circle the planet making scans trying to figure out what they are looking for first anyhow. I mean if it was already in the ships systems, they never would have had to go looking for any of the Halos anyhow.

Just my two cents anyhow.

As for when they get to the planet, I dont care where it takes place, its on earth, it seems like everyone has united and there really isnt much of a contental divide in the future anyhow. So why argue about logistics anyways.

Here is Eddie Metal Head's Signiture:

HALO 3 SUGGESTION RULES:
1. They should not bring back the halo 1 pistol. It is unbalanced and completely unrealistic.
2. Halo 3 will NOT have any more than 32 players in multiplayer. any more would cause what i like to call massive lag or high latency.
3. As unfortunate as it is, the Halo games do not follow the books. There will be NO new spartans.


I agree with all but number 3, you have NO information to back that up. If you do, please PM me a link to it. Thats all! Thank ya!

I know it will continue from the forerunner ship, like I said if you read my first post more carefully. But, I think they will only show Master Chief on the ship in a cutscene, and the first real level will take place on Earth, in Chicago.

I don't think anything will take place near the T.A.R.D. Station. Besides, how does Cheif start in Chicago then go to New Mombasa on the ship with Truth? I mean, did he say "Hold on a moment. I forgot someting in Chicago." Then come back and resume whatever was happening on the ship? Doubt it.

Maybe the ship crashes in Chicago.

Personally, I just think that Bungie just set Foundation in Chicago becasue that is where they were based before the Microsoft buyout. However, I'd love to play in the Windy City; the weather there in October could mean some cool eye-candy in game form ;)

Yeah, it could have crashed..... I dunno.. maybe Master Chief is losing the fight on the ship, so takes an evac pod, or mini-ship type device and lands in Chicago?

Doesn't the Covenant have very advanced tracking systems? So I think they would be led right to the Ark.....and how can they "accidentally" land in Chicago if their destination is Africa? Unless.....
unless global warming has caused continental shifting.


LOL! But you do make a good point. If the Chief does go to Chicago, it will probably be mission alon the lines of securing the weapons at that testing station, or something less lame that my feeble mind can come up with.

Also, in a recent Bungie Update there was a 'Demo' of Halo 3 gameplay with Mister Chief, but in the back it showed a wall with posters on it that are also on Foundation.


Those posters are in other multiplayer levels and campaign as well. But an interesting find...

Well as it says in the Foundation description that "Deep in Chicago Industrial Zone 08 lies the decommissioned Tactical Autonomous Robotic Defense System testing facility" that could have shot down the ship.
