if you look at the trailer you can see a mountain and speculation said that is mount Kilimanjaro. but that could be later in the game, so they could start off in Chicago but we will all to wait till 2007 to find out!!! so exciting.
Wrong, it has been confirmed that that is Mount Kilimanjaro.

what is it with all these people being total jerkoff's? In Australia in our forums, we don't get people flaming others all the time like people here do.... Grow up for Christ's sake!
Keep your Pro America stuff to yourselves.. I'm trying to be nice about this and don't get me wrong, There's ALOT of Americans who are decent people, but the ones in here who give stupid remarks and flame others for whatever reason REALLY need to learn people manners... but i guess ONLY in America.
Meanwhile since i got that off my chest since it angers me reading it all the time....
We don't know what cities and locations will be in Halo 3, this is all speculation and while everyone is entitled to their opinions on it, it's just that.. speculation, we don't know diddly squat about anything yet and until we DO know... everyone oughta get along and appreciate other peoples opinions,
I feel sorry for the people who give your country, America, a bad reputation

Spanish Flea is right... being American is no great reason to brag. All great empires fall away... whether by corrupted leaders, corrupted morals, or corrupted people. Rome, Greece, Germany, etc.

"There are those who said this day would never come. What are they to say now?" -Prophet of Truth (Halo 2)

Lets not forget, Bungie was originally from Chicago before moving to my stomping grounds in Western Washington State.

I hope the next video that Bungie puts out will have something that I can relate to this theory.

To me, MC's armor looks alot different in the trailer. The color is a prime example..it was green before, no ammount of sunlight will turn dark green into light gold.

So I think that what will happen is, the ark gets to earth..but the Master Chief gets to the control room and makes it crash land somewhere over america. He then uses an escape pod and ..well escapes. While hes trying to figure out what the hell to do now, he gets an order from Dr.Halsey to go to the Foundation testing facility to retrieve a stronger Mjolnir armor that was created from Forerunner tech. that was dug up on a variety of worlds.

After he picks up the Mjolnir armor, he finds out that Truth has been picked up and is currently on his way to africa. Now MasterChief must fight his way to a ship to get him over there ASAP. Once there, he finds out where truth has landed..and..Halo 3 Trailer.

This could explain alot of things if you pick it apart..

Personally i would love to see MC start off fighting deep in Czechoslovakia. I might accept starting in Mother Russia or Zimbabwe, but never Texas because you know who is always behind you in Texas!

chicago does sound like a plausible start for halo 3

to think about it...
why is foundation an unlockable??? dunno
why is it called foundation??? maybe its the foundation (starting area of something) of halo 3
kind of stupid for bungie to put the "h2" logo in the halo 2 game... (it was on silent cartographer where the "H2" statue appeared in halo 1)

halo 1 secret leads halo 2

halo 2 secret leads to halo3


EDIT: this has NOTHING to do with the topic but i wanted to note that on the first cortana letter it says "I have walked on the edges of the abyss" ... that maybe the teaser for halo 3. MC was on the edge of what appears to be the fait of the earth, the arc, the Abyss. now to think about it MC will go in there... while activated... in the trailer there are little dots of light in the opening for the abyss. Alot of the time signifying some thing or alot f it excaping (noting the light bean like something coming out...) I smell a Covenant type game like halo 1

I havent read the whole thin, but here is an idea:

Is Chicago on the direct opposite side of the earth from New Mombossa, ( I havent looked at a map... just a thought)

Thats a good theory, but Bungie will most likely make it something no one will see coming. My theory for right now is only going as far as Master Chief somehow got to Chicago.

Good Point with the H2 logo in Halo CE and now the H3 logo in H2.

Texas was never mentioned. For those of you who never looked at a map, Chicago is Illinois.

Ok, that seals it. That post. Right there. Solid proof. There is no God.

Too bad your thread got hijacked man. You made some good points.

GameJunkieJim is helping me blacklist people in th is thread who are spamming.

I like that idea. I live there. I just hope they don't remodel my corpse for when i am dead, then make me the flood. If that happens, i better at least be able to kill the chief as the flood. Only jokeN. I still like the idea still

Here's an explanation for the MC winding up in Chicago:

As far as we know, the Covenant in Truth's ship don't know the MC is on board. Let's see now. The MC is in an enemy ship containing anywhere from tens to thousands of Covenant, along with the last of the great Prophet Triumvirate. What would you do if those covenant were oblivious to your prescence? You'd play saboteur and try to crash the ship, of course. I'd imagine such a thing wouldn't be beyond the MC's doing. And what if, what if... the ship just happened to crash land near Chicago, which has no doubt grown past its boundaries exponentially with half a millenium to prosper (thus, more of a chance to land in or near it)?

Just a thought.

And who knows? Maybe Chicago contains an important military base in the future? It's on Lake Michigan. That might have offered an incentive to construct a classic navy base (not space warships of course). I doubt it wouldn't have been beyond that base's power to get the MC some new armor either (or even transport him to Africa via Pelican or some other means).

Edit: Of course. Just pure speculation. Nice theory though. I'd give it a 1 out of 4 chance of happening.
