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.

The only way I see my theory happening is if the Covenant ship crashes in Chicago, or if Master Chief just escapes the ship and lands in Chicago, for some reason if he is overwelmed.

Dude, dont ever write in leet. That served no purpose to you argument in any way. Im guessing your Austrailian from your reference to Sydey. Listen, bungie got started in Chicago, they have every right to put it into their game, even though I wouldn't count on it. Your not making the game so id shut up if i where you. I f you guys whant a major game to take place in Austraila or Oceania in general, why dont you guy get of your asses and make one and quit complaining about how america gets all the fame. Its your own fault, because apparently you all just sit around and critize american works like these instead of trying to make your own that you can be proud of.

Hmmm good point about the autonomous robot defense facility shooting the ship down apert from one tiny word; DECOMMISIONED. That means that the facility is no longer in use.

According to the books, the human high defense commity thing that is tasked with the defense of earth is about 1-3km under SYDNEY so chief could go looking for suvivors/ what happened; how did earth fall etc

I believe Merc is right, Foundation was the only one to be released after you beat the game, thus making the map special. I applaude Merc for his thinking.

When I was looking at the Halo 3 symbols at foundation, I realized that there are more then just one H3 symbol. If look on the metal and there are like gazillion.

  • 06.25.2006 10:12 PM PDT

Might be a stupid question, but what makes those symbols H3? I can see them, but I don't see a big 3 in the middle or anything. Please explain.

Make the suburbs part of the level too, so I can visit my house.

Thinking of something witty to write here since 2004...

Actually Sydney 2552 would be a pretty cool place. Already is.

I don't think it will be in Chicago, because Foundation was just put in as throwback to Marathon, I believe. Just like Gemini is a remake of an old Marathon level.

I respect you're patriatism but be easy on the man, anyway it seems that more people in America sit on there asses than Astralians so don't tell us to get off our asses and by the way you may have a big ass military force but our Astralian troops are trained better and we don't waste our bullets like use do. I don't see why they shouldn't have a level in Australia, this is a forum for free talk of Halo3 so don't tell people to shut up if you dissagree with them and argue as a civilized person would.
