Yo guys

Africa is not on installation 05, as pointed out by that thread

i didnt see that there was more to the picture than meets the eye

but whateva, i was just trying to make a thread that was different from all the "norm"

so go back to discussing your forerunners and extra spartans

but rest assured, ill find something interesting to talk about later

Its just a co-incidence they look the same as Africa and Asia.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I can also see the bottom, West side of "Europe"..look directly to the right of the bottom of the HEV..notice the Red Sea..the one that was parted (or seperated via Mega tsunami for those non believers) in Egypt to help the Jews Escape ;-)

Good point. The only reason that I could see the forerunners doing this is that they are actually the forefathers of the human race and were from earth so they created earth-like climate and continents so that the forerunners working on the instalations would feel at home. Maybe a crazy idea, but it does make some sense.

Doesn't that seem like a pretty large coincedence? I mean if you look closely it is identical. I think that bungie would notice something like that.

Probably just another clue Bungie stuck in there saying how Africa is linked to the Halos, in some way

Well it took 2 and a half years to be noticed, maybe bungie didnt notice.

The Halos aren't big enough to recreate the entire continent of Africa. The continent is over 3000 miles (5000 km approx.) wide, nearly half the diameter of a Halo. There's no way a narrow ribbon of metal (Halo) can support something that massive.

You could be right. I just think that since it is so close in appearence that it doesn't look very accidental. but hey I could be wrong. We wont know until H3 comes out.

  • 07.12.2006 7:17 PM PDT

Yes, my name is a typo.

I think they just reused a scene from a old storyline that they gave up on.

The Bring Back Bloodgulch Group have many members looking for more its kind of an unofficial petition to Bungie to bring back Bloodgulch in Reach http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/bx3g/Group/GroupHome.aspx

Yo guys

something ive noticed for a while, but just decided to post this now

so anyway if you notice the cutscene "Helljumpers" youll see chiefs pod over what appears to be Africa:

Africa on Inst. 05

and for those who are skeptical, look at this actual map of Africa:

Here is an actual Map of Africa

I only wanna know one thing: Why make another Africa? Why mimic the structure of Earth right down to a T?

well we know the forerunner chose earth as the ark. Apparently they chose to mimic our continental structures as well. Why would they do this? Who knows.


Maybe we created the forunners and we are the forunners gods but we forget threwout time

Hey remember back then there was Pangae(or however you spell it.) well maybe the Forunners shaped the continents of Earth as well...

He means it probally means nothing. They needed the shapes of land and they thought it would be fun to the the real world on it. It could mean nothing.

To me its obvious, all human-beings originated out of Africa, so its one of those full circle things.

Perhaps this is a visual metaphor for the importance of Africa in the Forerunner history and Halo storyline?

Maybe earth was made by the forerunner too, maybe as a sort of "bomb shelter" for when they blew up the rings!!??

Personally... i'm getting sick of all this speculation... people seeing things that aren't there and what not.... what i want is some cold hard fact from Bungie to talk about.
