Subject: Africa is NOT on Installation 05!

Check out all my theories and creations at HBO!

Or read my fanfic, "Effort Cannot Conquer Faith" -- it won a signed novel from Eric Nylund!

OK, for all you doubters out there, here is an outlined image of the landmasses seen in the picture:

Now, apart from the fact that, like Africa, the upper part of the central continent is roughly shaped like a 7, there is no other resemblance to Earth geography. Nothing else matches up. At all. Not even after hundreds of thousands of years of continental drift occuring on Earth.

Maybe the game designers just needed a landmass to put there, and instead of spending all the time needed to design and texture a whole new continent, they took an already existing image and tweaked it. It's merely a timesaver, sort of like 75% of all college writing assignments: Find something already finished, spend about twenty minutes tweaking it so it's not instantly recognizable and call it good. I think about two thirds of the people on this forum are so starved for Halo 3 info that they're willing to accept anything as a sign.

So, it's probably just a coincidence. Like someone else said, Africa is not a particularly complex landmass, so it's easy to draw something that resembles it, especially when only part of that drawing is seen.



OOhhh OOOH!!! i'm the one that said that lol.... i guess people actually DO listen to what other people are saying!

The Forerunners were extremely advanced they could have built land in the form of Africa. Especially because that Forerunner structure which is possibly the Ark is on Africa, it probably is of some importance. So, I dont think its a coincidence. It makes sense and Bungie is very sneaky sometimes... ; )
