Parsons said there were 49 oil refineries. He said nothing about Forerunner artifacts or the number 50.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

I stand corrected. Thanks for verifying that, and I guess I didn't hear him right in the interview. Hmmm, I knew I should've checked a map before posting. LoL.

If the battle on earth turns out to be anything like reach. I expect to see the Covenant using their cruisers and frigates to patrol the sky/atmosphere while ground troops begin a drilling operation. That would explain the ground attack on New Mombassa and the Covenant ship hovering over the city at the end of the 2003 E3 trailer.

Also similar to Reach. A snow capped mountain lies in Kenya. Right near the equator. Mount Kenya is the second largest mountain in Africa.

Too much of a coincidence for Covenant to be attacking near the equator near a large mountain. On reach it was the same case with the Forerunner artifact being burried below the mountain.

One of the multiplayer boards shown so far shows ice capped mountains in the background. Possibly the mountain in the background is Mt. Kenya, concealor of the Forerunner artifact.
