I just put two and two together and have found a small pice of information that may be useful in regards to halo 3 recon. Halo 3 recon is surposed to take place in the city of New Mombasa, after the Profit of Regret's carrier ented slipspace with master cheif in hot pursuit in the friget In Amber Clad (halo 2 time). When the two ships left, the covenent carrier made a slipspace jump that I and everyone else thought had destroyed the city of New Mombasa. Halo 3's campagin surported this theory. Many times throught the campagin on earth, you see the city of New Mombasa in ruins in the backround, not to mention the New Mombasa space lift (the large tower that you can see in halo 2. Made to carry supplies to the orbital defence stations and help to construct non gravity rated ships in space). This is thousands of kilometers high and scattered across the enviroment of halo 3. I never thought anything alse about it, untill I heared that the new halo game (recon) was to take place in New Mombasa after the cheif and the profit of regret was surposed to have left for delta halo. But when you watch the clip that Bungie has relised on the campagin recon the city is perfectly fine and isn"t damaged at all. So whats going on? I have came up with two explainations 1: Bungie has made a mistake (which they would not have done) or 2: The city was not destroyed in halo 2 but some time in between halo 3 recon and halo 3. This would mean that halo 3 recon is going to have an epic battle that will destroy the city of New Mombosa bringing to the end of the game halo recon. Also if you look closely at the video on New Mombasa getting swamped by the slipspace energy you never see anything blowing up or falling down. I just want people to comment on this and hear their views.
