Squad based Spartans in a huge city would be pretty sweet. If they are able to pull that off using a game that is already out that is pretty freaking innovative. I can't wait to know what is really happening. | |

Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Atlanta, GA Age: 32 | So I am a Halo cannon noob  . I have the books but haven't had the chance to read through them all yet. I thought those were the pods the Spartans were dropped in, but ODSTs are something else. So we MIGHT have a Halo 3 based squad game out this Fall along with with Gears 2. That would rock  | |

Also, New Mombassa was destroyed by Truth's Slip Space Jump in Halo 2, so I'm thinking that this is that from a different angle. | |

Maybe ODST's in squads, who meet up with a low-level maintenance AI (hence the plumber, keeping it clean) and try to bring the city's primary AI back on line and retake control of New Mombassa in the meantime.
When they jumped out did they leave Covenant forces behind? If not, what would be there to fight?
Or is this the beginning of the fight for New Mombassa under that same scenario, that will eventually end in the destruction of the city when Truth jumps? In H2 we kinda jump in in the middle of the fight for it, right? | |

NM was intact until Truth jumps his ship out. At the 11-12 second mark in the trailer you can see Truth's ship moving behind the buildings. Then it jumps as ODSTs are dropping in. 
I think that may be it, a tactical squad based came as a companion to Halo 3. | |
