In Response To: Check this out (Quantum) : Geoff Chang did some nice work with Google Earth already. : It's not exactly between Mombassa and Kilimanjaro, and it's only sort of near
: http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=709467 As much as I like Geoff's work and admire its thoroughness and polish, there's one big problem: for New Mombasa to be visible from Geoff's Artifact, it would have to stretch several hundred miles across Kenya and into Tanzania. We've seen New Mombasa from orbit (In the cutscene at the end of Cairo Station) and while it's big, it's not THAT big. Also look closely at his Artifact location; there's a low mountain range in between his Artifact and New Mombasa that is absent from the trailer and would surely obscure any view of the city. One final note: a collapsing space elevator would spread out to the east of its lowermost anchorpoint (due to the rotation of the earth). Geoff's Artifact is grid west of Mombasa...that is, west in relation to the lines on a projected map. TRUE west--that is, west in relation to the rotation of the earth, which is what's important here--takes a more northwesterly direction. And that's right where Voi is...westnorthwest of Mombasa. |
