In Response To: Re: NO WAI! (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))


: Huh? I thought that skyscraper like damaged thing was the Covenant cruiser
: taken from orbit. We see the wreck at the same moment as we hear Cortana
: say about the Covenant ship, "It took two in the nose and dropped
: into the atmosphere." I never thought it was a building in Mombasa.
: I'll have to look again.

Yeah, it's a huge, multi-leveled arcology. You can see the edges of skyscrapers in the silhouette, and if you look close during the demo, you can also see parts of the city that are above and below you. Also, there's a storyboard in the Art of Halo talking about landing on one of the city's "upper plates". And... I'm pretty sure that during one of the documentaries (can't remember which one) one of the level designers talks about switching from the "arcology" concept to more of a smaller-scale city.

An arcology, btw, is a single, self-contained megastructure that houses hundreds of thousands of people.
