But when it says Lumumba.0624 in the bottom right hand corner, you can see:
<evacuate>
CITY
OF
NEW
MOMBASA
at the top.
I think the different places that are shown (Tanaga, Lumumba, Mbaraki) are different parts of New Mombasa, and the number with them is simply their ID number of sorts.
2552 happens to be the number of Mbaraki, where those drop things appear. Coincidence? Maybe.
EDIT: It also says City of New Mombasa under the Superintendent icon when he's rebooting.

Personally, I'm thrilled that they're doing a substantial expansion/episodic content add-on for the game. 'bout time MS jumped into this.

Not only does it explain nothing, but it's got nothing to get excited for. It'd be like a Star Wars teaser with no light sabers, no action, no darth vader breathing and no John Williams music. I can't say I'm terribly surprised Microsoft decided not to show this at E3. It doesn't matter if "that's how Bungie does things" -- it's a bad teaser. Especially since it's just for more Halo.

I think it's a single-player expansion, putting you in the shoes of the mop-up party ODST marines to cleanse New Mombasa, right after Master Chief has hitched a ride on the hyperspace jump from the Covenant ship that departed in the middle of New Mombasa. can't recall the mission or ship name.
It's obvious that the explosion is caused by the hyperspace jump (same light intensity, city, height, etc), as it was in Halo 3. The City-AI (superintendent?) was offline after the blast, went online again and saw one more ODST landing (you?).
You will be cleaning up the streets and kicking the Covenant out, ODST-style once and for all. RECLAIM NEW MOMBASA FOR THE HUMAN RACE!

It's new mombasa, but watch after the explosion, the tether is still standing. So it's not the slipspace explosion. This is taking place before the events of Halo 3, possibly before Halo 2. Is this the opening salvo on earth?
If this is going back to Halo 2 days, we get to see elites again.
More and more this is looking like a campaign expansion, i just want to see how it changes.

I wouldn't be surprised if MS and Bungie fought over something simple like what to name it.
Bungie wanted to a spin off. But MS felt they could still sell more copies of Halo3 so they wanted to call it a Halo3 expansion. And thus we don't get the official name of the game yet but Halo3 is flashed in front of us in 2 different fonts so that we know it's a Halo3 game.
Also they didn't want to confuse the market with the in development Halo4 which is the real sequel.

Ugh. A 2D XBLA Mario clone would have been better than MORE Halo. Who even likes Halo anyway??
We've put up some grabs of the trailer: http://www.gamereactor.eu/text.php?id=177
Don't really know what to make of it... hopefully there will be more news soon.

You mean where Halo 3 was released a month ahead of expectations and the first Halo was basically built in 9 months?
Bungie delayed Halo 2 heavily, but 2/3 games out of MS have come out on time.
I also doubt we'll be seeing it this year, but I think an early spring date would be totally feasible.

why do you say that? the new skull achievements? The mythic maps (which could be part of the "episode"
Well let's see, it's vague, it's filled with tiny little hints, and it gives people a lot to think about. Sounds like a good teaser to me.SuperPac said:
Besides, it was figured out long ago that SI was connected with Halo. It's nobody's fault but your own that you came into the trailer with ignorant expectations.

Falagard, I agree with everything you said. All of it. Queue the Firefly doods.
Also, if Section One is involved, you can be sure that their mission is more than just mopping up the Covenant forces that remain. They're either looking for the Ark's gateway portal based on intel captured from Regret's fleet -OR- they're the squad which grabs the Chief on the way back down to Earth -OR- maybe both. I'm assuming with Cocop that the space tether falls at some point during the game, possibly as a set piece, since we know that it has fallen by the start of Halo 3 directly due to the slipspace jump Regret made.

No, as I stated before, because one of the Skulls is on the map "Assembly". Which we already know about.

They will also somehow link the crashed up cars to Diana.
Chinner said:
Im telling you guys, the achievements have nithing to do with it. Assembly has already been confirmed as a MP map.... and there is an achievement for finding the skull on assembly.
There is achievements for MP based activities on the MYTHIC maps, aswell as an achievement for finding all skulls on the Mythic maps.
The achievements ARE NOT FOR THIS TEASER.
