Mombasa Suite is the third track on Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 2. It is composed of Metropole (0:00-1:29), Broken Gates (1:29-4:16), and Encounter (4:16-6:41).
Metropole (1:29) begins with a flute solo which echoes the melody from The Last Spartan. It is joined by high strings which repeat the melody. A harp joins in before low strings take over for the conclusion, playing a variation of the Halo Theme. Originally composed for and played during opening of the Halo 2 E3 demo, the piece partially plays in the opening cutscene of the level Outskirts. The piece was reorchestrated into Skyline in Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack.
Broken Gates (2:47) is composed of three sections. The first third features light bass and heavy percussive beats. It plays in Outskirts when the Mgalekgolo break through the courtyard gate, hence the name. It also plays near the beginning of Gravemind, when John-117 reaches where Thel 'Vadam was being publicly tortured in High Charity. It transitions into the second section with strings and vocals. The second section features electric guitar and a male vocal. It plays when Avery Johnson boards the Pelican and John-117 enters an alley occupied by Yanme'e and Kig-Yar Snipers. The percussive beats returns to accompany the electric guitar for the third section. It plays in the highway tunnel with the Shadows at the end of the mission. The third section was reorchestrated into Out of Shadow in Halo 3: Original Soundtrack. The third and first sections were reorchestrated into Moon Over Mombasa and Moon Over Mombasa, Pt. 2 in Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack, respectively.
Encounter (2:25) is a percussion version of the second part of Ghosts of Reach. It plays during the "A Day at the Beach" section of Outskirts. A transition of strings and vocals lead into a militaristic percussion with a focus on snare drums. It plays during the opening cutscene of Metropolis.
