During the [[Covenant]]’s [[Battle for Earth|first assault]] on Earth and the occupation which would follow, [[Old Mombasa]] became a key engagement point for UNSC forces seeking to prevent the Covenant from establishing what they initially believed to be an invasion beachhead on the planet. Recreated in the [[War Games]] environment to train Spartans for urban warfare, District is a near-perfect simulation of the terrain as of [[2552#October|October 20]], [[2552]].<ref name="mombasa waypoint"/> | |||
This map was inspired by the "starting areas in the outskirts of [[New Mombasa]] in the single-player campaign". District is basically an amalgam of [[Turf]], [[Terminal (level)|Terminal]], and [[Outskirts]]. | This map was inspired by the "starting areas in the outskirts of [[New Mombasa]] in the single-player campaign".

*To get out of the boundaries of District, get a Scorpion and move it into the destroyed tunnel near the parking garage. Make sure the tips of the [[M808B Scorpion|Scorpion]] are below the hole in the ceiling of the tunnel. Then, climb on the Scorpion and position yourself right below the ceiling hole. Jump, and then press crouch at the height of your jump. You should be able to pass over the invisible wall and then continue forward. Get another player and you can run along the rooftops of District by sword canceling or butterflying from the ledge of the end of the tunnel. If you fall down from the ledge, you can always [[Type-1 energy sword|Sword]] cancel upwards onto the ledge or roof if someone is standing on the ledge. | *To get out of the boundaries of District, get a Scorpion and move it into the destroyed tunnel near the parking garage.
