Second Battle of Mombasa: Difference between revisions

The Second Battle of Mombasa was portrayed in the ''[[Believe]]'' advertising campaign created by [[Microsoft Studios]] to promote ''Halo 3''. The game and subsequent media establish that John-117 never returned to Mombasa; instead, the distant city of [[Voi]] (around 140 kilometers northwest) serves as the primary battleground for control of [[the Portal]]. The fate of New Mombasa as depicted in the diorama was also later contradicted: ''Halo 3: ODST'' reveals that the city sustained rather minor damage during Regret's escape and was glassed hours later, and that a protracted battle never occurred in the city's ruins. However, the [[Museum of Humanity]] has since been canonized in the ''[[Halo: Reach Limited Edition|Limited]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|Legendary Editions]]'' of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. This may imply that the Second Battle of Mombasa was made as a coverup story by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to hide the discovy of the [[Portal at Voi]], and consecutive [[Battle of Installation 00]] from the civilians.
