The architecture of the city is different depending on the location. Old Mombasa's architecture was an odd hodgepodge of old and new: 16th-century Muslim arcades, aging 21st-century office buildings, looming 26th-century power couplings, old concrete homes secured with computerized locks. Clotheslines strung next to power lines, and mechanical gates set into ancient brick walls.{{Ref/Reuse|halo2}}{{Ref/Reuse|ani}} In some areas, newer skyscrapers had found their home.{{Ref/Reuse|coastal}}{{Ref/Map|Id=breakneck|[[Halo: Reach]]|[[Breakneck]]}} | The architecture of the city is different depending on the location.

Save for the very final cutscene, every level of ''Halo 3: ODST''{{'}}s [[campaign]] and every map in [[Firefight]] take place in Mombasa. Most prominently, the levels and maps are set in the [[New Mombasa city center]]. ''[[Mombasa Streets]]'' allow players to explore several sectors of the city center. The placement of some landmarks, like the Orbital elevator is different than what is seen in ''Halo 2''. | Save for the very final cutscene, every level of ''Halo 3: ODST''{{'}}s [[campaign]] and every map in [[Firefight]] take place in Mombasa.

The Mombasa area was first seen during the [[Halo 2 E3 demo]] where it was significantly different than designs of the city seen in released media. In the demo, the city was a large tree like structure stretching into the sky. This structure was removed for the final game where the designers wanted the city to feel more real. They then based it more on the actual city using photographs to help imagine what it would look like 500 years into the future.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0yjEi4YnDM|Site=Youtube|Page=First Look Halo 2}} | The Mombasa area was first seen during the [[Halo 2 E3 demo]] where it was significantly different than designs of the city seen in released media.
