== | ==Setting== | ||
Breakneck is set in | Like its predecessor, Breakneck is set in [[New Mombasa]], in a part of the [[New Mombasa Docks|docks]] known as [[Section 21]], which closely resembles the [[Section 14]] featured in Headlong. The area is lined by buildings on all but one side, which opens up to the sea with a view of the [[Uplift Nature Reserve]] and the city center. The playable area is dominated by a large construction site, with a skyscraper and an elevated road under construction. | ||
New Mombasa | The New Mombasa [[Superintendent]]'s avatar can be seen on many parts of the map. The advertisement for the civilian [[Hog]] still appears on this map, with the billboard retaining its original position on the map, in the left corner of the incomplete building's rear side. The monument that resembles the [[Seventh Column]] near the water has noticeably changed since ''Halo 2''. This is because the symbol is [[Bungie]]'s registered trademark. | ||

The following are locations on the map that are so named on the player's [[heads-up display]] during gameplay: | The following are locations on the map that are so named on the player's [[heads-up display]] during gameplay: | ||

*The placement of the map in New Mombasa appears to be inconsistent with the city's ''Halo 3: ODST'' incarnation. Assuming the locations of the city's landmarks, such as the bridge of the Uplift Reserve, are consistent with ''ODST'', the map should be situated near the southernmost main section of the Reserve. No skyscrapers or streets are present in the area in ''ODST''.<ref>[[:File:Uplift rings.jpg]]</ref> In addition, according to the player's HUD compass, the city center and the Mombasa tether are situated to the south and southwest of the map, respectively. Based on the way the city is presented in ''ODST'', the aforementioned landmarks would be located to the north and northwest of the Uplift Reserve and thus the map's playable area. | *The placement of the map in New Mombasa appears to be inconsistent with the city's ''Halo 3: ODST'' incarnation.
