The space elevator is visible throughout all the [[Earth]] levels of the game, first as a thin line on the horizon in [[Outskirts]], then later as a ringed tower in the skyline of [[Metropolis]]. Only at the end of that level is the player offered an unobstructed view of the structure from across the artificial canal. | The space elevator is visible throughout all the [[Earth]] levels of the game, first as a thin line on the horizon in [[Outskirts]], then later as a ringed tower in the skyline of [[Metropolis]].

The New Mombasa Orbital Elevator is also seen in the [[Halo 3: ODST]] trailer, it can be seen when the ODST drop pods come in as the [[Superintendent]] watches. After the slipspace jump by [[Prophet_of_Regret|Regret]], the tower can still clearly be seen but its ring supports are tilted and it is clearly the result of severe damage during the [[First Battle of Mombasa]]. The Elevator seems to be intact, yet unstable after the [http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Slipstream_Space Slipspace] rupture occurred, and may possibly fall during the course of the game. Another clue is in the reference in Halo 3 in which it was stated that the Elevator fell when the city was "glassed", the glassing of the city may be explained further in Halo 3: ODST. Due to recent concept art released by Bungie, it may be possible that the remains of the elevator may be a location the player may visit in-game. | The New Mombasa Orbital Elevator is also seen in the [[Halo 3: ODST]] trailer, it can be seen when the ODST drop pods come in as the [[Superintendent]] watches.
