In Halo 3: ODST, the Space elevator's base is located on a small island instead of the center of the city in Halo 2. It's general appearance has also been changed. | In Halo 3: ODST, the Space elevator's base is located on a small island instead of the center of the city in Halo 2.

The New Mombasa Orbital Elevator is also seen in the [[Halo 3: ODST]] trailer. 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]]. It has been speculated that the tether 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. | The New Mombasa Orbital Elevator is also seen in the [[Halo 3: ODST]] trailer.

Yet another possiblity is that the higher portions of the tower had already collapsed into the savannah. | ||
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. Visiting it may be hard as, due to concept and released screenshots, it may be located in the water, only accessible by Mag-Lev lines, which may have been destroyed by the EMP blast and the fact that the Mag-Lev train has been destroyed by the Covenant during their [[First Battle of Earth |initial attack]]. | 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.

However, as seen in the actual game, the elevator is already a burning wreckage during the day, two hours after the slipspace event. Also, in the opening cinematic the tether can clearly be seen bending uncontrollably as the shockwave from the slipspace rupture hits it. Therefore it's unlikely it will be seen intact in-game. | However, as seen in the actual game, the elevator is already a burning wreckage during the day, two hours after the slipspace event.
