Talk:Second Battle of Mombasa

That other page was deleted awfully fast...we should've merged some stuff! =D -- The State^{(Our Decrees and Law)(The State Alchemists we've enlisted)}File:ROY!.jpg 14:55, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

BTW! do we know if the battle has been won yet? -- The State^{(Our Decrees and Law)(The State Alchemists we've enlisted)}File:ROY!.jpg 18:00, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

thanks. I wrote the other one, but it was redirected to Battle of Mombasa, which had none of this stuff in it. But this is way better than my newbie writeup. And the battle was definitely won, thanks to the Chief - we just haven't been told how or why yet. Maybe the Elite come riding in on winged horses, raining death from above!!!

• Is anyone else bothered by the fact that this battle can't possibly have happened? If we ignore the Halo 3 promo stuff's dubious level of canonicity, what about the fact that Mombasa was utterly wiped out when Regret's Carrier jumped, and that as soon as the Covenant returned, they began digging where the city once stood.

Its annoying me as well, i've been meanning to put 'canonicty in doubt' tag on all believe articles. Its possible that the battle took place during the time of the comics. And also, the portal site is no where near Mombasa. Its outside of Voi, under the Tsavo River/lake. --Ajax 013 20:49, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

It should be noted that the battle of vio could be part of the Second Battle of Mombasa just like the battle of Normandy is part of the battle of France in WW2--MCDBBlits 05:01, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

It was only a loose comparison and don't delete someone post because you don't under stand it--MCDBBlits 21:35, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm, probs wasn't focusing too much on peoples poor theories that day, i msut of thought it was on the page xD.

However, your analogy makes no sense.

Normandy is a region in the country of France.

Voi and Mombasa are two cities in the country of Kenya.

I'll admit it's a bad example but the point is that just because it's called the Second Battle of Mombasa does not mean it could not be the umbrella that all combat in East Africa falls under--MCDBBlits 03:22, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Uprising

Does anyone think that this battle may be included, in some fashion, in the Uprisisng comics, maybe in issue 3 or 4? A Monument to All Your Sins 13:08, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Just out of spite

maybe it not Master chief and an other Spartan II Yeah it a theory but at least it something --KDP3 02:39, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Only the photographer said Spartan 117... But... he could have just presumed it was as chief was on earth shortly before... Could be one of the other guys or even Grey Team.

Also... Master Chief could also have been a misunderstanding by Jake Courage... Or... maybe one of the other SPARTAN IIs made it to this rank... And... if the second class WAS a Class of SPARTAN IIs instead of IIIs (wchich is what SPARTAN II pages say)... huh? possible.Forerunner 17:29, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd say that it's entirely possible that the Spartan here isn't John-117 but a Spartan who has the same rank and that the battle actually took place in or around Voi or quite possibly in another region of Kenya.

I'd also be inclined to say that this issue may never be resolved. Nohomers48 09:07, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Dead chief

The infobox pic shows a dead Master chief holded by a brute chieftain. I suggest it to change it with something else.

• He's not dead in that picture. FishType1 11:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Keep it clean

Since the trailer is taking place in Mombasa during the first and second battle of Earth so the possibility of this battle happening increasing for me--66.229.17.181 16:38, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

• Yeah, perhaps Halo 3: Recon will expand this battle.--The All-knowing Sith'ari 15:48, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
