New Mombasa

By Magus · Oct 25, 2019 · ·




  1. New Mombasa. Do you remember when the world stopped? When the rain, falling in waves, was the only thing left moving in that city. It's always us who are forgotten. The ones they left behind, the ones who didn't carry a rank, or a gun. The ones whose homes became bunkers, whose streets became battlegrounds. The death of the city came long after the final shot was fired. If I close my eyes, I can still hear the dying breaths of Mombasa, a haunting silence heard between drops of rain.

    I'm probably the biggest Halo fan here by a long shot. Of course I remember and love smooth jazz in the rain. A Halo game with an ambiance. A city in ruins from a jump inside. Do you read the book series? I'm quite far in it, and I was hoping another fan might show up on this forum.

    @EFMingo I haven't gotten into the books, but Halo 3 ODST, along with Halo Reach, are my favorite games in the series. Haven't played a halo game in a long time, might be an idea to check the books out.

    Skip The Flood unless you're a Halo 1 superfan, it may be first, but it's just different perspectives on the first game. Fall of Reach and Ghosts of Onyx come after and they're excellent continuations of the series. The best books are probably the Kilo Five Trilogy by Karen Traviss. Those three are necessary to understand what's happening in Halo 4 and after. The Forerunner Trilogy by Greg Bear is some good hard science fiction as well.

    There's some thirty books in the series. I'm on like 21 or 22. Only a couple of busts so far, and only one solid shit book which is New Blood by Matt Forbeck. The rest are pretty spot on worth the time.
