Well, Africa does have a lot of jungles, neh?  C'mon, the Covenant are pretty much taking over Earth, so a full frontal attack won't end that well.  The only option is to sneak in the heart of the invasion stealthily back going through the jungle.

Also, jungles border savannas, so that sets up perfectly for coming upon the Forerunner artifact somewhere in Africa.

The United Nations Marine Corps is using a version of a famous Russian strategy.

Russian strategy: Engage the enemy, draw them into your territory, and wait for winter to set in.

UNMC strategy: Engage the Covenant, draw them into the jungle, and wait for the malaria to set in.

I'm sure that they are also using the Vietcong tactic of laying minefields in every conceivable location.

Lethe:

Then you should be pretty happy with the game; it's a lot of fun.
Even if a squad of marines out of dozens of units on a battle field has shoulder pads .25" too thick for a fanboy's tastes :)

Inspires confidence, no?

minefeilds yay. but the grunts will just blow to peices. lol

Frog blast the vent core!

Umm maby he's in a jungle because thats where he crash landed then he'll need to fight his way out of it and then get to a UNSC base and get airlifted to the ARK...

Actually, the Grunts are killed off with sniper fire. The Methane bladders in their rebreathers are harvested and used in the creation of more explosives.

I think the reason you've never been in a jungle is because bungie haven't had enough time to make an entire jungle or the specs couldn't handle a realistic looking one, there's a good pic of MC inside of a jungle, and the spartans have fought in jungles before, on sigma octanus atleast

It'll be very interesting to fight in a jungle..it'll seem alot more like gorrila warfare, and he most likely just landed in the jungle, because from what i've heard those pics are of the first level that they showed to the press, so that supports him landing in the jungle and simply fighting his way out to marine forces..

If the first level isn't inside the Forerunner ship, then Bungie should at least have cutscenes showing how the Chief gets out.  Or maybe the new Comic will reveal that.

The new comic will reveal what happened inbetween halo2 and 3.

I seriously hope they switch the jungle with a space level, because both halo1&2 had space levels as their first level, and i think they should keep the tradition.

i think that it is more random fluke than tradition.. but you never know
