    I am asking this to all the people on ForgeHub that have the Mythic maps, do you know of any screenshots of Earth from Orbital. I just wanna see what it looks like. Earth from Orbit in Halo 3.

    Thanks

    So far I've only seen this one

    Orbital isn't really high, like high enough to see a nice planet ball outside. Its in a geostationary orbit, so Earth still looks pretty big. Its the Quito Space Tether so expect to see a large chunk of South America and a load of sea.

    Here's another

    I didn't really notice a ton of windows outside, but most of the time I'm concentrating on the game, not the windows. I'll check when I get home. It is a really nice view though, especially when you get through the window (huge pain).

    Because Orbital is mounted on the tether of a space elevator (even though the African space elevator lays in pieces in the mission Tsavo Highway), you only see the same pics of Africa. Still absolutely stunning though. Are the continents in different places/shapes compared to today? It is 544 years in the future...

    land mass wouldnt move too much in 500 years. maybe a few hundred yards, nothing noticable from space.
    but yeah the detail of that view does look pretty amazing.

    Um... You wasted your time posting this. We aren't impatient we are just excited so lose the attitude. Your post didn't even have anything to do with the topic.

    I myself am very please with the scenery on Orbital. I can't wait to get a view In-game.
