Wow!! That looks awfully familiar. Where is it from?

Battery Park, NYC (very nice photo by the way).
Let's hope DX2 has this many real world landmarks and locations (Antarctica should be more difficult to check in terms of authenticity though ;)).

I think they mentioned they were going to have the Space Needle from Seattle in the game. I think. But the other known locations would be more difficult. Egypt has plenty of world-famous landmarks (Pyramids, Sphynx, Statues of Ramses etc.) but I'm not sure about the city of Cairo itself. And Antarctica and Trier, Germany aren't generally on the landmark map, are they? Perhaps the "secret fifth location" will be recognizable.
And yeah, that's a nice picture, even if you have to turn your head sideways to see it. I've been to NY, but I've never seen Battery Park. I wonder if they got the geography right, or if they just went for the general "feel" I wonder, if you were in the position of the photo, and you looked left, would you see Castle Clinton? Probably not. Still, at least the landmarks are there.

Oh, I thought you fell off a cliff.

Doesn't Trier have the Porta Nigra?
*start Mordor theme here*
