Will we be able to run regular missions in this area?

That's weird.  I was just wondering the same thing. O_O

I personally feel its either an extension of an existing district (although there are many places it could be added too) due to what was said about its size or a new district entirely (that may be added to at a later date). 

It wouldnt make sense to have a construct that basically functions like a district.  I thought the constructs were supposed to represent previous version of the simulation?

Hmm...it'd be interesting if it was an archive but able to have missions.

EDIT: It looks like they tried to use every already made building/area that were uncommon or not used in this area. I love the uneven terrain, it's definitely something the rest of the city missed out on. So far, we've mainly seen pics of the area facing the water, I wonder what ends the area on other sides? Also, if this is a construct, that light pole out on the water could be a spawn point. I'm still trying to figure out why that's there.

There's a common misconception with constructs and the "Archives".

A construct simply means any world not connected to the main simulation.  Technically, you could call the Matrix its own construct.

The Archives are named so because they represent previous versions of the Matrix.  They are Constructs, yes, but Constructs themselves don't adhere to that rule.

So technically, this could be a construct.  Hope that cleared it up.

But if it was a construct, why would an Archivist be in there?

Right.  I wasn't saying this was definitely just a construct of some kind.  Who knows, I see a couple ways this could be an Archive.  But don't forget that Archivists have alot of information.  This doesn't necessarily have to be an "Archive", in the sense of a previous version of the Matrix.  It could be something the Machines never finished, etc.

Construct = Any separate world (The Dojo and Jump Programs from M1)
Archive = A construct based on a previous version of the Matrix (Yuki, Sakura, Ashencourte, etc.)

Construct does not necessarily = Archive

The terms should not be used interchangeably.

I said this early on when the Image Retrievals started, but I'm wondering if the Archivist Society has opened up a gateway to this Construct.  In BETA, there were plans for actually entering the City Library and accessing "Restricted Sections" and "The Librarian".  The books in the Restricted Section were powerful keys that were rumored to be gateways to hidden constructs.  I think that would be much more cooler than an Archive.


EDIT: Not suggesting that that's exactly what's going to happen, but if it were simply described as Archivists opening up a gateway, that would be cool.  How will they do it without my poor Hypatia? SMILEY

City Library, I always wanted to enter that thing. Also I always wanted to enter the great museum in Historic ... and the town hall there.

Building wise, what I miss most in the Matrix is ... a Gothic Cathedral at the north end of Center Park. I want a goddamn Cathedral. The little churches that are only present in Richland and Westview are monotone. No religious buildings in international either (e.g. shrines). >_<

Essentially, all archives are constructs (in a sense), but not all constructs are archives.  SMILEY
