Hello everyone,
Me and a few friends were searching around in Tombstone last night, and came upon some cool things. It all started when I examined the computer monitors in the room under Red Base (with the 3 windows). We searched around, and found this.

-If you look at the higher monitor BEHIND the desk, you see a red circle around the claw of the crane, and in the picture the claw is EXTENDED, as opposed to being "up" as it is in the map.

-The bigger computer screen shows a picture of what seems to be HANG 'EM HIGH with 4 red circles (just like the one on the crane in the other picture) indicating something. If I remeber correctly, one spot is near the end of one of the bridges, 2 are on the catwalk that goes over the river, and one is UNDER the sword platform.

-In the hallway that connects to the room in question, you can see a yellow sign with a lighting bolt (POWER) and a HAND FLICKING A SWITCH, along with an arrow. This same sign can be found in the corner ACROSS the ramp that goes to blue base (on the side with the shelter-thingy, there are some grenades in the corner in question if that helps anything) NOTE: If you stand against this corner, your characters head goes all the way through the wall, does this mean anything?

-Also, there is a number seven carved into the wall near the rocket launcher (the wall adjacent to the Gravity Lift at RED BASE) which could possibly be one of the RED SPOTS on the computer screen mentioned above, because it is right near one of the bridges over the water, as the monitor indicates.

Some pretty cool stuff. Not sure if it means anything, and I'm NOT implying we found how to move the crane, but perhaps this is the beginnings of it. It could just be Bungie f*cuking with us too, who knows! Either way, I thought it was cool enough to share and see what others here think!

Thanks for your time,
-Casey

Sounds pretty cool, let me know how it turns out.

You can't move the crane. They are just there to add to the level. They make it more realistic.

If someone here with a copy of Halo 1 (I need to get a new disk) wants to check out the spots mentioned about in HANG EM HIGH, please do so and send me a message! I'll check it out on the PC version, but I'm not sure if it will be the same.

NEW: The signes mentioned in my original post DISSAPEAR when playing split-screen. Also the newspaper posters on the walls in the room under Red Base and in the "explosive" room (the gaping hole in the ceiling that leads to red base) dissapear as well.

I also noticed that on the poster in the explosive room, there is a picture of one of the bridges over the water, similar to one of the red spots on the computer monitor.

You don't have to worry about that, that happens to me two. In order to increase performance, many decals and textures disappear in split-screen mode. Just go to Headlong and you will see what I mean.
