UPDATE: Defnop552 has confirmed he has fixed his dick.

Its been over a year since the other giant thread started. I think bungie would atleast give you a hint by now if you were close to anything.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly are you supposed to do after collecting the skulls in a certain order? I am collecting them in the order that the video says, and am about half way there. What do I do after?

Nooooo, nothing happens from that. Don't follow the video, the guy who made it didn't know that some of his info is false. The box thing he presses is a PLACEHOLDER and has nothing more to do with this thread. Don't waste your time getting the skulls in that order. But if you would like to help, you can search around levels and if anything interesting turns up just fill us in.

We should wait for Sonic to do that one. He's good at that kind of stuff lol. I wish he knew what was going on right now. Ugh. What a mess. I'm glad that you and everyone else is staying though monkey. Makes the going easier till we get this thing back up in its prime again. And, tomorrow i've got a bunch of things i'm going to post. So be ready everyone.

ok. well, if the flak cannon ISNT the fuelrod, then what is it? wait. maybe its the SMG? has anyone who reads hex ever found the word SMG or Sub Machine Gun? we should look. maybe thats it.

  • 07.09.2007 5:04 PM PDT

Well, we know that the EGAT combo is a clue to a puzzle of sorts. We can work from there for now. And that getting all the skulls won't get something magical to happen. And that JNAMSFTFY is also not used, but part of the leftover slop that didn't get cleaned up in the last few minutes because of the tight schedule Microsoft gave Bungie. Also, I'm going to assume that the "That's just... wrong" is the final thing that happened with the original JNAM plan that was not used.

Here's my link where I found the useful knowledge.. http://bs.bungie.org/mtarchives/cat_general.html

No in the meta is said that it held 25 rounds, max 30, but the zoom levels were 2min and 2 max
So im pretty sure thats its the fuel rod, not positive though, I'll test it out and make sure

ok guys. i've thought of this before, but i'll post it now. thanx to Rhudebaker, i found the acrynym list that intrigues me. ok, when you go to the link that Rhudebaker provived, go down to where it starts to say the halo acrynyms. the third from the bottom is an acronym for Metropolis. now, this is what it says for you lazy people. **IOHBOY Halo 2 In-game map (Metropolis)** now, im not sure if this has to do with the theory that im working on right now that deals with outskirts/metropolis, but im going to look into it.

Yeah me too.

Im glad to see that all of the more important people are coming back rather than having noobs take over. Lets hope either bungie can restore the old one or Sonicjohn makes a new one. (btw) the link for the flak cannon is irrelevant.

Hackers piss me off. Well then again I know a trick or two but I use it for good not evil. Anyway... lets get back on track. Now what was the last thing we were discussing? I forgot =/.


The last things I had said were about Max Hobberman's conversation seeming to point towards using the keyboard used for messaging/creating account names in conjunction with skull name SYNONYMS in order to unlock the hidden UI menu. Also, I had posted the contents of the Virtual Keyboard file that stumpy had found. (PM me for results, it was nothing though).

Now do we have any thoughts on why the TUE thread was targeted (and apparantely first)? Someone got rid of it for a reason.

I saw that a good while back, but it isn't really relevant to the search for TUE, so I haven't posted it.

I disagree about the relevance of the phrase "that's just...wrong". You need to look at the entire hex information surrounding it. The skull list is in the middle of texts that appear on screens and in menus, and also by phrases that are spoken by AI's in the game. "that's just... wrong" just happens to be the first thing that follows the skull list.

I'll look through the HEXES, I highly doubt there is anothre gun, it would have been found by now. But, then how do we explain the fire? I'm so lost.....

EDIT: I looked, there are no other weapons.

Edit 2: Scratch that, What's a flak cannon doing on high charity? ...better yet, why does it say theres a flak cannon in this game? Im so confused..


There are a few weapons that it could be: Gauss, bruteshot

I opened the text for the I_ve_got_a_lovely_bunch_of_coconuts file, and it is definitely more complex. However, it only consists of coding. There is no text to read, so I can't help in identifying its purpose. Now, as far as flak cannons go, the gauss is pretty much a flak cannon: it shoots rounds that explode on impact (though a true flak cannon has rounds that explode at certain air pressures or altitudes). This cannon can found in places other than gauss warthogs, too. In Quarantine Zone, if you go through quick enough on legendary when you're in the tank, you'll come to an area that semi-spirals down. If you drive out into the area quickly enough, you'll be hit by an explosive round from a flood-controlled pelican that flies overhead. Can anyone identify if there is a gauss-type turret in high charity?

Actually, one has already been misnamed that we know of (now that I think of it, several). The first one which came to mind was the "Scarab" gun, because when you get the option to pick it up it says "hold 'x' to pick up plasma rifle". The item is named as a plasma rifle, not whatever it actually is. Next, there are the skulls (which are in-game weapons). They are found within the hex under different names, including "Ice Cream". Now, if they wanted to hide a weapon it would be easy, all they would have to do is modify what the weapon actually does, leaving the name itself alone.


Edit: Stumpy, could you redo that cut and paste job with the carbine and put a video of it on YouTube?

So you got the file eh? I have one more META file that pertains the the coconut thing if you want me to send it i can do that. And as for the flak cannon I looked at the number of projectiles and everything and based on that I'm almost positive it's another name for the fuel rod cannon, so i wouldnt worry about it. What i'm worried about is the flaming projectile that I got to shoot out of my carbine. Im so confused. It was meant to be a projectile.
