so im new here - but ive noticed some interesting text in halo 2 , that may lead to some cool stuff. or they may just be easter eggs-in any case im not lazy enough to decipher what it all means. so let's see if you guys see what im seeing. when you're logged on to xbox live on halo 2- in optimatch when you are starting a game and it's going through it's 'steps' and you see the picture of the guys sniping , and the players on the couch, etc...in the background there's some scrolling text. now it typically looks like mumbo jumbo, but if you look 3/4 of the way down towards the bottom of the screen. there's a scrolling text that has hidden messages. the most i've been able to decipher, is "...is the greatest designer..." it's very difficult to read because 1)it's not normal alphabet, and 2) it's scrolling left to right, very quickly. so if anyone has no life whatsoever how bout enlightening us?i did a search for this and did'nt find any thing on it, so sorry if i am reposting!

Yeah, a friend of mine just decoded it a while ago, talks about some guy being the best User Interface designer and that all his stuff is awesome - I forget the actual words... And of course, as it turns out, the guy's name in that text is the UI designer for Halo2 - David Candland. Plus, if you notice, in the Settings menu, there's a line of dots about 3/4 of the way down... a variant of morse code perhaps?
I'm thinking David got his part of the project done waaaay before the rest of the guys, and so decided to have a little fun, lol.

Theres actually a hidden message in Battle Creek/Beaver Creek whatever they renamed it to. It's extremly hard for me to explain this but I'll give it a shot. ACROSS from the rocket launcher on the ledge where you can snipe from theres 3 boulders on the cliff, smack them down. To the right of the boulders to just knocked off the cliff look at the wall very closley, there is an ILLUSION its NOT part of the wall. It says "Why am I here?" I don't know if this means anything or not but why would it be there? If you guys can't find it I can show it you on Xbox Live, my gamertag is XxInuyashaxX im usually on later in the day, send me a friends request with a message attached so I know why your sending me one. Also on Headlong inside the base on the yellow wall it says "part of the solution" and a hippo's head on the wall, don't know if that means anything eather but I think Bungie has something up their sleeve.

Dude, that message you found in headlong might have something to do with the puzzle with all the skulls! There was speculation that the last skull was called whoopopotumus or something like that, get it? Hippopotomus... I dont know... Part of the Solution? sounds... wierd...

Yeah, I saw that. It's kind of hard to miss, really. But I can't make anything of it... I'm not one of the skull-searcher types, though, so I'll leave that to other people to do.

I did look around the map, trying to find other stuff... But I haven't yet been able to find anything significant.

Not all of them have been found so it's hard to say. Theres also a message in Coagullation. Go inside the cavern with the water inside. Walk one path that overlooks the water in the cavern (to the left of the ramp that goes in, hard for me to explain). Anyway, go to very edge but don't drop into the water. On the left of the wall there it should say "Not Sid Was Here" or something.

Buncha typos. But I gotta do other stuff so I won't fix.
