Subject: Spht language in Halo 2.

Dude, it would be so cool if we had these pregnant sentinels that were, like, all flaming and shot out baby flaming sentinels that would be all "YARRRGH!" then they'd be like, "WHAAAAR" when they shoot.

That'd be sweet.

On the beginning menu of Halo 2, there are several symbols scrolling in the backround.
To anyone who has played Marathon 2, one of the symbol lines is of spht orientation.
I think it actually means something.
If anyone has ALOT of free time, and list the entire line of symbols then put a pic of it on the net, we may be able to decypher it.

I'll look over the Spht terminals from M2, and see what symbols stand for what words, then compare the results with the Halo 2 symbols and hopefully get a message.

I noticed that but I have not had a chance to look too closely at the symbols yet. If I could take a screen shot of them it would help me a lot.

Me too.
Maybe we should just ask bungie if it means anything.
If yes or maybe, it will get lots more attention.

So whos up for actually doing that?

Not it!

I'll post the question in the what's update topic. Mabey someone should PM a bungie employee.

Does anyone have a link to the chart that shows what spht sybols are what words/letters or a copy of the fonts for windows?

I have a program where it can record whatever VCR, console, computer, TV, whatever it's hooked up to, onto my computer and burn it to a DVD. If I can record the Halo 2 menu screen, with my trusty S'Pht font, I may be able to decipher what it says.

I'll need a copy of Halo 2, and an XBox. Anyone who wants the S'Pht font can get it at http://source.bungie.org/_contentcreation/content_creation_re sources/artwork/other_artwork/Stefan_Stadlberger/Stefan_Stadl berger.html

Anyone who can get a hold of the program may be able to decipher it. The program I'm using is called PixeDV, for a G4 Mac.

Theres lots of S'pht-type writing on the forunner areas in halo2 as well. Some very obvious too. Will try and get some screenshots sometime. Also, behind the loading menu... that wierd wheely thing... That symbol (but not moving) is on some doors in M2.
