ARBITER, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!! WORT WORT WORT.
If you're referring to the hunt for TUE, the ultimate egg, OP, the "trigate" isn't anything more than texture.
As for the thread, our search for TUE. It was deleted one silent night when a mod's account was hacked. The search never really came back.. we tried to start new threads about it but the mods were locking them down and blacklisting us for it. We eventually banded into a 25 man group and pretty much no progress has been made now that we don't have the pressure or the spine of the Halo 2 community behind us.
TUE's existence is neither confirmed nor denied by Bungie. Given all of the evidence lingering around out there, I'd say there's at least a 70% chance it's there somewhere. Nothing was proven.
A problem that may have come into play, I never had the time to find out, is that things were changed as updates and map packs were handed out, as in changes in skull effects. If a piece of the coding was changed that was needed for activating or finding TUE, then it didn't happen by everybody from HIH and here because everybody had the mappacks at the least. The problem regarding me, is that I never did get any of that, so my findings from the other egg hunters were different, like on the Black Eye skull. For me, every time I pick it up, it's a switch, it either turns off the snow or on. With the first update, I noticed that picking up the skull isn't acting like a switch anymore... it's random. Why the change? I have no idea. But that may have been enough to cause a bigger problem for the search.
Having found that, I erased all of the game content on my xbox and started over, re-creating skull profiles between full time college and full time work. I haven't done much since I made enough profiles to get me by. I don't know what else was changed... but I prefer to think of it as I'm the only hope for finding TUE.
