Do I want to be feared or loved? Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.

when you translate the blurred french in the picture it says "please remain calm", that's all i got from the pic so far

EDIT: also, changing the 500341 in the message from base 10 to base 7 gives you the number 4152502, maybe a date for something.

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently.

The SI stuff was to preceed the release of information concerning Bungie's next game based in the Halo universe. The reveal was delayed by Microsoft, who promised to create a dedicated event in the future for revealing the new game.

It is logical to assume that if the Super Intendant has popped up again that we can expect information soon about the new Halo game.

In reviewing the post, I believe the story is that the Super Intendant's core systems have been corrupted. This has left the SI unable to communicate normally. It would appear the SI is attempting to communicate using lower level subsytems. If we think of the SI as an AI in charge of organizing municpal services then the statements themselves appear to be the type messages that he would display on public notices. If we then think of the SI's communications in terms of abstract concepts, rather than direct statements, and we might be able to get a general idea of the warning he's trying to communicate.

hm.. I don't know if it's relevant, but i've just played like 15 games of halo from like 9, and i just checked my career stats and game history and stuff, and none of it is updated. none of em. idk if bungie usually has like a 'lag time' between stats update and the game, or if the website is actually down, or what?

The dawn is coming. a new era is arrising, low be hold but a speck of greatness has been set upon you. The seventh promise will be upheld and the skys will rain tears crying for mercy from the be dreaded hammer! A new greatness will step in to an old relm as a new relm is built upon thou. Thus being patient is the key and keeping the all mighty seven clean...

"Unfortunately for us both, I like crazy."

I think what Lightkun was going for is that the AI may not be able to communicate as normal AIs do, since he is first and foremost a Superintendent program, designed merely to keep the public in order and his sector clean. He may be trying to get a point across to the Marines but has to do it through some sort of code.

Maybe "OBEY POSTED LIMITS" and "YIELD TO UPHILL TRAFFIC" is the reveal that some have speculated on... Bungie is making a Halo Kart racing game!

"Unfortunately for us both, I like crazy."

Hey V3RN6T0R, ARG stands for Alternate Reality Game. Do a google search (or halopedia, or wikipedia for that matter) for "I Love Bees" and you'll get all the info you need.
SI stands for Superintendent, the little green circle dude with the plunger who has been floating around the internet for a while now in reference to Bungie, and who is apparently the AI sending the message to the UNSC Marines in this "intercepted" transmission.
Hope that helps.

Dawn=Bungies next annocement(i.e. next game)

From the transmission, one could infer that a city(metropolitian) is being evacuated(Yield to uphill traffic) while UNSC forces move in to face whatever(sounds like a dog) is attacking said city. Could be the flood, could be some new alien species. The AI needs to upload its logs for the past 24hrs because something important is in them, from how the city was breached to a science experiment gone wrong. Clean could mean anything from a science experiment that must be kept flawless and from any impurities to the data corruption which corruption = unclean

The Urban Infastructure A.I sounds pretty neat, probably runs the traffic, sewers, power grid, to possibly the oxygen if it's a domed city and they're on some sort of colony.

ToykoRules sounds like a call sign like Mavrick or Goose.

If only we had an Economic Infastructure A.I....

SUPERINTENDENT]: “METROPOLITAN EMERGENCY!”
[SUPERINTENDENT]: “METROPOLITAN EMERGENCY!”
[SUPERINTENDENT]: “METROPOLITAN EMERGENCY!”
Possible Translation: The city is experiencing an emergency situation

[SUPERINTENDENT]: “DETOUR! PROCEED WITH CAUTION!”
Possible Translation: Stay away from this location

[SUPERINTENDENT]: “BE A HERO! REPORT VIOLATORS!”
Possible Translation: I'm reporting something important

[SUPERINTENDENT]: “METROPOLITAN EMERGENCY!”
Possible Translation: The city is experiencing an emergency situation

[SUPERINTENDENT]: “PARDON OUR DUST!”
Possible Translation: Something's been destroyed

[SUPERINTENDENT]: “YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK!”
Possible Translation: The local government has been affected

[SUPERINTENDENT]: “KEEP IT CLEAN!”
[SUPERINTENDENT]: “KEEP IT CLEAN!”
[SUPERINTENDENT]: “KEEP IT CLEAN!”
Possible Translation: Bring help.

[SUPERINTENDENT]: “OBEY POSTED LIMITS!”
Possible Translation: Listen to me

[SUPERINTENDENT]: “YIELD TO UPHILL TRAFFIC!”
Possible Translation: Give this issue priority

[SUPERINTENDENT]: “PLEASE REMAIN CALM!”
Possible Translation: I'm losing my -blam!- over this!!

These are just my guesses as to what these things could mean, assuming the SI were attempting to communicate while his higher speach processes are corupted.

...what? You lost me by the last paragraph...@_@

intresting. also if anybody noticed, the rumored assasin armor looks like the hornet pilots in the level the covanate. (spelling ?) also, if they make a halo 4 its going to be called something else, for there are no halo rings left. (or are there?) either way, i think that the hornet pilot armor looks tight. don't believe me? go to the hornet part in the covenate and look for yourself.
ps. cant wait for tu2. will it have gun lowering on xbl or no? if we can ever play as the halo marines and choose what we can look like, that would be fun. but, bungie won't do this. maybe in h4, but thats until a long time.

I think there might be some kind of connection between the Tokyo Rules thingy and the Tokyo Game Show coming in October, just think about it.....would be like a special and a new place to announce a new project, rather that doing it here in the US, besides that could help MS to keep up the good moment the 360 is going through Japan right now.
