]]]]]Mom says: Just play the game already! [[[[[

Yes, I AM your mom

This is an archive of what happened when the PROWLER “TOKYO RULES” responded to a distress call...the Superindentent is not cooperating, and the comm duty officer asks for the human in charge (“Can you put Kinsler on the line?”)

Unintelligible dog growling: FLOOD????!!!!!

He asks for the data from the last 24 hrs ....24 hrs for a Metropolitan wide emergency to wreak havoc...

They apparently give up on Superintendant: "[COMM.DUTY.OFFICER]: “We're sending a team, alright?” [COMM.DUTY.OFFICER]: “Until they arrive, all additional comm needs to route through me.”

What happened to the men on that drop team, were they sent into a city overrun with flood, and run by a damaged, childish, rampant AI???

Are we going to play as one of that team dropped in on Superindentent?

SPOOKY.....

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.
...what? You lost me by the last paragraph...@_@
Imagine an AI that's in charge of making sure the roads stay clean and repaired, the water keeps flowing and the waste gets removed. He organizes the machines that repair the citie's infrastructure. To do this he must communicate with the other government and AI.

Now, imagine that something terrible has happened to his city. Like, an alien ship crash landed near by filled with flood. The crash took out the other AI that were higher in the command chain than him and damaged a large number of the systems that run his processes. Kind of like a person having a stroke, he's no longer able to communicate properly.

However, being the only AI still left functioning at any level, it's up to him to communicate with the military to inform them of what has happened and keep them up to date on what's going on in the city.

He's contacted the UNSC and is attempting to warn them and give them a status update of the conditions in the city, except that he's not able to just come out and have a normal converstation because the parts of his brain that control those functions are damaged or destroyed. Instead, he has to attempt to communicate using systems that are meant to inform the local city population if there's road work being performed or similar activity.

As a result, he can't say, "the city's been mostly destroyed" so instead he uses a lower system that was used to inform commuters when road work was being performed. He says, "Pardon our dust." This was a simple substystem that he previously used to display notices on signs around the city....except now, it's the only communication subsystem that he has functioning.

That's what I was trying to say.

this is dumb.... bungie just probably did this to keep us busy till the 23rd...... Good idea, works very well.

CyberFreak, are you saying that the SI is a cousin of Bumblebee from Tranformers? haha

  • 09.19.2008 9:23 PM PDT

Ok, I understand now but does that mean that in the game, it would look more real than ever or do we use virtual helmets and such and play the game from there? Also, what is this so-called Dawn I keep hearing around the threads anyway?

This isn't about the update scheduled for the 23rd.

The Super Intendant stuff has to do with Bungie's next Halo related game. It's rumored to be a 3rd person, over the shoulder game with grittier graphics in which you play as Marines instead of Master Chief. There are no Halo rings involved so this is not a Halo game, but a game that takes place in the "Halo universe".

Microsoft pledged to have a special event dedicated to revealing the game that Bungie is currently working on that takes place in the Halo universe. If SI has reapeared then a date has most likely been set for this event.

  • 09.19.2008 9:26 PM PDT

I want you to die a slow painful death.

Well about time we get something about bungie's next project!

Hopefully microsoft doesn't do an another bull-blam!- moment like they did at E3 this year! Better not screw me over again gates!

  • 09.19.2008 9:27 PM PDT

"Unfortunately for us both, I like crazy."

Well the line, "The night is darkest before the dawn" is actually from The Dark Knight (though it's cliche enough that it could be from something much older, I'm just not sure on that), and it was used in yesterday's weekly update, which is the last news-related post that Bungie put out before the Superintendent's latest message. Also, given all of the bs that surrounded the original planned date of the announcement, Bungie may be thinking that it's about damn time for this news to come to light, and therefore the dawn on this new title is about to break, spreading sunny goodness across the land.

maybe if it is the flood we might have a game that takes place before the halos were made. Perhaps the Forruner-Flood war, the story about a rampant AI *cough* Mendicant Bias *cough*, a time during the precursers, or just an ARG like others have said. Who knows?

Oh and mendicant bias is a forruner ai who got corrupted by the first grave mind and helped exterminate his creators. He is thought to be the voice on the terminals for those who dont know. And the precursers were before the forunners. any more info is on halopedia that may help understand just WTF is going on know

Awesome!! I hadn't made that connection but I believe that's exactly what's going on here.

Now, imagine that instead of radio chatter like Bumblebee had, SI has to communicate in the form of municipal road signs.

School Crossing
Do Not Pass
No Stopping on Shoulder
Pitch In!!
Deaf Children Playing
Roadwork Ahead

Pretty cool concept if you ask me.
