I'm trying to enhance the image. In the keep it clean post, I'm almost certain that it's French, saying "Remain Calm...itself pleases you."
I don't speak French I'm just pretty certain it is, and that's what a translator told me (from what I could make of what's there.)

You got translator that quickly!?
And mabey with all this prequel stuff, the new maps will have refrence to Halo:Chronicles???

I think that these S1's are the original Spartans. The spartan 1's whereas the Master Chief is a spartan 2...I also think that these may be the spartans that were MIA in the original halo trilogy. In the books there was always a reference to the three spartans that dissapeared without a trace. Perhaps these spartans had their own little adventure while the master chief was busy saving the galaxy and whatnot? Maybe they found something unimaginable and had to go handle some buisiness? Maybe this game or whatever bungie is hinting at is a cocurrent time line that runs alongside the Master Chief's adventures. Maybe they were doing their own thing while he was doing his?

Even more intriguing is the thought that since the Master Cheif himself is MIA atm, maybe a new threat has come after a beaten and beleagured earth--Maybe all they have left Are the Original Spartans like Johnson to protect them....Either way, they're Little plot they've got going here is extra intruiging and I Can't wait to see em' flesh it out alittle bit more.

yah i hear that, i wish i didn't have school 2morro :(. then i could stay up all night and read w/ u guys on the forums, then download the TU2. phyched 4 the 6 new maps w/ skulls in them. an idea, dunno if n e one has thought of this and srry if someone has allready posted this but the map name "Sandbox"...makes u think that its gonna be the new forge map. im not sure about the whole prequel vs. sequel thing going on in here but we r all certain SOMETHING halo related is going to be announced and hey, isn't that what we all want?

So, The new achievements suggest 6 new maps, more than Bungie has ever hinted at.
One possibly being a forge map, called sandbox. The name does make sense, considering you make things in a sandbox.
The other being the recently announced Assembly, a Scarab factory.
Orbital, being rumored to be something like the orbital defense station from Halo 2.
Citadel is like the place where you fight (fought) guilty spark in Halo 3.
But the others? Your guess is as good as mine.

But, what is the whole "webcam" thing I keep hearing about? O.o

Okay, sorry guys, but I doubt this thread is the best place to talk about the new achievements. Create a sub-thread if you want. This thread is about solving the mystery of these posts, nothing more, nothing less.

Also, stop talking about where vehicles are in campaign levels.. What does this have to do with anything? And don't say one of the new achievements. That's 4 ghosts, and that's all there is to it. Now, back to talking about this post.

Will is everything.

yeh the majority of them look like fun but there are a few that are like..why? eg: Vidmaster Challenge: Annual, Vidmaster Challenge: 7 on 7 (what happens if your allready well over 7 xp? have to start over or quit tonnes of games untill you get to 7xp to jsut get that one achievement or with the new exp system you get to 7xp and then have to wait possobly a whole month until the 7th and then if you miss the time because of time zones and what not its just seems like a headache)

some of these new achievements seem a bit streaches in terms of practicallity and having a real point to doing it.


bungie is crafty, theyr going to unleash something big and i can't wait!!


I don't know; the new achievements seem quite reasonable to me. As fun as the original ones could be, I hated being forced to play ranked free-for-all to get some. It's nice that they are including social gametypes as well.


Yeah I'm not so sure about the 7 on 7 one. Do you have to start a whole new account? I really don't get how that would work for a lot of us veteran players.

S1 has been said to mean Section one of ONI. The Spartan I program has been practically thrown out of this. Still a possibility, but much less than Section 1 of ONI.

Wait. There is a ghost on the last level of H3? Under a ramp on the left? WTF? Never heard of such. Can someone confirm this? Is the ending different? Seems the cut scene would be different right?

There, it is a video on how to get the ghost, lol.

Wow, i have never gone left there before haha

possobly the new exp system but still seems unreasonable to make people wait a month if they miss the 7th and with the new penaltys for people who quit games we don't have much of a choice but to wait.

I am going to continue assuming this is for the Mythic Map Pack.

I hope I'm wrong and it's a new game.

Relax. Don't go all -blam!- on us. We're just sharing info.

  • 09.22.2008 8:23 PM PDT

Will is everything.

Well to get back on topic... Since there has been these cryptic transmissions today and Friday, I'm guessing we can expect one each day until Thursday? That would seem a better time than any to reveal the mystery of the Superintendent: Halo 3's one year anniversary.

End all these vehicle conversations, now. Take them to a new thread or something. We do not want to hear about this pointless information. What we do want to hear is information relating to this most recent news post. Thank you.

Seeing as we have picked this post apart within 13 pages or so, it seems that all we can do is wait now. >.< But yes, your thought process is quite logical. I do intend on carrying this post onto 100 pages or so, like the other one, unless a new post, like you say, comes tomorrow.

You do have a point, but this could be relevant in some obscure way.

Keeping to the "secret messages", has anyone considered the possibility of maybe an addon, as in a new campaign addon? I know its incredibly unlikely, but just something to mull about on.

Bungie, why do you torture us so?
