seriously, no more talk about the maps, acchievements, etc. this thread should be 4 talk about what this message means, good point jumper.


Thank you, MidgetMan. =P

And, it's been a while since I've read the books. I might go back and re-read them now, but wasn't Captain Keyes once a Lieutenant? What if he is the Lieutenant on that ship "Say My Name?"

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.


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.


6 vs 6 is a new playlist so you'll have your chance, don't worry

can we put this cryptic message into that decoder program thing and see if it can predict some of this stuff and STOP THE TENSION!!

Master Chief, henceforth known as John, might not be directly related to the new game. He might be a kid during this game for all we know, if it is during the beginning of the war, as the majority suppose. So, anything could happen, really.

Thank you for calling Authorize.Net my name is Zach

This was probably said long ago but I missed it. The SI could possibly be an AI that runs a city in the new game. Just a thought its been done in another games but the most recent update seems like that might be a possibility

Superintendents (SI) like janitors (Plunger Icon) work out of basements (Cave). The Super is the last guy to join a squad of marines, a dude who rises to be a hero, the story of Sergeant Johnson perhaps. It's gotta be a prequel, the first invasion or attack. Thats my two cents. Can't wait for tomorrow.

i've read PARDON OUR DUST like 100000 times and i still can't think of anything it could mean. going 2 bed but checking the forums in the morning if i can. good luck hunting 4 the truth. hopefully someone can "crack the code" of the superintendent.

I suppose reading the books would probably give me a bit more insight into these cryptic messages, though it seems every time I look for them, no bookstore has them. D:

The possibilities are seemingly endless, though I'm fairly certain as much as I would like this to be something of a continuation of Halo 3, its most likely not.

However, could bungie introduce a new threat, as seen in many other science fiction genres? O_O

Wow Slidell eh? My fellow Louisianna native is cracking the whip and staying on topic. Duly noted, however. I am new to the blog world. You must be thrilled to simply have power.


haha I love how everyone says I have power here and stuff. XD I don't know.. I just try my best to keep things in order, because I was involved in the other post since almost the beginning, and I pretty much kept order in there while I was on. I have school, sports, music, and many more things though, so I'm not on 24/7. That's when I need you all to step up and take charge of this for me.

I had someone in the previous thread tell me to go back to my Bungie office and tell them to spill the information. haha That's how convincing I was with the "authority." And no, I do not work for Bungie before anyone asks.

i already thought this was comming. i posted this the other day on keep it clean. the s1 theory seems very plausible then


So did minimal research and i found that part of the halo graphic novel was titled "Second Sunrise over New Mombasa" (darkest before dawn!!!) and it says that Sgt. Johnson was part of the Spartan I program. Halopedia puts that prgram at 2491 and Spartan II being at 2517. in an earlier post someone had mentioned a year in early 2500 and another post mentioned a game revolving around Sgt Johnson, so something to look into...

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/ORION_Project

look for "Second Sunrise" here
Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa


Edit: if you look at the pic of page 122 on "2nd Sunrise" and go full size the time stamp on the photos of johnson say 2502, also the entry states "fighting on the streets of New Mombasa"

pg122

I just want to point out, real fast, that in the "Obey Posted Limits" wall paper ( http://www.bungie.net/images/games/wallpapers/1idopskeykd.jpg ) there is a nice secret message.

If you look in the top right corner, you can see what looks like random letters and symbols. This is actually "L337" speak.

The translation is "Don't blame Stosh"

I lol'd.

To Bleach and to you, yes, this does seem to be a prequel near or based on the Fall of Reach.

To MisterSquee, I recommend buying the books as soon as possible. I also recommend you learn to speed-read, considering this will all probably be over with before you finish all the books. haha

Anyways! I love how this is coming along. Much better than the other one. And I swear, if anyone comes in here asking what an ARG is or where to find webcams, after all 137 pages of the other one, with people asking that on every page.. Blah.
