Subject: PARDON OUR DUST

my firtst thought about all this was another small release. But now i think its gonna eb somethin big. Webcams are key to this and, the top theory i think is the prequel. But in the text it refers to a group as S1s,,,,so are they S1s cuz they are from section1 or are they S1s for another reasns.

S1 are spartan 1's, that's confirmation this new project is at the very least in the halo universe, as long as it's not a god damn pre-quel! I've just messed my pants!

S1's? MAC's? Archer Pods? Admiral....sounds really really Halo like to me guys.
S1's being Spartan 1's, MAC's being the massive cannons on spaceships, and the others being mentioned numerous times during the games and books.
So it seems like a prequel game to me. No Chief, and so to hear it must be like the squad-based game that was rumoured some time ago.

"Take 'em down! NOW!"

I'm getting into this late, apparently, but WHO'S THE SI?!
What, are they bringing back ONI or something?

"Take 'em down! NOW!"

I don't get it...what does this all mean? Are they bringing back ONI or something?

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

After reading a lot of posts, it seems that a lott of you know much about the Halo univers. But your conclusions, how should I put it.. Lack ambision. First of all, the theory that bungie would make an etire game based on some squad doing some serious mission.
Well it may be a fun game and I agree that much is pointing that way (the past days Bungie.net updates). However it doesn't seam interesting enough for an etire game other then gameplay wise so to say.

What i would wish for most, is for Bungie to make a singleplayer expansion to the third game, taking of were it ended on the Legendary difficulty, thus "Finishing the fight"/ solving the flood and forerunner mystery an finding out what the hell that planet 343 mumbles about at the end of the Ark.
Sadly enough I doubt they will because of obvious money pumping reasons.
*sigh* Then Il have to wait for "Halo4".

i think it actually means ONI Section 1 because Spartan 1s would report to fleetcom and ONI are very secretive hence the cave reference

Plus he knew about them Spartan 1s are classified so it would be unlikely that it is a Spartan 1 (though we can hope)

Actually a Squad-Game would have alot of gameplay. Look at the Rainbow Six series. It's popular, and it's doing well. I really doubt they'd add on to the singleplayer. And even if they did, i have a hard time seeing what more we can get from the campaign. We have, after all, already finished the fight.

someone posted this picture from the super intendants latest post, but pointed out a lot of intresting features (such as the hornets) but what he missed was what appears to be a warthog, right be hind the text on the middle left side of the screen. warthogs facing away from the hornets.

Surely a combination of the 'other' achievement descriptions, the protracted build up of another story and the end of the acceptance video with the 'blank map' would all suggest that for Christmas Bungie will be releasing -

1 - the mythic map pack which will include purple goodness

2 - campaign expansion missions based around a back story with four Spartan love in

and either of these will involve large forging funzy yah! - forging of campaign missions

By the fact that this stuff is not a game... or nobody has found that the clues go anywhere... this would seem like the logical conclusion of all of elements

Finished the Fight!

Huh. Two absolutely weird posts -- with heavy references to the Halo universe -- from Bungie in less than a week. Now WTF does this all mean???

You know what? I -blam!- give up. This -blam!- thread goes round and round in -blam!- circles with people coming up with -blam!- ideas that were disproved with mountains of evidence pages ago. If people had the common courtesy to DO A BIT OF -blam!- RESEARCH, then we'd maybe get somewhere. Anyway, I'm leaving, so to those of you who were on topic and tried to figure it out, good luck, and I hope you figure it out, and to those of you who don't do a single bit fo research and find something out that was found ages ago and you make yourself sound so big, -blam!- off and let the people who know what they're on about do what they do best.

Discuss.

If that is in reference to me, all I am saying is that Ii don't think the Halo universe will lead to telling you what the actual thing that is coming out is.

Thats what I said, the gameplay would be good. Its just that the story and intrigue has little to come with. And about "We have, after all, already finished the fight." well, the story isn't finished, so i beg to differ.

Agreed. Most of us that are posting now have been working on the SI's new campaign for weeks. Some of you obviously didnt even know about the discussion on the previous thread, KEEP IT CLEAN. We appreciate your input, but please, before you throw out a random theory... DO SOME RESEARCH!!! there are only 40 pages so far, I think the last thread made it to 140 in just a few days. The veterans of this thread are frustrated because everyone thinks they have it figured out in a single post. You don't! We have all done huge amount of research already. All im saying is read the first few pages and the last few pages. There is a wealth of knowledge to be had...

*sigh* Lovely, we lost one of our main people. Lancaster, sorry for all the posts of the people who are new to the thread.. If you see this, come back, and just kind of stay in the back for a while, and post when you feel it's the right time.

As for everyone who claims S1 means Spartan I, that's wrong. It's ONI Section 1. And in response to people saying this will be a sequel, that's wrong. You can tell by the conversation's tone that this is somewhat of a new event, so they are, in a way, overreacting as quickly as possible and overriding protocols. That means this will most probably be a prequel, based on the early novels like The Fall of Reach.

"In the science fiction television series, Babylon 5, the arbiters aboard space station Babylon 5 who preside over cases stemming from public complaints are referred to as ombuds (this is both the singular and plural designation), the gender-neutral title for an ombudsman. Just as with their modern European counterparts, the ombuds only preside over public cases, including robbery, assault, and murder, and do not interpret law as a regular judiciary does."

I found that on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ombudsman.
Does Babylon 5 have anything to do with this? o.O It mentions arbiters..

I still say Stanforth, as he had Keyes on board his ship in The Fall of Reach. And, he knew Halsey closely. If this book is a prequel, it may very well be him.
The only other possibility would be Stanforth, as he issued a recall of all ships to Reach. He could have been the admiral, then he probably died soon after. Well, he was presumed to be dead, as the entire fleet had to pass him by in the middle of the battle, and the admiral was desperate enough to launch 7 pods of Archer missiles.
