reading all the stuff about UNSC and MAC-cannon's make me fairly certain to say that all of this is about something in the halo universe. Since it also has to do with the announcement of the next bungie title, I can conclude that Bungie's next game will indeed be in the halo universe.

What I can further destillate from these lines, is that there is some heavy attack going on, probably covenant, that strikes hard against humanity. The key sentence however is: "I didn't think you S1 types ever left your caves." S1 is certainly some special group of people, who mostly stayed in their "caves" . Seeing how S1 relates to the first two characters of the 'name' Spartan 117, the S1 types in discussion could very well be a group of spartan soldiers. This would explain why they stayed in their 'caves' most of the time, it's like the beginning of halo 1: master chief is not released from his cryo chamber (sort of a cave) untill the need for him is dire.

So, I think the next halo game will focus on the battle of Reach and will therefore be a prequel to the halo series, in which you would play either spartan 117 again, or maybe another or another group of spartans. The latter seems more obvious: bungie stated that halo 3 would be the end of the halo trilogy, so another adventure with the master chief might be delayed until the time is right for halo 4, which, hopfully, would not be any time soon.

Just my thoughts.

I pretty much said ALL of that already, in my posts on both this thread and the last. I even accumulated most of my posts into one on this very page, for people new to this thread (Like you) to read and gather information from. I would recommend you do so.

And the skulls, I thought, were a fact. As they are achievements in the game now.

it reads: Click it or Ticket, Keep it clean, Be a hero report violators, Take it to make it, Beach open for water contact, Yield to pedestrians, Look both ways before crossing, Recycling do your part, Your tax dollars at work, Speed Zone ahead, Pardon our dust, Door ajar, Good citizens conserve Fuel, White zone for loading only, then some numbers

it's a long shot but just in case...

Where was this found? It sounds exactly like what the SI was saying in the bits of the first message.

About the skulls effects and all, I have no idea; we'll have to wait and see.
As for the grunt's drink, I just find it odd, so I was merely suggesting to watch it. ; )

Found in the link above that post.

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.

As some of you already found out, The superintendent "misspelled" KEEP IT CLEAN, by inserting numbers insead of letters. For example KEE4 IT CLEAN.
These are the numbers they "misspelled" and the number of times.

KEEP IT CLEAN
0714 08 1030
(
071---1--0
071---1--0
071---1--0
-71--8
-7---8
-----8
----0
----0
--------0
--------0
---------3
---------3
---------3
---4
---4
)

Now i just wonder, anyone got something on this? I know Bungie likes numbers...

Not to be belligerent, but it doesn't really matter whether or not you already posted something similar. I highly doubt you both said the exact same thing, so it's possible that- while similar to your post- someone else might shed some light on something others might have missed. Either way his opinion, just as yours, is certainly worth something. This thread doesn't have anything along the lines of a discussion leader, so let people voice their opinions as they see fit without being dismissive of them. The whole point of a thread like this is for people to contribute their opinions to the general discussion and share ideas. Let them, things wouldn't be nearly as interesting or fruitful if people didn't offer their input because someone else has already said something similar. Again, don't take this personally; just be a little more accepting of other people.
Cheers,
Geoff

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and we all appreciate the contribution... it's just that before you post you need to do a bit of reading and research.

Anyone posting now owes it to the rest of us that have been here for 200+ pages.

It gets old having to tell people that are just jumping in that their information and theories have already been thoroughly discussed and that the forum in general has progressed since then.

I'm completely accepting of everyone's input. See, here's the thing. In the KEEP IT CLEAN thread, people would always repeat things already said. Following that, someone new is reading the page. That new person sees that post, thinks it's a brand new discovery, then goes on about it. More people follow suit, and the thread enters into a loop that is difficult to end. I am merely trying to prevent loops from happening. When the guys I normally work with on here come back, then you'll understand why we are doing this.

You weren't belligerent in any way, just so you know. ; )

It's cool dude. BTW, what is this about webcams? I haven't seen any of that before, where do you go to view them?

Well, I was going to answer, but Se1rahc got you first. =P

**Edit -- If you want an explanation of the webcams, my big post should explain most of it. Path of Doom is showing off the boxes, PAX 08 is simply just that, Really Random Cam has the ombudsman note, most probably meaning Beta, and the bottom right has a grunt holding a drink in the middle. <--- That's the general outline.
