just wondering, could it be possible that this next game could take place in the future, im not saying a halo 4 game but a game that takes place 500 or so years after halo 3, we know the si is an A.I but i can't find him as being an A.I from the past, just a thought

my father and brother are in the millitary, and most of us are no ignoramus's, we know what it means. BUT your the one who brought it up in a convo about what HALO means so your the one saying that a 'High altitude low opening' is related to halo. why else bring it up?

so basically, in keep it clean when the operator tells SI that he'll send in a team to investigate, is the conversation in pardon our dust coming from that same squad that the operator said he would send in? I was just wondering how related both posts were to each other.

No. KEEP IT CLEAN is from an archive that this DARE individual accessed, you'll see it towards the top when the file was opened. PARDON OUR DUST is between DARE and an Admiral in the UNSC, most think it is Stanforth, but we have no absolute evidence to that fact as of yet.

I am at an... UTTER loss of words as to what chaos this thread has come to..
Seriously. Toast! Come on, man! You started out legitimately helping, then you go on a rant about toast! I never want to see something like that again! That's ridiculous! It completely threw this thread off-topic!!
Want to guess what happens to threads that go off-topic? You guessed it! LOCKED!

Look, if you want an update an what's happened, then here you go.

[b]PLEASE read this post if you want information on what is going on.


Look, to clear everything up, I will paste my explanation yet again. Please take the time to read it. Thank you.

"Alright, I've been asked for explanations many times, and they get shorter each time. haha

Anyways, this game is most likely going to be related to The Fall of Reach. The reasoning for this is that the two people conversing seem to be in a hurry, meaning they were not prepared for this. In other words, this is a new threat, the covenant. The firing of the many archer missile pods resembles an exact event in the book. Thus, this may very well be based on the beginning of the entire Spartan/Mjolnir program. Maybe it will begin with the taking of the kids, training them, then sending them out to their first missions as in The Fall of Reach?

All I can say is, watch the webcams. The drink the grunt is holding, the handwritten sign, the boxes.. Hell, the PAX Event Schedule could very well be moved to reveal something under it. They update every 59.3 seconds or so, just for your information.

So, this is all mere speculation, as are everyone's thoughts. Eventually, this shall all solidify into one big "Tru7h", as Bungie would say.

On a side note, I'm very mad. I had to type this twice, and I probably left out information. >.<
Stupid link that guy posted.. I copied it, and it got rid of the text I typed and copied, because it didn't send.

Also, that link you posted, it's probably fake. Ensemble was busy working on Halo Wars. Why would they work on something as big as a Massively Multi-Player game at the same time? Things like that require a huge task force, something a sub-branch of Microsoft probably does not have. So, it has nothing to do with this. There is no need to talk about that here.

**Edit -- If you want my explanation of the previous Keep It Clean thread, then please refer to pages 90-138 or so of the article. You should find at least one of my many explanations there. Each one in there got more descriptive, so if you don't find one in that page range, then one will definitely be in 60-80."

***Edit -- Now, I'm adding more. S1 means ONI Section 1. Stop saying new things for it, as it is old news. The Ombudsman may very well mean a Beta, as Beta tests are meant to take advice from people on ways to make it better. <--- That's the job of an Ombudsman.

In the picture of PARDON OUR DUST, Banshees and Hornets have been seen. The Superintendent is in it, we all know, so stop telling us. The word is "Reinitialize." No need to analyze the picture any more. Thank you.

Stop analyzing the Superintendent wallpapers. We've gotten as much as possible out of them from the last 200+ pages of posts with this thread and the KEEP IT CLEAN thread combined.

Stop pointing out the Superintendent sticker in the Really Random Cam. That's way too old now.

Odds are, anything you have to say has been said. So, we just need to wait for the next post to occur, or some form of update.

Information about the KEEP IT CLEAN Thread:

Each message in every language says "Please remain calm." Nothing new.
TOKYO RULES has been said to point to the Tokyo Game Show, but odds are, that's wrong.
The whole picture has already been pieced together, so don't worry about it.
In the conversation text, the lack of alertness means the threat has not completely started, so it's in the beginning of the War.
We are aware that seven Superintendents exist. The only real ones have the green background and Superintendent picture. Only one has posted in threads, and that one is posting these news articles as well.
No more information is really needed about this.

Along with watching the webcams, please continue to play Halo 3, as clues may be found in the game.

Everything surely points to a prequel, that's almost blatantly obvious. As I think of more, I shall post them here.

****Edit -- Read this thread for more information.

haha Thanks, Shadow. Nice to see you back, as well. I was wondering where you all were.
Yeah, we definitely need to get this going normally again. I mean, seriously.. Toast? I saw you trying, and he was completely insubordinate. If this thread had been locked, I would have been quite mad.

Good news though! My cross country team won first place at the meet. ; )
No need to discuss it though; don't want to go off-topic again.

Never posted here before figure throw my 2 cents in. The 2 cryptic posts revolve around the s1, someone from oni. I believe that person from the keep it clean post is in this place and somethings wrong he or she does a query for those three words. “EMERGENCY” “DATA” “CORRUPTION” . Something has already happened and is gathering intel. Possible flood outbreak. (growling) Now it sounds like in all halo books the covenant are looking for artifacts of forerunner. Now to the pardon our dust. It seems to me the person on the ground found a lead wherever he or she is and wants their team of whomever spartans, odst, whatever to help. As this happens covenant came in to look themselves for forerunner objects and saw a ship HEAVY CRUISER “SAY MY NAME”. and engaged. Now hes overwhelmed and refers to his orders from hq. He going to put up the oni team the s1 refers to. Now whats interesting is there is a whole team but she only sends the name of the ranking officer. And at the end the captain of the ship says And right now? That’ll take a genuine act of God. then the person on the ground says [DARE.V.500341(S1)]: “I’ll see what I can do.” This person on the ground is a person of power that can somehow help the person in space above. With what a mac gun maybe? Also a side note. All halo games AI from the rings refer to 117 as they met him before, or the idea of him before. '''Like in halo 3 you are forerunner. At some point masterchief is going back in time to forerunner days. My opinion. this is a continuation of halo 3 an expansion. Also that obudsman thing could be they let the press see the game. I'm sure when we find out they will want coverage all over so a day or 2 before let the press in it fit in to what the obudsman stands for. Also the boxes are important. If it is an expansion it will be sold on disk and I bet thats also how you get the new maps a whole new disk. Seems odd to it ties to the fact that the new update lets you store games on the hard drive. Tell me what you think. I also believe the 6 new maps are both campaign and multiplayer levels hence the skulls in the update. And before you say why would they let the skull thing leak on the update, remember we were supposed to now all this already. but microsoft screwed that up. Oh and typed that one handed broke my other hand. So forgive the typos.

And yes, I love the subject. hahaha
And I talked to Mr. Hand. He said he put the sign there to let us know someone is watching the update to make sure things are going smoothly.
But, I still say there is a double-meaning to it. ; )

He's not a true fan -_-

Sounds logical. This, at least, provides a second road this could follow, I must say. Good contribution, man. It could now be either of our theories. =P
