Do a freakin' barrel roll!!!!!!!111one11!!

...which is here if you didn't know where.

If you were to envision the picture as Reach in a somewhat sunrise-esque appearance, then those Covenant ships visible above the "surface" are shooting their plasma cannons away from Reach.

This, obviously, seems to be a mistake on "El Photoshoporo's" part. Why in the world would those ships be firing away from Reach? Ah, but what if you were to envision the picture's backround as a "fish-eye" camera shot, those "land formations" being clouds, and the sun rising from the horizon? Wrong. If you look closely, really closely, you'd notice they were, in fact, continents on Reach's surface.

'So why point this out you nerd?' The answer is: "It is a mistake. A mistake I doubt an "EP1C PRO FOTOSHOPPURZ" would not notice." The problem is, where do we go from here? Yeah, you found a "mistake", so shouldn't that mean theres some sort of easter egg or clue? I doubt it, I truly doubt it. There seems to be little importance in this, other than the fact that I think someone "are has problumz wit corrctlee duing fotoshopurz". But who knows? Maybe this is the first set of clues to arise once again from the mysterious Halo universe...

The picture that is located at the top of the web-page throughout this forum, the one with the five characters in it.

I figured, but where are these ships you keep referencing? All I see are the silhouettes.

  • 06.03.2009 5:07 PM PDT

I think the word you are looking for is envision.

You'll find the blown-up picture here

You can see the Covenant ships clearly in that, plus you can see the plasma streams which are near invisible in the picture on the top of this page.

Ah, thanks...that is odd, I see what you were trying to point out.

Forever there shall be war, thus forever we shall fight...

Nice reason ViolentToy. But I really doubt we should subject the banner to much scrutiny, it's not too important.

  • 06.03.2009 5:26 PM PDT

Oh, but it is important. The sillouettes you see are most likely part of, if not the main focus of the game. But of course, I do see your point. We havn't seen much, but as all veteran Halo users know, speculation on minute things seems to rule all in conspiracies. We all remember when The Superintendent totally -BLAM'ed us, there was more conspiracy than JFK, and this could be our lady in the red...

Thanks, just updated it with the new link.

Also, in the picture, you can see that this is'nt just the planet- but its a view from the surface, with mountain range

-Its just stylised! Damn, this is annoying, how does nobody but me notice this stuff!

I see what you mean, especially because at first I thought it was a mountain range, but I see it as just part of Reach's surface, either a continent or a reflection off the water.

Hah... I noticed that too.

I think it's meant to look like the Spartans in a desert or mountainous place, with the Covenant ships firing down on the land and cities behind those mountains. It's like an optical illusion.

  • 06.03.2009 6:13 PM PDT

maybe it's INSIDE the planet.

THAT'S CRAZY TALK WHATTUM I SAYIN'.

it looks like the micro-dyson sphere a little bit to me

the OP has no depth perseption at all, or else he would realise that is is an optical illusion. it is the planet AND the horison at the same time

Now that you say that, thats probably the most likely reason. It is an interesting picture, and I hope some more are to come, even just some terrain pics!

  • 06.03.2009 7:05 PM PDT

What a waste....

Heh, thought it was messed up at first, but I saw the were glassing the poles (what they did in the book).

Looks like the ships are a compliment to the people in the Forefront. Those would be some pretty darn big Covenant ships to be shooting on the surface from there.
