Subject: New Firefight Medals, a possible preview in Sandbox?

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Some may already know of the easter egg in Sandbox with the Splatter medal on the Obelisk. But a closer look will tell you that it is NOT a Splatter medal, the red design is different, along with the lack of Intestines in the Sandbox egg. My theory? This is one of the new medals for Firefight that Bungie mentioned in the new Podcast. What do you guys/girls think?

For comparison, here are pics of the 2 medals.

Looks like fire. Maybe a new firebomb/flamethrower based medal?

I guess the red thing looks somewhat like fire...
You shouldn't expect to much ;)

The podcast also said that ALL of the old medals will appear in Firefight as well. So I don't see why they would change the incineration medal. BUT who knows what new way bungie thought up to use fire. It could also have something to do with explosions.

Maybe not change it, but add a new one.

If I had one wish for Bungie.net, it would be to be able to change my username. Even if it cost me Microsoft Fun-Money, Space Bucks, or Stosh Dollars. That is all.

It kind of looks like wings... You get it when you splatter in an aircraft?

looks like guts to me

  • 06.04.2009 11:02 AM PDT

The red does look like a bird. Maybe the slightly flame-like pattern is a reference to firefight itself.

in my opinion its a warning sign , this didnt just happen to whoever sees this (meaning u didnt get hit/splattered by the beam of the guardians

When Master Cheif fought Chuck Norris, the resulting explosion caused the death of all tellie-tubbies in every parallel universe.

to me it looks like a plant/scenery thing, maybe all the coning made it on to ODST

i think so to but if it is then incineration spree

  • 06.04.2009 1:06 PM PDT

seeing as it is on the Obelisk, i believe it either is a kill using the guardians, or they may have some new type of gauss cannon, as in one of the Halo books, (Book: Contact Harvest, Page: 16,
the M99 Stanchion gauss-rifle

  • 06.30.2009 8:14 PM PDT

Would you dance for it?

Nice catch....

Could it be a warning about the Laser towers on Sandbox?

Just a guess.

  • 06.30.2009 8:17 PM PDT

It's all in good fun!

lol, I'm pretty sure the one on the obelisk just symbolizes what it does to you. :P

That thing ruled. It was on the Hornet, right? It would be sweet if they had a new Hornet like that in Firefight...Anyone ever notice that the UNSCs technology gets worse over time?
