Its hard because its so easy, This was made 2 years ago, which could also mean that something that almost no one knew about then, could be something everyone knows about TODAY.

Check the objective paths. They spell words.

Please stop giving out hints.

I got it! It was quite an enjoyable puzzle, I just wish I hadn't had to wait until after work to finish it.

I just want to point out...that this puzzle was made 2 years ago before the launch of halo 3. so try not to reference something of today in your search for the answer. Many of you say it was EASY, when they state it's a HARD puzzle...so your easy answer is probably really really wrong. As well posting help may also be posting the answer, and could end up getting you banned from bungie.net so don't toss around answers.

The only thing we should be looking at is this: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo2.aspx?gameid=774245 350

this is what i noticed. When the Alien kills the red team he writes the words using the red flag and his jetpack. Same with the blue team. it goes Blue, Red, Red, Red, Blue, Blue. As well, note the Comma used only with the word "Humen". pretty significant for a reason.


It is a HARD puzzle, but the answer is EASY to get...

I seriously don't think it has anything to do with Edgar Allen Poe.

I hope bungie reads this thread prior to awarding recon, with all these exposed clues many people are gaining an extremely unfair advantage.


I don't see the big deal...it's not like the answer was spread within 10 minutes...it's been several hours and we could ALL be going in the wrong direction. Chances are those 5 spots have already been taken and if the "random draw" for 2 people is going to give everyone a fair chance I think the clues being given are ok...especially when we're supposedly a community. A community normally helps one another.


Do you understand how odds work? Or how puzzles work, for that matter?

Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.

If they're seriously not going to give it to the first 5 people who were right because they were "helping" the community as a whole I'll be mad. As I've stated before we're supposed to be a community, as far I know a community is supposed to help it's members...i mean sure if one guy found the answer and PM'd all his friends and they submitted it by all means don't give it to him.

However no "major" clues were given in the first few pages of this thread...this puzzle was also put up over 4 hours ago, if people need help who are we to deny them?? Remember what your teacher used to say "I can help you...but i can't give you the answer" that's exactly what those who already have it are doing...pointing people in the right direction so they can get the answer for themselves and enter a contest..

I'd like to remind all of you that the answer ONLY counts if you put it in the SUBJECT of the private message.

And the WMV works fine as far as we can tell. If it isn't working for you, I recommend you try to "save as" the video instead of playing it directly.


It doesn't play directly, just as the ODST video. You have to download it. Once it's downloaded, it opens only as text and not as a video.

  • 07.07.2009 1:31 PM PDT

When this is all over, you guys all need to post what you put as a solution. Based on these posts, some of them will be quite comical.

i think you have to spell out words.

  • 07.07.2009 1:33 PM PDT

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Well, looks like its only for smart people.

I might have it but Idk

  • 07.07.2009 1:38 PM PDT

For all of those that submitted an answer you should get a reply from the puzzlebot saying that it received your pm, and that it would be the only pm it would sent to you, so Im not sure if that means that it will only accept your first answer or if you submit further answer, they will get accepted but the bot will not send a reply.

  • 07.07.2009 1:39 PM PDT

My main account.

This is an alt.

Here's the smallest hint I can give you.

Think of Lady Liberty leading the people into a musical act, and think of Singapore's capital being Singapore City. If you examine the "Singapore City" of Lady Liberty's musical act, you will find the word. You just might not recognize it.

If you get the answer, you may see what I'm referring to. Provided you like Coldplay and paintings.

I don't think that has anything to do with the answer for the answer I got fits all the clues.
