ENERGY SWORD!!!(can`t be used D=)

i`m too lazy to look at every post to make sure this hasn`t been posted already


Maybe some of the loading sequences will change it to a sword with energy.


no idea as when you go through the big door(to the pinned down marines) the door closes and you can`t get back through

Maybe some of the loading sequences will change it to a sword with energy.

That is actually a possibility we have to explore, but, generally, when you go into an aera without loading sequence that normally happened, you've got empty streets (no objets like cars, bus, etc.) , like that. That mean, if we succeed by-passing the loading sequence, it could also have no dead Elites and no empty sword.
Moreover, if that's the only way to get a sword in ODST, that's a glitch, and probably not "desired" by Bungie ... So, why these medals, why are they still in their "database" , why didn't they just "deleted" them since they know they're is no sword in ODST ?

Tepec, working on it

P.S. : and thank you bungie to keep this mystery on :P 'cause that's quite fun and that's one of the reasons making me still playing to ODST Campaign.

I have CDO.
It's like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, only in alphabetical
order like it should be.

Epic lulz.

I'm loving this thread. I'm not sure if Bungie put a sword in ODST or not, but it'd be naive to think that they left the medals there for neatness, without hearing it from a Bungie employee.

Awesome thread, OP. Good luck, everyone! =D

Bungie is so unpredictable about easter eggs, who knows what's out there and also how you get them. I mean, Bungie could totally just have the easter eggs (that we don't know about yet) only attainable on Legendary. On the other hand, they could just as likely put something rediculous on easy as well.

Man, there should be a group for finding ODST's secrets if there isn't one already.

You're such a baddass ^^

I don't have ODST yet, but I know from Halo 3, there is a special way to pick up an empty sword but I don't know how you had to do it, maybe it was with Forge, I don't remember it.

But if you finally have a sword (doesn't have to be full), you can still get medals because your spree goes further with a empty sword, just beat the ennemies down with the red B-button (standard lay-out in Halo 3).

Hopefully you guys can find and solve one of these many ODST secrets, awesome topic either!!

Does anyone even read these?

Myself and a couple of friends managed to get ourselves over the Covenant boundaries on the first mission with Buck. Couldn't find an Energy Sword sorry to say. :(

  • 10.03.2009 5:04 AM PDT

Okay if the weapons stats images are the same from halo 3 as some of you are saying. THEN just try and find the battle rifle image in the odst weapon image url. I have tried and it is not there. So why would the sword be there?

I believe that he should be John 11:7, not John 1:17. As proof, I created a thread to discuss this. John 11:7

The two gray spots next to the hero medal means there is no medal that goes there. Its just left over slots after the medals were divided by 3. You have 1 extra medal, and you need a new row for it. Since its only 1 medal, the other 2 spots are unnecessary and grayed out.

The skyjacker might be possible. Go to 1:00 and you will see someone flying a banshee in the oni bridge level and unless that was cut then you can get a banshee in that level somehow.

  • 10.03.2009 7:22 AM PDT

-K

That's really interesting.
I think that without this thread I never would have noticed the missing Swords. I think I'm going to have to check around next time I play to see if I can find a Sword.
Thanks for the information!

  • 10.03.2009 7:51 AM PDT

And how about finding clue in the audiologs? Maybe it's a bull-blam!- but who knows?

  • 10.03.2009 8:17 AM PDT

Wow, just wow!

On the campaign level with Romeo, I shot down a Banshee without destroying it, but it landed just outside where I could reach. Getting a banshee should definitely be possible.

I just tried stealing a banshee i plasma pistoled it down and the option doesn't come up. ii tried killing the driver without killing the banshee but it didn't work. It might have been because i tried beating it down. I did manage to steal the wraith though but once they blow up the bridge you just teleport across without your wraith

Make me a sammich!

I have found in the service record that there is a secret weapon. Out of all the weapons listed (including Guardians) there is another weapon that has a ? mark for a picture and it says "Classified, Iam calling my Lawyer" Could this be the Energy Sword Perhaps? And no its not guardians because Guardians has a ? mark to but it has a different description

That one is for getting killed by a flying object i.e. the cone in H3

Becuase they said there's no br. They never said anything about Energy Swords.

If at first you don't succeed, call in an airstrike

Here's a great find by Gamesagers

Posted by: Gamesagers
I just checked and the sword picture is also in the images for the weapons in odst just click view image on one of the weapons and replace the name with sword. http://www.bungie.net/images/halo3stats/odst/weapons/gif_med/ sword.gif I think you're right. okay i also checked and it is a new image heres the halo 3 image url here notice how the image is different too.


I just found the Skyjacker medal. Haven't been able to Skyjack a Banshee though.
You can't. I trapped a few banshees in the tunnels on Coastal Highway and you can't take them. Fun fact, it takes 6-8 melees to kill a banshee. lol

Exactly so that means there should be a sword in the game.
