I found an extremely interesting inconsistency in the visor map. The Stonehenge style formation appears as such on the visor map but so do 2 other interior plazas. These other two plazas don't have Stonehenge columns though, just the one, which is odd considering the map shows all three as being the same as the first. This is an obvious indicator that there is some form of puzzle going on here. As each plaza is in a different loaded portion of the city, we can assume the game runs a check every time the doors open to indicate whether we have met the condition required to load the Stonehenge formation in the new block. I believe this to be true because I installed the ODST disc to my HD, (which reduced all load times a great deal) and the sections that contained Stonehenge structures on the maps take an extra five seconds to load. This means the game is definitely doing something extra in these areas, and I believe it is a direct result of the inconsistent city map.

My friend is gonna look through the map files for ODST and see if it exists in the Mombasa Streets map. I'll get back to you with what he says.
Ask him to check the medals. If the Sword Spree is in the actual game, then it is much more likely that there is a sword.
He's checking out the .map files, not the game's binaries.
edit: He has confirmed if there is an energy sword, it is not in mombasa streets
It's not that simple. Tell your friend he is wasting his time searching the code. He won't find a weapon named "energy sword", if it's in the game they used a fake name for it. Especially after the IWHBYD fiasco, I doubt Bungie will ever directly name something intended to be secret the same thing it is actually called.
That said, I believe that openly admitting to doing this is a gross violation of forum policy, although I don't know for sure. You, or your 'friend' should not continue your search of the game code, unless you take it somewhere else, not Bungie.net. In short, stop before you are banned.
