I spoke to this person over LIVE, they do not want their name to be shared.
I was given the photo by this person. They supplied it and censored it and whatever. I never touched it. Weather it is real or not, i dunno.

Its probably a shop, because the black squares behind the sword spree thing are far darker than the lighter coloured ones. It looks too suspicious to be considered evidence

You make me angry, I hit you with my metal pipe!
Now with extra metal!

yep, upon looking it over, your correct.

yaaay its fake the search continues...

Where there is smoke, there is fire. Or a smoke machine.

It's also a fake because they have the killionare medal before the 2 before it, so they can obviously photoshop. If they photoshopped killionare then they can obviously fake a sword spree into it.

GUYS (and girls)

I have a theory!!

You know the symbols on the stonehenge?

Maybe, just maybe you have to go and find all the dead elite bodies in the city and come back because I just came out of that area and found an elite body with matching symbols above its head and on the walls :o

Now, it could either be elites bodies or just the symbols in general and it could either be one symbol off the columns or you have to find the set of symbols that are on each column.

Just a theory, you heard it here first from me :P

It's still painfully obvious that it's a photoshop. The whole 1 on the chest but 4 on the popup thing disproves it.

Just found something interesting. There is a symbol on the wall opposite the door that opens with the glyphs, but this symbol only appears when you use the glyphs to open the door. I will post pics soon.


I took a screenshot of a picture in front of the magical opened door. Its the first you'll see if you go to my service record. You mean that one?

Maybe its just a random picture but I have never seen it before.

Somebody needs to make a group for this. One thread is not enough. This is going to get mega-disorganized soon if a group or something isn't made.

Space, zoom, fade!

Just got up, wow that was a bad time to fall asleep.
You guys have been forging ahead!!

I noticed that someone earlier stated that they noticed the blue line surrounding the door that was mentioned WAY earlier, i was just wondering if anyone has managed to get inside yet?

Also by staring at glyphs it now seems apparent that we can open, otherwise, closed doors.
When Cold Glider was examining that Glyph he get a checkpoint notice.

I found that when ever i examined that glyphs that appear in the stone henge room (the one which has the stones in it)
I also received a checkpoint for no apparent reason.
I tested this theory again by examining a glyph by one of the dead elites body's i found that was lying in a corner somewhere (i will try to remember where exactly), and sure enough i received another checkpoint.

Maybe it is these glyphs that are the "keys" to unlock certain doors, only certain glyphs seem to do this.

Also that music seemed to change, even though no enemy's were in the sector.

theres like a 100 of us and its going well anyway

I must never sleep again...Australians go to bed at the worst times.
Anyway. Even though you people are focusing on glyphs, I'm an elite kind of guy. I still think theres something to do with the elites...

There are six glyphs in the stonehenge room right? Maybe we just need to find six glyphs scattered around the city to match them, then return there. I know I am grossly over simplifying things, but I think it sounds plausible.

Within the simplicity lies the genius.I think that is a smart idea.

i haven't yet read this entire thread and plan on doing so. im sure someone else has realized this but Y is the 25th letter of the alphabet and 2+5=7. not significant except the fact that it is an extremely well-hidden "7" reference

See my post further up about finding dead elites/glyphs. generally the same idea.

There are a lot more than six glyphs in the stone henge room.

On the first pillar (the one with the s.i on it) there are: 5 glyphs.
On the second (to the right of the s.i pillar) there are: 7 glyphs.
On the third (to the right) there are: 7 glyphs.
on the fourth (" ") There are: 7 glyphs.
On the fifth (" ") there are: 8 glyphs.
On the sixth (" ") there are: 5 glyphs.

all these Glyphs on the pillars (with the exception of the super glyph)are basic 'Y' glyphs.

There are also 5? other glyphs like glyph A http://subculturelifestyle.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=324

By the door.

Why would Bungie have 6 glyphs? If there is actually a secret Sword, then perhaps there is also an extra secret glyph, to make 7.

About the checkpoint thing that somebody was talking about earlier(that you get a checkpoint at certain glyphs), perhaps you have to find all of these special glyphs (and maybe a secret 7th glyph), then you go back to the empty Sword place and the Sword will appear.

Maybe I'm just crazy, but this is interesting.

I think you should read all the previous posts.
Might give you a bit of insight into whats going on here.

The checkpoints could pertain to the opening of Grey closed doors.

Someone said shooting the glyphs with a carbine makes a sound... If thats true its probably the key. I bet you need to shoot them to play the ODST theme.
