Hasn't been mentioned here. But, it has been on other posts. It was said you get them for obtaining all achievements, but ppl that have all of them for both ODST and H3 say no. Would be interesting. However, the game was finished before the Avatar reward program was in place.


Really? I never knew that, I thought you could also get awards from doing special actions within games as well. Did Bungie ever confirm that?

a.k.a. Daishi_NRE back in the day when b.net stood for Battle.net.

No confirmation that I know of. But when has Bungie really told us the truth about such things? This thread is a good example!

What about section/district 9?
The movie district 9 were made instead of a halo movie(?)
Maybe bungie did something with Distict 9 in the game?
Idk, perhaps an eater egg?

Today I faced some weird happenings while examing those Y Glyphs. When I earlier in morning played alone I found again those Glyphs and got that Checkpoint... Done thing while in dead end alley with one dead Elite. I decided give a call to my firend if he could come to my place and help me find a door, for instance, what that Glyph may have opened. While we went once again to that dead end alley, we weren't able to see those glyphs. I was literally shocked and decided to go checkout those glyphs where are more dead Elites. And we weren't able to spot those Glyphs neither! We were playing wiht one console and we set difficulty easy and had no skulls on. Unfortunately we didn't check out stonehenge room for Glyphs. Could this somehow mean we should be investigating those Glyphs alone?

Glyphs do not always appear when playing split screen.

Today a young man on acid realized that we are merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are one conciousness experiencing its self subjectively. Life is but a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Here's Tom with the weather...

Actually, looks like another victim of a phishing scam going around Bnet. Look at the actual URL and you'll see the address is not xbox.com!

DO NOT CLICK OR ENTER ANY INFO INTO THAT SITE!!!

Looks like that user has(had?) recon too.

Key word here is split-creen, they will still appear in Co-Op, but not split-screen.

spoiler!!!

stop at 0:41 and look at the platform and that is after they made the big hole so the elites could not have made them so i am leaning to the engineers making them!!!


The glyphs aren't there in Data Hive, but the hole is.

And why is Halo 3 music playing in the Epilogue, I thought that it would all be ODST music.

  • 10.05.2009 8:27 AM PDT

I don't know if this info from halopedia would help on the glyphs but I am just going to throw it in here.

Sorry if anyone else posted this already.

I'm the Master chief

Ummmm. One minor note here. I went in to splitscreen and had my second player watch the door while I was going to look at the glyph (It wasn't there, but i looked at the place where it is supposed to be)... My second player got teleported to me and when i got back to the door it was open.. Bungie doesn't want us to know something.

Can't be too careful with your company. I can feel the devil walking next to me.

Could we have pictures of the stonehenge thingy-mah-bobbies? And a VISR overhead?

Subject: Glyphs and treasure hunting; the truth about the Sword in ODST

here is a suggestion:
try opening that door that i saw cold glider opened on his vid on the 7th of this month
try doing every thing i read about here on the 7th
just throwing out there because bungie is obsessed with 7
can't wait to see some results

WhiteCastles,Beer, and Halo3; HELLLLL YEAH BIATCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Glyphs......We have seen them before No? Think harder....what does it have to do with Halo 2 and 3? They are numbers just like the ones we saw on the bomb in Halo 2 in the cutscene : Return To Sender!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpByy8bRzyo&feature=relate d I bet we have to follow a certain order to be able to find something important! your thoughts?

I have found at least two other places in the city with dead elites and the symbols, and i think you can see the symbols in the legandary ending in odst
