Since there is a skyjacker medal maybe someone should try highjacking a banshee on a level and see where that takes you?

You can't hijack banshees.

So someone found a sword hilt on Tayari Plaza? The level or just the general area as Rookie? Did anyone find anything good on Data Hive?

Maybe, just Maybe. Highly doubt it, tough. There is no ''Black'' space near the ETC medals.

Door
Coding on the door


Well, it didn't really look like a door to me, but the coding looks interesting. Sectors 2 and 7 are unexplorable, and 9 has some sections which are unexplorable. Could that mean something? (I don't have any idea what the A and B represent)

Actually, with what i know, 5 dark areas has already been explored, and the roofs of New Mombasa during the mission "Kizingo Boulevard" , and no sword was found by this way.
We have some clue that the roof's way could be a possibility to go through some dark districts (1, 2 or 7) with an automatic loading sequence, but that's not verified yet.

Here's a map of the dark areas & districts

Tepec, still working on it


Myself and Glory4Ever actually explored the area that is the southwest most part of the entire map, where there is that big curvy structure. We barrier hopped and alot of the area was deactivated even though it showed up blue on the map. Any idea why this is?

A=1
B=2
So
9+7+2+2+1=21
21 is divisable by 7. Just kinda interesting.

If they didn't see you before they attack, what would they be attacking?

Has anyone else run into access panels that are green and outlined in blue in VISR mode? The door is not outlined, just the panel. Usually blue outlines mean you can enter, but not here. It is near the supply cache in Sector 9.

Read most of this didn't feel like reading a book lol. But I don't think people are taking account for the stuff in the 30th audio log room. It seams like there brushing it off, the audio logs opened stuff in campaign so there's a good chance that room might have a hint... maybe those beeps were the hint, Im sure something is there.

I've heard of someone finding an unusable sword on the ground of New Mombasa. I've yet to find one, and they said they wouldn't take a picture of it. I don't know if it's real or not, it's possible though.

I've been following this thread for a while now. I've been reading to see if anybody has already posted what I'm about to post. If this is the case then sorry but here it goes:

I was looking at full map of New Mombasa. Has anyone noticed that the following pairs of sectors are nearly identical topograhically?

Sector 8 = Sector 3
Sector 5 = Sector 4
Sector 9 = Sector 0 (with the exception of a few blocked areas)

Based on this link: http://i85.servimg.com/u/f85/12/85/34/94/nm_sec10.jpg we can assume that Sector 1 is identical to sector 7. Sector 10 can't be paired with any other sector (unless there was an area between sectors 2 and 5)

Is it possible that the these inaccessible doors are triggered by switches (wether it would be glyphs, keypad, stone formations; you name it) located in its sector counter part? Or was Bungie too lazy too make unique sectors for the city?

I havent actually tested out this theory but I wanted to post it here before trying it to see if anyone else has results...

i found this strange glyph could it do something and i noticed that these glyphes lead to the door on the left(locked) i clipped through the door but found nothing

this is in a area just like dare`s crash site(could the glyphs unlock new doors as 3 areas i checked later were accesible but they usually are locked)
