Oh, I love this thread.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost,
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

you mean like this!


Why yes good sir, that is precisely what I meant. Thanks for the photomagrapheregery. Have you/anyone ever gotten one to open?

If this is rampancy..... what was I afraid of?

You know how the Engineers float way up into the air before they explode? Maybe if you could get one of them close to the ground before it does that, jump on its back, ride it up and jump off onto the city roofs. I really do think that something could be up there.


Engineers won't carry the weight of an ODST they are only buoyant enough for themselves, and will fall to the ground (and make uncomfortable sounds) if you manage to jump on top of them.

most of them open when you have collected all of the audio logs

My hypothesis is: "If one pinpoints the locations of the dead Elites at Night and goes to those exact locations at the Daytime Missions, then one can find the Energy Sword before it is lost through some sort of event."

Well if bungie were to remove the energy sword through an event or in real terms, update, then those who play the game not connected to xbox live, will not get the update, and will still be able to get the energy sword, if your thery is correct.

Has anyone else noticed the red square placards around New Mombassa?

In the tunnel leading to the Oni bridge there is a red placard directly above a green placard. The red placard contains a combination of letters and numbers in it reminiscent of a magic number square:

A 9
7 B
2

The green square has a picture the wide eyed SI.

Might this have anything to do with the previous stated proposal of a number/letter code?

1=A
2=B
3=C
4=D
5=E
6=F
7=H
8=J
9=A

The only other red placards I've seen have a giant F on them.

Without the explosive device yes. But they look as if they are being flown up into the air against their will so I think it could be possible.

I really doubt you guys are going to find anything, you interpret all these little things as actually having meaning, when they all seem and most likely are, worthless.

Your running circles around all this.

So Bungie has a sword medal? big whoop theres plently of stuff in the service record that doesnt match up like amount of scarab kills in firefight.

Your desire to find something clouds your rationality.

the ones outside don`t open but i`ve been thinking of bumping into them if i could bump

true/none of the supply cache`s outside the map don`t open even when you have 30 AL`s

Not all those who wander are lost,
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Yeah, I have all the audiologs and even some of the inside ones still won't open.

something strange happened

i finally bumped my way to the bottom of the map and there was a supply cache open(not the ones like in the pic) there was nothing inside and it was outside the map which was very strange

Wow nice. If it happens again try leaving the area and "unbumping" it, then loading it again in the normal way. Then head into theater and detach the camera and wait inside the cache to see if anything is there when the load happens normally.
Just an idea.

ok i`ll check tommorow

just throwing this out there that perhaps when you find the (oo) sign it unlocks certain suppy beds because when on the map it does show (oo)sign were the suppy beds are

you do know you unlock supply caches by finding audio logs right?

nice idea though

hey how about if you try to get human blood on the super glyph then see if anything has changed

What if these numbers were the same as the IWHBYD ring code?

Posted by: Actuator
1=A
2=B
3=C
4=D
5=E
6=F
7=H
8=J
9=A


Where you have to visit each one of them in a particular order, the sword would appear, such as the skull by the energy bridge.

hmmmm.... could work.

i think the reason that the superintendent said "Slow down. Final notice: Bill past due," is because the building was an apartment complex.

Basically, I make the best topics ever.

Feedback!
Duardo: This thread is locked for being stupid.
cortana 5 : It's perpetually my time of the month and I'm just grouchy.
Foman: I see absolutely no reason, either theoretical or practical, that this is not a superb idea. Excellent work, my friend.

Has ANYONE looked into the coding. Even one if/then statement could blow this thing sky high.
