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

just trowing this out there...

Picture

i found this picture of all the weapon files in the first level.
there is nothing about the sword but mysteriously there is a file of a security camera in the weapons sections.

maybe its a codename. maybe its a clue. maybe its nothing.

again just throwing it out there.

Maybe there is another clue to the sword, in all the games Bungie put a secret grunt at the end of the campain, if maybe we can find a certain grunt that says the location of a sword in campain.

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.

Honor Light Your Way, Our Blood Shall Forge A Thousand Generations!.

Er, as for the security camera thing . . .

I don't know if you've noticed, but there's security cameras that watch you all throughout New Mombasa, controled by the SI.

I'm sure it's nothing.

i have seen those Y shaped symbols all over the city at night but pertaining to the medals to find/unlock the sword in the game it might contian several complicated steps like the Meg easter egg in H1

Luke has a good point. Either a long step chain OR theres something you need to do with a vehicle to get to a certain area, much like sneaking a banshee past the tunnel in order to obtain the Scarab Gun in H2

It wasn't too bad really as long as you used the sputnik skull.

I miss the days of Halo 2.

There are no swords in the game. We have clarified this no haven't we? Didn't we switch over and turn this thread into a glyph hunting easter egg thread?

Yeah you missed the pilotatble scarab on about page 32.

I was thinking that those glyphs look a little like the askalon symbol, maybe on the last level if someone can manage to hyjack a Banshee and then Fly to the top of the askalon building. There might be something interesting up there. Also keep up the good work guys and maybe we might go down into Bungie history as to finding the biggest Easter Egg ever!

Just thought I'd add a little input to this.

While you travel around the city I have found that the glyphs often point to objectives. While more comonly the superintendant points you to these, there have been some glyphs that pointed me in the right direction.
But when you come to one of these important areas where there have been strange pillars, they are often surrounded by or covered in thes filled or empty Y shaped glyphs.

I have the impression that these are used to guide the captive engineers, or made by the engineers to document their search.
Being the super inteligent bio engineered race that they are, they have a way with technology. Maybe these pilars are more directly involved in some chain process as we have seen in the past three games. One cannot forget that the task of obtaining the IWHBYD skull required multiple steps done in a precise order.

I am optimistic that you are on to something.

Just an idea but the random event on Mombassa streets when you get attacked by a Ghost (and can board it) maybe when you control a ghost you might be able to reach areas. (I have used the ghost but focused on finding audio files, it's very speedy)

i love conspiracy like this! The symbols have got to mean something.
