A banshee in firefight is possible, you have one person shoot it with a plasma pistol so it's immobile. Then you need to kill the driver by shooting his feet. You can enter the vehicle then.


Nope. I wondered about this too so I decided to test it. I put one guy in a banshee and shot him with various weapons. A few did no damage to the player (sniper rifle) and others killed the banshee before the player. At any rate it was impossible to extract the player from the banshee without destroying the banshee or hijacking it.



what about if you hold RB so when the driver dies you quickly get in it kind of like the wraith glitch and the in destroyed vehicles on H3

worth a try

guys check this out. I triangulated the stonehenges, found some circumnavigations and equidistant points over and over again. I got circles. I then reflected it over a line. Check the circles and see if they're in them. The red ones are the ones I'm talking about. Check them out! Criticize if needed. Search.

OK yeah i get were your going with this math stuff. So what your saying is we need to search where the red circles are? But even if you are wrong there has to be a Sword Hidden in Mombassa somewhere right? But how to find? Mombassa is a massive place. But Bungie would have hidden it somewhere where players could find it, not make it impossibly hard to find like atop a building or on Master Chief's elbow or anything like that right?

Looking to hook up with some competent players! Please PM me if you want a decent team mate, looking to learn from good players and impart what I know to the team too. Im sick of going 'randy' and getting betrayed for the sniper etc.. and having to put up with BK team mates

Notice how the glyphs are y shaped? Well if you look carefully at the city map each segment of it is in a Y shaped configuration especially from the city center. This must be directly proportional to the glyphs. Each glyph looks like a position on the map (those strange shapes in each triad of the Y section). Perhaps if someone has a four way coop and is present at each 'site' something will happen, perhaps there is nothing to be found and the glyphs relate to something obvious like weapons cache locations or beacon points. Maybe bungie put them in there to keep people interested in the game and they in actual fact lead no where.... Has anyone directly asked bungie what they mean?

Just want a place to hang out and talk about video games in general? Try these guys!

For information about my GT, "bjb yo," or the Linked account here on B.net, "Nub Cutter."

You want to ask Bungie what they mean? Oh, I'm sure that'll work... Why has no one thought of this before???
But seriously, I think Bungie said that they depicted forunner ships.

Yeah Ive seen the used sord hilts in the first mission. Apparantly theres a BR too that gets dropped by a police officer over the side of a building. Maybe there's even a BR hidden out there?

what if we had three players in the middle of each stonehenge.ima get on in about 30 mins,anybody want to try this add me.GT:MACkunaguero10

K I might believe a BR, and that you could get it but if you all would remember during both H2 and H3 you cannot give a Marine/ODST a sword during a weapon swap thus suggesting that the Marines and ODST's can't use the sword due to lack of knowledge/skill. Spartans are trained to use whatever is lying around as a weapon. Now yes the sword could have a simple button/switch to turn it on and off but then that would mean anyone, including Grunts(hang on..) could just pick it up and start going nuts with the thing. But if after an event like say The Grunt Rebellion forced the Covenant to restrict the use of certain weapons to certain groups, by say a biometric sensor that would detect the Elite bio-pattern and enable the Elite to turn the sword on. Now with all of the equipment in the MJOLNIR armor systems a simple biometric replicator wouldn't be that hard to install (note this is 514 years from now). Now some of you may remember that John Forge picked up a sword during his fight with the Arbiter on the Forerunner Shield world, however the Arbiter had already activated the sword and dropped it when Forge shot his hand with about half a clip from an M6.

That's my 5 cents

Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because Bungie kicks ass.

Did anyone else notice, that in KujiGhost's post, in the first link, the Elite in the picture is holding a weapon similiar to the ones on that paper in Buck's mission?

  • 10.20.2009 2:18 PM PDT

What paper is that? I'd be interested it seeing a screenshot of it if you have one.

I can't get a screenshot right now, but look through this thread's other pages. I am sure you will find it. Check around, If my memory serves me well, the 30's.

Im sure this has been discussed for I am late to the party and do not feel like reading all the back pages, but......

Im not sure if anyone has noticed but there are two empty sword hilts. One on either side of the elites body.

The sole fact that the hilts are centered perfectly under the word Believe written on the wall is enough for me to be a little curious.

There's a fine line between not listening and not caring. I like to think I walk that line every day of my life.

We should make a group dedicated to finding the secret of the seventh column(s).

Tomorrow I will go through and attempt to find the easter egg. Ill also make a map of those locations.

There is a group, though not at Bnet. Gohere, The ODST Secret Glyph Project Forum, if you really wanna get this stuff done. Lots of smart guys there.

My troll sense is tingling.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but if you go to Kikowani Station (not sure if it's anywhere else) and go to the part where the gate gets jammed, there will be a small room off to the right. On the screen in the room, is a symbol that looks very similar.
