beating down enemies with a sword (just slashing them with the b button) gets yo a sword spree in halo 3. so could you use the empty energy sword to get 5 beatdowns?

Well, we could, but the sword is untakeable

Here are the pics that I promised:

Location
The numbers

Sorry I don't have the one with the Engineer. But I did it this time on Normal and it was there, might not want to put that much stock in them.

Also I found a second one during my second run. Of course there was an Engineer there too:

It's Behind that thing
The "code"


Those markings appear on many of the air conditioning units in Kikowani Station.


*Sigh*... Seems so. Well, thanx anyway, I'll post about this to the SGP if they have some ideas.

has anyone ever finished the game on mythic? This could be one of those 'you don't get an achievement but you do it anyway for a prize' kinds of deals. If anyone did, also try solo. Also, on all of these searches were you solo or co-op? You might have to be on mythic solo in Mombasa streets at some time. Maybe after the seventh mission???

THERE IS NO SWORD AT ALL!!!! STOP WASTING YOUR LIVES LOOKING FOR IT!

HE'S JOKING...WE THINK "I cannot use the [Energy] Sword," deadpans Bertone. "That's why we took it out of ODST "

These EXACT words are on page 60 of Official Xbox Magazine (OXM) Issue #102


O RLY? why don`t you search every area of mombasa from top to bottom before saying theres no sword


Well i don't really see why one of the DEVELOPERS OF THE GAME would lie to millions of people that subscrible to OXM

Hey. I HAVE IMPORTANT NEWS!!!
The magical wall stopped changing on me. Its the sign with 3 SI faces. I'm not sure what I did. I'll run around and go to all the other sectors and return to have it be the same. I'll even go mess around in the same sector for a few minutes as well as an hour... I returned and its the same. I'll try and look into what I did. But I dont think I really did anything is the problem...

I cant really find anything on this. So i am gonna postpone this til i can find all audio logs... that 29th one is practically impossible

I have somewhat of a life, so I haven't read through all 62 pages of this thread, so this might have been answered.

But why doesn't someone just go through the coding of the game to find the sword just like people did with all the skulls and the scarab gun, and attempting to find the scarab gun in halo 3?

SOMETHING NEW FOUND! I hope...

This picture is taken from an ODST controller. It is said the controller has clues on it. Well... The numbers right below "Kikowani" I believe is the time. Military time of course which would make sense. The ACTUALLY time. Now... Everytime you go to a load see, You see in the bottom right corner:

MBaraki
(and the time it is)

On the controller it says: 23:03:28:30
That would mean at roughly about 11:03pm something happens. I dunno what and I dunno where. But honestly... I think I might be on to something.

  • 10.27.2009 10:30 AM PDT

It looks like the artwork is related to the SI cameras in Sadie's Story.The controller does say Kikowani.0624 on it, maybe pointing to a location and time of some event that we haven't found.

i dont really think it has anything to do with the game but some of the glyphs (the on that look like a line with two other lines going off in oposite ways in 45 degree angles) is commonly used as the brake light for some lamberghinis =]

assuming no one else would i went ahead and crunched some of these numbers and these are my results (not very exciting)

All digits added together-160
Separation(ovious like 23, 03, etc.)-1,205,206
Pairs of two(06, 24, etc.)-853
Pairs of 3-6439
Pairs of 7 (4 at end because there wasn't enough)-7215514
Pairs of 7 (extra zeros added at end to make it right-11051674
Average all digits-4.102564102564103
Average of pairs of two-43.772368421052632
Average of pairs of 7-[with extra zeros] 1641945.6(repeating)
.(without extra zeros)-195013.891(repeating)
Average of pairs of 3-495.3076923076923

if any one wants to do some more research off mine feel free

Braaaaaaaains........

I have an idea, when I was at the launch party I got to play campaign. Well I started Mombasa Streets and wandered around, you see I had seen the videos on Youtube that Bungie had released of ODST. So I was waiting for the phone to ring so the SI could upload the VISR database and I didn't know that you had to kill the enemies around it for that to happen. It so happens that the guy who created some of the levels(I found this out later on) was standing there, he came up to me and told me to listen to the signs in the city, the ones that say turn left or right.(I was going the wrong way too apparently) He said it's the SI trying to tell you something, well that's obvious that the signs do that. But what if they are meant to be used with the glyphs, maybe the glyphs only make sense if you look at the signs around them? I'll be testing this on Friday.
