im an average person to play halo with. im not the best player youll ever see, but im working on it :)

"change is inevitable, except from a vending machine"

holy crap. but where was he while we were fighting before the chieftain drops in?

need proof of this? watch this video and wait untill the 4th second and pause it just after buck shouts scatter. (immediatly after he pronounces the R at the end of scatter)

if you dont know which person to look at watch it until the first guy gets hit and that is the officer.

Sure, why not? Piece of a cake, right?


It's not like you just translate them. Even the hieroglyphs needed the Rosetta stone to be found.


imppa. if you read one of my previous additions into solving the glyphs you would have realised that the "Y" figure contains 3 letters (glyphs) and these single glyphs are easy to translate from halo 3 marathon man terminals.


Are you serious? There are no such glyphs like the y-glyphs in the terminals or anywhere exluding H3 ODST!
Have you ever even looked the terminals trough
When the sceer goes red and some "glyphs" appear, you can see that they aren't the kind of glyphs we are used to see.
Look at it. See?
There is no way you could translate the glyphs using H3 terminals. Srry.

To play or not to play....

Ok today I was messing about and found an area that resembled stonehenge. It is in the area where you have a sort of stonehenge in the middle of the map very early on in the game. Anyway I say that cause there seems to be a few stonehenges around New Mombassa.

Anyway I noticed a little side area where there is another stonhenge. This is not the one that has all the markingings on it though. I am not claiming the location is secret as it is well known.

The area has a wall that is a waterfall and a jackal sniper and two engineers.

Anyway early on in the game the walls were covered in glyphs and had some strange markings all over the area. The glyphs were similar to those found around dead Elites. Except on very large circle. Just a circle not the usual Virgal face. Just a circle with a heap of Y type glyphs around it.

So I got to thinking...

I thought to try and get on top of stonehenge or even up to where the jackal was sniping from. I went around that section and found some boxes and things I could move into the stonehenge area but they were not high enough.

I put some smaller crates next to stonhenge and jumped on top of them. As I tried to jump up on top of stonehenge the engineers seemed to come really close and made all manner of strange chirping noises. Not the usual noises this time they seemed really interested in what I was doing.

I could not get on top of stonehenge though as the crates I used to jump on were not high enough.

So I figured to play along in the game a bit and get myself a mongoose and try to push around some larger crates.

However when I returned later on all the Glyphs were gone. The engineers were there but no glyphs. The jackal had returned and tried to snipe me again but there were no glyphs.

I tried to wait a while and see what the engineers would do but nothing really happened they just flew around. They didn't seem anywhere near as chirpy as earlier on.

So I got to thinking something might be in that area early on in the game. I am betting you need to get up on the next level or somewhere higher up to find a cache of weapons or possibly even some more dead Elites.

The whole scenario just seemed really suspicious to me.

Oh and as I tried to backtrack to stonehenge I encountered huge waves of enemies. I mena lots of them. The largest groupings I have seen so far. They just kept coming and seemed twice as large as usual. Then I would go around a corner and another group would be there.

I should mention I was playing solo legendary.

Hmmm maybe if you play coop you can jump on your buddies shoulders and get on top of stonehenge that way. I nearly made it on my own if someone was on top of my shoulders they could have jumped up.

i doubt there is a sword in ODST but there is something very strange in Stonehenge as the glyphs only usually appear around dead Elites yet you can not find any dead Elites around stonehenge. Hence I am thinking they might be up on the upper level.

Today I drove a ghost into the middle of the six pillars and the Engineers were making a lot of noise. Then I pushed a large stone object (I'm calling it a mini-pillar) from the nearby room into the middle.
This made them go mental, schreeching and chirping and making noises I've never heard before.
Somebody should listen to these different noises played in reverse, they could be a secret words like the H3 terminal voices.
And I was thinking, since there are 'Tri-Gates' in H2 and H3, shouldn't ODST have at least one? Could Stonehenge be a Tri-Gate?
I'm going to keep my eye out for some more mini-pillars, maybe if I find six to stand beside the other pillars something else will happen.
If anyone wants to know, the Ghost in Mombasa Streets is in a rectangle-shaped area near the NMPD beacon. But it only appeared when I led a hunter into the area, so you can do that if you're looking for it.

To play or not to play....

Ghost's seldom appear when you play legendary. So far I have only obtained one by boarding it and knocking the driver out. All the ghosts I find laying around are either destroyed or unusable.

But yes those engineers do have a lot to say if you do DIFFERENT things within stonehenge. It makes me suspicious.

In SGP we call them Plinths.


This made them go mental, schreeching and chirping and making noises I've never heard before.

Coincidence. I'm pretty sure.


I'm going to keep my eye out for some more mini-pillars, maybe if I find six to stand beside the other pillars something else will happen.

SGP has found 4 plinths so far. Here's a link for the map.
And sorry to break it for you, but you can't collect them all to Stonenhenge. Reason? Complicated. If you try to bring the Two plinths from District 5 to stonenhenge, the plinths will dissappear when you get close enough the door leading to the district with the henge.

You can see from this map where the Ghost spawns.

ah i see they are different glyphs. the y glyphs are a trio of three other glyphs. and the three are different to the halo terminals.

thats crap, also, we aren't talking about 'scarab gun' we are talking about 'sword'. Anyways, we should try to do something in these stonehinges that coincides with IWHBYD. Maybe try having a man at each at the same time with a numerical sequence of going in and out of the hinges?

  • 12.13.2009 2:26 PM PDT

HEEEELO.

ODSWORDST

I WIN! lol

This post has no advancement in the finding of the sword, I just thought it would be funny. IMO

I have an idea of how to get the sword but it requires experimental modding. In halo pc whenever the energy sword hit the ground it exploded. I stopped this by unticking a box in a modding program. Perhaps you could use this process on the energy sword on mombasa streets.

  • 12.13.2009 8:40 PM PDT

the ghost that everyone is talking about are found on any difficulty and by searching mombasa streets you can find it
