did bungie ever tell us any secrets because i don`t think so

Been playing since pong, and you?

The unsoved mystery from the bungie patch is QTA 12 6
Bungie said this was to be solved

I have several ideas a coule of these involve turning on all 12 skulls. I believe the 6 represents a location. there are 2 I know of. I will be trying one later today. I will need a little help. If you are interested sewnd a riend request and watch for me online.

There are signs in new mombasa with a question mark on them. Hence I believe QTA may mean
Question to answer.
another idea is that QTA means
Quick turn around
which refers to Bungies rapid production of Halo Reach after the release of ODST

<< Winter Is Coming >>

Usually When a secret of this importance exists, Bungie quickly have leaks as in the case of crane hidden by the halo.

So, why a secret that reminder completely set have been unveiled?

I like sniping

I think is a fair bet to say that there is something still undiscovered. Bungie hides sooo many little easter eggs...how long did it take to find the IWHBYD Skull? It could be anywhere. Anybody searched the final level thuroughly yet? I have a hunch. Maybe there is something under the highway at some point or somewhere you can go at the end of the level where you must survive three waves. hmmmmm, interesting.

Everyone remember the Halo 2 Sword in New Mombasa? I think there is or should be the same exact spot in the ODST and all ya got to do is get to where you start off and go lookin 4 it, or just find a way on top of all da buildings and go from there.

Odd, according to my freind, the ability to wield an energy sword doesn't exist in the Tayari Plaza level, either. He did say that there is a weapon named "Security Camera" though.

The weapon named the "Security Camera" might be the lead we are looking for because it might actually be the sword

Feedback!

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 done a map overlay with the New Mombasa of Halo 2 and Halo ODST?

PPPPPP--POWER!

What if the addition of the glyphs and the energy sword is nothing more than an equivalent to the Legendary ending of ODST: it's just one more artistic addition by Bungie to their story? I don't want to be the kill joy here, but Bungie is awesome at including broken ideas into their games. Clearly you guys have gone way beyond normal archeological work on these sites, and to what fruition?

Well i have followed this thread since a lot of time now my gamertag is Hunter Rundas before it was ODST DUTCH PRO...well i think this is really going better than all we expected i have some information....last time i played Odst i found something really weird i was playing with my friend Nilgogo via Xbox live and we were driving around with some mongooses and we found some engineers we started following them because they werent were they should and guess what? we kept following and they wnt out of the city to one of the blocked sectors sooo we ran to get a sniper and we saw them getting into the roof or the window of a building and then some flashes of light and we thought "ha game crashing..." but then again we saw something scary...we were in one of the buildings near the opposite side of Tayari plaza and we saw some elites..we started investigating there and we heard some brutes..so we hid near some lockers..they didnt saw us but they also had an engineer and they made some blabbering with the engineer and the engineer started throwing a beam of light towards the elites tha last thing we heard was the brute leader saying "weve got it,lets get back to the...."and then my stupid friend attaked.... so thats all hope it helps...

  • 01.04.2010 2:00 PM PDT

help us win our war!

i like this idea of an energy sword on odst and i have tried the idea of following a engineers then they went through that shield thing so i went to the top of a building and noticed them shining a light at the wall and underneath them were dead elites so i think the idea of them being marmoreal(cant spell right)signs is ture but the only thing is i couldent see what they shinning light was doing i was at the edge of the platform and i didnt have a sniper at the time so ill try to see if i can do this again hopes this helps Ryankelty

I too have a magical fading code of awesome on that thingy.

just like to say that this is a very interesting thread, so SAVED and i am going to join the hunt.

also where the energy sword is when playing as buck, on the wall it says BELIEVE (7 letters) and when you go into the building that the marine suggested you use as a flanking route, there are 7 dead covenant (3 elite 4 brutes), maybe this has something to do with the sword and the symbols? also maybe the symbols are linked to the ones on the sword and possibly to the "Stonehenge"

also has anybody checked the legendary ending out?

personally, it raises A LOT of questions if you ask me.

That spilling blood idea has some truth. I have opened three previously locked doors by doing this and all have had a wepon in them. I plan on going through and looking in every nook and cranny of the place. I also have my own speculations. When I was in the stonehendge rooms, I spilled blood from every one of the corpses in the room and new glyphs appeared and glowed brighter than before. Is it that you have to spill blood from all of the corpses under the glyphs and then return to the empty hilt in the stonehendge room I do not know but i wouldn't put it past bungie. As some of the halo 3 skulls were almost unacessable it is plausable that this theory may hold sometruth based upon bungies love for increasingly hard tasks, as the sandbox skull is more proof.
Another speculation is the god sameritan achievement, the engineers are a peacefull race by default. Maybe you have to go through the game not killing one and then return to the stonehendge room with the hilt.
Again back to the dificulty. Just as how you could only access the skulls on normal maybe you have to be on a certain difficulty level to achieve the sword unlock action.
And now to the audio log part the story tells of a hong woman who with the help of a man travels through the city trying to escape. The officer that kils them is the offier that leads you to the thirtyith audio log. This is proof by him having "unfinnished business" in the room with the last log. If you lok in the corner you will see the young woman from the logs. Is it posible that the si wanted you to fnd this woman before she died and then find the sword? These are several of my theorys. I have yet to find a way to save the girl but. Will keep trying.


what do you mean by spilling blood ?
