In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

March 3, 2553

About the glyths after i studied them for a bit, have you guys ever considered that they are maps?
For the one with the super intendent in it. It shows 3 of them in opposite directions, this is possibly showing the direction on the SI stations where weapons and life are?

The others are maps, showing different pathways, weapons etc.
It has been months since ODST was released, if you were really catching onto something, Bungie would have given something away.
And they did state that the last Easter egg has been found, which was Marty
SO END OF DICCUSION

you mean the last BIG easteregg

what i don`t get is how the zombie elites work only with elites i`ve tested on many other dead covenant and UNSC but nothing only elites that makes me think why is it there

just so you know i was the first to find the zombie elites and i still can`t figure out why it happens

Proof? Didn't think so...But I could look into it.

It has been months since ODST was released, if you were really catching onto something, Bungie would have given something away.

OR maybe they just want us to solve it by ourselves...

And they did state that the last Easter egg has been found, which was Marty

It was sad to hear them say it, but...

SO END OF DICCUSION

...I, at least, won't stop this. Not before Bungie says it's nothing, or the real reason is found. YOU can NEVER make me stop!

In other news...

I've been wondering that too...Why does it work? It works only for Elites, and ONLY IN ODST, even though the game engine should be the same as in the Halo 3...weird, huh?

just so you know i was the first to find the zombie elites and i still can`t figure out why it happens

Yeah, you were not. Don't try to steal others glory: It was first found by ODST Glitcher ("The searchbar XD" in Bnet). Unless you have some proof of your own, back up, man.


ALSO:
I was able to get trough the Barrier on Mombasa Streets, and I roamed free in Theater...So when I'm high above the Game Area, and look down, I see this.
Hmmmm, familiar Y-shape? Coincidence?
Or is it? Perhaps not the most perfect match, but close, reeeeal close...

Go play halo 3 campaign, find a sword and a marine, then kill them marine and put the sword next to him, you will notice that the sword is almost 3/4 his body lengths, Ellites are big, like 2 feet taller than spartans, the weapon may have been in the game (like you said) in the early stages, but when they saw the size comparisons, they just didn't fit, and they cut it. And where the ellites were, maybe was where you would pick up a sword, we will never know

And i know this because you can NEVER give a sword to a marine in any campaign for halo, they are too big for marines to use


Yeah, except for the fact that if the sword is too big for a marine, then a grav hammer is way too big for a marine, and the ODSTs have no major issues with waving those around.

  • 01.18.2010 12:37 PM PDT

wow. did you ever think the brutes might have ever used energy swords?

well considering where they are found(right next to dead elites) and that there is no canonical reference of brutes ever wielidng energy swords, no i din't think of that.

Has anyone tried making an elite zombie while it's sitting on top of a sword handle? Dunno, just a guess. The engineers in stone henge areas are the only ones that can survive without brutes. So maybe you have to make them do something special? Kill all engineers at all henges? I dunno, I'm going to try it on Mythic difficulty.

(First of all was on 1 wk holiday and Two Mozilla didn't like bungie.net for a bit so that's why i was away)

It's a good theory but don't the enemies and everything reset when you go through a "Route Open" door or a door that leads into a new area? hence the "loading" part, no offense i think it's really quite plausible, i will be looking into this....

Here.
"G4 Reaction Time: Bungie reflects on Halo 3 ODST"
The third last question:
G4: Are there any hidden Easter eggs that readers still haven't found that you want to spoil here -- or at least point everyone in the right direction?

JS: Players recently found the last big one -- and egg that changes a certain piece of music our Composer, Marty O'Donnell, likes to hide in every Halo game into something much more...danceable.


So Dancing Marty was said to be the last big Easter egg. Sadface.
It very well could be: They had little time in the making of the game, so maybe they didn't include any bigger secrets.
But remember: they also said:
But there are always smaller treats to find. Folks looking forward to Halo: Reach would be wise to pay particular attention to the license plates on New Mombasa's "Genet" coupes...

Register plate references to Reach have been found already, but perhaps there are more "small treats" to find? Perhaps this is one?
Or, it could be that they are just not telling the whole truth.

Thanks imppa now I can finally rest. I love Easter egg hunting, but hate to waste my time. I believe I found a few in Halo 3. Not sure if I'm the originator, but I was still just as happy to find them anyway. I only hope Bungie puts some good ones in Reach. Finding Marty was fun. I look forward to hunting in Reach too. I cant wait for the Beta. I just drool when I think about it. Well guys if you are still looking for the sword follow imppas link. By the way I did try the zombie glitch at the sword hilts. Nothing happened. Sad face. I think the QTA 12 6 refered to to Marty's hands in his dance move at 12 and 6 o'clock.

at cameo_cream: go play the storm on halo 3 and save some of the builders by blocking off the exit which i was able to do i forgot if i saved the film though but you can give them any weapon whatsoever including a sword

  • 01.19.2010 11:46 AM PDT

If you can find a sword, it would be awesome. However, i doubt you would use it...... I think being able to use an energy sword would be a big easter egg......Don't you? It's like bringing in a new weapon, in a way. The ES is probably everyone's favorite wreapon, so they might...

We believe that the universe is unbounded: this is not the same as infinite: the 2-D surface of a sphere, wrapped around a 3rd dimension, has a finite size, but has no end. If you start off in a given direction on the surface of a sphere, you could return to your start point without having to turn around -- you simply go all the way around. But wouldn't that mean the universe has an escape velocity like the earth?

Posted by: u aint tuffenuf1
wow. did you ever think the brutes might have ever used energy swords?


Well that would break canon. And I quote from Halopedia

'The Energy Sword is the signature weapon of the Sangheili, and has been part of their culture since the Fourth Age of Discovery, the Sangheili pride themselves on their skills with this weapon, and the Sangheili believe that it is honorable for a Sangheili to fight, and die by the sword. The Sangheili are also very strict on who can be trained in the art of swordsmanship, only Aristocrats are permitted to wield swords and that sword-wielders are no longer eligible for marriage; however, they may breed with any female they choose, married or otherwise, to ensure successful transmission of "swordsman" genes.'

Basically the Energy Sword is the Sangheili native weapon, and is therefore only for Sangheili

There are still smaller Easter eggs to be found. I have been looking for fun, and found a few more. Check out my file share. There is another one off map egg that I am working on now. I think it is the fist with lightning bolt thing Bungie uses. Don't know what its called. I found a small face that is next to a pic of what looks like a cloud structure. The pic is similar to the Spartan cloud egg. I wonder if the the blue face is a Spartan face? Have a look at my file share, and comment.
