i used the DaVinci map glitch an found an interesting sign, a white rounded diamond with a light blue upside down teardrop inside it with the word HiNOS (yes with the i) in white lettering below the symbol. with the orientation it was at I don't think it was visible from the map. I WILL post pics on my fileshare!

Yes, there were 7 rings, true. There's also lot of other things having 7, but one of them is not the henge, because the henge has 6 stones.


perhaps one must only make there be 7 stones for something to happen?

Reading all of this I got a weird idea, perhaps its telling what has happened? the symbols that are like eiffel towers? Drop Pods?
The circle? Earth, the SI..? maybe after this is figured out it may lead to something more secret. Just throwing a suggestion into the bucket.

lol

you guys have alot of good ideas. good luck finding stuff.

All i've managed to come up with is confirmation that engineers run from more than snipers (rockets too), and that the blind skull has no effect helping to communicate with engineers.

Also i noticed a glitch where killing myself in the squidhenge allowed me to see the glyphs glow when i didnt have my VISR on (at respawn). Flicking the visr on and off again stops this glow. so this is just a minor bug imo.

Also a covenant dropship flew right above squidhenge, i shot the crap out of it but was unable to aggro any far away enemies

and finally, the glyphs dont light up when the blue light the engineers shine pass over them. only visr mode and the posted above bug seemed to make them glow

"A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in." - Greek Proverb

Did the hijack Banshee and boost out of map thing, flew out to the "Davinci Code" thingy(we did this co-op) We walked back to the city from the Davinci thing(boring) and then walked around the whole city checking out anything of interest(when I say walk around the city I mean around the boarders above and outside Moobassa) about 2 hours in all.....didn't really find anything.

Has anyone found anything of note when they did this?

Time to die.

I was reading a reply earlier on this topic about finding a halo ring, its fake. The orbital elevator that you see from Uplift Reserve, turn to the left and watch the rings fall, the rings are completely identical and the backround too.

I did put the HiNOS pic on my file share. Like I said, I found it with the DaVinci glitch.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I just noticed that each of the Engineers' symbols include a surrounding circle that breaks in different areas. The symbols for the skulls do exactly the same thing, depending on the skull, the break is in a different area.

None of the Skulls appear to be a full circle, in the Engineers' symbols, only the Super Circle and any Superintendant symbols have no break.

This will lead you to a page you can see the skulls' symbols on.

Halo 3: ODST is set between Halo 2 and Halo 3, the family feud wasn't because the elites knew something it was because they were working for the Humans and the brutes were ordered to execute them all, that's why they are all dead, they're the best though so I don't know why they are all dead and I don't know where the secret grunt and elite are. The secret marine is on Uplift Reserve on the floor wounded talking about how the area is "one big cage" and how "we are the zebras", his collegue replies "and the covenant?" he says "they're the lions, rraawww!" epic lol

Quick observation while playing around. The engineers also fear my reticle while riding the mongoose, but not me when i approach in a mongoose.

Probably something to do with the ghost and banshee vehicles crosshairs being scary weapons, or maybe they just really dont like mongooses.

Haven't tried it yet, but I found this. Can anyone see if it's true?

wait wait wait so since they have symbols on the pillars what if we turn on the skulls that look similar to the markings? Would that cause something to happen?

Although that sounds promissing, it might not work, because the circle-breaks on the skulls are not unique. For example: Iron, Catch and Mythic have the break at 6 o'clock.

So... I don't know if you guys already figured this out, but the 12 Elites in sector 6 were killed by Brutes. I'm almost certain I'm right because everywhere there's Elites, there's brute spikes attached to the wall. Also, there's one place right in front of an green gate where there's one Elite dead with a Beam Rifle next to him and a dead Brute in front of him (possibly a headshot, because of the blood).

Also, where there's empty glyphs (only the three Y-shaped lines), there's Elites. They appear to show some kind of direction: the Elites they're marking. Not the down- and the up-oriented, only the side-oriented.. Maybe that's nothing...

I tried to interact with the Engineers in sector 6's Stonehenge (where there's even a glyph with a small sad SI icon). I tried lighting all the purple lights at the same time, I tried smashing them, I tried meeleing the spec-ops Elite (found nearby, under a bridge) to this location, I tried placing him and the two dead Elites in a Y shape (heads in center) in the middle of the Stonehenge, etc.

Nothing happened.

There was one situation when I walked in the Stonehenge area the Engineers were aligned (one on top of the other) and they wouldn't go anywhere, but nothing interesting happened.

I also tried bringing a Brute Spiker and shoot stuff (including the Engineers) but nothing happened either..

This isn't going well.. :)

EDIT: I did this on Easy with Tilt, Cowbell, GBP and IWHBYD skulls on.

EDIT: I played Tyari Plaza on Easy and, in the place with the BELIEVE Elites, Buck asked Dare what happened there, it looked like Elites were killed by Brutes, etc, and she replied it was confidential or something. So yeah, it was Brutes who killed Elites.
