To play or not to play....

Youknow I went to that Kikowani station level again last night. Curiously enough if you go back in theatre mode you can swim in the water. You can not see much as it is all dark.

If you go around where the lights are you can see some of the buildings are textured even under the water. Now this got me thinking. Either you need to go under water, which you can not do without dying. Alternatively you need to go to that level BEFORE it floods.

The time index in the controller might be a clue but I haven't figured out how it fits in and how to get to that level any earlier.

Just as a bit of a note. I was suspicious of the flooded area when I first saw it I remember thinking what would it be like without the water. But alas it was just a thought.

Waffles with Maple Syrup...mmm...

I had a strange occurance at the stonehenge: I went there and I picked a tri-glpyh. I looked in the direction of one line that led me to another tri-glyph, etc. after a while it lead to one of the white lights on the ground. As soon as I looked at this light, an ominous, percussion heavy music started playing. I freaked out and ran around the corner into The largest covenant group I have ever seen on Mombasa Streets. There were about 20 grunts, 8-10 brutes and 10 or so jackals.

One of these happening by itself may have been co-incidence, but both together makes me think bungie wants us to keep away from the stonehenge.

That would have made my day if it happened to me :). I love a good old HARD ODST fight.

that is crazy if it is real

Well I intend to read all of the posts but I skipped to here because I had an idea and I had to get it out here so here it is.

What if the Y shapes are supposed to mean peace? They look like the peace sign except they are missing the circle but there are some that are just circle's so that could mean that they don't have peace because they aren't whole. They are also above or around dead Elites so maybe the engineers or whoever put them there just want peace because like we know engineers are peace loving creatures. Just thought I would get that out there.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

I was playing ODST today, trying to get audiophile and good samaritan. Since i started from the very beginning, the majority of new mombasa was locked. I went inside some building to find an audio log, and there were a bunch of open doors leading to different areas. One had an invisible barrier, but another just let me walk right out. There were no lights at all, and no covenant or anything, so im wondering if there was anything else there. I probably should have checked it out more, but i didnt.

Hello again from the SGP!

Just posting to provide two quick updates:
1: Many people on this forum have been posting (or messaging me) about plinths. What are they!?!? Thanks to SGP member Pulse Cloud, we have the first version of a Plinth FAQ here.

2: ZOMBIELITES! The dead have risen! Check out the current hot topic here about a new discovery made by the SGP KIDZ. For those of you who are still carrying a torch for beating up elites in the hopes that they might unlock a secret, we actually have some progress in that direction.

Keep at it, everyone!

P.S.
@r c takedown: you bumped the district.

  • 12.20.2009 4:43 AM PDT

*yesss* for SGP!
I'm really looking forward to the secrets that may be unlocked through this.

  • 12.20.2009 1:57 PM PDT

You have 24 hours to live....what would you do?

You know, ODST is the first time since Combat Evolved that I have taken an interest in the Halo cannon. All the glyphs, dead cov, and the audio log story of that girl are all very intriguing to me.

Also, while playing through the story I couldn't help the feeling that there is so much more to it all, that I was missing so much. I look forward to seeing what the community can come up with, I would like to do some more exploring to figure some things out but I just don't have the time to wander. The little time I have to play I need to spend in a more focused way.

ok so about the gliph linked to opening the security door...i just tried it on co op with my frend and i looked at the wall where the glyph would be because it wasnt there, and the door still opened. could this just prove that its a glitch?

Wow. Those dead elites coming to life are incredible. I'm suprised you found this before I did. My friends and I were fighting with nades by those Elites last night, and nothing happened.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

How on earth did i bump the district? I seriously dont know what i did to open those doors.

Has anyone been in there before? If so, what did they find?

Also, i've been experimenting with power cores to boost me up onto rooftops, and some are accessible, others are not. Mostly i've found invisible barriers preventing me from going any higher.

Si vis pacem, para bellum

I don't know if this is just a glitch or something intentional, but when you go to the Stonehenge circle are you able to kill the two engineers you see there? I tried almost everything humanly possible to kill them, but they just wouldn't die. Makes me think that the engineers have something to do with unlocking the secret of the circle.

Yea, you can kill them. they just have to be seperated from eachother so that they connot supply oversheilds to the other.

i've spent the last 4 days reading, rereading, and reasearching things on this forum. all while odst has been paused on my tv. its depressing to see the downfall of this thread. at first it was organized and people would post intelligent posts. now, like the guy above me [quote], people are just posting bs posts

  • 12.22.2009 9:28 PM PDT

all this was def. worth the 4 days of no sleep. i have a feeling that more sleepless days are comming and as master cheif said, "i think we're just getting started"
