Si vis pacem, para bellum

Check out my fileshare. I've managed to upload some pics of this. If you continue forward on the 2nd ledge you come to a large '4' sign. If you stand with your back towards this sign you will directly be facing the Asklon building. Also just made another discovery when doing all this....there are actually two; yes two Asklon buildings. The one you face on the ledge is the larger of the two. There's another smaller one right in the center of the map. As far as I can see Asklon is the only company to have two buildings on the map.

Hmmmh, thanks for that, Prince. And good find, never thought there would be more Asklon skyscrapers.
Btw, note that all the buildings you can get into (exluding ONI building) seem to belong for Asklon (posters on the wall). This and the fact that Asklon has two big buildings, may mean that Asklon is pretty big company.
Meh, not a big thing, but still. Research continues.

Hello, and gooodbye!

i have a copy of it but am away for christmas for at least another week. basicly it mentions about the different types of caches, number of caches and the fact that if you collect all audio files you unlock "something totally unique which is pure fan service" now having unlocked all files the only "unique" thing that happened was the dirty cop looking for sadies father, which was neither unique nor fan service so the article must mean something else? the rest of the article lists other easter eggs wich have all been found or mentioned on this forum. see my earlier post about the significance of the number/types of weapons caches!

No, it's quite easy with butterfly jump. Nothing but blank streets there.

There are other buildings that have the same logos. On the level where you can use the banshee and fly out you can see that several of the buildings have repeat logos.

Maybe Bungie was lying when they said they specifically designed the controller to contain clues to New Mombassa, which is essentially saying "Hey, guys! Existing in the game is something more cryptic! Go ahead and see if you can find it. Mwuhahaha!" Because when Bungie takes valuable time to announce hidden clues at PAX, you know they are just pulling our legs. xD

You know, I'm still struggling with the QTA 12/6 thing. I wonder if the 12 skulls have anything to do with it. After all, Jaganatha on the controller supposedly means juggernaut. Maybe having specific/all skulls on in Campaign triggers a difference especially on Kikowani Station. Some brave souls should try this. I'm too lazy/busy at this point.

Ah, yes, but I was talking about skyscrapes. Asklon is the only company with two skyscrapers (in the financial district/the area where ODST takes place. In the bigger part of the city, if I remember right, are skyscrapers of companies that have skyskrapers in financial district.:P)

What really makes me sick is that Bungie just lets us drive ourselves crazy with this stuff. In other forums at least Shiska gives a big yellow WAT when something is wrong.

I loled when I imagined Noble Six going on a rampage in the wraith across the burning surface of Reach.

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

I was at stonehenge, and i killed both engineers, and this really deep music started to play. It sort of sounded like the music going into a battle. Upbeat, deep, had a heavy drum line etc.

Another time at stonehenge, i pushed both dead elites into the centre of the circle, and the engineers started making weird noises, noises i had never heard them make before. They were being a lot louder than before and made a lot more sound.

Not sure if this means anything.

"i have been playin reech it is kewl game i like 2 spam armer lawk in it its fun and i win against good peopls. i plai cod alot so idk much about halo. wat is halo ce?"

I think there is a darker secret behind new mombassa. An evil greater than the covenant and the UNSC. The zombielites, frightened engineers, hidden doors. Everything in this thread seems to link to something bigger darker. It's of course probably not true but it's my gut feeling. heh.
I am following this thread intensely guys. I'm amazed how every little detail is recorded and painstakingly analyzed.

i get what you mean there has to be somthing darker and bigger i might try and find the cascino and the asklon buildings that you can get in to (maby there is a skyscraper we can get to the roof and maby a computer in it will have somthing to help us solve this or a liveing survivor thats gives informatoin?)

  • 12.28.2009 7:30 PM PDT

he who jumps highest enters geosynchronis orbit first

a few things about the last level...
sadies dad (shes the girl in the logs) was killed when the lab was flooded with argon, by the corrupt cop kinsler. How did he do this? his security staff(also corrupt) took over virgil's data center.

this explains two things
1.Why the lab was frozen
2.Why virgil said"caution hitchhikers may be escaped convicts" when you entered the core.(at first i thought i was the hitch hiker but then i saw those transcripts)



not really hidden but not the first things you could put together

Unlikely, but I would LOVE it if it would be real. ;P

Hello, and gooodbye!

iv just been playing odst and realised something. in sector 8 there is a room with 2 engineers and a sniper jackel on a ledge. in the middle theres a mezzanine with some phones and water fountains (were you collect an audio log). over to the left theres a large O glyph with 6 Y glyphs on the left hand side with 2 more Y glyphs further of to the right and this got me thinking. in audio log circle 6 arc 2,3 sadies dad is watching 6 engineers free a 7th from its bomb, now i believe thats what the 6 Y glyphs next to the large O glyph represent. i think the large O glyph represents the freed engineer who then merged with the super to bring vigil to life. my theory for this is the O symbol is excactly the same as the one on the supers data core where rookie and dare meet virgil (engineer) in the data hive mission.i think the other 2 Y glyphs mean the other 2 engineer in the room. now as for the Y glyphs we see around new mombassa they are always near dead elites, i think thats the engineers way of telling us that they were on our side, which would also explain the sad super glyph in squidhenge near dead elites. let me know what you think. i know that in oxm uk there is an article were joe staten states that "the Y glyphs represent forerunner ships etc" but i think this could be red herring to throw us off, think about it, how hard was the iwhbyd skull in h3 bungie had to pretty much tell us how to get it. besides, engineers could be a forerunner construct for all we know.
