Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

I have blown the Engineers up in the two areas. I have blown just one up or none or both on different occasions. I haven't noticed anything odd either way. I did notice they seem to react when you first take a mongoose into the area. I tried using the mongoose to ram the walls so it sort of goes up the wall a bit. I was figuring I could climb the wall or something. Alas I couldn't do it.

Unless they recognise the mongoose in some way as per my engineer theory. Hmmm I still think you have to get up onto the second level somehow.


Here's a couple of things to try.

1) find an elevator/jump glitch on co-op with a friend.

2) park the mongoose in the center of the stonehenge thing and leave it there and watch from a distance (maybe they'll try fixing it)

3) stack some mongooses and have 4 players on co-op and stack everything to get up higher.

Just some things I thought of doing a couple of seconds ago.

In the stratagey guide it frequently states there are 8 supply caches while we have only found seven. What's more only 7 supply caches are listed in the guide despite this.
As a possible theory I believe we must get par score on every level including mombassa streets for some reason. I mean we got achievements for it in halo 3, mabye they will reward us differently for it in ODST.

Hi all, great thread and great work,

Over the last 2 days I have read every post in this thread, I would love to help out and now that I am caught up on all the information I am going to start investigating the streets. If any one would like me to do something specific or wants/needs a hand to work on some of these theories I would love to help.

I will post anything that I find out, if you would like an extra hand my GT is Captain DUI.

Good luck all

I went to one of the stone henge areas excpet there's actually nothing there, it's just grass and trees. I jumped into a tree and I got a Checkpoint. Probably just a coincidence.

Video Logs add content to the game. Recall when you are fighting through the Covenant to reach Captain Dare? If you have collected all 30 audio logs, the one New Mombassa police officer will follow you down into the levels of the data core instead of being killed by drones. He says something about checking on something, which is to see if his men killed Dr. Endesha by the orders of police commissioner Kingsler. Then the officer turns on you saying "you know too much" and attempts to kill you.

You know, atarigen and I have been elevating to new areas (and old ones). We have definately made progress:

Tayari Plaza: At the first meetup with the marines, go left into the buildings door up the stairs, and just before exiting to outside, the SI says "School Zone. Slow down. Bill past due." Although this is not "new" information, the next part may be. While advancing up a door was unlocked, which we previously had not noticed. An LCD screen displays static in the room. Continuing to the uppermost catwalk, one may stand in the corner. If the volume is load enough, one can hear a string orchestra playing with some keys and a low hum. Furthermore, atarigen heard a music event when he picked up a nade next to the dead marine. (Possible Coincidences, I know.)

Mombasa Streets: It has come to our observation that one district (I believe 5?) has some interest: the district with a giant arcing piece of the space tether has three elephant garbage trucks. ONE of these is lit up and active. The tether appears to lead to a rooftop from nearby one of these trucks. When advancing all the way left, glyphs and one dead elite may be found near the large door. While walking parallel to this on the upper level next to the garbage truck, a "MAGICAL FLOATING LCD DISPLAY" is near the wall as if a Medstation is there. There is no med station, but Virgil mentions Optican.

Mombasa Streets: It seems that all inaccessible sectors are there for loading from memory during cinematics. Why: Zone 1 or 2 has one subway tunnel with fog and lighting effects for no reason. I don't understand that yet. The ELEVATOR from Data Hive is, however, accessible in-game. We have been there and elevatored about half way up and stood on the side. It looks to be exactly like the cinema scene, so we believe it serves no active purpose.

We are currently experimenting with elevators to off map locations. Any important finds will be shared.

EDIT: atarigen was recently temp-banned for asking Shiska about QTA XII/VI in reference to "Quicktime Application released in December (12) about six new spartans (6)." Hm, I wonder how much they don't want us to find out... Bring it, Bungie. We'll find your secrets eventually. :P

Hello, and gooodbye!

I have just beaten the par score for mombassa streets and found nothing new, except when i finished tayari plaza, there were huge groups of covenant (4-5 brutes with an engineer, 4 jackels, and at least 6 grunts in each squad) now im putting this down to the fact that, to beat the par score i had to clear each sector at least twice. Now i might be wrong, so to make sure im going to boot up a new campaign tommorow to make sure. Also im not sure if i have beaten par on all of the missions yet so im just going to check and if not i will be doing so tommorow and will report back any new findings!

Hello, and gooodbye!

xXGuydoXx, in response to one of your earlier posts about doing kikowani station with all the skulls turned on, i did so while i was away for christmas. when i was done i posted on the forum about there being nothing new i found and that i was going to do the whole campaign like this, and got a 3 day ban! it seems to me bungie might be hiding something, what with my ban and your friend getting banned, it seem theres something bungie doesnt want us to know!

Been playing since pong, and you?

Guydo and I tried the zombie glitch on the elite with the sword hilts on Tayari plaza nothing new was noticed. However 1 level above where you hear Virgl say "school zone slow down bill past due " I did hear that funny music from squid henge. This is the first time I have heard this music outside New Mombasa streets. We also heard the single note string music there.I am going to try 12 skulls there in zone 6. I was banned for using a Bungie staff members name in a QTA 12 6 theory. I didn't mean any offense. I don't know if my comment was considered spam. I was just trying to get some notice. We are all trying really hard to figure out your mysteries Bungie. We just hope our efforts are not fruitless. Marty was good, but as you know we want more grrrrrrr.

wow. i just play the game for fun and not to study it.

Aah, i see. i thought you did something else! i still dont know what i got banned for? but as for my earlier posts iv not been able to try anything new today as iv cut my hand open, so i cant use it for at least a week. but ill be keeping an eye on this thread to keep up to speed! keep up the good work people!

  • 01.11.2010 4:24 PM PDT

I too have beat all the levels with par score yet found nothing new. Oh, and I fought that same big group of brutes, but I didn't have par score then so they must just appear after you've cleared the area a few times.

Vid, perhaps?

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

I got on top of stonehenge. nothing new there. We killed the engineers first, so maybe if they are still living something will happen.

Also, we tried to make zombie elites, but it didnt work. Which elites should we use and what exactly should we do.

To play or not to play....

Posted by: Cortland_Brewer
From seven races to six.

Grunts(1) Jackals (2) Hunters (3) Elites (4) Prophets (5) Brutes (6) Drones (7)

Seven Races.

The Elites are cast out.

Now there are only six races.

Thus my theory of why six is appearing instead of seven.


It was the same in Halo 3 yet Halo 3 referenced the number 7. 7 maybe something to do with luck. Not sure how six fits in but maybe the ODST's are not as lucky *shrug*.

@ "LUK4S"

Yes, it would be very appreciated, friend. I find this ninja-banhammering to be preposterous. Oh yeah...

Breakthrough????:

(Now, don't hate on me for this. I don't know how accurate it is, and I obtained it by a means other than playing the game. Bungie shouldn't ban me because I, personally, have done nothing against their will/wishes.) Supposedly, one of the levels/maps in the game is a BRA. Yes, I'm talking about the underwear. The shape of a level highly resembles a bra. In what orientation? I don't know. Apparently, it is claimed tht no one has found this because the community has not yet escaped the confines of the map.

...Right... Think what you will. It's up to the rest of us to find out if this is true. I think the map is a campaign level because there usually is a bit of extra cinematic objects, junk, etc. outside of the playing area...

LOL.
I can look into it. But if it's something you heard one of your friends, it's pretty surely a lie (unless your friend works for bungie). I think would've not missed information like that.
By the way: I (and others before me) have gone past the map boundaries.

This forum sucks.

Posted by: Dam Its Iceman
Im going to have to explain because you guys are not listening. In the other thread someone posted a video about, "bumping", where you can open doors to get out into the black areas on the map. The video is 100% Real. All day today I have been on here trying to do what they did and it worked. In my fileshare I have pics to prove. Also, poeple have been talking about these "glyphs", these are also key. The glyphs where therer are dead elites and the word BELIEVE is written on the wall is one of the main ones that opened the door I opened. You have too look at those glyphs, walk back (stay in the same sector) and look at those other glyphs and go back to the door. If its not open go back and kill the jackal if he respawns. i dont have a clear exact way because I was doing alot of things at once so I dont know what triggers them or not. I have been trying to tell you people to look in my file share the pics but no one is listening. i am not a troller, spammer, I am on the same page you guys are and I just so happened to do this. If you watch the vid, he clealy explains what to do.

LOOK IN MY FILESHARE^^^^PROOF THAT I OPNED DOORS



Lol I opened them, but I don't think I did that. I thought it was a glitch. Whatever, going out of the map = other doors locked.

I'm JP, and I am a nine month veteran of the Dropshock Brigade. My interests are not only in gaming but sports and hobbies such as football, hockey, airsoft, and baseball. I started playing Halo when I was four years old, and I hoping that Halo 4 will become a great game and successor to the previous halos.

this is very helpful

Right, man. Here's the thing: my 'friend' is a close personal one that is believable. The reason you haven't found this is because he got out of the map without glitches; he walked right outside. He has been to places in the game that none, if any, of us have gone. I don't necessarily believe him because I can't believe Bungie would put something like that in the game.
