Subject: Unlock the secrets of ODST (Glyph, canon and Egg hunting!) Renewed...

I would like to bring up two things. The first is conjecture, and consists of me saying that the Covenant Lanterns were first seen in Halo 3, on the Ark, as a way to direct you from one to another area. So maybe the lights in the closed off areas direct you to something. I noticed that the Engineers seemed to be floating over one, and the Carbine lying near the Stonehenge seemed to be pointing towards one.

Next, I noticed that one of the Triangle Glyphs (that have either nothing or more Covenant/SI glyphs) had a sad face Super on the top part, pointing downwards.

I had posted this on the previous thread but for what its worth here it is:

"I've been following this thread for a while now. I've been reading to see if anybody has already posted what I'm about to post. If this is the case then sorry but here it goes:

I was looking at full map of New Mombasa. Has anyone noticed that the following pairs of sectors are nearly identical topograhically?

Sector 8 = Sector 3
Sector 5 = Sector 4
Sector 9 = Sector 0 (with the exception of a few blocked areas)

Based on this link: http://i85.servimg.com/u/f85/12/85/34/94/nm_sec10.jpg we can assume that Sector 1 is identical to sector 7. Sector 10 can't be paired with any other sector (unless there was an area between sectors 2 and 5)

Is it possible that the these inaccessible doors are triggered by switches (wether it would be glyphs, keypad, stone formations; you name it) located in its sector counter part? Or was Bungie too lazy too make unique sectors for the city?

I havent actually tested out this theory but I wanted to post it here before trying it to see if anyone else has results..."

I posted two threads about District 7 weeks ago but never caught much attention.

In the strategy guide there are 3 Districts that are clearly shown (and numbered) but they are grayed out on the map (in game on somewhat in the guide as well).

I thought it was odd that District 7 wasn't accessible.
cuz ya know... it's 7 and all...

Well I'm definitely going to be looking into this! It seems more believable than the old secret of Sandtrap.

Sorry if this has been answered, I am very much out of the loop here, but has anyone discovered the "fan pleasing" feature that occurs upon listening to all of the Audio-logs?

  • 10.10.2009 6:42 AM PDT

Add this if you're happy that Team Snipers is back and would like it to stay.

Could you get a few pictures of it? I plan to put in an Easter Egg section when enough of them are found.

As far as I know this event has not been witnessed or recorded. Nobody here knows what happens as far as I know... But I seem to remember someone saying nothing happened when they were finished listening to them. But I think in the tease video it says you have to find all the Audio-logs in one shot or something only in mombasa streets, AKA excluding the Data Hive log.

A point I'd like to bring up about Sectors potentially being blank. Upon coming up to an enterable Sector door you get a load that briefly can freeze your game, which shows evidence of things loading. They obviously wouldn't have every guy walking around in every loaded Sector at one time, my point being that maybe glitching in to the Sectors might not show us anything more then its unloaded state.

Interesting I thought.

Oh, does anyone know how to get into the room specified on this map in yellow: http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n47/zackmollhagen/Glyphs.j pg

I know. It's one of the best Halo's to date.

Definitely, it's at least in the top 5.

Paradigm, thank you for the link, it has what I saw. This is the circle I found, and it randomly appears and disappears every half-hour or so. This is it, at the bottom-right of Sector 8.

I took a look at that pic, and I remembered reading how someone said the y's represent covenent ships or something. Maybe the circle represents the Earth or another planet??

I cannot remember precisely where, I think the border between Sector 4 & 6. There are a bunch of dead Elites including a Spec-Ops one, and present are the triangles also without the glyphs. It seems to me that they represent the Elites, although this is purely conjecture, they are exclusively found when dead Elites are close.

It's quite possible, watch the tease video in the resource section to read about clues Bungie left for us. According to them the glyphs tell stories. As I look at the picture it seems to depict them flying away, so perhaps the circle isn't Earth but instead, key ships leaving the Forerunner homeworld?

  • 10.10.2009 9:00 AM PDT

I AM THE LEGENDARY ENDING

if you look at the golden thing behind the prophet 35 sec. in you can see the Y like in the glyphs, there are ( i think) 6 of them on his golden chair thingy!

legendary ending

  • 10.10.2009 9:13 AM PDT

Maybe the glyphs will be explained in Halo 3: ODST 2. Since there's so many in the Legendary ending.

Have Recon and want to hang out with other people with it.
Then join :: We are RECON or W.A.R

The crazy marine in the one level where you are in the Safari with Warthogs. He is near the end where there is that one large Covenant thing in the circular area.
He says stuff like were the prey and the covenant are like lions.

I can't tell which are District 7 and which aren't... Could you label them a little more specifically?

What can you tell me about this? Location, where it was, how you got there, and if anything looked signifcant?

How Exactly did you get in that location? I'm dying to search in there.
btw I will attempt watching some engineers in a moment.

Good luck on finding anything, see if they do get up to anything, which I doubt. Then try to interact with them, maybe by enticing them to fix something... That's about all we know for certain they've done in regard to humans.

Good idea. I'll try bringing over a mongoose with me.
