Now I did a search for "Reach Posters" and came up with nothing so I assume this may have not been touched upon. So I will attempt to get this ball rolling.

Before I start, the following posters where found on the campaign mission Nightfall. I am posting the ones I noticed and studied to get the information and speculation out there.

Poster #1
-This is the one that struck me and got me started.
-On this poster we see four rows of nine stick figure humans. The total of this equals 36. Though while most are black, one is red. The total after subtracting this one individual is 35. Why is this important? Well because 5x7=35. A reference to seven.


Poster #2
-This one is much more simple. It says Ari Sol 59 and has a domed structure with three pillars sticking up and smoke billowing from each.


Poster #3
-Three circles that get progressively smaller in a spiral pattern. On the bottom of the poster there are four groups of 3 arrows in a triangular pattern.


Poster #4
-This poster is quite intense it has 2 important parts.
-Unlike the other poster this one shows Ari Sol 9 (note: no real space to put a five in front of the nine)
-There is a table which is as follows: (Note: X denotes that it is an indecipherable emblem)
1. ONE
2. TWO
3. THREE
4. XOUR
X. XXVE
1. SIX
X. SEVEN (Crossed out with an X)
8. EIGHT
4. NINE
X. ELEVEN
REACH APXXX
Note: I know and understand that the numbers don't go in a certain order, this is just what I saw. Also since eleven is thrown in there at the end makes me believe this is on purpose, although it could mean something.


Speculation? Any data elsewhere that I am overlooking that I should already know? Or just some silly posters?

Really? Nobody has anything to say about this? I know we aren't supposed to bump but I feel this is just getting washed out of the way because I posted it at 1 in the morning and people just be Reach hatin in every board.

I had no realization of the posters myself, but I as well am beginning my research on them. I'll edit and post as soon as possible.

Edit: Hub731, these posters are in-game or elsewhere?

Well the ones that I noted where on the campaign mission Nightfall. But these appear to be human made posters so they should be in human structures throughout the game.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll have to run through the campaign and search for them. Screenshots will be wanted probably, ha.

I'll attempt to find them and list/post screens of them as I come across them.

Would it be possible to get pictures of these in game?

I saw these posters as well in the Winter Contingency level... screenshots of the posters from that level can be found here.

I liked them so much I actually rebuilt them in vector format in Illustrator so that I could print them out. I really wonder if they are just set decoration or have some greater importance in Halo canon.

Exact science, is not an exact science.

Nice job!

Nice find!

I think i saw the stick figure one before, but havn't thought anything of it until now. Great find though.

I noticed these and wondered if they were there for any reason, or just for looks.

I also noticed a circular symbol on many of the walls in the buildings on Winter Contingency. One in particular over a closed basement door. It looks similar to the 3rd symbol next to the "Bungie Universe" banner above. This symbol is also selectable as an avatar picture for Bungie.net. It's the brown and black one if you go look.

This is far-fetched, but maybe you will get access to that basement if you have that symbol as your B.net pic?
