Hey random question buy does anyone know what the hidden signs on the walls in ODST that are only visible with the hud on are?

Recon armor was not gifted or bestowed upon me. I earned it through blood, sweat, and tears. Road to Recon complete, on to the next challenge. Halo 3: 1750/1750, ODST: 1000/1000, Reach: 1400/1400.

Are you talking about the Engineer graffiti? They mark areas of interest, like the bodies of dead Elites. The Halopedia page on Engineers has more details.

Can you make it clickable? Copy and pasting isn't working.

Hi Laur! <3

Those are the covenant writing system. The symbols actually translate somehow; Bungie isn't sharing, or I haven't found it. It's in Dr. Halseys journal that you get with the Limited and Legendary Editions of Reach. All it says is "this is the writing system of the covenant bastards. These, along with other symbols, appear on the Jackal's shields, and the Elite's armour. What do they mean? What is the significance of a backwards symbol, as opposed to a forward one? One Energy sword was found with the same symbol as the armour, but in reverse. Does it have anything to do with the meaning, like the Runes of ancient Norway?"
