I'm so confused about this whole Didact business...

On one hand, there's no definitive evidence confirming that he died, in fact he implies in Halo 3's Terminals that he will survive the firing of the array. If he was indeed at the Ark, then he certainly would have.

On the other, I'm seeing a load of arguments now saying he's dead.

:S


I personally thought he was still alive...I mean, the beginning of Cryptum makes it seem as if Bornsteller is recounting everything we're reading. Like, he's still alive and just remembering everything we read in the novel.

That's exactly what I thought. It sounds as if he's recounting the history of the Forerunners to someone, similarly Primordium does this too with Chakas.

However, it may be that the Didact is recounting this whilst he's on the Ark/Installation 04 and the final book will return to the point where he activates the Rings.

Suddenly, the argument has changed following the Terminals in CEA? I think it'd be a bit silly from a narrative point of view for Spark to be speaking hypothetically about the Didact and Prometheans when the final Terminal ends pretty ominously with the Autumn exploding, stars going out and the Didact's emblem appearing.

NOT INTO THE LONG GRASS!

I'm pretty sure the enemy will be the Precursors.

Or what would be more epic is that the Forerunners are enemies, and then the Precursors pop up and everyone has to team up against them.

No seriously. Confirms that Miranda is the daughter of Halsey.

The weight of your heresy will stay your feet and you will be left behind

i think the enemy in halo 4 might be the Prometheans

12 Halo's... wow :O

Hi Halo fans, ok i have accessed the hidden function on Halo Waypoint and i've messed with some random codes (after i out the ones in for the terminals of course) and i haven't recovered any other data and i was wondering if any one has found any other codes that recover any other data (besides the terminals)

Spark is the seventh, he's only just joining the others...

The Truth and Reconciliation terminal was the best in my opinion. I don't know why, the music was just... creepy. Does anyone know if the piece that played during the terminal is available anywhere?

  • 11.19.2011 5:20 PM PDT

I r guy who gun to teach u lesson

The Ancient Enemy we all know is the Ancient Humans, maybe we find the cure they created? Its possible some survived if they escaped the forerunners(especially since they can cure the flood)?

EDIT: Also Keyes terminal was outstanding. Exactly like the book described Keyes struggle against the flood.

Also not only was the librarians symbol shown, they even showed the Didact, which I thought was neat. SO i have a feeling the Didact is an enemy.

A poster on Halo.xbox.com submitted this new terminal video, called Threshold -

link to YouTube Threshold Video

Put this link in the OP. It's unlock able via waypoint by entering the coded sequence at the end of each video. Once you unlock all of them you can view the Threshold terminal (and all the other ones) on waypoint directly. You also get a hefty amount of cR for your effort.

But the fact that symbols can unlock terminals with pretty clearly proves to me that there are more terminals hidden. The codes can be anywhere from 1 to 10 characters long. I'm gonna comb through the game looking for anything that could be a code.

LoL didn't thought that someone would actually link all my videos here.

@ 2:48 in the Guilty Spark one, is he referring to precursors or Humans as the the 'ancient enemy'?

we know that the Forerunners and Humans fought a long war once, and that the Humans had a way to fight the flood, but it wasn't in the for of vaccine if memory serves.

Ancient Humanity made some kind of virus that attacked the Flood super cell, IIRC. The virus had been engineered by humanity to a scruitinisingly fine point so that it would negatively affect the Flood.

Basically, making the Flood die of pathogenic illness. Odd, I know.

in terminal 5 when spark transmits the distress call, if you listen closely you can here what i think might be morse code. i am currently trying to figure it out but can't clear out the background noise. it is in a sort of high pitch beeping. any help?

Do you guys think that there could be a way to translate the symbols at the end of each terminal into English? If you look at the interface to enter the symbols, there are 37 characters. Twenty-six for each letter of the alphabet. Ten for numbers 0-9. And one left for either a space, period, or comma.

if there is a way of translation, the clues to it will either be on halo waypoint or in books/games. There is not much known except that i think in ghost of onyx the symbols are words and i think they were written in 3d form.

In the terminal that the unknown ship crash lands on Halo..anyone have any ideas of what that is? Based on the music and the overall viewing of that just seemed like 343 may be implying it was more than some random forgetable occurrence. Any relation to the Halo 4 concept art ending photos, and that ship? Idk they sorta looked similar to me at first glance.

  • 11.20.2011 6:59 PM PDT

does anyone know java?
if you go into the javascript console on google crome on the terminal input thing on halo waypoint.com, it will tell you what symbols mean what, its just hard for me to understand (not good wth java)

We managed to decode the language. The center character could be a space or something like that.

How'd you do the decoding? It seems a bit simple and convenient that they'd have equivalents for the same letters as we; even other human languages don't have equivalents for some English letters.

Pretty good if it's all backed up and proper, though. Nice work.

I can't really decode that with the characters over-layed with the translation.
