SGP Task Force: The Librarians / Syncing Up the End of Metropolis(H2) and Prepare to Drop(H3:ODST)

« on: October 12, 2009, 15:26:01 »

Saw that someone posted this video on bnet, might be helpful for those of us who have been trying to visualize the timeline between the games.  It syncs up the cutscenes and plays them next to each other, very nice.

Report In! / SGP: Engineer Reactions to Weapons

« on: October 10, 2009, 21:27:10 »

Finally I have discovered something new and interesting!  At least for me.

I am currently running around the MS trying to get par (btw I've been wandering for 45 minutes on Heroic with Catch, Tough Luck, Thunderstorm, and Famine on and I only have 60000 points.  not enough patrols!) and decided to start killing Engineers to get to 100k faster.  

I walked into the S06 Squidhenge and didn't shoot them immediately.  I noticed they didn't react to me much with my Pistol out and aiming at them.  Then I switched to the Brute Shot and they both made an alarmed noise and floated away quickly.  I switched back to Pistol and got no such reaction.  The Carbine next to the dead Elite gets not such reaction.

It might just be a behavior to add richness to the "Engineers don't like Brutes" thing, but I thought it worth noting.

Theorizers / SGP: Saving the Engineers?

« on: October 05, 2009, 22:12:03 »

Does anyone know or has anyone tried to eliminate the guards around any Engineers and not have them die?  It just occurred to me that if this can be accomplished it might be pretty helpful...

I thought of this when I was in the Tayari Plaza mirror.  There was 1 Brute and 2 Engineers and 0 other Covenant anywhere around.  I sneaked to the back and found a single sniper positioned directly between plasma barrels.  I thought maybe I was supposed to kill the Brute with the sniper in one shot, maybe it would kill him and not the Engineers.  No such luck.  I then tried assassinating the Brute to seek the same effect.  No luck again.

Anyone else encountered lone Brutes with Engineers or have any luck not killing Engineers?

SGP Task Force: Ghost Chasers / SGP: Floor Glyphs and Footbridge S06

« on: October 05, 2009, 14:12:36 »

So I noticed at the footbridge near a large group of dead elites (District...8?) that there's a Simple Glyph on the ground amongst the elites with its single prong pointing towards a wall.  On the two lower prongs two pieces of newspaper cover both ends, I can't tell whats on them.  I didn't get a chance to screenshot yet, I will today.

Has anyone else seen any glyphs on the ground instead of on the walls/ceiling?

EDIT:  Topic name modified on discovering these are not unique, but I think this specific one is still significant.
