SGP Task Force: Arkive / Re: sign post locations

please check out this vid around 3mins 30sec,

A-HA! So THAT'S what I remembered! Right. That sing was the only instance where the BR was in the game. What they said in the BWU was that "despite this sing there are no BRs".

I still remember never seeing that in-game, and I think I remember seeing some conversation on Bnet about lookin for it in vain, but seeing as my memory already failed me in the matter I'll leave it to that.

CIA, did you search on MS? If the posters truly are random, then it could appear in stead of some other poster after you deload the district 9001 times. And it might be in other missions too?

Would it be an idea to form a new gallery section and try to log all of the different sign posts as there are lots of images not in there??

really want to find this -

Hmm. Actually, now that I think about it, I've seen this ad before..but not in the game, no. IF I recall right, it might've even been one of those now Bungie Weekly Updates that legends tell of where this ad was shown...and that here was also mentioned that this sing isn't actually on the disc.

Not a very labcoaty statement, but, still..It feels weird to remember something like that, but I think I really do!

Also, my awesome memory tells me also that I've not seen this ad in-game. So, look around if you want, but I feel like it's nowhere to be found. :/ But I might be wrong!

What I am saying is. Signs are not limited to one thing, they can be anything in the games coding relating to the type of sign it is.

But they can't be COMPLETELY random? Can they?
I mean, I remember always after popping out of the pod and killing everyone coming back to one of these big ads that looked really omnious to me, witj the big M and a name I can't remember (funny thing, the memory). And I THINK it was always there. When I STARTED the level, that is. I truly have no idea if it was there after returning and loading it again..

I feel powerless not being able to check anything!

Atarigen, in SGP we want to go with the labcoat approach. This means that if there are finds, they have to have something they are based upon, screenshots and some coordinates preferrably, if we're talking of something in-game. They need proof, solid evidence.

So, could you, for Science, show or at least explain in detail, where Exactly did you find NER 1204?

New example: While looking at the super glyph thread which I cant find now, and the new decoding thread I was inspired to use the hint system. I started with Sadie's story circle 1 Arc 2. This is the process I started with Makupa 40786. I dropped Makupa and added prefix NR to 40786. The web search for NR 40786 lead me to interesting Avatars. I was unable to revisit the glyph thread to compare. Maybe someone could help me, as I am still learning to navigate here. Here are Avatar 1 ,and Avatar 2. To me they resemble components to the Engineer glyphs. Please tell me what you think.

I don't think there's any connection...even of they look similar in a way, neither ofthem seem to have anything that would connect them to Bungie or Halo. Also I'm still not convinced of this NER or NR or the system anyways: has it lead to Eggs in Halo 4? And most importantly, I'm truly interested to know, where have you found it?

And, uh, kind of off-topic, but...I dunno. About hinting Eggs, that is. It's something that Bungie did very scarcely (the two times I remember being the Dancing Marty and the Pelican on Reach, but even those were just "it's in this level"), and I think it was just fine. I mean, isn't it nice to find them yourself, by accident or trough hard work? Then again, I think that by far most of all the easter eggs I've seen were shown to me by my friend or youtube..I guess it's just "uncool" for a game developper to go around a and be like "Look guys! Look what cool hidden stuff here is!"

Okay, 343i is not like that, tey're cool, and in the end it's not a big deal. I just feel a bit uncomfortable about it.
Yeah, let's really leave it there. It's not a big deal, I'm just not used to it. There. /rant /offtopic

Alright, so:
Tell some more background about this NER 1204! I really am eager to know!

WST? I don't think I've seen that poster ever before! Intriguing...

Things changing seemingly by random has only ever been noticed before one the Super Tri-glyph, right?

Seeing if it changes by random or if ir depends on the way the level is started shouldn't be too hard (says the man who can't do it anyways ><)...I'm not sure if it'll lead to anything big, but at least solving how this system works could help us recreate the mythical super di- and mono-glyphs!

ALSO: WST Logo has the Y-shape! Same as Asklon, Glyphs and Destiny. O.o

I was struggling what to consider to be honest. Compass or directionthey face when you see them.

Compass would be the best, I think, as wall glyphs could be givenca direction by the compass too. But no matter, goreay job CIA! This is some good raw data after all. Did you btw include the glyphs in the armories (??, the places with mongooses and weapons?) to the count?

EDIT: Yes you did. Sorry for doubting that actually >_<

I assume hes referring to the Hints that 343i gave for Eggs in Halo 4. And trying them out in Halo ODST.
I give him credit like if that's what hes trying to do. Some things in Halo 4 appeared after a certain amount of time, and after you killed a lot of stuff. Something that could be applied if we find the correct position.

I believe that's where maps come in.

I've been very inactive on 343i's site (halo.xbox.com), so what kinds of hints are we talking about, and what kinds of eggs? I'm sorry, but I'm just totally ignorant about this stuff...and I do feel like I should've been more active there. Oh well..

No, man, if what you're saying is actually true, we might've somehow lost hundreds of posts by acodent! I don't think there are any screenshots at hand to prove your claim, so are you sure about it? And as CG asked, if you could specify a bit more what kinds of things are missing, that would be cool..

EE  probably stands for Easter Egg, but a system to find them? What it seems that you've done is google up  something and find a wedding photo and a random timelapse, that seem to have no connection to Bungie, 343i or Halo in any way..what exactly is there in these pieces that makes them so relevant? Also, where exactly have you been seeing this NER 1204? An ubiquitous thing like that is interesting even by itself, shed some light into that!

And you must be talking about the actual halo of the sun, even though I don't think it's exactly the halo in question here..anyway, why would someone be able to alter something like that? Just for an easter egg?

I think your being maybe a bit too hasty in your conclusions Atari, but maybe your answers will clear things up a bit?

That's weird, I'm sure they'd be here somewhere...:/ Not as their own independent thread maybe, but somewhere? It's the first timenI hear we'd be missing threads, but I guess everyting is possible.

And a recount will never hurt!
