Dude, I'm a new member, and I cant (And don't know how) to send messages! So I'm sending this to you and a few others... I KNOW WHAT THE FORERUNNER BUILDING IS!!! I KNOW IT!!! I CANT BELIEVE NO ONE ELSE DOES!!! This is not just me rambling on and on... I KNOW FOR A FACT, without a doubt... In one of these messages, Franky said that TRUE Halo fans may recognize what exactly the structure shown in the E3 Trailer is, AND I RECOGNIZED IT!!! Its been a LOOONG time since I've read the books, but in what might of been the third one, Master Cheif (John) Spartan 117, WHATEVER YOU WANT OT CALL HIM, his friends Sam, and whoever it was (His designer and a few other people like the sniper lady)... everyone was looking for something underground... and it was deep under ground... A FORERUNNER ARTIFACT THAT THE COVENANT were going crazy over trying to find... It had something to do with Slipstream jumping and it made it faster... I think, REMEMBER WHEN IN HALO 2 when they make that jump so close 2 the city... THE AFRICAN CITY!!! They were suprised they made it... They made it because the little crystal thing is burried under the ground... anyone who has read the books a thousand times like me shoudl recognize this!!! Think about it if you've read it even once... The bright white light, domed shaped... EVERYTHING FITS! The covenant were able to track the crystal before, and they must have found the crystal thingy because of the jump we made so close to the city!!! I just cant belive I've found this, and I'm in the middle of reading the books again to find out more information, and re-assure whaty I'm saying... If anyone knows more about me now that I have mentioned this, please tell me NOW!!!! E-Mail me, reply WHATEVER!!!! I NEEEED to know... (Also, I apologize for my spelling mistakes... :( I can't spell at all...) PLEASE POST MORE ABOUT THIS AND SPRED IT AROUND!!! I just created this account so I could spread the news and I don't know how to work anything, if I even can do anything other than reply for the first 24 hours... I just couldn't wait!!! If there is any confusion about how I will better explain later) GET THIS PUBLIC!!! I WANT IT ON THE NEWS TOMARROW!!! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GOOLE THE STORY PLOT FOR HALO 3 AND HAVE THIS COME UP!!! ANOTHER THING!!! CORTANA IN THE TRAILER ISNT CORTANA, thats why she looks so different. She is Dr. Hasley, and thats why she says, "I know you, your past, your future..." DUH!!! She is trying to warn John of what exactly he is looking at and how powerful it is!!! She is telling him to grab it! And she is trying to say that he might die (Or will die) getting it, or destroying it... just like that marine did when he blew it up in the book (The third one I believe)... AND ANOTHER THING! The third book didn't really mention when it took place in corispondence with the Halo and Halo 2 games... I THINK IF THIS ISN'T ANOTHER ARTIFACT LIKE THE LAST, THEN IT MIGHT BE THE FIRST!!! AND Dr. Hasley is contacting John, like she did in the book! THE MIGHT BE A GAME BASED ON THE THIRD BOOK, which would also explain the new, or old, armor.... SEND ME REPLYS AND GET THIS NEWS CIRCULATING!!!~

For some of the non-game based hints like 3 down, google is best. Also, It doesn't hurt to ask someone else on this post if you're stuck. Either way, be a sav and play the oldschool games. Marathon's now free you know. http://trilogyrelease.bungie.org/ [Edited on 5/15/2006]

What about the RvB clue, is that "inside"? Why would it matter if the clues were "inside" jokes anyway? This is meant to be a test of your Bungie Aptitude.

I just crumpled my print out up, burned it, and peed on it

I can't get it!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bungie BLows me BUNGIE SUCK BALLS FRANKIE UR -blam!-[/quote] I'm assuming you were dropped on your head as a child, then thrown don onto the ground after being picked up. Seriously, what is wrong with you? Do you feel cool that you can insult someone over the internet?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bungie BLows me BUNGIE SUCK BALLS FRANKIE UR -blam!-[/quote] What the hell is your problem??? If you hate Bungie so much why are you bothering to post on here???? Are you angry cos you cant beat Halo 2 on normal? Is that why your angry with Bungie? you poor motherf****r. I hate your kind!!!! Anyway, I'm kinda in the dark of the Bungie stuff that isn't halo based on this crossword, oh well. I'll try using google or something.(is that against the rules?)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wiesenskotsegger Evry one thinks im a "modder" but i dont know what that means can someone tell me :( [/quote] Yeah, modding means that you can modify certain games to do what they weren't designed to do. One of my friends is able to mod his Xbox so that on Halo, he can shoot rockets out of his pistol, walk on walls, turn the marines into elites in campaign, or do other weird stuff. Xbox Live won't let you play with a modded Xbox.

I feel like killing myself.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AI274 STORM yeah, i noticed that you are a moderator and just want to know if HALO 3 is coming out for regular xbox[/quote] Moderators do not work for Bungie (except Shishka, but his work there doesn't include moderating). But to answer your question: halo 3 will be released on xbox 360 only.
