Theres a video, another star image and an "image" file that can't be opened. Oh wait, I just had problems with it. It works now. It's just a wall shot of a bump map or something.

Looking at it, it seems the forerunner style has drastically changed.........


wait wait wait whoooooa

I opened the image up in photoshop and brightened it, and this is what I got.

Ounce again full transcript of the flashing frames:

{HOW MANY BILLIONS WILL DIE BEFORE WE TURN THE TIDE}
With every world that perishes, its army grows!
{WE'VE TRIED EVERY MEASURE AVAILABLE}
{RETREAT, ATTACK, DEFENSE, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE}
How do we fight a limitless thing that wishes only to embrace you?
The atrocity we plan, the last resort:
I pray that it doesn't come to that.
{I PRAY THAT THE CONTENDER SUCCEEDS WHERE OTHERS HAVE FAILED}

Flashed Frames are in the brackets.

Thanks for the link Dane, was about to ask for it.

Love this ARG stuff...

Edit:

Oh, hello maths/physics equation of some sort on one of the images...

[FRain]

Awesome-O.

EDIT: @Rossmum

Looks like we've got some square rooting, followed by Pi. WHAT?

[Dr Nick]

It looks like it goes off to the edge, I expect we'll have another picture when the next server opens up.

Opened and highlighted in IE7.

o_O

dano you silly head, it's just one of those images that you highlight in IE and it shows a hidden picture.

[Dr Nick]

I tried that, and nothing happened aside from the image being clearer.

[Dole]

That's what's supposed to happen, lulz. :P

[DaneO'Roo]

huh?

When I clicked on the circle, It downloaded the picture, it didn't open it in a window...

[Archon23]

Thats why you open the picture in IE. :eng101:

Also you may want to add the full transcript to your first post.

"I speak to you of my intent
But intentions are eddies and whorls
And they change with the course of a stream
This stream becomes a river
And a cataract of logic and doubt
Who has the right to live?
The light with the will to create me?
Or dark with the will to consume?
Sometimes might is right
And sometimes the lamb must submit to the lion
My convictions are tested
My intentions now are fey and strange
Should I pursue a pyrrhic choice?
And rethink alliances?
And choose a new philosophy?
Right or might?
Truly I do not know
But you will, soon enough
For this is where the cataract floods
And drowns the boon of higher ground
"

O-o

[DaneO'Roo]

holy fuck

the Crow from the story of Noahs Ark anyone?

[thehoodedsmack]

holy fuck

the Crow from the story of Noahs Ark anyone?

..... eh? Explain, please, preacher man!

[Dole]

Wait, where'd that come from, Baturkin?

[DaneO'Roo]

Dam, I can't find anything on it, but after Noah was crippled by the lion, he sent forth a Crow, who refused to go, unsure of it's side, whether it was good or evil an the crow was destined to feed the prophet Elijah.

I'm not sure if that's exactly it, but I know it has something to do with that


*edit* oh hai, while I was reading some stuff, I noticed this of great significance, not sure f it's much related to that specific piece of text that Bacon posted, but:


Noahs Ark is the huge vessel described in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, book of Genesis and the Qur'an through which the Hebrew God saved Noah, together with the other seven members of his family.


So we have:

God - Supreme Being

Noah - Prophet/ Head Oracle (monitor)

Seven family members - 7 oracles (monitors)

:haw:

[FRain]

So that means that one of them might be 16807 Adjutant Reflex.

[Xetsuei]

Who says Adjutant Reflex is 16807? We don't even know if he's a monitor.

[Archon23]

But that has a nice ring to it. 16807 Adjutant Reflex.

[StankBacon]

Wait, where'd that come from, Baturkin?


it was one of the things that you clicked on, and thats what it saved.

[Kornman00]

But that has a nice ring to it. 16807 Adjutant Reflex.
a nice ring? lol, ok...

[Dole]

I don't know whether or not anyone has noticed this hidden in the middle of the Concept Art section at the Halo 3 flash site, but it seems like some knid of voice changer. What it's for, I don't yet know. Any ideas?

http://www.halo3.com/html/unlock.html

Also in the Media section, there is an Iris page. On it is a download for a "starter kit."
It's got some pictures and an embeddable .swf program that tracks the satus of the servers:

<object width="300" height="250">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo3/flash/monitor.swf "></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo3/flash/monitor.swf " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="300" height="250"></embed>
</object>

[Stealth]

that was odd.

[Rob Oplawar]

I still say 712hz.wav was the coolest thing ever. A sound that's actually an image. :awesome: I know it's nothing new, but god damn that is cool.

[Stealth]

ok that "unlock (http://www.halo3.com/html/unlock.html)" thing is weird.

[keilg2]

that was odd.
any idea as to what it is for?

[keilg2]

ok that "unlock (http://www.halo3.com/html/unlock.html)" thing is weird.

lol we posted at the same time :lol:.

edit: hay u edited it... our posts said the same thing, oh well.

[Dole]

ok that "unlock (http://www.halo3.com/html/unlock.html)" thing is weird.
I posted that first...


edit: hay u edited it... our posts said the same thing, oh well.
You edited this post and still double-posted. Why?

[Archon23]

Its keilg what do you expect from him?

[keilg2]

I posted that first...


You edited this post and still double-posted. Why?

because there is no 'delete post' button and i don't want to get in trouble for double posting without a reason

[Archon23]

Uh Edit > Delete > Delete Message > Delete this Message.

[Archon23]

Sorry for the double post but if you put your mic up to the your speakers for the "unlock" thing it gives you this very weird resonating sound. Not really sure if it means anything but its really weird.....

[Stealth]

yea, I did hear that, and I could care less about it.

[CtrlAltDestroy]

Sorry for the double post but if you put your mic up to the your speakers for the "unlock" thing it gives you this very weird resonating sound. Not really sure if it means anything but its really weird.....

Uh, it's called feedback. :|

Sound created when a transducer such as a microphone or electric guitar picks up sound from a speaker connected to an amplifier and regenerates it back through the amplifier.
