i didnt do this someone else on another forum did but ill post it here

it seems that halo3.com can be analysed quite far look at this link http://www.halo3.com/images/screenshots ... ucture.jpg


The Freak:

I posted this over at bungie.net forums and someone recommended that I post here.

I started following the trail of crumbs and this is where I am at.
1. Various users reported receiving emails with the following image. http://gigapress.com/media/ar_email.png The symbol on the wall is of interest in this case.
2. Someone discovered a similar symbol suddenly visible as a reflection in MC's visor in the image located on the first page of Halo3.com
http://pics.livejournal.com/darth_hedge ... 47h2/s640x 640.jpg
Some people point out that the reflected symbol is actually on the arm of the Ark located in front of MC.

Following the clues seems to point us in the direction of the photo of the Ark as a piece of the puzzle.

3. Continuing to the Media|Screenshot section of Halo3.com we find that there is a picture of the Ark (structure.jpg)seemingly out of place at the end of the row of pictures.

I performed Steganographic detection on this screenshot and it would appear that there may be a coded message hidden using jphide. I have begun an attempt to break the steganography using a brute-force dictionary attack but the process has not completed yet.

Maybe someone else would like to join me in attempting to prove or disprove that there is a message coded in this image.


interesting!

Your third link is a bit broken there, with pg?
That sounds very cool, keep us updated, sounds like a likely alleyway.

I think this is the original post: http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=11314294 . He hasn't said anything more about the image yet... We'll just have to wait and see.
