Halo 3 ARG Screensavers, wallpapers, and avatar discussion

Unread post by EliteSniper177 »

well today on HBO there was a post that lead here:

http://halo.msn.com/downloads/na/default.htm

containing downloads ranging from wallpapers, to avatars, and even screen savers

screensavers, wallpapers, and ringtones are up

nothing yet on the phone wallpapers and other phone goodies

now as you can see in this wallpaper:

http://halo.msn.com/downloads/assets/Wa ... 800_v5.jpg

there is a symbol which resembles that in the 719Hz.wav file that came with server 2, and there could be hidden frames in the screen saver, so any discussion related to these items, please post here:

Update: here is the location of the SWF file, in case anyone wants to decompile it and look for clues, also note there are things on the outside that are hidden by the web page, not much, but check it out:

Update 2: Overlaying the 719hz.wav over the wallpaper with the glyph, gives us this:

Update 3: this samsung site was found, and contains files that are not on the msn page:

Yes, and hopefully the video may also contain clues.

Of note, the AR Glyph contained in most of the pictures/content is the closed loop form.

What's interesting is that a lot of the bigger pictures focus on the outer ring of the symbol. By this, I mean the ones found here and here and the third still has the glyph in it. Also the main background to the site shows the outer ring.

Again, this picture shows the outer ring again, but it doesn't in some of the others of the same design.

EDIT: The mp3 tracks are all 137kb large and 20 seconds long. I don't know if there's a technical reason for them being so small in size, but them matching exactly is weird.

Everything seems cobbled together. I wouldn't expect any clues in any of these things.

The site this seems to be from is located here:

http://halo.msn.com/Default.aspx?wa=wsignin1.0

although it appears they do not link to the downloads page yet (or not that I can find),

And remember those tracks are ringtones - so thats probably why they're short and small,


But all those images containing the glyph and what definitely looks like the image from the 719hz.wav file are very interesting

What I want to know is why the glyph is in the middle of the spectrogram discovery type thing. What's it all mean?
