Weird thing in new screenshots possibly AR?

Unread post by Avateur »

I point you all here. Everyone see the big transparent glowing thing just behind/above the first Spartan in the shot? Forerunner? Looks sort of like a sentinal/monitor hybrid glowy thingy. Could this be AR?

It appears to just be a glyph. Nothing too important probably.

Looks more like a light. Good try, but I don't think it's anything.

Actually, to me it looks like the ghost of a sentinel... maybe a Active camo sentinel??? who knows. but im not sure its a glyph, i've never seen a glyph like that theyve al been circular for the most part, why change only one? and why would a light be semi tranparent? (not flaming just throwing these out there.)

From different angles, it definitely appears to be something significant. It's almost without a doubt a holo-panel projecting an image. This map (if I recall correctly) is on Earth in the middle of a desert, but I can't find my source so don't quote me on that.

It looks nothing like a control panel when compared to what we've seen in the previous Halos. To me, that thing looks like a three-dimensional glyph.

As for the "ghost" theory, Sentinels would probably use active camouflage effectively. That thing's yellow...

Finally, onto the Ark theory. Part of the map takes place on outside walkways. Sure, on this map "outside" means "way up in the clouds", but it's still set outside.

I just don't think it's anything too important. Especially when you throw the ARG into the equation. If anything, this just shows how Bungie's trying to develop the characters and history behind everyone's favorite ancient race of superbeings.

did the prophet Truth come back to earth in a Forerunner ship that looked kinda like that?

In the 3D interactive movie of the C.Q.B. Spartan, you can get a slightly better shot of the light/projection. You'll have to work play with it, but you can definitely see somethings there. http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/co ... cqbfiction
