Choot 'em

So the numbers must be in reference to the CEA terminals. - [044675.04.21.21.34.56] But what? Alot of people are assuming the enemy in H4 and this symbol is reference to the Didact but I don't think it is. The symbol is similar but it is upside down. Didact's symbol as seen in CEA terminal - The image in the gif and at the end of the trailer has the solid hex in the center and the line is on top. With that in mind, I believe whoever is on Requiem in the Cryptum is the complete opposite of Didact...... which tells me Faber. Just my opinion. Still in all, very interesting that 343 would embed the gif on the official Halo 4 page. I am still attempting to break apart the audio. It sounds like a distress call or someone attempting to contact the Infinity. Will post any findings.

Actually the numbers are 4657.04.21.21.34.56]. Here are a few clearer frames of the gif. Frame 2............ Frame 14............ Note the intricate Forerunner symbol in frame 14. So then we can assume that the unseen numbers here are "04". 044675.04.21.21.34.56] - same as the terminal Didn't these numbers also have something to do with the SIR thread as well? Drizzy Dan or adamj???

So I was going through alot of old Halo 4 news and information today when I noticed something rather peculiar when I went to www.xbox.com/halo4. It was something that had never caught my attention before and found it rather interesting. Now I know Halo 4 has been advertised on xbox.com for quite a while now but I don't recall anyone ever posting about this information. If someone already has, then I apologize in advance for the duplication. Image of www.xbox.com/halo4 I am assuming the background to be the deck of the UNSC Infinity. Notice the 4 monitors doing there usual maintenance (3 on the right and 1 on the left). I have highlighted the monitors. Now being displayed on the screens of these monitors are 4 different .gifs playing in a random order on each monitor. Now those are just normal .gifs that are inserted in the source code to be displayed for the web page. There is however a fifth .gif not embedded in the source code which is why I'm posting this topic. A rather peculiar .gif, if I might say. I have even gone to the lengths of breaking it apart and grabbing each individual frame below. To save room, I will post as a spoiler. The .gif consists of 64 frames so I just added one of the last few images of the forerunner symbol. Then there is the background audio. http://az204726.vo.msecnd.net/prod/audio/radio_infinity_levels_v03.mp3 I do realize that this information may have been brought to everyone's attention already but it has just come to my attention now. Please feel free to discuss the images.

Congratz on making an entire year Donut!! You will always be THE shoutbox king! How you could actually play Halo and type in the shoutbox simultaneously is beyond me, lmao. I wish you the best of luck in college and am very glad you will continue to frequent the forums. Thank you for the kind words. In return, I give you these..... "The Donut is a symbol of eternity....no beginning....no ending....(unless you take a big bite, lmao)....and forever rolling in the glaze!" To many more Donut! - Choot

My vote is in!! Very much looking forward to this one! I got a clip full of Penicillin to take care of that "Staff" infection! Time to Choot 'em up!!

Take your time and get it all sorted out Aza! Hope to see you back soon!

First member to have an announcement of a new baby! It's_a_girl!!!

Very well structured and well organized Mr. Bullet! I can tell you put quite a bit of thought and effort into this. Well done!

I had completely forgotten about this map, lol! I'm not real sure if it is up at Halowaypoint but if you would like to play it, click the above link then sign in to Bungie.net and click "copy to fileshare". It should be downloaded once you sign into Reach. Thanks for the interest D4RK R3V3AL!

..... *edited with more text below as to not get reported by Mystic, lmao* Seriously though, very good interview Drizzy! I really enjoy reading these as it gives us a little more insight with the user, instead of just what we read in posts and in the chatbox. Well done!

Lots of events happening here these days. Have been away too long. Must digest................ Thanks for the many, many updates AD!!

...and then you end up with 19 kids like me, lmao!

In the presence of Greatness we are..... Excellent interview Drizzy!! The questions you asked were perfect and the answers shed a lot of light for those who wanted to know! Thank you for conducting such a fine interview! To AD - You will always be considered a great friend! Remember to rest when needed! - Choot

Trust you to post a topic with information about Gears of War, lmao! Thanks Jester!

You dare question him as deity? I find THAT rather amusing and borderline disrespectful Viva! He is one of the most well respected members to have ever joined 343i.org. Bear that in mind.

Congratulations Dark! Your query has been somewhat answered! :up: :up: No other explanation is needed. - Choot

First and foremost..... CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have made it an entire year here! You have been here since the beginning Jester and have helped make this place a grand place to be. From your witty posts with the unique insight of the experienced gamer to the "hammer-down" tough mod that this place so desperately needs and everything in between. You have always taken the time to answer questions about the site no matter how mundane or simplistic they were, or moving topics that were wrongly placed out of impulse and not thought through. You have listened as a friend and understood the "lack of better judgement" decisions that I have made. It was at that point that I knew this site was truly different. You have brought personality to 343i.org and continue everday making it an easy decision to return frequently for updates. Being a fellow member of the staff was truly an honor, not because of the status but because you were a teammate. I haven't been around as much as I would like to be as of late but when I do drop by, I know you're there watching. Protecting this place from being tainted by trolls and spammers and always looking out for fellow members. I realise what you do here is mostly a thankless job but it deserves recognition for the sacrafices you make to invest your time here. So...... Continue being Jester and God Bless!! - Choot PS - Thanks for the mention.....and who knows.....maybe on some distant forum there is a Choot there, lmao!

Leave it to Twin to let the truth be told, lmao! We share the same views and opinions. Great interview Drizzy and an awesome choice for interviewee! Twinreaper....you rock brother! PS - I noticed the perpetual "wall of text" was kept down to a minimum Twin, lmao!

Happy Father's Day to all of the dad's in the community, and if you're not a dad then Happy Father's Day to your dad, lol!! Thanks for the topic Twin!! Not a zillion but enough to keep me busy, lmao!

Nice video trulyexclusive!! Watcher and Crawler look tough. Looked like a takedown assassination so i'm assuming they are back with a few new ones. Keep us posted!

.....my thoughts..... "Their final hour rapidly approaches the shrine will soon be ignited and they will be reminded of their errors." "Their" - could possibly be referring to Forerunners (for annihilatiing the Precursors) or Humans (for attempting to open the shrine, hince errors) "final hour rapidly approaches" - the ancient evil is upon us, soon he will come "the shrine will soon be ignited" - could refer to the door to the shrine being opened, but what is in the shrine?? The Ancient Evil?? What really throws me off within the text of these artifacts is the fact that Precursors deemed Forerunners "unworthy" to carry the mantle so they chose Humans instead. Forerunners kill Precursors, Forerunners kill Humans, Forerunners kill Forerunners (firing the Halo array). Will have to think on this a bit more. *frustrated* My head hurts, lmao!!

When I first noticed this topic go up, I was very reluctant and somewhat hesitant in responding to it. Like zoobkiller, at first glance I ignorantly viewed it as a popularity contest. However, after thoroughly reading this topic that Biggs has taken the time to post and how he explained what the topic is suppose to honestly be about, I came to realize that it's not about popularity but rather giving tribute to those who have either most influenced your time here at 343i.org or the general admiration and respect to other members. I, like others that have replied, will not be numbering those individuals because they deserve much more respect than being assigned a number so I will present my list in alphabetical order. Absolute Dog - What can I say that hasn't already been said. A Legend of 343i.org, mentor to many, and a personal friend. He was always there to keep me on the "straight and narrow", guiding me through the forums, and listening as a friend. He took the time to teach and help any and all members needing assistance. I consider it an honor to have been a part of this site when he transitioned from member to mod. He evolved this site with his unique insight and ideas. His presence is felt here and will remain forever. For all of his unselfish contributions and devotion, I personally thank him. adamj004- I watched as he evolved from a member into a well respected member of the News Group. I have always enjoyed reading his posts, and now his news. I am most proud of him for showing patience and perserverance, contributing all he could for this community with no expectation of reward for service. AgentLoFi- LoFi was the only member to show up and support me at my first scheduled playdate. He was a great teammate to have when the battles began in MM. He has a great sense of humor and is a very fun member to hang out with. Though it appears his path has led him elsewhere, I look forward to the chance meeting with him over XBL to once again fight to the finish. Monkeyshizz blue!! Drizzy_Dan- Yet another member I have enjoyed watching evolve and grow with the site. Funny, very intelligent, and very well-spoken. He has that charasmatic energy and desire to contribute to the forums that really stands out. imakequilts- The member who was willing to meet my challenge head on and never give up until it was solved. I truly admire the persistance she has. An AWESOME quilt maker (sent one to me specially made for my daughter, lol) and one heck of a Halo player, especially “Rockets” on “Guardian”, lmao! Spectral Jester- He has always answered questions I had concerning the site and has always been supportive of any ideas or concerns. He immediately welcomed me as a member and as a member of the Staff. He understood my reasoning behind the “poor decisions” I had once made, lol. The very first member of 343i.org to be added to my friends list over XBL. Though we have yet to meet up there, I look forward to that day my friend. Twam- Creator. Without him, this forum would cease to exist. He has always taken the time to troubleshoot any tech issues I had with the site. I am greatful to him for allowing all of us to be a part of his creation. Twinreaper- Intelligent, witty, and well-informed posts. His extensive knowledge of the technical aspect of Halo is really impressive. A unique personality and well-respected member of the community. VitaminPWN- Well spoken in the forums, excellent news reporter, and an awesome mod. Responsible for bringing us GNN, which I am a big fan of, lol. A sneaky prankster with grenade magnets and a pleasure to be around in the shoutbox. You, the members of 343i.org- Always friendly and supportive. Each with his/her own unique personalities. Always willing to help and each with the desire to make this a truly great place to be. Never doubt what you are capable of achieving here. You never know who might be watching and taking notice of your contributions. You guys, and gals, have helped mold this community into what it is now. A special thanks to all of you for continuing to come here, continuing to contribute, and making this the best darn place to be and a place I consider my second home!

Congratulations Nova! It's not the number of posts that define a member's true character here. You have been here a long time, watching the site grow with each new member. Your roots run deeper than most and with that depth comes strength. You should not be thanking us, we should be thanking you for remaining true to 343i.org. Thank you Nova and God Bless! - Choot

.....if you only knew the impact he had and STILL has here. More than a good guy, a good friend.

Well deserved Mr. The Director!!! Congratulations!!!
