 		What? The flamethrower from the Halo 2 LE dvd isn't even close to THAT. This is what it would have looked like: http://www.bungie.net/images/games/HaloPC/screenshots/halopc_flamethrower.jpg

You keep saying that. Not to bring offense... but, what ARE you trying to show us? If you're refering to the gun, held by the guy, who is choking the other guy... yeah, we all go that the first time. You didn't "FIND" that... we could all see it.

So the question is... what are you attempting to show us?

Hey THX, so we've had another challenge and completed it very quickly. A few questions which I would like to direct at you which you may/may not be able to answer.

Firstly can you give any information into the scoring system? Has it been frozen for a reason?

Where you involved in the creation of the new task? Will you be our GM from now on?

Hope you've recovered from the shock of yesterdays call!

JBI.

 		not halo 3. a)doesnt look anything like it. b)that guys has his helmet off, not the MC at least.

my guess is perfect dark zero, or perhaps a brand new launch game.


it does have self shadowing, which means most likely next gen, as only a few games on xbox have self shadowing now. There is a letter at the end of the barrel. Looks like either an N or a Z.


But hey, it might be Halo 3, what do I know.



also. Anyone notice the scanlines? They arent on the gun, just the background....well, actually, they start on the gun too at about 3/4 across. could just be a quick fog method.

 		When I solved it for us, it said that we got 10 points, So did we solve it first?

10 points is not for solving first. Who is "us" which you refer to?

 		It could be the new Quake or something showing off the new Unreal Engine

 		As an avid Halo fan, I can tell you those aren't shots of Halo 2. None of it fits.

edit: You know what? I take that back. Look between the dude's arm and the gun, it looks like when you see part of the ring in Halo from a distance. it's just that band of earth that stretches way out into the distance.

Hey there, you were right there posting when it all went down. Could have been anyone of us... As to your questions. I don't really know any more about the point system than what is posted here.

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9589

And I thought I saw movement when you guys solved this one.

Secondly, I have had no input into the puzzles since early in the game.

Also, as much as I would love to be a PM, that doesn't look like it's in the cards. I was given that little "quote" during the call but, that was all.

Thanks again to you and all of the other OurColony players who helped in this and future stages of the game.

Your humble rep.

OK rep. Here's a couple of q's for you that hopefully you can answer and not break whatever secrecy they are holding you to. Please don't lie. If you can't say because of your agreement, just say so (I'll understand).

-Do you have a communication line to the PM's?
-If so, can you convey messages to the PM's?
-Should we expect anything from you, or will you just be a regular (although famous) player until all is revealed?

From what I have been able to tell, you get 10 points for solving, but 100 for solving it first. I've been tracking the scores here and there and most of the teams have only jumped by 10-30 points since the big jump where Team-Xbox moved all the way up into the 2nd place position. Except The Brotherhood, they jumped by 300 points recently. So either they have been first to solve the last 3 puzzles, or they are getting some credit from other contributions.
