I excerpted a bit of the video... please watch and let me know if it helps at all.

Please god stay my hand.

On a sadly related note, isn't a shot of bacteria under a scope part of the MGS/Bungie logo movie at the start of both Halo games?


Yes it is. You see blue bacteria multiplying and then it pulls back to reveal the bacteria covering the earth which becomes the blue dot on the "i" in "Bungie"

I suspect the blurry oblong shapes that we used to see behind the countdown might have also been bacteria now that I think about it.

Okay, here we go. On the frame-by-frame, there's a lot of stuff people missed. I'll let you see for yourself (I don't know why some of this stuff was hidden in single frames, a lot of it has no meaning at all).

the bacteria in the two images on the first page resembles the Marburg Virus, which is accociated with tunnels in Mount Elgon. Mount Elgon is what was found when you plugged in the coordinates that made up the halted countdown. my theory is this: the forerunners picked up this disease while in Africa. It killed their race and mutated into what we now know as the Flood. i could be dead wrong, but i wasn't sure where else to put this. please don't hurt me. Sad

actually... that's not a bad theory. if you really do think they look alike, and that Mount Elgon really was the same...

From what I can tell with a GIS, what we've seen is not the Marburg virus -- not in Bungie's background, not in the countdown background, and not in the flash vid. Marburg has more of a filament look to it... right?

Is it just me or does it look like the parts of the video that are just garbage frames (at 00:15, 00:17, 00:21, 00:27, 00:29, and 00:35) look like they may be blurred images or something?

Also the images behind the text frames (at 00:04, 00:09, 00:12, 00:18, 00:22, 00:25, 00:27, and 00:31) spaced throughout the video look like they have shapes hiding behind the blur?

It looks like that to me too. Africa is inexplicably tied to the plot so it makes sense.

that was my first thought, it definitely has the general shape. Although looking at the edges makes me think that shot is actually dark clouds with the sun peaking over the top.

I'm going to link to a re-edit I just did of the video which lets you see all the hidden stuff much clearer and for much longer. As soon as it uploads to Revver I'll post it Smile
