And check the source code on the pages that you found the images on maybe.

Honestly, I don't think putting up a couple of pictures is making IGN bend over backwards. Even if it was a big deal to put up 4 pictures that have to do with the arg, just think about how many more hits IGN would be getting because of it. It probably went along the lines of bungie: "Hey IGN, wanna help us out by putting up these 4 messed up pictures? We guarantee that not only everyone interested in halo will look at them, they'll look at them over and over as well." IGN: "Hmm... sure, we have to deny we have any connection to you guys right?" Bungie: "yup." end of conversation.

As for the fact that they haven't changed them, it probably means that its actually in game. A site like IGN wouldn't do something shoddy, it would make them look bad, not to mention all the gamers pissed off at the red herring. I'm sure the first time they caught wind of the messed up pictures they would have taken them down and replaced them with normal ones.

What I have to wonder, is if IGN's gallery system altered the images they were given. Assides fron adding the water mark, it may have also resized the images to meet a maximum size. The same images on the bungie site are much larger. Resizing (and probably water marking) would most likely destroy any steg'd message, it would also explain why the rectangles have fuzzy edges rather than clean ones.

Has anyone else noticed that the red and first blue are both different views of the same level. If you look in the plasma glare way above the red rectangle, you can see the plassword. That may be a hint of some sort I think

I've tried viewing the screens with different channels removed, and get some interesting but appearently unfruitful views when I disable the color channel of the rectangle, then invert.

I had noticed that. I suspect the second blue one is also of the same building, but from the outside.

The only thing I noticed with the rectangles when I was playing around with this for awhile was that if you overlay the image with the red rectangle on one of the blue rectangle images, one the edges of the rectangles line up exactly. I'm not sure what that means and couldn't find anything in the image that way, but I don't think it's just random.
