Ok, I've been at this for hours with my high school level Photoshop skills, or lack there of, and all I can tell is theres something there, I don't know if its a website, or just a phrase or quote or what, I ran it through some tools to sorta highlight what I'm talking about. Something isn't meant to be seen here, question is what. Ill keep at it, but not this morning, a lot of the things I did to the screencaps I didn't post because they became too messy still.

At 1:48 theres some weird marking in the ground on the bottom right of the screen. Its not a symbol that I've seen before it just jumped out at me... could be nothing but it's kind of conspicuous.
Looks to me to be a bit of rope that they have painted into the floor to save on some cpu time.

did anyone notice that the code playin in the background when the bungie logo appears is earily similar to the code (random symbols) playin on the bottom of the server 2's transmission?
I took a look at the server 2 transmission and I think those pieces of random code are strings of 0s, Es and Cs. But I don't know any code that uses 0, E and C...

Next, an arch in the background similar to the Halo stations.
Then an even weirder arch in the back (Dark purple) with horns sticking out of the top.
Who said thats Earth?

Personally I'm guessing they go after the Prophets homeworld ato make sure the war is over and if I remember rightly the prophets homeworld was originally the Forerunners homeworld.

The prophets aren't neccisarily on the Forerunner homeworld. Just one with lots of Forerunner ruins.
Sorry I spell like I'm in the SOTA.

True but didn't one of the books mention that they were from the Forerunner's home world? Either Fall of Reach or First Strike.

I'm pretty sure it just said they were on a planet with lots of Forerunner artifacts...and, apparently, there are lots of planets like that (Onyx, Reach, Earth, the gas planet you see in H2, etc.)

Makes you wonder how many planets the Forerunners stripped bare to construct all the halos etc. Thats a lot of metal.
BTW I watched the video again in slow mo and I don't think there is anything hidden in the Bungie logo at the end. I think it would be to obvious for them to do that.

IDK, I still think somethings there but its really, REALLY hidden. I can see this because the community has solved previous puzzles pretty fast... so this ones a bit of a challenge if indeed thats what it is. I still can't make out any characters definitely but perhaps someone else can. I posted the individual frames from the E3 Video of the Bungie "hidden message". They are frames 3818 through 3834, 00:02:07.419 through 00:02:07.928 respectively, a little more than half a second . 3828 and 3829 are IMO the most useful. Ive tagged each screencap with its frame number. Go look for yourself:

Broken Alpha Halo? In the next to last scene in Halo 2, you can see all 7 Halos intertwine (like one of those gyroscopes you can stand up in). The Pelicans are diving towards a different Halo.

I downloaded one of the screen shots of the Bungie logo and played with it in Gimp. I did an edge detect and it looks like there might be something there. I grabbed image 8 from the above link and I can just about make out what look like W I C but it might just be my mind filling in none existent blanks.
