Watch this E3 Halo 3 ODST and Halo Reach video.

When you see the Halo Reach part you wont be able to tell me this ARG is not for that!

Woot, they show a world ending, (the way their world ended?) and the planet itself seems so similar to the one in the first intimation video.


Except that we know the fall of reach happened before the events of Halo 2, and this ARG seems set beyond the end of Halo 3. Which causes a temporal problem for that hypothesis.

i'm fairly certain this ARG has nothing to do with Halo: Reach. it's still way over a year, and -way- too early for an ARG of its own.

small correction, though it doesn't really matter since it still takes place before this ARG: the fall of reach happened just before the first halo game. the UNSC ship, pillar of autumn, which the main character starts on in halo 1, had just fled from reach at the beginning of the game.

What an odd time for twitter updates. I wonder if its just to keep us strung along this week or if there is more to it.

Didn't Harvest go kablooey too? Just a thought. Though..there's also Onyx, and The Cole Protocol to think about...as far as books go. There was also a rumor awhile back about a Halo movie.

So really, what this is for...endless possibilities.

Game, book, movie? Who knows!

Script (was until it crashed) running, and found the following:

http://thewaytheirworldended.com/clip-did-they-tell
http://thewaytheirworldended.com/clip-low-hum-now
http://thewaytheirworldended.com/clip-skipped-over

It looks like ROTing is a red herring. They're all just missing a part of the path needed to get to them.

There is one MP3 file in SCATTERED-STARS so far.

Dreaming Eyes gets spotted by the ship's crew.
The description of one of them sounds like a Sangheili to me, but it could be a Jiralhanae. (sorry if the Brute name is wrong)

It seems as though things are just going to pick up from now on.

Oh dear. Game over (For now) - Their page is broken. As you can see in Firebug, clicking on anything gives "//Invalid Command." For now, at least.

[edit]And now I'm getting "//Unauthorized Access.". Boo.[/edit]

[edit="Son of Edit"]Ah, they've changed the auth string. Corrected, updated, and running again.[/edit]
