[SPEC/TRAILHEAD] Halo 3 trailhead? Code from Warthog Image From xbox360fanboy:
Bungie has posted a new vehicle profile from Halo 3, and today it is none other than our beloved (wort-wort) Warthog. Bungie has included a new 360 degree screen shot, allowing users to take a virtual tour of the Warthog. What's interesting is that there appears to be a hidden code broken up throughout the screen shot. Rotating the 'Hog causes different pieces of the code to appear . It reads:
"X.XX.713> ghost.713/non-auth/activity ongoing"
What does it mean? Is this the beginning of ILoveBees redux? Does it have something to do with the Spartan-III project? We have no idea. From what we can tell, it's not a URL. That's where you come in. Go forth and decipher the code fanboys.
SO!
any ideas?

even if it does lead somewhere i cant see where. Plus 42 is currently well almost certainly involved in a different ARG.

While yes, it may not lead anywhere, that is why it is called speculation. This definitely has ARG written all over it.
I think that 42 has also been around long enough where they could handle more than one ARG at a time, especially if they are getting funded by m$.

Sean (from 42) told me that Bungie wanted to use a different approach to advertising Halo3 this time around.

I'll ignore all the reasons why this cannot be an ARG and will play along, trying to have some fun along the way. I suggest everyone else does the same (this means, don't look behind the curtain to see if this is real or not... it's in Bungie's website for crying out loud!)
/rant off/
Ghosting is what stealth AI's sometimes do... as is unauthorized entry into systems. What type of AI would be trying to infiltrate UNSC files?
Oh, and since it's about having fun... OMG there is honeycomb ALL OVER THE BACKGROUND!!!!!

Fair enough on the "not an ARG" thing.
But does anyone think this is a code/what does it mean!

Damnit.. I was going to post this later if it developed. Oh well.. he's a full copy of my last post on this subject, it has some proof/a good pic:
Sigh.. I was holding out on posting this because I'm not sure if it will go anywhere yet.. but you felt the need to post it first, lol.
I discussed it on the IRC with a few members.. the "IP" ends in too high of a member for conventional IP addys.. there is a special type.. which I will explain later, and how to convert it to a 4 number IP address.
Here's an image for those of you that require proof of the "ghost.713" line.. it's a composite of all the degrees of rotation in the 3D Picture, done with a lovely program we all know as Photoshop.
If you can't already tell, I'm a huge Halo fan.. =)

A cortana ARG would be interesting.. the cortana letters, her saying "Chief, leave me" in the 60 second ad.. etc. would all probably play a role.
Oh, and another thing.. ghost.713 isn't 7/13 is the last day of E3..? Or is it in May again?

Question for you kona.. did he mean that Bungie wants a different type of thing, FROM 42, or that they aren't going with 42 for anything this time around..?

No new info though, just mentioning it.
