Has anyone noticed the map co-ordinates after the city names?

NEW YORK // 081607 // 23:59 // 40.75006 -73.99785
SEATTLE // 081607 // 21:00 // 47.61440 -122.32059
LOS ANGELES // 081607 // 21:00 // 34.05099 -118.43814

I dropped the NY ones into Google to see where they are:

Yeah. It's Near Central park. I'll go there and check it out tomorrow... maybe...

No that guy is lying trying to big himself up. What really happened (from the IRC) is that there was the link to the bounce path control in a video at one of the sites and as soon as it was known then it got passed around through IMs then on the IRC. The keys were the normal keys that were for the other 4 servers and it was just a race to be first like server 4.


That sucks. So the only way I could have done this if I went to one of the cities? Or was lucky enough to have someone hand me a key? That seems fairly mundane. I mean where's the challenge if you're just going to give people the answer.

I'm really hoping that by opening server 5 we now have all of the clues necessary to really do something cool. But I'm not really holding my breathe either.

 		HERE IS A SUMMARY OF TONIGHT'S EVENTS IN #HALO

*Siege88 goes to the NY location, but finds nothing (Coords are later updated and he apparant had bad coords)
*eccramer goes to the seattle location and sees what is now the server 5 video playing on a projector, but with the server 5 BPC key url on it
*eccramer calls Giga, he gets him and eccramer keys and then posts the url in #halo
*Key mania
*The end

Trout Those coordinates apparently led to a video where the last bounce path control was found. The puppetmasters changed all but Seattle's coordinates throughout the night, so I think that no one actually found the right NYC or LA ones until it was too late.

I hope.


It really can't be over, since the server gave out other files... I imagine it's close, though, since the movie and the other text file especially seem to say "Buy Halo 3".

 		I think I would have been happier if the 5th server said "Drink your Ovaltine"
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go shoot myself in the eye with a BB gun. Wink

 		I seriously hope there is more to this now. At the very least there's still more than a month till Halo 3 is released.

I have an adrenaline high after that server opening (so very very VERY lucky to have contributed to the opening of a server), I've been up all night (it is 7:45 am in the UK now) but don't feel like i could sleep even if i tried!
