Simply an amazing run.

A HUGE Easter Egg found and decoded!
The 5 characters at the end of each Halo Anniversary terminal also have a higher meaning than just random glyphs. I, along with a few others on Halo Waypoint, began deciphering the code last night into today and the Forerunner glyphs have been cracked!
Yours truly cracked part of the code first. The first three glyphs from the first terminal are 343. The second terminal’s glyphs are Halo4. From there, someone else took my translations and decoded some more, then another person took that further and decoded the rest.
Check out the following thread on HaloWaypoint.com to see how it all went down, PLUS a whole lot more!

Halo CE: Anniversary 11th secret terminal revealed.
The Elite in the video is the Heretic Elite in Halo 2. His name is Sesa ‘Refumee.
The following is an excerpt from halo.wikia.com.
When ‘Refumee discovered the truth about the Halos, his Elites followed him in the rebellion against the High Prophets, knowing what the Halo Installations would do if they continued The Great Journey.
New Achievements for Reach via the Halo CE Anniversary maps
There are 10 new achievements to be had in Reach. These came via the new Anniversary maps. Some are difficult and some are easy. I spent the better part of 6 hours overnight working on them with friends in matchmaking and was able to get all but one so far.
I’ll post the list of these new achievements and how to obtain them shortly. Off to play Anniversary then go for the last Reach achievement I need.
Halo CE: Anniversary Multiplayer maps for Reach
Okay, so I’m not a huge fan of bringing back old maps. However, the maps brought back look amazing. 343i contracted Certain Affinity to recreate the Anniversary maps. If this is a glimpse into what is to come for Halo 4, we Halo fans should all be excited.
If you haven’t bought the maps yet, I highly suggest you do. The visuals are among if not the best of any Reach engine maps to date. I’ll be going over each map with an in depth look at the visuals, forge and more.
My Halo CE: Anniversary midnight release experience.
Anticipation was heavy Monday as I awaited the remake of Halo CE. About 8pm local (EST) I took a shower, got dressed in appropriate Halo attire (UNSC flat cap, the kind MSgt. Johnson wears) as well as a t-shirt sporting a Mark V/Football helmet mashup title “The Chiefs,” and grabbed my “guns.” I have a Covenant Plasma Rifle and two Plasma pistols. Â Both were made years ago and I was fortunate enough to get them on sale. I only took one of the pistols and the rifle. The are kind of like Laser Tag props. I brought them for a kind of show and tell, much to the delight of some of the other folks in line.
On that note, I was first in line as I usually am at these sort of things. This was at my local Gamestop, were I know most of the staff.
I hadn’t intended on buying the game guide, but since I was going to get 20% off, and it does have some cool art in it, I thought, what the heck. So I bought it.
At the stroke of midnight I got my copy of the game and the book and proceeded home with a short stop to a convenience store for some late night munchies to have while playing.
When I got home a problem arose. I had NO AUDIO! I had turned on my TV and XBOX and no audio whatsoever. Frustrating indeed. After downloading the Anniversary maps, Grunt Funeral Skull, and the Male Master Chief Avatar item, I shut down both the TV and XBOX and turned them back on. Much to my relief the familiar sound of the XBOX “swish” hummed and I knew I was on my way.
First thing I did was go to the multiplayer maps and checked them out in Forge. *NOTE: do this and use the “Juicy” item to really pop out the color of the maps. Wow they look fantastic. Even without Juicy applied though, the maps look great.
I gamed until about 3:30am, then hit the sack to play later.
Halo CE: Anniversary – Initial Review
I’ve played the first three missions co-op on Heroic. Enjoyed them so far and the graphics are SO much better than 10 years ago. Heroic is a bit too easy though, so I’m going to go for Legendary from here on out. Gameplay feels different to me. I guess that’s because I’ve been hardcore playing Reach for the last 14 months that I’ve gotten used to that style. It’s great to have the overpowered magnum again. The Sniper is awesome and I LOVE no recoil! I do however find myself missing the ability to sprint. So the game moves a little slower for me. One thing to note, the audio on my disc isn’t synched up correctly. The audio plays about 1 second before the mouths move in the video. I can brush this off, but I hope that’s not a precursor of things to come. Other than that small hiccup though, the rest of the game is great and I’ve come up against NO other glitches thus far.
