From Halloween Miracle to Halloween Scandal?!
Posted By: PyroSporker16 <PyroSporker16@comcast.net>Date: 10/31/10 3:25 a.m.

In Response To: Re: What exactly did HBO "do"? (on either side) (ArteenEsben)


I find it somewhat funny and ironic how we can go from"Halloween Miracle" one year (I found Siege of Madrigal hidden in ODST on this day last year), to "Halloween Scandal" this year.

Granted I found Siege through honest hard work, painstaking searching, and extra elbow grease. But the stark contrast between the delivery/reception of the news is so opposite.

: It requires a switch, just like a few
: of the known eggs. The switch isn't particularly well-hidden either.
: Someone thoroughly exploring each of the buildings would have seen it no
: problem. Heck, I'm surprised no one found that switch but did find the
: ones in ONI Sword Base and The Package.

Surprise Surprise, look who found one of those other important switches...
http://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=31067 (I am remembering that Kornman "found" The vault/Halsey's office)
I would not be surprised if that switch was found using the same nefarious methods, and with a copy of the game that was illegally obtained no less. I find it very hard to believe that switch was found honestly on the day of/day after release and a video and detailed guide could have been posted up that fast. The Legendary edition commentary came out shortly before the release day I think and I suspect an illegally leaked copy of Reach was obtained a few days before release. You remember that there was a leak shortly before the release day. A illegal copy was originally used and then after the release day the beans were ready to be spilled. Or he had the illegal copy and had played it through a few times, then once the info from the Legendary Commentary was out there all that was needed was a 'detailed' search of the official game, and a guide made and posted to HBO.

Or maybe I'm just way out of line.

: With an educated guess, you have 90% ot the requirements taken care of. Then
: it's just knowing that you're supposed to fly the falcon through the arch.
: It's dumb luck, but hardly an unlikely occurrence.

When I saw that giant toilet bowl shaped building my first inclination was that it had to be of significance. I flew through it and inspected it for switches on my first Legendary solo playthrough. Flying through that building or knowing to fly through it is not the tough/lucky part at all. Finding that rotten hidden switch is the tough/lucky part, unless of course you are a walking talking code reader like Kornman.
