In Response To: Re: Forerunner Symbol on Condemned (pete_the_duck)


: Are we *sure* this is an egg and not just a coincidental similarity? I mean,
: if I wanted a glass ceiling in that room, I'm pretty sure I would have
: also chosen a circular design (vs square).. the similarity isn't so
: evident as to make me certain that this really is something..

You beat me, but I have some visual backup.

It took me a while to see the similarity other than circles and spokes-- the key was the broken support in the right-center area (which kind of blends in in this picture). I got the most straight-on view I could from the floor which fortunately was also big enough to show the whole thing (above). I aligned the longest support directly clockwise to the broken one I mentioned with "up" on my screen for comparison, and there is a gap that's fairly close to 1/5 of the outside circle, the position of which would indicate the symbol for 1, but...
-- there's also a gap at the bottom,
-- the innermost circle is very incomplete,
-- the broken piece I mentioned isn't as close to 1/5 of a circle in angle difference from the top, and in fact,
-- the supports are arranged every 1/16 of the distance around the circles, incompatible with the 1/5 division of the Forerunner symbols
It's not all negativity here though.
In getting this I looked around the level some more and I found two interesting things. The first is that apparently Marty isn't the only one who likes air viola.

air viola done by a Spartan-III

The second is either much more or much less interesting depending on your tastes and if this is as old as I only now suspect it may be (I searched the front page and forum but I could've missed it).

possible Marathon symbol on Condemned

Yes, that looks like what you probably think it looks like (whether it is or not is more a matter of intent), and before someone points it out, this is upside down-- I didn't flip it, it's that way on the hologram table, and there's a right-side-up version most of the way to the opposite side of the table.

You cannot fall off the floor.
