Re: The Mammoth...KEEP IT CLEAN!

In Response To: The Mammoth...KEEP IT CLEAN! (PyroSporker16)


: Found this last month on the level "Reclaimer", been meaning to
: post this for a while. I finally just finished the game tonight, so I was
: motivated to follow through and post.

: Somehow when I saw the blurry computer monitors on the decks of the Mammoth I
: was able to make out the words KEEP IT CLEAN in the first line of the
: lower monitor read out. KEEP IT CLEAN obviously made me remember the
: Superintendent, and then I remembered the old Superintendent wallpaper
: with some of his PSA's written out. Looked it up and sure enough, looks
: like the whole block of text is made up of SI quotes. The only thing I
: can't put together is the why? (besides 343 tipping their cap to Bungie?
: Or was it just something better to use rather than generic text?)

: The rest of the screens and readouts seem far too blurry to be deciphered.

: This is the ODST wallpaper I recalled, with this text in it:
: http://www.bungie.net/images/games/wallpapers/SUPERINTENT3.jpg

: "RECYCLING: DO YOUR PART!
: YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK
: LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE CROSSING
: IN CASE OF FIRE USE STAIRS
: NO PARKING AT ANY TIME
: TURN LIGHTS OFF PRIOR TO DEPARTURE
: PLEASE REMAIN CALM
: VEHICLE MAKES FREQUENT STOPS
: GOOD CITIZENS CONSERVE FUEL
: PARDON OUR DUST
: BE A HERO! REPORT VIOLATORS
: TAKE IT TO MAKE IT
: BEACH OPEN FOR WATER CONTACT
: YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS"

: My apologies for the poor quality here, I can't do a game film screen capture
: (what gives 343i?) and I have no other way to attempt a video capture. So
: I took a blurry cam photo with my phone.
: Load up "Recliamer" and trade guns with your ally that has the
: sniper rifle and then go in the mammoth and check it out in game - it will
: be slightly easier to decipher than my photo, but not by much. Maybe
: someone with a capture card/rig can get a cleaner photo?

: the dots I'm not sure about

: It could easily be nothing, but I also noticed on the rocket pods mounted
: atop the Mammoth a decal-ed number that just seems far too cleanly
: formatted to be only a random number.
: I've seen a few other suspicious numbers and letters around various levels
: that could be somebuddy's initials and possibly a date, but some of it is
: just me seeing shapes in the clouds.

: Anyone know a 343-er that is 26? Or possibly a significant event that
: happened on July 22 '86? I've tried going through the well known employee
: list, 343 website calendar, and culled the net but no good leads yet.

Yesterday I played "Infinity" and stopped to look around after I got the Mantis. I was pleased to find bays that were constructing more Mantis mechs and to see a few (low rez) Broadswords hanging in clamps overhead. Nice touches...though I can't figure how the Broadswords launch from that room.
