I recall in an earlier interview, Bungie said that after playing Halo 2 and going back to the original, you'd start to notice a lot more stuff.
For example, there are many many symbols scattered throughought the Alpha Halo and of course on any Forerunner architecture. Do you think Bungie provided any subtle hints in the first game about future storylines?
I just played through Halo, and just now, I played a the multi-player level called "Ascension".
I began to notice many many instances where I noticed the same symbol over and over. It's used much more than any of the other symbols and just seems kind of important. The symbol I'm talking about is (sorry I'm not able to capture a screen of it so a description will have to do) a circle (about the shape of a planet) with a huge shape in the middle (leading from the bottom to the top of the circle). Now could this be a reference to the The Ark/Earth (I assume everyone thinks or knows that it is Earth), the circle as the Planet and the huge shape could be the structure the Oracle was talking about. I may be speculating a bit too much but it leads me to believe that it must be a significant symbol, introducing the fact that they may be a huge building/structure (much like the structure/mountain on Reach) leading down to the place where they could activate the rings.
I know it's nothing but a theory, and a bit far fetched, but I'm seeing that symbol everywhere and it just seems to me like a pretty cool/subtle hint by Bungie
or I've got too much time on my hands to dissect one fucking symbol. Either way, have a look for yourself at the symbol and see what you think, if you happen to be playing Ascension (or any level that has Forerunner architecture) keep a look out for it.
...
So, seen any other things?
Edit: Sorry! I don't mean the museum in Sigma Octanus IV :lol, I mean the structure on Reach. My bad!
