My friend and I, as we have done on many weekends, were going to play-through the entire campaign of one of our favourite games, Halo 3: ODST, over Xbox Live. Due to the games atmospheric accomplishments during certain mission, e.g. Mombasa Streets, we thought it would be a good idea to test any glitches we had heard of in the hope of finding some 'easter eggs.' The game went on as it normally would; the Prepare to Drop opening cutscene, dropping into Mombasa Streets etc. We went through Tayari Plaza as Buck, Uplift Reverse as Dutch and Kizingo Boulev'ard as Mickey.
Once we were back in Mombasa Streets and about to set off in search for the clue that would initiate the next mission, I saw what looked like a figure in the background. This figure didn't look like that of a Brute or Grunt. It couldn't have been my friend as he was busy looking for audio logs as he was yet to get the 'Audiophile' achievement. I walked up to his position in the game and told him I had seen something. However, we he went to have a look, the figure no longer appeared to be there. He shrugged it off with the comment
We continued playing as we were before; looking for glitches and 'easter eggs.' We didn't gave a second thought as to the alleged figure I saw earlier.
Line 9:
After finishing ONI Alpha Site and, once again, returning to Mombasa Streets to look for the few remaining clues, I saw the figure once again. Without looking away for fear of losing it, I told my friend to walk over to my position and get a look at it.
We started walking towards the figure. As we did, it started to move away. This was a visible shock to us. We had not expected it to move. This was odd as if it were an enemy, it would have been outlined in red and most certainly would not have run away from us. However, we were quite determined to find out what this thing was and continued to chase it.
Line 33:
I held RB and collected the audio log. It immediately started playing: it was the superintendent noise once again, but it sounded distorted, as though it had been possessed. It continued to repeat for about thirty seconds. My friend asked what it had played. I told him what I had heard
I didn't pay enough attention at the time, but now that I think back on it, the green, circular face on the video phones screen had turned red and it's eyes were in the shape of right angle triangles. A small amount of text could been seen below it:
''If only we had.''
As we continued our search for the Elite, I became more and more on-edge. It felt as though something was watching me. When I said this to my friend, he merely accused me of
The superintendent noise was playing at a near-constant frequency and was more aggressive than ever. The billboards were now, not only on above us, but on the side of the walls too. Each one flicking through different warnings and threats, each one as intimidating as the next. If the flicking of the billboards was not disorienting enough, the textures started to blur in and out of focus, while single clusters of pixels would change colour back and forth.
I thought my Xbox was going to break. Suddenly, just as quickly as it had started, everything stopped. The street we were walking down was quiet and dark. Not a sound could be heard, it was as though someone had muted the TV. Then we saw it; one billboard loomed above us. It was not aggressive, but appeared to be happy with an exuberant green colour. It merely said
''Why didn't we listen earlier?''
Line 55:
The both of us stood there. We weren't sure what we should do next, as though something would happen to us if we moved. My friend, trying to be the brave one, looked down and straight ahead. I hesitantly did the same thing. A shiver ran down my spine with what I saw next; it was the Elite. It didn't do anything, just stood there, but after what I had just saw, it could not have appeared more threatening.
But he was certain.
Something went down my spine and I shouted,
The superintendent noise started again, faster and more aggressive than I thought possible. My screen started going blurry and the circular face started flashing on my screen in what appeared to be intervals of neutral green, then aggressive red. Then my Xbox started steaming and my TV switched off. I quickly yelled into the microphone in panic
No reply. I realised my Xbox had red-ringed. This wasn't the time to worry about that. I picked up my phone and dialed my friends number; no answer. I tried again and again with no luck. Only one thing could be done, I had to run to his house. I ran as fast as I could; faster than I thought was possible. I reached his house in record-time. His door was unlocked so I could go straight in. As soon as I stepped in the house I could tell something wasn't right. There was a silence in the house that I hadn't experienced before. It was quieter than quiet.
Then I heard a noise that I fear to this very day: the superintendent. It was coming from my friends living room. I slowly opening the door, dreading what I might find inside. My friend was nowhere to be seen. His chair has been upturned, the drink he had was spilled and something I wish I had never seen was on his TV: a circular, green face with text below it saying
