  The intro, how he just...casually walks up to the screen in stop motion, just looked so powerful.

  I can't even begin to describe the nostalgia from Luke talking about Halo mysteries again. His old lore vids are a massive reason I'm as much of a sucker for the Halo franchise as I am.

  Putting the halo tv show in the background while talking about disturbing things in plain sight was genius

  Halo mysteries will always be in a league of its own.<br><br>My favorite will always be the ones about Medincant Bias and just how much it gives this mysterious AI so much character for having such little to work with.<br><br>And then there&apos;s the glyphs that mean nothing other than to do research on completely different and unrelated things. Congrats to Rocket Sloth for solving it, and my head hurts even with the abridged explanation.

  Seeing (what im guessing is) a lore accurate sized plasma rifle in a regular humans hand is both freaky and cool

  The very idea that someone got Recon simply because of an accidental death by a traffic cone is both ridiculous and awe-inspiring. Simply amazing.

  I think I can further explain the Cortana skull. As mentioned, it is the blind skull and was meant to be found there. However, that raises the question why the blind skull is found on Sierra 117 as well. Halo 3&apos;s code has a list of strings which were likely meant to be clues to skull locations in the UI but were never used. For blind the hint was &apos;Interred within her tomb.&apos; clearly indicating the blind skull was meant to be found in Cortana, where it remains to this day. The most interesting string however is the one labelled Assassin - &apos;Interred where heroes fall.&apos; This indicates the Assassin skull was meant to return in Halo 3 and be found at the cliff&apos;s edge in Sierra 117 (Where heroes fall). I&apos;m not sure why the Assassin skull was cut but it seems they quickly replaced it with the blind skull, causing a double. If we ever get an early halo 3 build with campaign assets I would be interested if the Assassin skull was still there.

  I remember unlocking Recon on the OG Halo 3 and safe to say it was one of the happiest moments of my life.<br>I unlocked it after contacting Bungie about something I don&apos;t remember it&apos;s been years but yeah next thing I know while scrolling through my armour set I had it as an extra option never looked back since then.

  The one at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OV7PbravsY&amp;t=458">7:38</a> sounds like a warcry from the Gravemind to all the Flood that were in that ship that crashed at Voi, which is super creepy if we consider that the Gravemind is far away in the infested High Charity, and yet he is aware that humans and elites were trying to stop the infection from spreading on Earth.

  The Ancient Text mystery didn&apos;t make the list? It&apos;s great because it predates the Glyph mystery, is still being expanded 15 years later (via Infinite and Halo: Epitaph), and hasn&apos;t been confirmed to mean nothing like Marty did with the Glyphs. <b>Ancient Text Supremacy</b>
