Funny story about those glyphs – they also show up on the backs of Elite’s throughout h1. I always thought they were so badass: each elite has a different one on their backs (red elites, gold, cammo baby blue, etc). I’m such a nerd that for the longest time, and still now to this day, I think about getting the glyph on the back of the Black Strike-Team Elite (from the later levels of h1 when the Flood show up) as a tattoo, just because it’s so cool and only true fans would get the reference :)

I wonder what else the Forerunner glyphs adorn.

I remember seeing them all over the walls on the level “343 Guilty Spark” back in Halo 1. They show up in lots of places though, both Forerunner and Covenant.

Though it will be hard to convince Fee to let me put them up in the living room.

LOL … That made me laugh so hard. I can just imagine the conversations between you two.

Excellent find! That definitely looks like the designs on the sword. I wonder what else the Forerunner glyphs adorn.

I think the design was inspired by the Forerunner glyphs, I think seen mostly in Halo 1. That's also probably what the sword design is referencing (as the Covenant pretty much stole all their stuff from the Forerunners). Halo nerd, awaaaaaaay...

I would have to go with something even less obvious than the first one. I would like it to look like the walls of Sandtrap.

That is if I needed a shield…
