Talk:Da Vinci Code objects

Texture
There are little letters all over it. Heh, heh. Neat. :-) Sor 05:48, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Those arn't eggs, thats the game engines default texture. Just like in Halo 2, if the game can't find the texture called by the object, it will use that default 'debug' texture


 * they are called easter eggs because no one knows what they really should look like. As far as we know, they are the guardians for the map. They activate the mines.


 * They're not Guardians, nothing's a Guardian, read my comment in the next conversation ("Rename this page to Easter Egg Guardians"). [[Image:DavidJCobb_Emblem.svg|16px]] DavidJCobb  05:43, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Rename this page to Easter Egg Guardians
This page title should be renamed to Easter Egg Guardians because the same Easter Eggs have been found on Sandbox and the eggs are no longer exclusive to Sandtrap. Plus, we now have proof that the eggs really shoot sentinel beams because of new screenshots and videos. General Heed 16:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * If a proper name can't be chosen for the article, then perhaps a new article should be started just for the Easter Eggs on Sandbox and keep this article about the Easter Eggs on Sandtrap. General Heed 05:19, 9 July 2009 (UTC)


 * At the same time, the Easter Eggs aren't really Guardians. Technically, nothing is "The Guardians". If the game can't figure out how a player died, it just says that "The Guardians" killed them -- it's better than saying "Yeah, I've no idea how you died, so I'm just gonna sit here. Kthx." Egg kills show up as Guardian kills because the game simply wasn't coded to explain the kills. Of course, you can identify them as "Easter Egg Towers" -- in both Sandtrap and Sandbox, a literal Easter Egg is always accompanied by a tower.

 * Good point, but Bungie put it their for "Mysterious" reasons, but you are right. Though, it stems off the "Ghost" of Halo ordeal, at least to my opinion, but as for the "Easter Egg Tower accompanied by an Easter egg, eh its true to an extent".-


 * Yeah, but on some maps like Snowbound, the game will attack you directly, so it knows what killed you. I think that there are 2 types of guardians. The one where the game doesn't know what killed you and the other one where the game attacks you directly to prevent you from leaving the map. I suppose Easter Egg Towers would work, but however, the Easter Egg Towers could also refer to the ones on The Covenant. There's a video on Youtube about it. But yeah, one of the admins should change the name to something more suitable than Easter Eggs in Sandtrap. General Heed 05:35, 9 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Just because the game attacks you directly doesn't mean it knows what killed you. The part of the game that makes map geometry shoot at you is completely different from the part of the game that explains multiplayer deaths. It's entirely possible that Bungie just took a convenient shortcut: "Hey, rather than coding names for these obstacles, leave 'em unexplained -- the default name 'The Guardians' will work."

Renaming of Article
I'm open to all suggestions on renaming the article. Just make sure they are not contradictory or just for the "epic".-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 07:09, 9 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll start.

Easter Egg Towers (2)
 * For. There's more than one, but there's only a finite amount. [[Image:DavidJCobb_Emblem.svg|16px]] DavidJCobb  07:48, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Not Sentinel Beams
I should note that while the Sandtrap Eggs' beams are orange, they're not Sentinel Beams. They just share colors. The Eggs' beams are just a faint orange beam, while Sentinel Beams are white at the center and surrounded by red-orange rings. (See screenshot).  DavidJCobb  05:43, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah its been discussed way before I got on here lol-
