The '''Da Vinci Code Objects''' are untextured objects that appear in some of ''[[Halo 3]]''<nowiki/>'s levels. These objects end up using a default texture: a grid of letters and numbers. The name was likely inspired from the default texture's slight visual similarity to the "[[Wikipedia:cryptex|cryptex]]" featured in Dan Brown's ''[[Wikipedia:The Da Vinci Code|The Da Vinci Code]]''.

It is possible that [[Bungie]] created two versions or layers of the normal shield-generating towers. The outer layer is [[Wiktionary:immutable|immutable]], but the inner layer (the "da Vinci" layer) will vanish if the shield generators in the towers are disabled. It is entirely possible that the Da Vinci Towers are projecting the beams that power the shields, which would explain why disabling the shields removes the towers.

== Da Vinci Floor==
In the Halo 3: ODST campaign&nbsp;you need to hijack a Banshee (by luring it into a corner, overcharge and shoot the Plasma Pistol at it, change to a Silenced&nbsp;SMG and crouch and walk to it at the same time. The Brute should die and you'll be flying the Banshee) and fly over the wall that Dutch stands near, with the number 4 on it. Then you will need to fly left and you should see the "Da Vinci" floor with the texture and designs on the floor.
Bungie probably put it there to represent where the 2D/3D stucture of the Quito Space Tether on the&nbsp;right&nbsp;side of the "Rally Point" area would be. On the other side you can see the Space Tether so either thats the reason why or for something other reason. It is unclear why its there and why you can land on it, because of an invisible wall at the "building roof height."
