Strange spawning by the Magic Wall

[nightcrafter27]

Proof, Better Images, and maybe a video coming soon!
Last night (May 25), I noticed something strange about the magic wall when trying to get my Glyph Hunter achievement.
I was in theater mode, and had the film paused, just as the DD's where opening. I flew through in pan cam, and noted that the brute and enjies hadn't spawned yet, but the plasma batteries and communications post, and glyphs where there. Zipping over the ledge, I reached the magic wall. Seeing nothing there, I turned to exit, and fast forwarded a bit. The SuperTri, the signs on the walls, and several Covenant Weapons Crates, spawned.

This got me thinking:
Is the SuperTriGlyph an object?
Why did the Covie Crates spawn later than the Plasma Batteries and Comm Post? The signs?
What does this mean about the Magic Wall?

I restarted the film, and the same thing happened, but no SuperTri.

Something else interesting to point out, is that Engineer's searchlights go through objects, and shine on others, like shining a flashlight through glass.
If that didn't make sense (probably), then check out the pic:

You can see the light shining on the coulomb, but is also shining on the wall behind it.

Oh, nice. I had never noticed that.

Did you bump the district? I notice the doors are open

[nightcrafter27]

The district was not bumped, and what doors are you referring to?

[Scatcycle]

Mombasa street 015. Look in the backround. Open doors? O_O

Infact, I feel like The Super Tri is, like, three objects, as we have seen it to take the shapes of Super Di and Mono.

I wonder: Are all the Glyphs like this? Do they, like the Super Tri does, disappear and reappear? I recall people saying something like that long time ago...

[ColdGlider]

I made a test plan at one point to catalog the disappearing attributes of all the glyphs, which is still stickied over there in Ghost Chasers after nearly 8 months.  I've been meaning to get this done ever since!

Obviously, I'm prone to distraction.  (In my defense, the SGP was making new ODST discoveries every day back then it seemed!)

Almost doesn't count, Enigma, but yeah.

Well, the main point of this to point out that the objects (and SuperTri) spawned noticeably later than the rest of the objects, not just the usual "The Supertri was there, and then it wasn't!"

That picture was taken a while before the others, and could quite possibly be bumped. Does anyone know if that is possible?

or, it could be four objects, making it possible to see a simple Y glyph

The wall in question has been a source of wonderment for quite some time. We have played a multitude of 4 player games in this area and have found several anomalies like, everyone not seeing the same thing...sometime death of said player would allow the glyph to be seen. We have speculated that it may be a loading glitch. Also if you had bumped the area the passageways on either side of the tri glyph would have been open.

I think I said something a while ago after CG's bumping find, that there was two forms of bumping. the first one being simple loads like enemies, weapons, energy cubes...and such, while the second bump is much more revealing, some doors are removed, vehicles disappear, along with everything on the first bump..

We even tried to bring the plinths to that location, thinking it might open something...no dice.

I am really more entertained with the engineer shooting light through solid objects..lol

Well, the lights also shine on the back of objects.

Paint FTW!!!
