EGATFIBGBCSIMAW-

I can't remember who it was (Marty?) who hinted that we hadn't found all the secrets in game: maybe there's *still* another skull? I reckon it'll appear after all of them have been collected. Or something stupid.

TATRTSTS - Total Annihilation True Real Time Strategy Totally Sucks. There, ya got another one. At the time TA was all the rage and they used to called themselves "true real-time strategy" which we hated so I put that in there to jab them a bit ;)

Posted by Tuncer at May 19, 2006 5:43 PM

Excellent, and oh so close to many of the guesses on the old MSP acronyms page. Thanks, Tuncer. Always a pleasure to hear from any of the old-timers. ;-)

JNAMSFTFY - "Joke Not, Another Marathon Story Forum Theory For You"?

Posted by Anton P. Nym at May 20, 2006 12:59 PM

Hehehe. The good old EGATFIBGBCSIMAW. Well, try going through the game [halo 2] on legendary and collect all the skulls, and look around while fighting Tarturus. You will see what the W means.

ILWNL - Halo PC

I Like Winning, Never Losing

That just came out, and didn't give it much thought!

See me on Halo 2, XBOX Live. My Gamertag has something to do with a dizzle and a dazzle + dog.

New acronym for ya guys, from the Halo Graphic Novel:

BMDWATBATWMC

Have fun!

Posted by AfroRyan at July 18, 2006 2:25 AM

I posted this over on the HBO forums...and Mr. Chavez liked it, so here's a copy and paste job:

BMDWATBATWMC

Because Marvel Did What All The Bastards At Titan Wouldn't Make Cuts.

Kinda just popped into my head...the T could also stand for Tokyopop...but I doubt it matters one way or the other.

and here's Miguel's reply:

wow, that's actually close to something that would really make sense

because marvel did what all the bastards/bitches at Time Warner mxxx couldn't?

DC is owned by Time Warner

Posted by AfroRyan at July 18, 2006 5:27 PM

Perhaps the second M in the BMDWATBATWMC is actually a name, ie; Because Marvel Did What All Those Bastards At Time Warner, Mike, Couldn't.

Just a thought.

The acronym from the Halo Triple Pack is:

IKWTMCTCUWIWTSOS

Posted by jmh9072 at August 17, 2006 2:45 PM

ILWNL - I Laugh When Noguchi Laughs
I Love What Noguchi Loves
I Love When Noguchi Loses

Posted by Xraf at August 25, 2006 3:49 AM

Hehe. Boxer's take on the Halo Graphic Novel acronym is pretty funny. But I have to say that the "M" doesn't stand for Marvel; though one of the words was guessed correctly.

=D

Cheers!

When we were putting together the Myth soundtrack packaging we were pretty unhappy at what we considered an unfair review. Cruel? Perhaps. Crude? Who, us? Never!

I'm not sure why some folks continue to submit guesses to DMUKYA... It's ALREADY been solved! It was one of the first ones to be solved guys, it's over 10 years old.

Posted by Miguel at October 16, 2006 1:33 AM

"When we were putting together the Myth soundtrack packaging we were pretty unhappy at what we considered an unfair review. Cruel? Perhaps. Crude? Who, us? Never!"

MRTEFCFY

Based on that, I would guess the last two letters to be "Fuck you."
The 'R' could be review...

Thunderstorm

Blind
Ghost
Black Eye
Catch
Sputnik
Ice Cream
Mythic

Whuppopotamus

I wonder if it's too much to ask for a
simple official Bungie YES or NO on this
solution...no hints, just yes or no.

It would bring happiness to a great many
people to have just that much!

Posted by Misterskooba at December 13, 2006 10:33 AM

i agree with /\ /\ /\ bungie should think about releasing all the hidden stuff in their games when the game is over 5 years old

Posted by senuti at December 23, 2006 12:24 AM

var chinatime = new Date(2552,10,9,6,7,0);

LoL

That is the date that the Forerunners set the Halo's to be set from camloflauge. Before then they were hidden. It is all part of there plan.

The fact that they died was a huge conspiracy. It never happened. They ARE alive. They set there machines everywhere to help set off the galactic destruction of the universe. Why?

The humans, and the covenant.

There technology was advancing far too fast for the Forerunners to allow it. They intilized a secret and very fast plan. Which would lead to one thing - Major Destruction.

They lost a lot of there own, but that is to be expected. The Ark - Ha!

The Forerunners made that!?

Of Course. But Why?

By the time you beat Halo 3 you still won't know. You won't know until the end of Halo Wars.

Don't bother asking anout me at bungie. I didn't leave enough info to be tracked down. Believe this or not. I don't care.

W = Whuppopotamus

aka unnamed skull

:)

Posted by jub at January 28, 2007 3:35 AM

JNAMSFTFY
IT has pretty much been confirmed that the JNAM acronym is synonyms for the powers of the skulls. THe synonyms where to be typed in on a virtual keyboard allowing halo 2 skulls to be turned on/off
Juggernaut(MYTHIC)
Nosferatu(BLACK EYE)
Assassins(ASSASSINS)
Makeover(ENVY)

and so on

Posted by superninjamonkey at February 8, 2007 9:38 PM

JNAM (yes...just the first half)

J..........Juggernaut
N..........Nosferatu
A..........Assassins
Makeover...Envy

It was found in the hex...but is that really the first part of JNAMSFTFY or not?

SABABWL is "shiny and bumpy and bursting with love."

http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/h3b_morse_egg/

The acronym shows up in the Halo 3 Beta, too.

Posted by DemanusFlint at May 17, 2007 10:06 PM

We're exceedingly lame for not fingering this out. But look! This is the first Halo acronym COMPLETELY solved. Now just that W in the Halo 2 one. D:

Posted by Funkmon at May 17, 2007 11:32 PM

Im guessing it is "Would it help if i said please" since the skull is un-named and the first word of the phrase that activates the skull is a W so thats my guess.

Posted by DRK TwiSteR at May 23, 2007 6:07 AM

Halo 2 for Windows Vista has the acronym "DTARAGS" in the usual spot; on both the back of the cardboard sleeve and the back of the new clamshell PC game box.

I'm guessing that the first few letters stand for: "DirectX Ten..." or maybe even "DirectX Ten Ain't..."

Posted by HookMeUpImLocal at May 25, 2007 3:45 AM

Nice! Added to the list up top.

Posted by mnemesis at May 25, 2007 2:51 PM

I personally think it would more likely be something not involving DirectX. My first thoughts were "Don't trust anyone/anybody"

Posted by at May 25, 2007 9:33 PM

Followup to my previous comment about "Don't trust" - I was thinking, could possibly be "Don't tell" also

This is going back aways, but I guess no one's solved the Total Codex acronym yet?

I might have a start, if no one's thought of it yet:

The legendary edition has a different acronym:

Posted by Danny at September 26, 2007 1:34 AM

JLTLEBLC = Just love the limited edition, because legendary can't. :P

Posted by Brandon at September 26, 2007 6:45 PM

"JLTLEBLC = Just love the limited edition, because legendary can't. :P" Posted by: Brandon
I think it's more likely it would be something like Just love the limited edition, because legendary costs. But I think the best suggestion yet on this one was "Just like the legendary edition but less cool".

Posted by Christoffer at October 2, 2007 8:42 PM

True, or maybe "Just like Legendary Edition, but less costly" or 'Collectible' or, like you said 'Cool'.

This one got to me: SLMCWMYOW

So Long Master Chief, We'll Miss You(r) _ _ ? Maybe "Your Old Ways"?

These acronyms have gotten under my skin. I want to figure them all out. :(

Posted by Brandon at October 3, 2007 10:14 PM

Perhaps WWYANOFAWD is
Why Would You Annihilate Nosferatu Over F***ing Alien Warlord's Destruction? (as in the destruction of the earth)

Posted by Fresnel at September 18, 2010 1:44 PM

TIMLAFAHS:

perhaps something like:

"This Is My Last Acronym For All Halo Stuff/Shit"

just guessing don't have anything solid to go on

Posted by spook at August 8, 2011 3:16 AM

Hey Fellas!

This my first time here.

For the Halo:Reach one

I over looked it and I heard this in my mind...

BBBSLTPHSTBGF

Bye Bye Bye So Long To (Poor/Pathetic) (Heretics/Humans/Hoes) (Star/Starred/Start) To (Be/Being) Gone Forever

Or

Bye Bye Bye So Long (Thank/Thanks/To) (Population/Populace/Peers) Halo (Sails/Starts) To (Be/Being) (Going/Gone) Forever

Could I be Close?
