Last Swahili Clip I could find...
Posted By: WraithXDate: 3/6/05 8:33 p.m.

Hey Everyone,

I just finished looking for all the overhead speakers I could find and found
one more Swahili snippet that isn't in the database yet. The new snippet is
here: http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/h2dialogue/swahili/tahadari_fanya.mp3

[localized -lwu]

I found a total of 9 overhead speakers in the level Outskirts.
6 Are in the city.
3 Are in the highway tunnel.

5 of the ones in the city play the 9 different Emergency Broadcast
information clips.
1 in the city plays those 7 strange "proverbs". (7? hmmm...)

All the speakers in the tunnel loop through the same 3 swahili clips.

If you want to know where the speakers are, here's a rough guide:
CITY
1: In the room with the crashed pelican, up in the corner above the exit.
2: Before the end of "Hunter road"* hang a right, it'll be in the upper left
hand corner at the end of that street.
3: All the way at the end of "Hunter road" in the upper right hand corner.
4: Before you hang a left into sniper alley its up and to the right.
5: Outside the Hotel Zanzibar on the building across the street.
6: Behind the building where you get the IWHBYD skull, past the red truck
and up in the corner at the end of that "street".

*I call "Hunter road" that road in the beginning where you fight the 2 hunters.

TUNNEL
1: At the bottom of the hill just before where the scarab shoots through.
Its on the upper right hand side of the door thats down there.
2: After the part where the scarab shoots, the road semi-dead-ends and juts
off to the right. Well, on the left of the "dead-end" there is another
door in the wall and it is on the upper right hand side of that door.
3: The last one is shrouded in shadow in that last large room where you fight
the covenant. It is on the ceiling right above where the covenant ground
transport is mostly blocking your exit.

Now, I have a question for everyone. Do you think that the IWHBYD skull might
be able to trigger new swahili clips to start playing? I don't know if I have
the skill to get that skull, but I'd be interested to find out if there were
some new clips that come about because of that skull.

I'm still wondering why in this message:
http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=553106
Frankie said it might be worth translating these? I don't really see anything
in these clips that give us more insight into the game. Sure, its really cool
that they put dialogue in Swahili into the game, and I'm really glad we have
rehema to translate for us. It adds an extra level of realism into the game
by having the EBS broadcasts in there, but it doesn't seem like these snippets
reveal any big secrets in the game. Perhaps I was hoping for too much from the
translation of these clips. Oh well, I'd like to hear other peoples thoughts
on these issues.
