Alright... this is gonna sound stupid. And useless. And freaky. And most of you aren't going to listen nor believe me. But hear me out.
Me and Squiggles have been playing the Halo series for some years. And theres some... odd things that happen when we play local multiplayer. About 4 or so years ago, me and Squiggles were playing Halo 2 on the map Midship. We were just jacking around, throwing grenades and raising general hell. You know, being gamers. I guess. Anyway, I was standing on the edge of the platform that wobbles when you land on it and shoot it. We were laughing over a joke that I'm drawing a blank on, and suddenly, I stopped dead. He was confused at first, and when he looked at me, I was horrified, staring at the screen. In front of me, standing in the hallway, pointing towards my friend who was around the corner and out of sight, was a blue elite, holding a plasma rifle. He was looking at me sideways, before he slowly looked forward, and ran towards Squiggles. I instantly told him to turn around. He, confused as ever, turns around, to see nothing. Eventually, I find him and explain. He doesn't believe me, as expected from most sane humans. He runs off and I run away in search of the strange AI that was apparently running rampant. He suddenly stops dead, yells, and runs after me, claiming that he had seen a completely black spartan holding a battle rifle, standing right around the corner that he had turned.
I stuff you not, we've been looking around for these things for the last few years, and have seen much of the black spartan among many others, often, and regularly, except for the blue elite that seems to elude us. This is always off line, with just me and him playing. There has been a large amount of sightings of these strange things. Even earlier tonight I've seen a few things, and Squiggles has seen the black spartan. We have seen them with numerous armor types and weapons, although the spartan is usually using a battle rifle or shotgun with standard armor.
For example, we once started a round to mess around on Epitaph on Halo 3. The moment we spawn, both me and Squiggles swear up and down that neither of us threw the grenade that exploded right in front of us as soon as we spawned. It was freaky. That, and we for some reason spawned right beside eachother.
Even if you believe us or not, it could be our imaginations, but from what we understand, there is local AI among us. Questions, comments?
