Editing Talk:Audio log (Halo 4)

==Validity of this page==
As there appear to be a vast number of, mostly, unofficial audio logs in the game, these do provide some good background. I think I've even discovered upon similar Data Pad like logs as you can find in Halo: Reach. However, I do not know wether these are legendary specific. I merely found the first on legendary. Look in the description of the page itself. Seeing as the logs do provide a good background and extra information, I think this would be a good place to list them all. Your thoughts? --[[User talk:Thijsbos|Thijsbos]] 15:28, 13 November 2012 (EST)

I think listing them all here is an excellent idea. This page could be quite useful once it has expanded. Of the ones currently listed on the page, I have only found the first. I can confirm that it is available on Normal, Heroic and Legendary. There is also the Log on the first level about John, and the ones on Ivanoff.--[[User talk:Soul reaper|Soul reaper]] 03:49, 19 November 2012 (EST)

==Specimen 1534==
[[File:Specimen 1534.PNG|What could this be?|thumbnail]]
The audio log in the room where the Chief fights the hunters has one of the tanks that contains Specimen 1534. To me, it kind of looks like a monitor. Is Specimen 1534 a monitor? More specifically, is it THE monitor for Installation 03? [[User:S.g.ali|S.g.ali]] ([[User talk:S.g.ali|talk]]) 00:59, 3 January 2014 (EST)
:Unless I'm mistaken, Specimen 1534 is a [[Z-510 Focus Turret]].--[[User:Soul reaper|Soul reaper]] ([[User talk:Soul reaper|talk]]) 02:12, 3 January 2014 (EST)
::That's what I initially was thinking too, but the object does not quite look like the turret in Halo 4. It is possible that it could be a different type of turret or some other device. But looking at that object, I keep thinking that it could be some kind of a monitor. Then again, it could be something else completely.

I can't find the actual model, but I believe I found the texture of this object. If I'm right, it's called "Eye of Sphinx". It's in the same game level folder structure as the Halo Index (familiar t-shaped object) and the Mantle (the Forerunner world emblem seen in most Halo games) which are also contained specimens in that lab area of Ivanoff. Without finding the actual model, I can't be sure, but the texture and file location seem right. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 13:59, 4 January 2014 (EST)
:War Sphinx reference perhaps? That would be a nice Easter Egg... [[User:ProphetofTruth|ProphetofTruth]] ([[User talk:ProphetofTruth|talk]]) 14:11, 6 January 2014 (EST)

== Easter Egg ==

I don't think this should be classified as an Easter Egg. It's not a silly thing the developers placed in the game for the players to find, it's intent is to provide extra information about the surrounding plot of the game.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 11:38, 4 January 2014 (EST)

== Speculation on the Composer audio logs ==
Is there any way to verify the timelines for some of the Composer audio logs that don't have a stated date?  Based on the available information:
* Phosphorus test / Artifact test - Some people got digitzed when the Composer suddenly activated.  I can't say for certain which audio log comes first.  Also I don't if this happened in 2554 when the Composer was first excavated or in 2557 at Ivanoff Station.
* Ceased transmission - The Composer stopped transmitting something around 0900 on the 21st.  Could this be the July 21, 2557 date when the Ur-Didact was released from the cryptum in the Halo 4 campaign?  Also, the transmission could be the Composer's coordinates to help the Ur-Didact locate it after crashing the USS Infinity inside Requiem.
* Something big - Something big is happening outside Ivanoff Station.  This could be the Halo 4 Composer mission during the July 24, 2557 date.
