Not sure if anybody has found this yet but while on High Noon I noticed a strange area labeled “Construct of Mordia.” I did a little reasearch and Mordia is a bungie employee to my knowledge but beyond that is anybodys guess. Here is a pic, seen bottom left corner:

Just found a pretty interesting article written in 2002 by Matt Soel and none other than this guy named “Mordia.” What’s even better is they explain how Halo CE and Marathon share many aspects! Coincidence…
I knew they would make an easter egg involving locations sooner or later.l Wouldnt be suprised if there were more.
Nice find. There hasn’t been too many easter eggs found or I can’t find a comprehensive list.
(runs and boots up xbox, map chosen- Solitary)
Nice post and observation, appreciate it
Where exactly is this area? Is it next to a structure, or is it just floating in midair somewhere?

> Where exactly is this area? Is it next to a structure, or is it just floating in midair somewhere?
I’m not exactly sure where it is but what is strange is I tried to look for it in the same area which is roughly in the center of the map and a little towards the front using the monitor but could not seem to find it.
Then I tried again holding an object(in this case a teleporter node as you can see in the pic) and centered the monitor reticule exactly on the metal rod that extends toward the portal. It then popped up for me to my surprise.
So from what I found, it looks like the area is in the air near the center of the map but you have to be in monitor mode and be holding an object to see it and have the reticule on the metal rod.
Not sure if 343 is trying to tell us something with that but anybody else get a different way to get to this area?
Kinda like that hidden message on Powerhouse at the bottom of the waterfall.
That’s pretty cool. Maybe there are more of these on the other maps? I know there’s one on Powerhouse called “Vaya Con Dios!” which means “Go with God!”.
The Mordia construct is te structure in the midle of the map with the rocket launcher on top.

Yep, just confirmed that.

Also did more research on Mordia. Looks like the name Mordia was used by Bungie employee Peter Marks who none other made the original Hang Em High map in Halo CE!
Unfortunately according to the article, Peter Marks passed away from cancer in September of 09 
I give respect to 343 for adding this little easter egg in as a tribute to Peter for this amazing map. He will be missed.
Spartans never die.
