Trigates

So, does anyone else know about the Trigates that were found through out the Halo series? Some think they’re just a programming glitch and others think they were meant to do something special or hide something but were left unused. Would anyone else like to see them do something with this in the MCC?

I remember the tri gate of Delta Halo… me and a couple friends tried to open it back in the day.

Ah, the Trigates.

What great mysterys they hold.

Maybe 343i can add an Easter egg in H2A for them. Maybe unlock a special video or terminal or something like that.

If they were part of the terminal system, that would be pretty awesome. Or what if they teleported you through time, one second you’re playing Halo 2 and the next you’re transported to a trigate in Halo 3. That would really screw people up.

Can somebody explain? This is honestly the first time I’ve heard of “tri gates” in Halo…

What are Trigates?

> What are Trigates?

From my understanding, they are textures on walls and other surfaces that show triangles.

It’s common place to find Devs mirror textures on symmetrical objects to save time. Sometimes, where the textures are mirrored, people can see all sorts of crazy things.
Most of these are skulls and faces, because the Human brain is wired to recognise faces, but sometimes when there are lines in the textures, the mirror forms triangles.

This isn’t a very clear image, but you can see the reflection on the wall and how it forms various faces. Video here.

Some people believed that the ‘trigates’ were secret doors to other places, but that’s as far fetched as the secret of Sandtrap, what ever that was.

The secret of Sandtrap could alway be revealed in this new version…

I can’t believe that some of the Secrets of Halo 3 still haven’t been revealed.
