danananakroyd Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I reckon Bungie told a load of interns to go crazy on the internet. I think a few people are taking this a little bit too far; it'll probably only have something to do with a new type of enemy or some twist of the plot.

H5N Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Could you please explain the link? I played Halo a long time ago and didn't really stick to the story...

stanley porkchop Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I thought the sounds were just supposed to be effects for the bee buzzing sound. And the "story" on the website doesn't have anything to do with Halo's current story. It seems to be more symbolic than anything- the "Operator" trapped while others ask her if she's okay. At first it sounds as if Captain Keyes might have survived, but being possessed by the Flood, living after getting half his face ripped off by Master Chief, and surviving the explosion seems a bit unlikely. So right now I'm guessing it has something to do with Kelly, the Spartan that Dr. Haley "kidnaps" because of her unique genetic makeup. There aren't really any facts to support that other than it being about a girl. The whole "sand spilling out of her head" thing is strange. I want to know what the friggin' countdown is for :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inextremis Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Yeah I want to know what the countdown is for too... it better be something good!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xer34 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Me and my friend were talking about this all morning. Weird stuff, like quotes from Gullivers Travels and stuff. I have no idea what was going on with that site, but maybe we'll all know in time. Whoohoo for Halo 2 though :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longwilli Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Well, this is a wierd one... Well, someone discovered that in the very end, the Xbox.com logo actually changes for a split second into another url - ilovebees.com. Now, let me tell you that what you are about to see will confuse the living hell out of you... If you go to http://ilovebees.com/ , A message pops up that something inside the system is degenerating it - a virus or other proggie. But, if you looked closely at the "SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX", you would notice that those first letters can also spell something else - "Single Player Demo Release". Yep, we believe that on August 24, 2004, at 00:06, A Demo of Halo 2's Single Player Experience will be made available. There are also other allusions to other dates (on the 27th, "network throttling will erode", possibly AKA "beta-testing will finish", and on the 10th, "this medium will metastasize", possibly AKA "Copies will start being made"), and a whole barrage of other extremely odd clues ("Seek the truth, Behold the truth, Reveal the truth, That is the law and the whole of the law"). Now seeing as Halo 1 had a massive amount of bible references, we can only assume that that is the source for all of these wierd clues, so I whipped over to http://crosswalk.com/ to search thru the bible for clues, I think this might be a The Da Vinci Code-type clue system set up by Bungie. I had no luck, but you guys might... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
