It's maybe a hack or just some programming joke, but now www.bungie.net (without the /Default.aspx) displays a page with just the text "helloworld".Check out the strangeness:www.bungie.netIn case this anomaly disappears before you catch it, here's a screenie:Screenshot

Halo Wars ARG most likely.
It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.
I haxed it up.
Same thing happened to me. 'helloworld' is a sort of training phrase for amateur C++ programmers. Probably something wrong with the page.

I don't see why the programmers for the web team would put the most basic code to cover their page...New idiot on the team? Or they let the Webmaster out?[Edited on 03.04.2008 8:15 PM PST]

Just talked to stosh. He sent a text to runningturtle. Says he probably misconfigured something. Site still works like this

Okay okay okay... it's being cleared up, no ETA but someone knows about it. Top men are on the problem... and by top men I mean stosh is waiting for a bus to get to the airport... I hear Achronos is out for blood.

its fixed
Someone said it Fryeball getting back at Bungie that what they're saying over there!
Fixed... See what happens when I leave for some coffee... gosh Stosh...
Call me Wolfie | My anti-drugNew Flood for life <3 We’re looking back laughing because they called us crazy, but we took that chance on that feeling, living for the moment, we were spinning in. Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy.
I told Stosh he broke Bungie. It's still not working for me :/
I noticed it too. I cleared my cache just in case, and it seemed to work.The idiot/glitch that caused it will be repaired very promptly...
Looks like some silly office shenanigans, rather than "hacking". Looks like the server couldn't find the index, panicked, and just loaded up the default one?Dunno. But I still blame Stosh.

But I do know 'helloworld' is a sort of training phrase for noobie C++ programmers.
It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.Posted by: chickenlittleCheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.
It still doesn't seem to work.
