A new ARG you say? I hope they get people of 42 Entertainment caliber to head it up. IMO Iris wasn't on par with ilovebees.
I whole-heartedly agree. I wish I was more active in ILB.

What's with all this Halo 2 crap?

>:C

So 280-ish years have past, and then there was a slip-space rupture. Oh dear, it sounds like Bungie's still a -blam!- Halo factory.

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

Luke, you should have snagged that first post again this week.

Pretty good update. Didn't really learn anything new, but hopefully we'll hear a big announcement soon.

That Smuggler bit was quite interesting

They're talking about Halo 2, the Monitor was lazy, the Flood escaped, and over the course of 280-ish years, there was a war between Sentinels and the Flood.

So, then, what's Alternate Reality Game and how does that relate to a Halo map?

It has nothing to do with a map. And an ARG is just stupid nickname for viral marketing.

That update failed

wtf @ that lame gibberish at the bottom. Stop dodging some Halo 3 problems like the trip mine and do something about it.

Nice Update.

I needz to know what smuggler was all about... info on a new project perhaps?

  • 05.30.2008 6:56 PM PDT

:O...............





...........They are coming........



...............and they are pissed off.......

DEEP NNN = Depends

Clan 2old2pwn on 2old2play.

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

Perhaps Bungie's new game will be about the Founders?

Actually, a new Flood or internal Halo ring map seems more likely as people have already stated.

The last part was a little confusing. Kind of didnt kno what was going on except for something about the flood.

Smuggler=Containment remake. All I got for sure out of that is that the map is going to have a Forerunner background.

If 2401 is a year , 2512332 hours = 290 days

So 2401 - 290 = 2111 ??!

I hate these teasers

Come because it's Friday, stay for the last handful of sentences.


click for full story


Those last handful of sentences fail

The ARG Ended a long time ago.

I repeat: Those last handful of sentences fail


Go screw yourselves...Bungie decides when they want their ARG..not you..

2401? As in Penitant Tangeat?

*gasp*

Let's not forget Bungie still has 250 achievement points to use on Halo 3. I bet there is going to be some sort of campaign/Co-op DLC in the near future.

They have never teased a map like this before, only campaign.

Mark my words.

lol

Incase anyone wants a summary:

-The amount that br's will show up in TS is lowered by .4 percent. (Unnoticable change. I don't know why they did it, let alone mentioned it)
-They told us what they told us yesterday about the website changes
-Interview with some guy no one has ever heard of
-Random ARG babbling

More like 286.79 years.

Smuggler is one of the 3 new maps being prepared for release.

From the Weekly Update 5/23:
Upon returning, Smuggler has become a picture perfect nearly majestic play space with sinister undertones. Pristine construction is foiled by a staunch reminder of how often the best laid plans can fail.

Sounds like a Forerunner containment facility that has been taken over by the Flood. Expect a mix of Forerunner architecture combined with Isolation like Flood infection terrain....286 years worth of infection.
