I get it now! MS didn't want anybody to know about it yet until the Tokyo Game Show because Halo isn't that big of a thing in Japan. If Bungie shows their big announcement in Japan they might get more people from there to like the Halo games. Therefore making more money from more customers.

we actually dont know its a game, we just know its halo related.Its just the last time they did an ARG, was to hype up halo 3. I personally think its way too early to hype up a game that wouldnt be coming out for 2 to 4 years

Wow. It's official. I can no longer keep track of what day it is anymore (I drive a truck for a living now). This is getting ridiculous. I am 24 years old, and the only way I know what day of the week it is, is by preparing for my stories (nfl football!).

Anyway, yeah, I recant on my statement about this morning being a possibility.

Somebody stick a spike grenade on the wall, by a doorway, about head height, so I can walk in and kill myself.

Someone earlier mentioned the only reference to Japan is because of the prowler class ship etc etc. I saw somewhere else that the letter to Keep it Clean when converted to numbers are actually coordinates for somewhere in japan. Ill find and edit this post with them in a sec... any thoughts?

Edit: Posted by user Sindre1 at the RvB blog comments:

"Keep it clean = 7141030n
7 14'10.30"N is in Japan.

Google Maps FTW. "

well we dont know that its a new game but if it is and they are hyping it upp then maybe they were working on it at the same time as they were working on halo 3 just serperatly although it sounds highly unlikely

  • 09.20.2008 11:48 PM PDT

very interesting is my thoughts

i think that it could have been like the way they did pirates of the carribean the way they filmed both the last two movies at the same time but its not likely. nice find on google maps btw

They have also said that not one of those three is necessarily Halo related. That long N word being the key word there.

And also, this those numbers being coordinates to a place in Japan, but also being the day they were going to have the E3 announcement, is it possible they are so tricky to pull the decoy fake release, actual release in Japan card. HAHA, did I even make sense there?

  • 09.20.2008 11:55 PM PDT

while i accept your praise, its probably already been said throughout the 57 pages of this, and im just repeating someone elses find, so yeah...
Thanks!

  • 09.20.2008 11:57 PM PDT

meaning they dont release anything in north america but they do in japan?

No, you did not make any sense. But, they probably did that... Microsoft in on it all - supposedly delaying the announcement... But instead waiting until Japan...

Or, maybe the coordinates mark Bungie's weapon that will make them the kings of the world...

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

red herring, isn't that a philosophy term, can't remember what it refers too though...

oh okay thx to post below me. saves posts right?

its meant to throw you off

  • 09.21.2008 12:00 AM PDT

Red herring just refers to a fake, like an idea or a concept put out there to throw people off, or an idea people pursue thats completely false.

  • 09.21.2008 12:00 AM PDT

and if the dawn should happen now then what?

  • 09.21.2008 12:01 AM PDT

Maybe CERN is firing early at bungie's request, so the end of the world is nigh. Maybe they are unveiling dark matter or black holes... Maybe.... There is NO dawn!

And Microsoft have said they have more than three teams working on Halo games, and some of those teams they don't own directly. They have their Ensemble team working on Halo Wars, their own team which they've been hiring for working on another Halo game, a team working on Peter Jackson's Halo (may be the same as the last one) and some other team they don't own working on something (please be Bungie).

That message talks about UNSC and ONI. UNSC is the United Nations Space Command, the human military force in Halo. ONI is the Office of Naval Intelligence, a branch of the UNSC (also another Bungie game).

Given all this I think it is very very likely that this is a new Halo game, maybe not Halo 4, maybe not about the Chief, but I'm fairly certain it is set in the Halo universe.

And considering the recent rumours I hope we hear about it Sept 25.

a red herring is where somebody falsely leads you in the wrong direction. So they named the ship after tokyo and snuck the coordinates in there so we would think it had to do with tgs.
