So far as I can tell, there are two possibilities in regards to who this communique is between. My gamble is that S1 is referring to either the Superintendent AIs - or far more likely to me, the Spartan 1 Project.

I cant be bothered to read such a long thread, but I'm going to guess that this point has been made already. Oh well!

Se1rahc, you can go ahead and say shot to this one as well. S1, as agreed by the community, is ONI Section 1. PLEASE read at least one page of this thread. I guarantee all your questions will be answered on that page and the page after.

**Edit -- All that proper grammar, then you merely forget an apostrophe in "can't." >.<

Your guesses are genius, can I have the lottery numbers?

look closely at the picture if you see the person standing on the cliff you can see objects above him/her, the one right above him/her looks almost exactly like a hornet as if you were looking at it from the ground at the right front corner of the hornet

My idea is that they are going to reveal the birth of something most likely the start of the Spartan-I, hence the sunrise people maybe referencing and the death of something I'm not sure.

I don't think the Superintendent appreciates "official" messages like this which have abbreviations and improper spelling/grammar.

It's cool, man. You have a reasonable excuse. Some of these other people just completely elect not to read.

Good for them, Halo is a FPS and should stay that way. I dont want a billion cheap spinoffs that would have doubtlessly sucked.

I mean whats next, Halo Cart? Its like Mario Cart only for the hardcore gamer!!!

Alright, I've been asked for explanations many times, and they get shorter each time. haha

Anyways, this game is most likely going to be related to The Fall of Reach. The reasoning for this is that the two people conversing seem to be in a hurry, meaning they were not prepared for this. In other words, this is a new threat, the covenant. The firing of the many archer missile pods resembles an exact event in the book. Thus, this may very well be based on the beginning of the entire Spartan/Mjolnir program. Maybe it will begin with the taking of the kids, training them, then sending them out to their first missions as in The Fall of Reach?

All I can say is, watch the webcams. The drink the grunt is holding, the handwritten sign, the boxes.. Hell, the PAX Event Schedule could very well be moved to reveal something under it. They update every 59.3 seconds or so, just for your information.

So, this is all mere speculation, as are everyone's thoughts. Eventually, this shall all solidify into one big "Tru7h", as Bungie would say.

On a side note, I'm very mad. I had to type this twice, and I probably left out information. >.<
Stupid link that guy posted.. I copied it, and it got rid of the text I typed and copied, because it didn't send.

Also, that link you posted, it's probably fake. Ensemble was busy working on Halo Wars. Why would they work on something as big as a Massively Multi-Player game at the same time? Things like that require a huge task force, something a sub-branch of Microsoft probably does not have. So, it has nothing to do with this. There is no need to talk about that here.

**Edit -- If you want my explanation of the previous Keep It Clean thread, then please refer to pages 90-138 or so of the article. You should find at least one of my many explanations there. Each one in there got more descriptive, so if you don't find one in that page range, then one will definitely be in 60-80.

I am reserving judgment until I see the real game, but yeah. I kinda figure its going to be a letdown. Age of Empires 3 was awful and the same people are making wars...... If Bungie was doing it the odds would be much more in their favor but I just dont have much confidence in a studio that hasnt put out a good game for quite a while and is now being shut down.

Well I guess its a half hour till we find out if we get another message tonight.

  • 09.23.2008 6:36 PM PDT

jumper i think your wrong. .....

Halo: The Cole Protocol will be the sixth novel set in the Halo Universe. Tobias S. Buckell, author of Crystal Rain and Ragamuffin will pen the novel, which reveals the location of the Spartan Gray Team and “takes readers into an unexplored conflict of the Human-Covenant War where unlikely alliances are formed and shattered…”

Bungie expatriate and Microsoft’s Franchise Development Director Frank O’Connor had this to say on the upcoming book, which is slated for a Fall 2008 release, “Buckell continues an excellent tradition that’s now a solid aspect of the Halo novels, bringing a fresh new perspective to a limitless universe and bringing his prodigious writing talents to bear in ways that will surprise and engage fans of the series and newcomers alike.

i think that the thought of a new game is slightly possible but not likiely.....bungie still has halo 3 and with the release of a new update they have plenty to do, and the last thing they need to worry about is another game....but im not saying that totaly out, and it would be pretty awesome of them

Spartan 1.... so excited... "it'll take a genuine act of god"... "I'll see what I can do"... so frickin' baddass..... You know, I'll admit, this really is my favourite part of the game. As painful as it is, the experience of waiting on baited breath for more scraps of info on Bungie's next project lasts so much longer than the game. For me that is. When I finish the game it's like the experience that started two or three years prior has come to an end. The actual game play is only 10 or so hours of the actual experience. This is my new Christmas... Jesuse, i need to walk away from my xbox for a while.... CARP! Fable 2 is coming out soon...
