Funnily enough, it isn't. From last year's E3 vid, we know that HALO 2 uses the MC, but so why not use this Enkidu stuff to set up some of the backstory for part Deuce? For instance, what if the covenant or the flood win on Frigid, and launch towards Earth? What if Frigid is where the covenant find the new "secret character" for HALO 2? The possibilities are endless, and that makes me happy. I seriously doubt it is fanfic, if only because of the hosting sites. It's hard to believe that Bungie just gives those sites away to any fanfic, regardless of quality. Besides, it makes perfect sense for Bungie to release this stuff now, so we don't get bored out of our minds waiting for this year's E3, or studying for finals.
Bungie can't give away that space for fanfic because they don't own it. Bungie.org are the people who own it, and they are not affiliated with Bungie or Bungie.net. This has all been said before, but I'm repeating it to quash rumors...
Bungie.org has many sites halo.bungie.org, marathon.bungie.org, enkidu.bungie.org. In fact something many of you seem to look over is that Bugie.org didn't have to register another website with smallbits, www, halo, marathon, and enkidu are just names or ailiases for servers within the Bungie.org domain.
Bungie.org may have hosted the terminals at Bungie's request, the Cortana letters were sent to Hamish at marathon.bungie.org. But they could also be a work of fanfic by the Bungie.org crew...
