I agree pouly poul. Doesn't hurt to dream. But many theories are pretty ludicrous. Everything is business. Games are business. Bungie is not going to make that kind of decision. PERIOD. Maybe we get something but I am betting that is just something that adds to the advertising and marketing of the product they will release on November 9th. Besides, as perfectionist as they are, do you think that they will not take advantage of having the game until the scheduled day of release to do even more to it?! Gimme a break. If I was a game developer/designer/programmer/composer/animator I would defenitely go for the extra time. November 9th is closer to the holiday season too..think about that.

I'm not sure if anyone has seen these yet; I didn't see them in any of the other posts I've viewed so far. They're mostly extra tidbits I found while randomly surfing around ilovebees.com:


MAYDAY MAYDAY
totally different kind of memory all of a sudden, floating up like a bubble from deep water, then *pop* on the surface of my mind. All in black and white for some reason, faded out, or just time bleaching the past like it does, time is hard that way, if you-

stop. stay on task, girl.
so *pop*, and I'm...

playing on the beach, very young, making a castle out of sand. It's a good castle, I'm smart, I'm really smart and I'm good with my hands and the castle is beautiful but the tide is coming up, I'm making dikes and moats and outer walls, getting a little desperate here this castle means the world to me it's way better than my brother's, but the tide is rising and rising, the tide is always coming up and no matter how hard I try to save what I have made, sooner or later the spiders wash over it and melt it down I'm losing the memory already I can't see myself was I wearing a dress or overalls or ...? There's a boy on the beach next to me but a wave comes up foaming with spiders and takes away his face-

oh.

we're made of sand.

we're both made of sand.

uh-oh.

I will stand firm. I will hold my edges and remember. I can do this. I know how to remember things, even through drugs and torture. seek evade reveal resist. I will not dissolve.

There are people who love me. I know that even though I can't remember them. I will not be forgotten. I will not be forgotten.

There are people who love me. There must be.

here come the spiders.

* * *

Seek the truth

Behold the truth

Reveal the truth

That is the law and the whole of the law

(CONTINUES INNUMERABLE TIMES)


* * *

HONEY

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY nd in about half an Hour the Boat was overset by a sudden Flurry from the North. What became of my Companions in the Boat, as well as of those who escaped on the Rock, or were left in the Vessel, I cannot tell; but conclude they were all lost.

lay down on the Grass, which was very short and soft, where I slept sounder than ever I remember to have done in my Life, and, as I reckoned, above Nine Hours; for when I awakened, it was just Day-light. I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir: For as I happen'd to lye on my Back, I found my Arms and Legs were strongly fastened on each Side to the Ground; and my Hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same Manner. I likewise felt several slender Ligatures across my Body, from my Armpits to my thighs

* * *

MAYDAY
Just remembered something important:

The Operator.

That was my nickname. That's what the rest of the crew called me when they didn't call me ... whatever my name was.

The Operator.

I wish I could remember their names.

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

FIELD EXPEDIENT DIRECTION FINDING

"Find a straight stick about a meter long and stand it upright on fairly level upright ground. Mark the tip of the shadow cast by the stick: wait 15 minutes: mark the shadow again. Draw a line from the first mark through the second and some way beyond. Stand with your left foot on the first mark and your right on the end of the line. In the northern hemisphere, you will now be facing north, and can recall the other directions by their relationship to north. In the south, contrariwise."

Hm.

No stick.
No sun.

It wasnt an advertisment! It was an Easter Egg thats why it just poped up for a second

Easter Eggs are meant to be seen so easily like that thats why you have to find them in games like the Bloody heart in halo.

I know this most likely has already been mentioned, but network throttling eroding... eroding could mean it is getting bigger... throttling might mean more people on the network....

The next countdown says this medium will metastasize, or be transferred, transmitted, or spread.....

and The last countdown.... To Wide Awake and Physical..... could mean quite a few things, most likely referring to the network being fully active, or the game being completed.....

I realize this has probably already been analyzed many times, but I'm new and I don't feel like reading 300 pages of stuff.....

Ilovebees.com is a totally fake site made by bungie

------YOU CAN'T TAKE A GIRL TO THE LIBRARY!------

if this has been posted then calm down, no one is gonna read every page here

in this past fridays weekly update it says

"I noticed the skyboxes are looking amazing. Skyboxes are basically the sky (duh) designed to look 3D with flitting clouds, translucent fog and a feeling of real space and height. One in particular made me actually gasp as I looked up. 'Gasp!" went I.

The skyboxes are often fixed later in the polishing process..."

meaning by bungies own admission they are almost done polishing the game

this topic split the community down the middle


I would have to aggree with that, I mean several pages ago people were -blam!-en at each other about religion politcs and other junk like that and now no one knows who to beleive, Only time will fix this. I hope this isnt just one big let down I mean it would be nice to have an early release, It seems like it could happen because there is a lot of clues going for it, but also on the other had it has clues to be something else. I just hope this all gets sorted out soon because this is driving people nuts.

My Theory on things is the game will be released on the 24 of August, but the reason they say November 9th the world will never be the same is there talking about earth in halo 2 that is when the attacks will happen. It says in the trailer we are not ready which could mean both us in this world and in Halo 2 earth, it says He is, which could mean the game is ready and In halo 2 he is ready to fight them.

Thats just my theory on things and it may be true and most likely its not but o well, I will find out soon enough...
