Ok. This crap has gone on too long, even though it JUST STARTED.

First, quit using this blessing from Bungie as a means to FLAME other board members, even starting POSTS just to say how the others are wrong. Is it the lack of mental capability to have a logical debate or is it you just like to argue? Thats all I have to say on that matter.

Here are my theories on ilovebees.com:

First, there is the opening page, which you have all seen:

HALT - MODULE CORE HEMORRHAGE

Control has been yielded to the
SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX.

This medium is classified, and has a
STRONG INTRUSIVE INCLINATION.

In 2 days, network throttling will erode.

In 16 days this medium will metastasize.

COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL:
30:04:01:26:179

Make your decisions accordingly.


I think this is overlooked, and here is what I have to say on it.
HALT - MODULE CORE HEMORRHAGE
This is Cortana and Master Chief inside Halo, and more specifically, Cortana within the databanks.
Control has been yielded to the
SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX.

Perhaps when Cortana gains control of all of the Information, learning of what Halo is, how it is used and for what reasons.
This medium is classified, and has a
STRONG INTRUSIVE INCLINATION.

I believe this means the will of MC and Cortana to destroy Halo after learning of its secrets.
In 2 days, network throttling will erode.

In 16 days this medium will metastasize.

Network throttling is controlling how much traffic (bandwidth) is on the channels. I think after Halo was destroyed in CE, some kind of transmission was sent (perhaps from the Monitor?) to the other Halos, perhaps triggering something (the release of the Flood, perhaps?). This would make sense because it says the medium (referring to Flood?) will metastasize, which means to grow like a Cancer.

COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL:
30:04:01:26:179

Make your decisions accordingly.


I think this points to the gameplay of Halo 2.

This is where MY theory comes in. Perhaps Halo 2 is non-linear. What if you can lose to the Flood, or whatever it is pointing too. Too make you decisions accordingly, to me, means to take part of what will happen, analyze it, and take action. What if you visit different regions each play through, and depending on the way you go, more pieces of the story will fit better. Maybe this is pointing to a multiple ending scenario, where MC can lose in the end. A Halo universe where you choose where you go next. Maybe some levels will have 3 or 4 different paths, each taking you somewhere else, even possibly leading to end of the human race.

Maybe the missions will be prioritized. Lets give an example. Call them Areas A, B, and C (for example purposes only).
If you go to Area A, take the path to Area C instead of the path to Area B first, when you do visit Area B, there will be a change in the story. What if the game is a giant twist, and one play through will NEVER reveal all the "behind the scenes" glory and story of Halo.

Bungie is keeping this under tight wraps, and maybe they have a card up their sleeves.
This is my take, at least on the FIRST PAGE, of The Bees

Any comments/debate/flames/whatever please post below.

Make your decisions accordingly.
