Well, after several days of trying to to figure out this great publicity stunt, many answers have come to me.
First of all, we would all hope for an early release of halo 2, but we all know that is wishful thinking. (however, a demo may not be to far fetched..)
Second of all, the answer is SPIDERS. Yes, spiders, how many obvious references are there to spiders at ilovebees.com. Not just in the source code but on the actual pages themselves. If you look at the blog page in a white box right underneath the header I Love Bees, there is a quote from the book The Metamorphosis, talking about a man named Gregor Samsa who awoke to find himself changed into a "verminous insect". Another obvious reference is made to greek mythology about Arachne, a woman who was changed into a spider by the Goddess Athena.

So on August 7, or july 27, when those timers run out, we can expect to hear about spiders in the story of halo 2. Maybe it will be footage reased or perhaps some still images of a new master creature that is in a spider like form.

and thirdly, this is all just one big publicity stunt. We can refer back to "The A.I. Game" Created by Microsoft to surround the Spielberg movie "A.I." And as I was reading the forums, a comment stuck out and proved it's relevancy in this situation. The simpsons did an episode where a skeleton with wings was unearthed and the whole town prophesied and speculated, but when the time was at hand for the end of the world, the skeleton lead the town of Springfield to a brand new shopping mall, where they were more than happy to purchase new items.

Hopefully, a more full explanation may be reached, but until then,
1)Hopeful game or demo release
2)Spiders
3)Publicity stunt that is working.

Absolutly no way its a demo. There is no need. Already enough hype behind Halo2. Think about it harder and you'll discover some better solutions.

The spider is spelled SPiDeR but I doubt there will be a demo. http://www.zogdog.com/theboard/viewtopic.php?t=3925

The funny thing is I can't think of anything that could possibly "happen" as an endresult of this puzzle that woudl warrant the incredible detail and time put into it. I mean, I'm holding out that it is some sort of background story that's being revealed to us and the myth of the widow and queen is somehow important to someone's race in Halo 2. I even think the AI mayday calls could be a thoth-like AI calling a Spht' "Kr like race for assistance that will prove essentail in H2.

But on the other hand I agree with Louis Wu . . . a fall is being set up.

Or it could be some M$ announcement of some new game and they're using Halo 2's publiciy wave to ride it in on (like reannouncinig Pheonix. I swear, that widow omyth story sounds like something of a medival RTS game woudl have . . . ).
