OK, let's be realistic here... there's no way it could be the release of HALO 2, although that would be one hell of a big surprise. It could be a demo of some sort, but Bungie themselves has stated that they are not going to release that either... unless of course they're liars. Below is a list of possible things the countdown at ilovebees.com website could countdown to:

* A new HALO novel by Eric Nylund.
* The next series of HALO action figures.
* A plethora of new screenshots and gameplay videos.
And then there's my personal favorite:
* HALO 2 mass marketing begins AUGUST 24

Think about it, "countdown to wide awake and physical". When you see the billboards, commercials, radio spots, news, etc. The news of the release of HALO 2 will spread like a "virus"...

This thing they did is one of the most ingenious marketing ploys ive ever seen. And they would not do this for somthing for so small as action figures.

ive been thinking of the wide awake and physical title. now that everyone has speculated that it may be the release of halo 2, i have decided that if the news were spread on that day that it had been released poeple around the world would be wide awake and running to get the new game. hence, wide awake and physical. just a thought.

wait i think i got it... Bungie will probably open the XBOX Live BETA testing to the public... kinda like M$ did with LIVE... everyone will be wide awake the day that Bungie says that the first 5000 people to send in an email will be able to participate in the LIVE beta testing of HALO 2... that's gotta be it!!!!

They did say in the FAQ that they werent going to release a demo, but have you taken a look at the FAQ lately? The part about not having a demo is gone.

could be to throw us off? True,

but there are just too many coincidences, on the OXM website, they all of a sudden have a pole asking how much we are ready for halo 2, halo 2 is the only game up there..

Wait a second! Did you say August 24? WOW, thats the same date a very special OXM comes out, its even marked on my calender, August 24 is supposed to be the release of an OXM with tons of Halo 2 info, maybe even some Halo 2 vids on the demo disk. Maybe thats what the countdown is for; the release date for an OXM with tons of Halo 2 info. To me that is still important enough for a countdown. Maybe it'll have NEW screens or something.

Although I wish it were for Halo 2s release, I just don't see it happening. ACE 777, I think you're right.

on www.ilovebees.com i found this: the EGEPTIANS (IM DUTCH SO PLZ FORGIVE ME IF ITS WRONG) used honey for medicine. So the forrunner build the piramids (correct me).
thats what i call AN LINK to halo 2. I think there would be a level in those piramids, also a multiplayer map. and on 24-08 there will be a single player demo, I swear!
