I think it may very well be the first television commercial for Halo 2.

Ya, but who created this hype? Bungie? No. Microsoft? No. We did. We chose to get our hopes high. And doing that often results in dissapointment.

Has anyone actually ever heard of a game "secretly" being released early? I haven't ...I have been told that is bad for business. Think about all those people who have..say pre-ordered the game and don't pay attention to all this stuff. They would be pretty mad if they found that out the hard way. In terms of my own prediction for what Aug 24th might hold, it could be so many things I don't even know where to start.

My biggest guess would be an official promo site for H2, complete with flash games and the works. Perhaps it is a precurser to the story line, maybe it was completly transform into something co-herant that is some type of pro-logue.

But now I am just speaking out loud. In fact, I have no idea...:P

seriously doubt it man...... not for all of this stuff... why would they waste there precious time that they need to work on Halo 2. by making a site and all this stuff just for a commercial?

First of, it's not "all this stuff" as you put it. It doesn't take too much time to make a site. And second, they could hire someone to do that, so it doesn't take time off for the creation of Halo 2. Finally, it is very likely that it is ONLY a site or commercial, because a few months back Bungie and Microsoft were reported saying that they are planning a huge marketing campaign right up to November 9th. This could be the start of it. Doesn't necesarily have to be the release of the game or the demo.

DON'T LIE. This is officially called being a fanboy. Who created the site with the countdown timers in order to induce/encourage speculation? Bungie/Microsoft. Has Bungie come out and repudiated any of the speculations? No. Are they aware of the specific speculations? Yes, so they have "actual notice". Bungie ain't your girlfriend, whom you need to shield from all criticism. It's not disloyal to state things as they are.

I am not criticising Bungie/Microsoft, I am criticising us. And I didn't say Bungie/Microsoft didn't create the site, I said they didn't create all this hype. If you think that is wrong, prove it. Did Bungie/Microsoft say there will be a demo? Did they say the game will come out August 24th? They didn't even hint it. Rumors these days, however, seem to be the same as the truth in a lot of people's eyes. And I am not "defending" Bungie, as I don't think there is a reason to "defend" them. I'm saying what I think is true; if people weren't so hopeful about everything, dissapointment wouldn't come to them. If I say "O look! There's going to be a Halo 3, because Halo 1 + Halo 2 = Halo 3!" I will probably be in for a lot of dissapointment.

there is no way that the game is coming out the 24th. Like it was said earlier, very bad for busniess. I think the promotional campaign is more likely

Or it might also be some sorta puzzle game that hints to the plot or something else. like a giant online enigma or something. if you looked at the pages long enough you might even find clues that lead to a big scavenger hunt. like look for the number 7 in paragraphs, i did see alot of those. I was testing out this theroy the other day and I found a cat named Farnsworth, stupid name so i looked it up and its the guy who intented television celebrated 75 years or something like that. that would also hint to a TV commercial ad. at least these are my theroys

This whole communtiy needs to stop overthinking EVERYTHING Bungie kindly gives us. Think about it nearly every weekly update there are the conspiracy theorists that think all those censor's mean Bots or a toned down pistol. They specualte on everything why should we be suprised all this hype has arisen?

I think it is just the beginning of their marketing campaign. Its quite clever really..... All this hype just because of a countdown on a website. I havent seen the trailer, i guess its an american thing. In american cinemas.

That is probably what it is, that or maybe at the end of the countdown the bee will make all the honey it can...considering it is a bee website.

yes its possible... but the website, and all the wierd messages for a commercial?i guess it wouldnt be unlikely for bungie to play off of the anticipation of Halo2 to disappoint our speculation... maybe they will spam everone who has there email in there profile whos been talking about this with emails saying nothing but "hahahaha... haha. ha hahaha!" *shrug* no idea...
