First let it be agreed that the erosion which took place is directly linked to the recent flood of forums everywhere.

ok so I was thinking about it and when the last timer ended, (erosion) Bungie's forums went down as a result of the flood of people.

erosion - flood hahahaha i luv it.

so! on to the next timer!

I read an article about this whole messed up ARG deal we are going through, and have concluded that it could be nothing else then the day all retailers are told Halo 2 will ship aug 24th. 2 full weeks for them to prepare. read what ilovebees says about this date, it makes total sense![/color]

And you're damn sure to get them too. This has been discussed enough.

And to anyone else: Please don't post otherwise you'll just bump the topic.

To the slayer45:
It's been said in at least 3 other threads, and in a gamesite write-up that's been linked too many times to count.

That's what has been said on every ilovebees thread. Well, most of them anyways but that's still a lot.

I think what will happen is what has been said before. Various video game publications will give a more than generous overview on soem of the stuff that Bungie has yet to have told the community, though that does not mean in any way shape or form that we'll know every little minor detail about multi-player or campaing. August 24th release date is definitely not a realease date for Halo 2, too many factors have to be altered simply because Bungie decided to release the game two months early: printing, shipping, packaging and so on. And besides, if Bungie were too release it two months ahead of time, don't you think for their's, xboxs', and microsoft's case that they would anounce a little before August 24th? If thats the case, then there would be no need to keep the whole secret behind the timer on ilovebees.com hence killing all the hype. All I'm saying is that hype and ploys can only go so far until it can be a potential downer for sales. People have jobs and more often than not usually want to keep them so they can support themselves and whoeve else they deem worthy.

You think 2 weeks is enough time to get DVDs stamped, boxes/manuals printed and shipped out to retailers for almost a MILLION copies? And you ask that guy if he knows what's going on with marketing "packagin"?

ROTFLMAO

...medium will metastasize...

metastasize
To be transmitted or transferred by metastasis.

To be changed or transformed, especially dangerously: “a need for love that would metastasize into an insatiable craving for attention” (Michiko Kakutani).

To spread, especially destructively: “ [disinformation]


Definitely means to come into being, change, or spread [news?]

So the at first I thought it meant that the website will disappear; but it does sound like news will spread about something. Interesting. I don't know, I'm one to wait and see.

the first count down was to a top microsoft meeting often called "meltdown." when network throtling erodes a meltdown happens. They may have been wrong but the timer was perfictly set and it made the most sence out of all the theories. Hope the information helps.
