www.ilovebees.com now says, "In 5 days this medium will metastasize." Yesterday it was "In 6 days this medium will metastasize." August 10th will have something to do with this whole thing. Could anyone explain to me some speculations about Aug. 10th? It might be the date they release Early Release info to the stores and prepare them for August 24th. Just a thought. Anyway, send your ideas away!

Frankie told us it's not gonna happen. If you don't believe them you're gonna be left out on the world domination and youre gonna get crushed.

no one has figured out ilovebees. it's impossible we are only in phase 2. whoever said that ilovebees is all about the oxm issue? i think the rabbit hole is deeper than you think.

and no it is not a possiblity that there will be a release of halo 2 before november 9th, 2004

Dude, this topic is about ideas on what will happen Aug. 10th, so my personal views on early release is not the main focus on this topic.

Please keep the Aug. 10th specualtions commin!

Look, you can't trust Bungie anymore, cause if you do, then you are falling into their hands. They MADE the site and advertised it to MILLIONS of people for what? August OXM Special Edition? I don't freakin think so. I know what Frankie said, but why wouldn't he simply lie right now to keep the suprise (since we all seemed to figure out ILB pretty quick)?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not getting my hopes up, but why wouldn't you be waiting for Aug. 24th just as bad as Nov 9th? NO ONE KNOWS what will happen Aug. 24th except Bungie and it seems logical to lie to a forum of mostly ignorant people to make a stealth release of the game l33t! Flame me all you want, but you know it is a possability.


yeah nice edit your post to try to make us look dumb

Yes, it is called a 'countdown'. The numbers change from day to day.

Wasn't trying to make you look dumb, trying to keep this topic on course.
This is about Aug. 10th, not 24th. Unless your idea for Aug. 10th has something to do with 24th.

on august 10th you will see another development in the ilovebees game. what that development will? there are many guesses. i personally think we will see the corruption "spread" to other sites and see the story continue to develop and grow.

Finnaly, thank you Mr. 1 person to keep on topic.

Obviously it will be another development, and thats why it's leading me to believe new information on the Early Release.

"metastasize intr. v. To spread" Spread as in, ship the pre-order units to the stores? It's certaintly a possability.

Did you see any sort of official information from Bungie after the first phase? Why do you think there would be any after the second? The ilovebees site is it's own monster. The timers corespond to phases in the game. There will be changes to the website and new story developments. There will not be offical releases from bungie through the ilovebees site.

ilovebees is an ARG that is meant to be played.

don't expect screenshots, halo 2 secrets, demo, or an early release from it.

do expect background information and story line development for halo 2. if it is officially tied to halo 2.

[color=yellow]"ilovebees.com is DISPLAYED in a HALO 2 ad in movie theaters for MILLIONS to see.

What would any smart person do about this??? Ohh I don't know...MAYBE TRY TO FIND A CONNECTION???

hey! lets just pretend its a coincidence!

FRANKIE: 'No clue how that rumor gained so much momentum.'"[/color]

That is Predat0r's signature. Makes a great point: Unless Frank is a complete moron, why would he say something like that? It sounds SO out of character that is MUST be a lie. I'm sorry, I'm convinced anything that Bungie says about ILB is nothing but a lie. Aug. 10th, we will all find out.

Yeah, I think it's going to be an announcement on Aug. 10th, possibly that the game will be released on the 24th. Or it could be a demo.

If nothing happens and its just ARG/ilovebees site mutation junk, then it will be shocking proof that Bungie is mighty -blam!-. Why? Because Halo is the ultimate populist game--you don't have to be a Star Wars dork to appreciate it--but the same cannot be said of this corny ARG junk. Dungeons and Dragons dork might be more accurate, on second thought. Bungie, please don't be -blam!-!

Frankie never claimed to not know anything about ilovebees. what he claimed to not know about is how this august 24th rumor had become so wide spread. look at it from his point. all the official releases say november 9th. the only thing that the 24th theory was based on was:

1) an obscure acronym - the creator said it could create 100s of other combinations. ie he created on saying halo 2 was cancelled. the acronym doesn't even work anymore since the countdown text has changed.

2) 11+ 9 + 04 = 24 - i mean come on that is just stupid and worthless

3) lack of official denial from bungie - once frankie spoke up everyone said he has to be lying because he didn't say it sooner. did everyone forget he was in europe the whole week before?

4) countdown timer on ilovebees - does anyone really know what this is counting to. NO!!


so what points to november 9th? official bungie website, official xbox website, official halo 2 website, official halo 2 trailer, official halo 2 print adds.

what points to august 24th? those obscure fan created points i listed above. now come on which do you believe?

Maybe bungie just likes bees, or it's a countdown to the end of the world.

hey what about the long Halo 1.5 things... its not my idea, its just speculation on that rumor.


Edit: this rumor has been put to sleep long ago by bungie. my bad.

Wrong! Not OFFICIALLY. It was an offhand comment made by Frankie in the forums. Compare this to the time before when they officially rebutted early release speculation on the front page--or was it a Nintendo release rumor? I don't know, but it's there.

Bungie offically put that rumor to rest long ago. Here is the link to the FAQ.
