Is it just me, or does it seem like the whole mystery of ilovebees has reached the anticlimactic ending of Frankie's answer? It literally turned this forum upsidedown, with posts streaming in every second. This may have been only a temporary thing, but it really ignited the Halo community. To let it end like this seems to be a big let down for the amount of tension it built up. If it were an announcement of something more grand, like an early release, then ilovebees would have been the perfect lead up. This change in events may boost sales of OXM, but had disapointed the rest of us.

-S

At this point, it's better than if Frankie had said nothing. Too many people were too far off in their theories. It would have exploded when all those people discovered they were wrong on the 24th.

Unfortunately the rest of us, we have gained little, if nothing, out of the whole ilovebees.com events.

What exactly, by the way, were you doing?

I hate to quench hope and dreams, but in the words of Churchill, "Men occasionally stumble on the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as ifnothing ever happened."

My one complaint and perhaps suggestion, is, as mentioned, the sheer anticlimax of the mystery. Even if Frankie hadn't told us, imagine the mass let down on August 24. In fact I think Frankie did the right thing, preparing audiences. Now what could be gleaned from my complaint is that another mystery could be done, one in coordination with Halo 2. Yes, we know the ultimate outcome, but life is in the details.

What let down? Noone ever said that halo 2 was going to be release at the end of that timer. If you all got hyped up about that countdown timer, why not try this one. I think that one is a little more believable than the one at ILB.

I think deep down most people were hoping that there would be an early release. Not believing, but hoping.

It would only be a letdown to those foolish enough to get there hopes up, if it's a letdown at all.

See, it's never good to jump to conclusions.... It only makes matters worse in the long run...

But, I'm looking forward to that OXM magazine that should be coming on the 26th?

when the countdown ends OXM releases a magizine so why put i countdown timer on a web site that has messed up text(some of it has halo refrinces) and not tell anybody what is happening untill 3 days ago so really what is happening ir they really wanted us to notice it then why not just post it on the front page of the site that would be easier to do and would not have created any theroys like it is coming out on August 24th this dose not make since at all

Well, I'm hoping for something good. Not Demo, but very good and worth all of the excitement, time, and research.

Shame on (most of) you for thinking it was a demo, anyway. Release of Halo 2 on August 24? Right.

And to whoever asked: OXM is the Official Xbox Magazine.

Official Xbox Magazine. Something big has to happen with Halo 2 other than OXM. The countdown and screwing with ilovebees.com (if it even exsisted before the countdown got in there) is just too big for a magazine, even though it is supposed to have new screens and "every" detail on Halo 2. If they can give every detail on Halo 2 what's stopping it from being completed?

Offical X-Box Magizine. I was absent for the forums just before ILBs started up and when I popped my head back in I was overwhemled with this crazy theory and website. I found it a bit creepy, like something out of a sci-fi novel, but I still never knew how it was related to Halo/Bungie until someone pointed out it was flashed in the new trailer.

Honestly, I have no clue what will be going on with all this but I will most likely be checking on that day to see what happened. If for some strange reason Halo 2 is released on that day, I won't freak. I have my pre-order and that guarantees me a copy. =)

There is going to be a special OXM out on the 24th. If something does happen, this is it. Ignore CabooseMoose, he believes it, I don't anymore.

If ILB was a letdown, it's not Bungie's fault. They never told everyone to get all worked up about it. If anyone feels let down, it is their fault for getting their hopes up.

its funny how many people say that they knew nothing was gonna happen all along now that frankie has confirmed it. opinions seemed alot different a week ago. i am still optimistic. there is no way it is just a coincidence that frankie had a reference to bees in his post. i dont know why people are so mad that people believe something will happen on the 24. dont you like halo?
