I was trolling through old announcements, and I dont know if any of you have seen it ... but I was looking at something "Kpaul" posted, and Ciaran Walshes website. Anyways, here it is http://www.haloscreensaver.com/ . Now, if you look in the upper right corner, it shows a countdown, for those who dont want to do the math, put your mouse over it and watch the box that shows up...I am not sure if it is real, but it is on the site KPaul linked, there is a countdown...Anyone have any opinions on this?

Not sure, it looked fairly legit, I wonder if it was something hidden behind everything that maybe we were supposed to find? If you think about it, the fan club is the seventh column...maybe that would fit it, I dunno?

interesting...

I doubt that the countdown really means anything because the site isnt run by bungie AFAIK (I'm pretty sure it's just some site that a fan made to distribute a screensaver)(very nice screensaver btw I've been using it for several months now). It is counting down to 7/7/07 which is a nice date for guessing because it holds a lot of symbolism/meaning for bungie.

but then again so would january 17th, november 7th, etc. The date is probably just a guessed date and the guy made the countdown to help pass the time. i remember a lot of us here on the forums did the same for halo 2. we all built countdowns to november 9th and some people built countdowns even before we had a release date that went until random dates that some people thought would be good days for a halo 2 launch.

7/7/07 is the same date that Hideo Kojima is planning to release Metal Gear Solid 4, do you think that Bungie is gonna release their killer app against Sony's killer app - MGS 4?

that would make sense because MGS4 is what sony is really betting on the be the big seller for the PS3. M$ is releasing Gears of War and they seem pretty hyped about it (they way they were talking about it at e32k6 seemed like they were going all out on Gears of War). My guess is M$ is going to steal the crowd with Gears of War and then kick sony while they're down by releasing Halo 3 on the same day as MGS4.

pretty smart M$... Pretty smart.

That will really make my day if I just discovered Halo 3s release date, it really would. That would also make a ton of sense Silent. (I am starting to feel like maybe I did!)

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

Yes, I think you did too. Props. It would make perfect sense, and it would be the perfect marketing move, too. If Microsoft REALLY wants to make Sony look bad, then releasing Halo 3 on the same day as Metal Gear Solid 4 would be the killing blow, along with Gears of War, whenever that comes out.

So in short:

Sony, start digging your grave.

Genious. In my oppinion, this is the smartest thing said about the release date of halo 3/microsofts plans that I have heard. Nice job explaining it for the stupid people like me Jump4h

That was random ghost, it seems you are the only one to think that so far. Also, can I gett a forum ninja in here to confirm if I found anything, or maybe PM? I have a feeling I didnt, but it would still be pretty sick if I did.
