[PaYnE]

Bang!

Young and out of uniform,

It is most likly a marketing scam, but its still very scary.

Did anybody ever read the Cortana letters?  If you compare the two, in terms of how utterly creepifying and strange they are, it matches right up with the ilovebees.com site, and all things contained therein.

This kind of thing is -right- up Bungie's ally, if you ever played all the way through Marathon 2 and (especially) Infinity, text like this also pops up left and right on Terminals.  Especially the text youll find in the level's "Kill your television" and "Feel The Noise" (in particular the one term. where Durandal is talking about his past)

I think the real reason Bungie is doing this is more to just screw with our heads than get marketing done on the cheap, though that is always an added bonus.  People are anticipating this enough to generate their own hype and hysteria, but just a little napalm on the fire never hurt anything...well, ok yes it did, but nevermind that =)

Right, im going to stop before i start reminiscing about the 'ol Marathon days

Heh, use your imagination, people. It's a transmission from the good people in the future on earth being attacked by the Covenant! All this jibber-jabber about "escape resist survive shipwreck scallwag poopsex" is about Earth's call for help! And stuff like that. duh!

In 12 days the invasion begins, and these are only echos of the future.

Anything you need to know is there.

Also its counting down to the 24th and looky here> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/maddya/mag2.jpg

     Lone is absolutely correct. Anybody who thinks this isn't made by Bungie is barking up the wrong tree. It's precisely Bungie's style. http://marathon.bungie.org/story/

Well, it has to be Microsoft/Bungie related because it appeared in the official Halo 2 trailer.

[BTs_Mysterio]

As I said it's a neat idea, but the news companies should stay out of it or play along. Let us have our fun.

[crypt]

Well this whole thing has heated up a bit.. sorry to bring back an old topic.

http://www.ilovebees.com/links.html

Check that out, apparently there are 210 pay phones spread out across the US, and those pay phones ring at an exact minute at different times and someone asks you for their name or nickname, it's either Melissa or Operator, respectively. Then they ask you the code name of the "group" of locations for that 21 minute or so time frame. After you respond correctly to both question, apparently "Axons" go hot and a new .wav file is unlocked on the website and supposedly piece together when all sets of Axons go hot.

If this makes no sense to you, I advise you read abit more about it here: http://forums.xbox.com/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=154
Also, I advise you not to look into it if you don't have a bit of time on your hands. It's quite confusing. (did i mention addicting?)

EDIT: The register for the forums is simple, just put in a name you don't need to get a confirmation email or anything, just put the name you want (if you are gonna post)

[Supernatural Pie]

lol... turns out there's a phone in my area, just one town over, in the "message_saved" code group.

But that group is already 2/2, so I don't need to bother.

[l ! l Ross]

Been watching the site for a while. Since the countdown finished I have been listening to the audio files that are getting unlocked.

Pretty cool but so far most of the audio flies mean nothing. Unless Halo 2 is far more in-depth story than the first one.

[crypt]

Closest one for me was like 2-3 hours

[BFG]

Well thats it. - kiss your loved ones and brush your hair, the end of the world is neigh

[Supernatural Pie]

Part of me always knew that Bungie would bring the end of the world...

[kos.viper]

So much future talk going on in those audio clips.  Obviously there are a couple of AIs that this computer guy is talking to, and this weird chatter net protocol.  

[crypt]

What do you think it all means? It better give me someting about Halo 2 as I followed it pretty much all of yesterday.

In other news, I saw the first ever shown Halo 2 tournament footage. Too bad the player who played sucked so bad he kept dying.

I'd give you fellas the link but it appeared to have disappeared. It was about 123 MB. If I find a later link or BT file, I will provide it.

[Maniac]

Woot this game is going to be fun.

[bronto]

i think it's some kind of nerd trap.

[crypt]

Well everything is 2/2 and we just let the nerds decode the .wav files and shit. and it's at 103/777 Axons quite a ways to go anyway. November 9th will be here before that is over.

The axons don't total 777, there's only 140 odd ones. I think 777 is a representation for bungie.

[Mr. Lothario]

     The number 7 has great significance in the Marathon universe. You fellows should really read the Marathon Story Page. Bungie's got some great writers.
