Something big is about to happen. 9/25/2008 – 1 year anniversary of Halo 3 launch 07:07:07 PDT – End of countdown on redirect site With both of these together, and bungie's 7 obsession in mind, This could be bigger than big. Maybe they found Ling-Ling's head.

So the timer lands at 7:07 AM Pacific time. I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but tomorrow is Halo 3's 1 year anniversary. Released September 25, 2007. I don't know if this is coincidence or not. Just thought i'd let you know [Edited on 09.24.2008 8:16 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xMiDgEt MaN92x with the countdown on now to 7:07 PMT AM 2morrow, here are my thoughts. notice on the countdown that it says "There will be a payoff". and that on the TU2 update post it says and i quote: "First off are the “Vidmaster Challenge” achievements. These three will not earn you any gamer points but there will (eventually) be a pay-off. We’re not going to spoil the fun just yet but suffice it to say that gamerscore isn’t everything. There is a pot of gold at the end of the Vidmaster rainbow and it is something you will want. More details later." To me, this sounds like it is related. Why else would they say "payoff" in both cases? What could this payoff be? Possibly the Mythic Map pack, new game announcement, or whatever else. I guess we will just have to wait and see. [/quote] Naw i don't think it would give you the map pack you need the pack to finish the vidmasters. look at brainpan

Is this the next halo, the GOW/\GRAW tactical shooter

*facepalm*

Everybody. I found something. That site he put up reaaallly means something. If you click on some odd shapes on the odd thing that pops up you will either get a video or some files. I havent been able to download the files but check out the video. I think its some sort of note from what i think is the cheif telling us that we have to destroy something completely. It is halo related because you see the moniter in the video. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ThugMoshGrind is there a chance that this is another one of bungies marketing techniques? i was intrigued by the update so i went looking around and (unknown to me) bungie had arranged for someone else, or themselves, to assemble an Alternate reality game. both halo 2 and halo 3 had one called [i] i love bees [/i] and [i] iris [/i] respectively. the thing about the arg for halo 3 was that there were a series of numbers were revealed in a halo 3 comic that were suspected to be an ip address, but failed to lead anywhere until a few days later. these were the numbers: 206, 16, 223, and 65 the ip: 206.16.223.65 [url=http://206.16.223.61/e5h2jk/flash/web/index.html][ip leads here][/url] now being the suspicious person i am (like most of us here) i do believe si has been writing messages in his "KEEP IT CLEAN" posts, using numbers in place of one letter each time. the numbers correspond as such: KEEP IT CLEAN 0714 08 1030N (there have been no posts by si indicating whether or not there is a number corresponding to the N.) now im no computer whiz or such (and by all means, correct me if i am wrong) but given that there are the same amount of numbers in the keep it clean messages as the iris ip, is it possible that these numbers are an new ip for another bungie arg? 071.40.810.30 ? or 071.40.810.30N ? they lead nowhere now, but what about in the next coming days? weeks? months? most likely the numbers mean something. but one thing bothers me, if this was another arg leading into some big news or such, why would bungie do basically the same thing they did for a previous arg? this is my main doubt that my theory is (and it probably is) incorrect. personally i would think bungie would think up something new rather than recycle it. orrrr maybe they are pulling a trick on those conspiracy theorists like good ol ThugMoshGrind so people think they are going to do the same type of arg, when they actually do something entirely different. im up for criticism good or bad, and would love to hear what you've got to say. my "research" was done across the forums here and the halo 3 wikipedia page, most notably the marketing segment located [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing_for_Halo_3][Here][/url] if anything, this post is to help all you others out there to think up more theories and such and hopefully light that match that sets fire to the shadowed powder keg that is the Super Intendent.[/quote]

[quote]Hurray! He's back. New ARG FTW![/quote] wat are u talking about? whos he and wats an ARG?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Spazpuma yes!! finally our little buddy returns. soon he will tear through b.net like a rampant ai on a mission to destroy humanity! hooray for rampant destructive ai!![/quote] Well, I for one welcome our Superintendent Overlord. [Edited on 09.24.2008 10:16 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HASHBREW HALO RECON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote] Be glad I'm not reporting you. Any mention of that armor is ultimately thrown away by Bungie Moderators. Here you go, read this. Do NOT listen to And Here We Go, please. He's wrong. [b]PLEASE read this post if you want information on what is going on.[/b] Look, to clear everything up, I will paste my explanation yet again. Please take the time to read it. Thank you. [b]PLEASE read this post if you want information on what is going on.[/b] Look, to clear everything up, I will paste my explanation yet again. Please take the time to read it. Thank you. "Alright, I've been asked for explanations many times, and they get shorter each time. haha Anyways, this game is most likely going to be related to The Fall of Reach. The reasoning for this is that the two people conversing seem to be in a hurry, meaning they were not prepared for this. In other words, this is a new threat, the covenant. The firing of the many archer missile pods resembles an exact event in the book. Thus, this may very well be based on the beginning of the entire Spartan/Mjolnir program. Maybe it will begin with the taking of the kids, training them, then sending them out to their first missions as in The Fall of Reach? All I can say is, watch the webcams. The drink the grunt is holding, the handwritten sign, the boxes.. Hell, the PAX Event Schedule could very well be moved to reveal something under it. They update every 59.3 seconds or so, just for your information. So, this is all mere speculation, as are everyone's thoughts. Eventually, this shall all solidify into one big "Tru7h", as Bungie would say. On a side note, I'm very mad. I had to type this twice, and I probably left out information. >.< Stupid link that guy posted.. I copied it, and it got rid of the text I typed and copied, because it didn't send. Also, that link you posted, it's probably fake. Ensemble was busy working on Halo Wars. Why would they work on something as big as a Massively Multi-Player game at the same time? Things like that require a huge task force, something a sub-branch of Microsoft probably does not have. So, it has nothing to do with this. There is no need to talk about that here. **Edit -- If you want my explanation of the previous Keep It Clean thread, then please refer to pages 90-138 or so of the article. You should find at least one of my many explanations there. Each one in there got more descriptive, so if you don't find one in that page range, then one will definitely be in 60-80." ***Edit -- Now, I'm adding more. S1 means ONI Section 1. Stop saying new things for it, as it is old news. The Ombudsman may very well mean a Beta, as Beta tests are meant to take advice from people on ways to make it better. <--- That's the job of an Ombudsman. In the picture of PARDON OUR DUST, Banshees and Hornets have been seen. The Superintendent is in it, we all know, so stop telling us. The word is "Reinitialize." No need to analyze the picture any more. Thank you. Stop analyzing the Superintendent wallpapers. We've gotten as much as possible out of them from the last 200+ pages of posts with this thread and the KEEP IT CLEAN thread combined. Stop pointing out the Superintendent sticker in the Really Random Cam. That's way too old now. Odds are, anything you have to say has been said. So, we just need to wait for the next post to occur, or some form of update. Information about the KEEP IT CLEAN Thread: Each message in every language says "Please remain calm." Nothing new. TOKYO RULES has been said to point to the Tokyo Game Show, but odds are, that's wrong. The whole picture has already been pieced together, so don't worry about it. In the conversation text, the lack of alertness means the threat has not completely started, so it's in the beginning of the War. We are aware that seven Superintendents exist. The only real ones have the green background and Superintendent picture. Only one has posted in threads, and that one is posting these news articles as well. No more information is really needed about this. Along with watching the webcams, please continue to play Halo 3, as clues may be found in the game. Everything surely points to a prequel, that's almost blatantly obvious. As I think of more, I shall post them here. ****Edit -- Read this thread for more information.

HALO RECON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DUDES I FOUND SOMETHING HERE, I may have figured it out, what the new game is going to be. um someone may have already posted this but if u look in the last two wallpapers named "No Public Access" and "Mind the Gap" on the upper right corner there is the combination of letters "IILIILL" which i went on bungie.net "find players" and typed it in and I found a new superintendent with a MARATHON wallpaper behind and the MARATHON symbol to boot!!!!! IT'S GOT TO BE A NEW MARATHON GAME!

i think this might be a promotion for the new halo book seems logical considering all thier other projects r n the dark

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] KSI smithers ive got 2 qquestions; one, what is ARG two, what is TU2 also, i have a hunch thatthis may be tied to the possible halo movie (hopefully in production)[/quote] ARG = Alternate Reality Game. Something used to bring a game into real life and involve the community directly. TU2 = Title Update 2 AKA The new up-and-coming update.

WTF?!?!

If you all go back and read my posts, Spartan's posts, Lancaster's posts, Punisher's posts, etc. then you will learn a lot

Your cryptic messages scare me.

o. o wow, simply wow.

what is this about. its making really angry. grrrrrrrrr

I'm a bit late here, but yeah, this thing is definitely kicking off again. Guess we'll just have to wait for more info.

I figured it out! Lukems and Shishka are going to play team doubles this weekend and anyone who can find them and beat them gets a reward! ...Just kidding. I have no idea what this thing is all about, but i guess time will tell. There are a lot of things that are possible=Mythic map pack? Opening for new game? There are a lot of possibilities, and I can't wait to see what it is.

Um...what the heck was that? New storyline/game? Halo3 Expanson pack?? JK But does anyone know what exactly this is?

this can only mean 1 of 2 things 1. bungie is about to do something big and invitably awsome 2. they're jus messing with us(lol i was the first to call it if they are and i never said anything if they arent)

This is obviously going to be a squad based game, I think the superintendent is going to be like your new cortana, the guiding voice that goes w/ ur squad
