Honestly I feel that the whole ilovebees thing is too big to be something simple...and that is only if it was Bungie's doing in the first place. I would love an early release, hell I'd love a Demo, but I don't really think either is going to happen. Nov 9th it is.

Try and stay on topic guys, It's starting to go off a little.

Edit- Sorry people, my computer is acting up. [Edited on 7/25/2004 5:53:57 PM]

damn 1 post every 30 seconds for 3 days straight to get to 6950 posts

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Darius Sorry about those mulitple posts .. when I click submit .. then the thing says Topic not found, and it makes me think I didn't post. Sorry yalls.[/quote]yea this thread is so big that it says that.

I am one of the unfortunate souls who doesn't have a PC fast enough to play the trailer. Is there anyway someone can post a screen that shows the ilovebees.com? Sorry to be a bother.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Battle Seeker it will not be a demo[/quote] who knows? we have to wait and see but im just saying it would make sense. alot more sense than an early release

*hoping for a Demo*

I think I'm all that's left of the night shift... (I pulled an all nighter with a couple guys and we gathered a crap load of info on this.) Just to recap, (I'm sure you all know by now) At least three sites were found containing the countdown timer, one Was Ilovebees.com, the second was Thefridgeowl.comm, And the last one is... (Long link...) [url=http://www.science.uva.nl/cms-forms/ai.php?formulier=vakkenlijst&sessio%20n=1&prog=122&fase=]A science thingy...[/url] The Fridge owl clock stopped at 4 days and 18 days, Ilovebees stopped at 2, and 16, and also the science AI one stopped at 2, and 16... This might be due to the fact that the sites need to be changed manually, (verifying in fact that they are fake.) But one thing is certain, we cannot trust the days left till something, except for the main countdown timer counting down to August 24th. Any info i missed here, plaease tell me (I've been sitting here brain dead most of the day and night trying to find stuff.... it isn't happening.)

Sorry about those mulitple posts .. when I click submit .. then the thing says Topic not found, and it makes me think I didn't post. Sorry yalls.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Darius I didn't feel like reading about 200 pages .. so I'm going to post my 2 cents that I've said in a different forum .. I was up at 12:19 one of these nights .. where it said it had 3 days left in the one that only is days left ya know? And at 12:19 I looked at the thing again, just to see if anything is different or if I missed anything .. anyways .. I noticed that the date changed from .. 3 days left to 2 days left .. now where I"m going with this is .. I live in Virginia USA, which is on Eastern time .. and if it changed dateths as mine did, than that must mean whever this timer is based is based on the east coast, and Bungie is in Washington State, 4 hours away .. anyways .. just so you guys know who are like from England or whereever .. that makes the doubt with Bungie less evident .. unless they wanted it to seem that way...[/quote]nice find, very nice find.

it will not be a demo

Man everyone is more interested in the Halo 2 part of this than the site lol I like all this messed up crap on here MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY FIELD EXPEDIENT DIRECTION FINDING "Find a straight stick about a meter long and stand it upright on fairly level upright ground. Mark the tip of the shadow cast by the stick: wait 15 minutes: mark the shadow again. Draw a line from the first mark through the second and some way beyond.

zanzibar multiplayer demo makes perfect sense - think about it when everyone went to e3 and then those who got to play zanzibar wrote the hands-on articles you heard alot of "i had my doubts but now im sure that halo 2 will be one of the best games ever" if not "the best game ever" or "it was so much fun i could have played for hours and hours" that was from one map zanzibar. imagine making everyone think that much better about halo 2. if bungie released a zanzibar demo it would just make everyone reassured that halo to will own. or if they had their doubts (like some at e3), they would see that there is nothing to doubt. also i would probly tell like 50 ppl who would tell each other etc. sounds like a good plan to me :D

I don't know about you, but Bungies goals are: 1. Make cool games 2. Take over the world Have you looked in the News? What was just taking up the whole paper a couple days ago? Counter Terrorism Intellegence agency. Almost exactly a month before aug. 24. Then the whole thing about 11/9 being invert of 9/11. Then the crap at ilovebees.com. ????? Halo 2 is more complicated than i thought

hell yeah we did

i need a good episode of red vs blue to clear my head

back, so did u guys ever found out what the message is?

shut up darius, its not a virus
