Ok, Something weird is going on with bungie at the moment, give me a moment to explain: In the halo 2 theatrical trailer at the very end when the Xbox sign appears... look down at the www.xbox.com it very quickly changes to another website then back again...

[URL]http://www.gametrailers.com/gt_vault/t_halo2_theatrical.html[/URL]

see?

What website i hear you ask?

Well. this one:

[URL]http://www.ilovebees.com[/URL]

Don't just click the link then close it. look at some of the pages and just scan it. It's weird, Like it's been hacked, the webmaster supposedly doesn't know what's going on. It has some kind of countdown which counts down to the end of August and the start or September, obvious thoughts would think it would be a new trailer or something but what if it's a major announcement about a new game-mode or something.



Trust me when i say it's freaky.

I'm quite a cynical person.. so maybe it's just me but I'm quite convinced this is an elaborate ad.

Nice one, Bungie.

And anyway, what sort of 'smart hacker' would be able to get into the Bungie servers and edit a trailer so that they could advertise their elaborate freekeveryoneout plan?

Also, notice the blog was started recently.
From the way its written you can tell that either whoever is writing it is either an experiences blogger, or a very good writer..

And anyway, since Margret can edit ('FAQ Q: What happened to this site? A: No idea. Help me out here.') the site since this 'hijacking', why doesnt she take it all down?

I wonder what Margeret will get out of this?

Considering her site is being used as a hijack-ee for one of the most hyped up games ever. Maybe her business will boom after Halo 2 is released. If i was her i couldn't wait for Halo 2 to be released.

That site seems too 'nice' and perfect, and it was only registered in June this year...

I wouldnt be surprised if this was Bungie's work, although probably seperate from Microsoft.

Dude, this seems to of sparked quite a lot of interest and speculation on this and many other forums.

I reckon it's some Bungie ploy to get people interested and "together as a community".

It's working.

Think about it, Strange appearance of some site on an official game trailer, strange happenings on this website, sudden speculation on forums. Brings people together, re-inforcing the whole "community" aspect of Xbox Live and what not.
