Halo 5 then?

 

[derFeef]

Oh god yes please.

 

[Dany]

it won't be the same. the fanbase for halo is long gone. :/

 

[Fracas]

I'd guess it's unrelated but who knows.

 

[bananas]

I think Major Nelson just likes bees and the other guy likes puns.

 

[jts]

Beads?

 

[Doffen]

I fucking hate bees.
I don't know why, I've only been stung one time, but they freak me out.

I also hate Wasps.
Bumblebees are cool though.

Yup.

beards.

Fuck bees. Annoying to have to remove the stingers. Wasps at least have the decency to not leave parts of their anatomy behind.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Iris was a lot of fun. That said, I don't think this Tweet is related to any of that. If/(hopefully)when they do another ARG, it'll be different from both I Love Bees, and Iris.

 

[Doffen]

That's not true. They've just been moved to the community section.

Glad to see the AD.gif represented.

I mean, they're not fooling anyone with it this time around, but it would be a nice little throwback to the past of the Halo series hype train I guess.

 

[No Love]

Guys, relax. This is just Major Nelson droning on about some mindless ish, as always.

 

[BAW]

I love bees was much more fun for me than Halo 2

I figured it as random since he does post some off color stuff sometimes, but the reply by Boyd makes me think that something is indeed up.

 

[Oni Jazar]

This really shouldn't be the start of a new ARG since mentioning the ARG in any way by the owners is like breaking rule #1.

I don't like bees. They are coarse and rough and irritating and buzz everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft ...and smooth.

 

[seventynine]

He can interested in bees all he wants. Bungie has nothing to do with it and my interest in Halo has now transferred over to Destiny.

 

[Man]

Much 343 talent leaked and two year dev time on so-so hardware.

Destiny will be my Halo game this year.

 

[phypes]

the web site is counting down on my phone but not on my laptop anyone else seeing this?

Haha! Using your force powers to hit on NeoGAF I see.

The web site has been counting down since the end of ILB 1.

 

[xBladeM6x]

Obligatory Nicholas Cage bees joke here.

 

[flattie]

Fuck bees. Annoying to have to remove the stingers. Wasps at least have the decency to not leave parts of their anatomy behind.

...so that they can come back and use them again (and again).

Spoiler

And again

 

[jelly]

Seems a bit pointless if you mention it and they have run their course, just show us the goods instead.

 

[Brashnir]

No, things here on Neogaf are pretty much exactly they way you described bees.

 

[gaming_noob]

Which website?

 

[anexanhume]

Maybe Oprah will do some cross promotional stuff for Microsoft

 

[Jawmuncher]

I remember the craziness over I love bees and Halo 2.
Man that feels like so long ago. Will be interesting to see how it's done this go around. Definitely would help to start building hype.

 

[DirtyLarry]

Could just be he is sharing this due to the widespread belief they are endangered and if we lose them we lose a whole, whole lot of foods that we appreciate and in some instances truly rely on.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Very true. I was once stung by one wasp four times in a row on my neck. That shit was terrible.

 

[sullytao]

Beaten

Ilovebees was run by some amazingly talented people who've all moved on, they'd have to be extremely lucky to find that kind of talent in the ARG world these days, unfortunately.

 

[Acquiescence]

I love the bees too.

 

[phypes]

www.ilovebees.com but as someone said been counting down for ages, i wasn't aware of that

 

[Kuroyume]

Do they love crickets? Cause that's all year hear from the Halo fanbase these days.

That's probably because it's been 10 freaking years, hahaha.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Would have to be some incredible ARG for it to work, they're kinda common these days.

ALL YOUR BEES ARE BELONG TO US. NEVER SEND A MAN TO DO A WOMAN’S JOB.

Half Life 2: Episode Bees

 

[woodland]

I love bees was for Halo 2 right? Teaser for Halo 2 Anniversary?

 

[Buttonbasher]

For what it's worth Elan Lee, who has been huge in ARG's since the beginning (he was one of those talented people on the ILB team), recently was hired back by Microsoft for their entertainment stuff. While I doubt these tweets mean anything, hopefully some cool ARG type stuff comes out of his involvement there in some form.

 

[pixlexic]

Not really. There are plenty of people still play halo online.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I think you're on to something.

 

[clav]

Titanbees?
