MC as in Master Chief?

We already know, it's in the first Halo book: "The Fall of Reach" - the whole Spartan (MCs) program is explained there.

I'd recommend reading HALO: The Fall of Reach and HALO: First Strike, but avoid HALO: The Flood as it just retells the events of Halo. Reach basically sets up the entire universe, and ends just as the first game begins. First Strike begins just after the game ends, and ties up the events of the first book. It ends just as Halo 2 begins, or so, and really gives you a good idea of what to expect.

As for your "they really need to at least make something for those that havent read the books" - well, the books basically exist to expand and explain the Halo universe. The game is just that, a game. You don't need to read the books to understand either game, but it will help. Since it's all supplemental info, well I think it works perfectly to use books for that medium.

This game is pretty freaking cool. I remember following "The Beast" game that came out to hype A.I., and it was far more engrossing than the movie!

Nice theory there...Even it it's dead wrong, it's really interesting to read and contemplate. I think I saw some more new stuff on ilovebees today too by the way.

edit: whoa. there's more new 404 images showing up now. Freaky stuff.

What's special about that wav, other than what was said at the Bungie site? I tried manipulating it, but I didn't get any worthwhile reuslts.

Here'es what I found inside those killer.jpg files that show up on 404 pages:

"One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug."

That's the quote underneath the blog title.

Just so you know... it's from Kafka's The Metamorphosis.

I'm not really INTO all of this ilovebees.com mystery... but upon going through and reading the blog... it struck me. Maybe this means something to someone? :)

Been finding some more stuff today...Some of it might be repeats but...

Some unbelievably primitive anti-virals, shambling around like dim-witted crocodiles.
Would have laughed if I could have moved. Not so funny when all you can do is watch the

words. Once, for instance, she sunk her probe into my brain and out leaked the word for "loneliness" in three hundred languages.

The Spider doesn't understand about the Assassin. Spider's just a reflex, a task and a toolset. Doesn't get the bigger picture. I'm nailed to a griddle of sand while some bitch is
shooting

Only the Spider kept me alive, obviously. Ducking, hiding, grabbing onto any handhold while the purges came down, the overwrites

can't even get to her stupid HOUSE.

oh great, this time I can *feel* the pings. Everything, I can feel the traffic, my skin is sliding around, pores opening and closing, feels like empty shell cases rattling in my

I find myself checking back on certain things, little memories I locked down tight and swaddled up for future reference. Seems as if all the 3-sense memories are gone - wiped out by the Assassin or the Servant or pure impact damage - but I still have some of the faintcopy

I give it the thumbs up; this sort of marketing may have been "done before," but certainly not as much as 99% of the other ads out there, and there's definitely new directions in which to take it, so I applaud the effort; the worried can rest assured that this will in no way hinder the generic "in-your-face" mainstream ad campaign.

ihatebees.com now works too...Just the timer though...Could be someone outside the ilovebees thing just trying to mess with us but anyway. Put the bold letters together and you get...

The Covenant are big religious freaks...Probably stretching it though.

That's kind of the question I keep asking myself whenever a new bit of story gets discovered from the page. A lot of it sounds pretty silly.

Still a neat idea for an ad campaign though, if not entirely original (then again, what is these days?).

Get this...I just went to pick my girlfriend up for work...I get there, and she's on her computer. Her mouse pointer icon is a bee...Can't tell you how wide my eyes went after seeing that and all this.

Has anyone thought of connecting this to Halo: First Strike?

In the book Cortana makes a copy of herself...Then her copy, copies herself. By the end of the book, there are countless copies of Cortana, so many that they all overlap eachother, and as more and more copies are made, they become more flawed. So they are all speaking, and are becoming flawed and stuff...

Could be something like that going on at ilovebees...All the copies of Cortana are sending messages at the same time, scrambling all the messages up, into incoherant and random phrases? Hmmm...

I added a new question and answer to my previous post.

I've got some questions now.

After posting that GIF I saw at Team Xbox, it's obvious that the unscrambles versions of her pictures are around. How do I access them?

Where was that voicemail found?

How does killer.jpg randomly change every time you load it? I've made my own HTML page that links to www.ilovebees.com/killer.jpg, and it's one of the same three or four pictures all the time.

I'm glad I left. Big picture still the same: hunt the bitch down and do her before she does me.

Someday I am going to win free of this Babbage Machine and I will find the designer of the Spider and I will kill him and kill him and kill him and: okay, three times is probably enough. But I AM SOMEWHAT AWAKE now. I should have more discretionary control over what gets initialized. A patient should be able to stop the doctor from

I guess the "WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL" is referring to the narrator of these messages?

New phrase. popped up in front of a picture. it might be old but i have not seen it before. it was on the about page.

None of this means anything to me really. Its all just very creepy to me. There are a few references to Halo (ONI officer Kowalski, Reach is burning, etc.) but overall its like its just some seperate site that is some sort of weird cry for help. Kinda bone-chilling at times. That voicemail message could be scarier though. I'd like to hear some random mess. Imagine the log videos from "Event Horizon" but in a sound file only. The kind of scariness that makes your eyes water.
