There is also a counter that as of now reads 00:18:27:20. It is counting down by the second.

Are they just revamping the site, or is something big happening?



I am OCD. Title corrected.

Is there a Bungie Press Conference tomorrow by any chance?

Are you kidding me? frustrated

I'm betting they're saving the big announcement for PAX.

doh!
Edit: But thinking about it, I'm suspicious. Looks like it may be all part of the plan.

My suspicions have been raised too, especially after looking at this thread on the Bungie forums.

This is page 4
This is page 5

Now, look at the subject line at the top of both pages. thinking

(For the uninformed, the superintendent was part of the "hype machine" for the supposed announcement and was making appearances on the forums in usual Bungie fashion)

EDIT: Or it might be just be, as a certain Romulan Senator might say, a FAAAAKE!

EDIT #2: Turns out that first posters on a page can edit the subject title. So, this entire post = nothing.

Now I'm going to have to wake up before seven to see what the hype is now. But yeah, the more I look, the more I think something fishy is up.

Subject: E3 Announce

For the last several months, we've been building toward a reveal of something exciting that Bungie is working on. We were looking forward to sharing that with our fan community during the week of E3. However, those plans were just changed by our publisher.

We realize that many of our fans are disappointed by this turn of events; members of the Bungie team share that disappointment.

When the right time comes, we look forward to sharing this exciting announcement with you. Until then, we appreciate your continued support and patience.

From what I'm reading in their forums, it looks like they're starting up the hype machine again. In an interview with Don Mattrick it was confirmed that a new Halo game in the making. Note that we haven't heard anything about Ensemble Studio's Halo Wars here lately... *begin speculation*

It sounds like Microsoft didn't want Bungie (and the new Halo) to steal everybody's else thunder.

We'll get news in a month or so.
