All the rage on the Bnet forums. Why even start to think that there is a connection?

Recon Number 54 (Bungie head moderator) said it best:
"Nearly a 600 year time difference, reality -vs- fiction, and people are getting riled up over that?

Wow."

Luke followed up:
"As always, all of the characters in our games are fictional. Any similarities between real life and the characters in our games are purely coincidental.

That said, this is both an unfortunate and untended coincidence. "

There is no connection, at all.

even if it was related... kind of pointless, saying that she probably wont play Halo 3... let alone see that video...

If the slip space jump leaves the city in ruins. What is there to do on it?

i was just thinking though... even if you are an ODST, then wouldn't that make you the last one because all the others got owned by the EMP blast? maybe the flood somehow appear there.

And is it just me or is Bungie making more depressing videos?

We don't know what the city is like after the jump, it is never addressed in any game. They can do whatever they want with the story, tbh.

It's a CG trailer. They blatantly stated that in the update.

"Keep it clean" does refer to the flood in some ways. But how would they get there? The flood captured the ship well after the master chief went through the slip stream.

isn't the crater by when you kill the AA gun in halo 3 the crater of the slip space?
idk, just a guess.

Or "Keep it clean" could be referring to how the AI there is some sort of city AI, perhaps an upkeep system in the city, considering it has cameras and whatnot in the city. Don't read too much into it. The AI doesn't see any Flood, there would be no reason for it to be displaying that message in relation to them.

You do realize the video shows the city after the jump, right? It is very clearly not a crater, at all. I don't know what you're talking about, but it doesn't matter anyways, because the city isn't a crater after the jump. I believe you're talking about the crater that uncovered the transportation device to the Ark, where Arbiter and Chief stand after said destruction of said weapon. If so, no, that was excavated, it was not caused by a Slipspace event.

God I hate when Bungie reveals anything.

I missed these edits. Dissolution, if you'd like to continue posting, it is advised that you stop trolling for conflicts. This applies to your PM to me as well.

They do this on purpose, soley to sit back and see what crazy conclusions people come up with. It's pretty entertaining too.

guysullavin · Post by **guysullavin** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 6:20 pm

i think they should just release it normally, it causes so much conflict when they do something confusing like this

and you right Tural, i had a brain fart there, my bad

I wish I had the ability to sit back and laugh at the things people say, but I love being right too much.

someone said they saw "1/6/9", i seem to remember there being a RUMOR that if you beat halo 2 on legendary you see the words "January 6" or something similar, could bungie be poking fun at that?

Veegie · Post by **Veegie** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 6:40 pm

No.

Everyone and their brother (I'm talking about gaming websites, not individual fans) is interpreting the multiple references to '01/06/09' as evidence that Bungie will release this new project on January 6, 2009. This is, of course, possible - but you also need to remember that the text being interpreted is ostensibly coming from an AI in Kenya, which uses the dd/mm/yy syntax for dates; we could be talking about June 1, 2009. And it might not be a release date at all. More when we know it.

eido · Post by **eido** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 6:54 pm

i guess not then, the conversations that appeared on bungie.net, in Keep it Clean, and Pardon our Dust, referenced someone getting a squad and some big unexpected disturbance (the slipspace rupture?), that, the teaser, and the names of the updates make me think we'll be playing as marines, and will be cleaning up New Mombasa, and by cleaning up I mean killing aliens.

o geez aleins? i sure hope halo is there. eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything.

latinomodder · Post by **latinomodder** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 7:07 pm

Please let it be released in January...

Anyone else thinks january seems like a reasonable release date seeing as the achievments for skulls are included in AU2(supposing these skulls are indeed in these campaign levels). Seeing the frequency of AU's we've had by June id suppose we'd have a new AU.

im also thinking that hte "prepare to drop" line and what looked like odst pods, the hell jumpers, in the teaser video are a sign that we'll be playin as hell jumpers. That makes some sense since they have kinda special suits and are supposed to be the best after the spartans. I think going from being a spartan to being a regular marine in the halo universe would kinda suck.
