The server load thing..

Slashdotting wasn't that bad, it was only games.slashdot
Also, we know it's hosted at Rackspace.

Not sure what point you were making with #3

[clamatius]

I know the other stuff was already posted. The new information (Beast developer teamname) was at the top. But thanks for the trout, I was feeling like fish tonight anyway.

[edit]The point of #3 is that Microsoft is responsible for Halo 2's publicity and marketing. The team that developed the Beast work at Microsoft. Sorry I didn't make that clearer.[/edit]

Yes, the site has corperate backing. All of the related sites (yes, there's a lot) are hosted on 15 machines co-loc in about 3 states. The site has massive bandwidth behind it, I guarentee it.

Just wait, you'll see when the fun starts.

Anon isn't doing anything but starting rumors and wild spec.

I think he is trying to be helpful, but all you're doing is adding something that should be kept to a minimum.

So we're pretty sure this is the 'Beest'?

Well, sorry. I have just been astounded by the popularity of this project . My very point of posting is to stir up hype. What I have seen is of such great scope that it's very hard NOT to share it.

I am kind of envious, I would love to participate in such a game, but being my position, I can't. Maybe that's why I post, to try and participate in the only way I can. It's of such great magnitude that the term "Ignorance is bliss" comes to mind. Oh well.

I would have to say I am not sure at all.

You actually ARE influancing the game by giving us information we should not have.

I hope you didn't sign any kind of legal document about leaking information about the game.

[guest]

The information I give was already "known" in a way, I waited until today to post for that very fact, just wanted to give confirmation.


I'm going to stop posting now, I'll let the game go on and enjoy it from the sidelines. If anyone lives in the Oakland/SF area and wants to discuss things in person, I'm more than willing.

krystyn: once upon a time I studied a lot of physics and I suppose that taught me to live with doubt.

While it's possible that the Hive/ilovebees link is intentionally misleading, I find it very unlikely. Here's a straightforward train of thought on the link (just restating my previous points).

Who is responsible for marketing Halo 2 and therefore has control over the trailer?

Microsoft.

Who at Microsoft has sufficient experience and puzzle-making expertise to make a game like this? In other words, if Microsoft wanted to do a promo like this, who would they ask?

The Hive.

I hear that some people round here like, even love, the things that come out of the Hive?

Yes. I love bees.

I didn't know that there were 32 different domains and over 1.2 gigs of data involved.

Nobody else here did, either.

Until you told us.

That was insider info.

[Max Damage]

Oh, stop complaining! He was just reconfirming what we pretty much already knew.

[No.]

I didn't know that it was 32 domains and 1.2 gigs.

Now I do.

I feel like I've typed this before.

Oh, that's right.

He gave us information we were not supposed to have.
