 		[TRAILHEAD]? Strange Halo related ARG??
I just noticed an interesting thread at bungie.net (forums of the company that makes the Halo video games). Here's the original thread:

Link

The thread and website have very ARGish elements, and many Halo references. I'm not sure at this point, but this could be the start of, of course, an ARG for Halo Wars.

The first post references this website:
Link

This has been going on for several hours now, and the thread has reached about 40 pages, so I'm not sure what else has happened since then.

I have also noticed references to the satellite the government plans to shoot out of orbit soon.

(if this turns out to be for Halo Wars, I hope it's better than Iris, it was disappointing) Smile

 		Looks fairly basic and looking at the whois it's privately registered and the IP from Delaware.

I'd love for it to be a new project by the Bungie guys but somehow my spider sense is SCREAMING fan based but i've been wrong before.

I've lost hope in halo games after Iris and if it is real, they better actually make a complete game.

 		Unfortunately things are going so fast I can't get anyone to tell me what's happened so far Sad

And Bungie.net's forums have a LOT of users online at one time, which could explain 42 pages in 1 day Smile

Sounds like a war over there as to its legitimacy.

 		I guess it was nothing. The Bungie mods just locked the forum topic. So it was either a prank, or it was a real game but Bungie had to move it because of gamejacking.

 		If they locked it, I'm sure Bungie isn't behind it so I'm near 100% sure it's fan based.

 		My guess is it got locked because of the constant arguing and several gamejacks.

It's too bad to, the site looked professionally designed and everything.

 		If the guy wanted everyone to figure out the morse so bad, then he should have put spaces or slashes to denote letter breaks. It's not like encoding in binary or hex where you can run everything together and easily separate it after the fact.

 		The main thread was just reopened. At this point it does not look like an ARG for anything directly from Bungie, but it is still something.
