I don't think it necessarily states that the maker of the video works at Bungie... at best, I just saw it as someone who thinks they could 'inspire' more people to try to 'decode' what he thinks he's seen in the trailer. And I do agree that while there are some interesting elements in the trailer that lend themselves to Bungie's reputation for the mysterious, it's definitely not solid ARG material, let alone officially from the makers of ILB (that is, 4orty2wo, Bungie, or Microsoft).

That said, it did inspire me to spend a little time digging through the frames of Cortana's in the trailer for myself. That's always fun when you're rewarded with the mysterious Smile

Well, here's his reply... I don't play Halo nor did I play ILB, so I don't know if this is a new quote or not.

Appears to be from Charles Darwin. Something relating to evolution?

yep, the quote's from Darwin. Didn't get a chance to google it before I posted it here. It's from his book THE DESCENT OF MAN... which goes nicely with THIS IS HOW THE WORLD ENDS.

By the way, THIS IS HOW THE WORLD ENDS is a TS Eliot quote. Here's the whole thing:

Between the desire, And the spasm
Between the potency, And the existence
Between the essence, And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom

For Thine is, Life is, For Thine is the

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

TS Eliot- The Hollow Men (1925)

john did you see the new video? he updated the blog as well. the new post on the blog has the same symbols that are in the video description. they look like the ones in the trailer too. i think its safe to say this is an arg. ill keep up with it.
